Subject: Discount Miniatures Trove: [Confrontation Age of Rag'Narok]
So about about 14 months ago we "invested" $200 in a huge pile of discount Confrontation miniatures from MM. Here's the epic unboxing video, in case you want to see the loot.

Every once in a while I kick myself for not getting into the Ram Army when it came out, as that's essentially impossible now. I have probably as many as 3,000pts each of Wulfen, Griffin and Dirz.
Also loved AT-43!!

Yeah, I bought a Ram army box on eBay last year and I'm still a little sick about what I paid for it. Even though it's a great pre-painted army.
On the flip side, I purchased a used AT-43 Initiation Set on eBay for only $36, with some extra figures and terrain pieces packed in. So it all goes around. (Hopefully.)

I feel I was fortunate to get both the Ram and Oni army boxes at a discounted retail price (MM) when they came out. I also love all these pre-paints and probably won't ever sell them because it's nice to have big groups of painted models in a game for a change, lol. I may end up using some different rules for them at some point, though.

Very true. What's changed recently is the Sans-Detour plans for "Confrontation Classic", which is now up to almost $800,000 on Kickstarter (perhaps reigniting interest in some of the old Rackham miniatures). At the same time, MM appears to have raised prices on their remaining Confrontation AoR minis. And that inventory seems to be dwindling.
So if anyone did want to pick up some AoR minis from MM, perhaps that window is closing. Of course there's always eBay.

Same here!
There's a lot of classic Tir-na-bor, Dirz and Wolfen stuff I'd love to own...again.
I have a feeling that Sans-Detour's efforts are going to end in a gigantic fireball, and that Cadwallon.com might rise from that set of ashes...

I bought three Ram Army boxes, the Gargoyles are especially nice, and I used an Almighty Skull as my Daemon Prince for a while.
