For those of you who like metal miniatures that fit well with the 5th edition Brettonian armies, looks like Gripping Beast is closing their doors.

Apparently the owners are retiring and thus closing their shop. As Gripping Beast just bought Front Rank a year or two back, for the same reason as well, this is kind of a blow to my idea of building up a 5th edition force of Brettonians.(and a WOR themed imperials as well) I guess all things come to an end at some point in time, but if they were going to retire themselves, why buy up another range?
For the record I am not a fan of Perry's line of miniatures, they are too damn small where it matters. Neither is 3D printing all that practical right now for me. I guess that I will be putting in a few orders from now until the end of the year. This and GW discontinuing a lot of what I pick up from them, it has been a pretty rough year when it comes to adding to my collection.
