Confrontation lives!

Legacy Miniatures is excited to announce that they have secured the license to the entire Confrontation back catalog, and will immediately start producing previously released and unreleased figures from this amazing and sorely missed miniatures line.

Confrontation was a game published by Rackham Entertainment until it entered liquidation in 2009, and some of the most amazing 28mm figures in the world ceased to be available at that time. Cyanide Studios, a prominent French video game developer, has acquired the Confrontation IP and has licensed the miniatures to Legacy Miniatures.

Well that's a bit exciting. Hopefully they can make a serious go of it.

**Reecius**

Good to know the minis are back, they were seriously inspired works.

That sounds pretty cool, I've seen old confrontation stuff and it looks awesome

**lord_blackfang**

I hate the mini line, but I know a few people who will be very happy.

**Platuan4th**

As long as this means easier to obtain Devourers, I'm all for it!

Now for someone to just pick up AT-43...

**ph34r**

I'm excited. Dirz was one of my favorite model ranges of all time.

Same here!

I loved almost every faction, actually...

Interested to see where this goes, and what (if any?) version of the rules they will be putting out and...supporting!

**AesSedai**

This is huge!

I have every model I could want, but they are going to be releasing the previously unreleased stuff like the hydra for mid nor.

Resin or metal?

**Platuan4th**

Interesting that Cyanide has obtained the Confrontation IP.

Perhaps this means that the oft asked Rackham video game may happen?

**Alpharius**

Good questions... especially about Mid-Nor's Hydra!

Well, and the metal or resin one too...

So many questions!

Need answers!

**Laughing Man**

Must acquire clean pants...

**orctez**

Great news!! Hope the black paladins are available soon!

**MightyGodzilla**

Goddamn! Confrontation had THE baddes unpainted metals! I hope that release is talking about the unpainted metals and not the PPMs.

I had Griffon, Wolfen, and Devourer armies. I remember back in 2009 making huge purchases from MiniatureMarket when the line went to the trough. That line was sorely missed. I'm glad it's coming back!

This is huge news.

Will they be bringing back the titan dragon? That thing was every fantasy gamer's dream.

Cyanide Studios, a prominent French video game developer, has acquired the Confrontation IP and has licensed the miniatures to Legacy Miniatures.

"We're incredibly pleased", said Vincent Fontaine Artistic Director of Legacy Miniatures and former Paint Director of Rackham Entertainment. "We're starting out slowly and doing about 2 to 4 releases a month, some miniatures that never saw production before Rackham closed its doors."

Working exclusively with CoolMiniOrNot, these "new" releases and re-releases of old favorites will first be avaliable at Gencon 2011 Indy, with the never before seen Hydra and the rare Flesh Golem making their debut. The plan currently is to produce limited runs, these incredibly hot miniatures will be sure to sell out fast!

"Obviously we're thrilled", said David Doust, co-founder of Cool Mini Or Not. "Although we handle beautiful miniatures every day, there is something special about Confrontation. We're looking forward to helping bring these miniatures back to life."

For further information, please contact info@legacyminiatures.com at Legacy Miniatures, or sales@coolminiornot.com at CoolMiniOrNot Inc.

There's the HYDRA answer right there!

Plus, looks like we'll be getting 'unreleased' stuff too.

Of course, at 2 to 4 (3?) miniatures a month, it is going to take a while to get everything back out, if that is even the plan.

Some of the less inspiring troops might never reemerge.

And, they have to release a rule set too, right?

**AvatarForm**

Im only interested in the previous-unreleased minis.

if I have some spare cash I may grab duplicates of certain minis... price point dependent.

**Scottywan82**

Interesting. Here's hoping it goes well, and isn't - as I've come to believe - a curse.

**Cryonicleech**

Sweet.

I was sad to see Rackham go, the minis were great, and I'm glad they're coming back.

**Zatsuku**

This is awesome, but I really hope to see the game return one day.

**AesSedai**

It will be great to get some molochs without paying $200 or suffering the Chinese recaster route.

**plastictrees**

This is great news. Not super happy that they'll be limited runs, but hopefully they aren't that limited.

**Hekal Xul**

Awesome news.
Being a Dirz collector I'd love to see this range re-juvinated. There were even plastic designs that never made it either like Athan Zakhil and his Prime Abberation that would be welcome additions.

And please, dont neglect AT-43.
Legend ed. Grim Golem Overseer, ONI zombie TACArmour variants and Korp troops....

**busby**

Like I've said on other forums: AWESOME! This is some great news. I didn't absolutely -love- the miniatures (Okay, for the most part I did). I did however seriously enjoy the way the game played. I didn't have much experience with the game (admittedly), but I did get enough to understand that there was something special involved.

Now if only AT-43 could make a comeback. My wallet would be in for some serious hurt.

**AesSedai**

@ Hekal Xul

I'll bet we'll be seeing the Dirz Wyrm too.

**Myrthe**

This is great news !!! Confrontation models were stunning and such a refreshing aesthetic (IMHO) that they reinvigorated my interest in the hobby.

But ...

I don't want to pee in anyone's cornflakes but didn't Rackham Entertainment, when they fully committed to pre-painted plastic, say they were destroying the spin-cast molds used to produce their metal models ?? I hope I'm remembering incorrectly but I seem to recall something like that on their own forums as they kicked-off a huge inventory sell-off of all their metal stock.

Jean Bey still had the masters used to make the molds.

**Hekal Xul**

Back @ AesSedai

I was just looking through all the old pics I had saved especially those of the Wyrm. A couple were WIP but the rest were of the finished piece that was probably meant for a Legends release? Tooo long ago. Pity the Dirz collection is really loaded up with Abberation types as the Zakhil Prime would have been nice also.

If I'm hearing that these will (hopefully) be produced from the masters and not degraded molds this would be even better news.

**H.B.M.C.**

I do hope someone grabs AT-43 as well. I really wanted a Therian army.

**BrookM**

I want those ONI Mercs and those flyers they hinted at with Frostbite.
