I think the issue with Rackham was a failure to catch the English speaking market. Confrontation wasn't well translated and when they tried to spin the setting into an RPG it wasn't great.

I think if they had just stuck to their absolutely beautiful metal miniatures they'd have been ok.

The pre-paints was the nail in the coffin for them IMO. Their sci-fi line AT-43 wasn't bad for the vehicles (since they were hard plastic) but the infantry was bendy and kind of poor quality.
