New Prices for Resistant Roosters

Posted on by

In the spirit of doing things differently, we here at HistoriFigs are once again are doing the unexpected…

After much research and number crunching we have arrived at a new pricing structure for the Resistant Roosters line of 15mm miniatures.

While others are increasing prices, we have decided to reduce our standard pricing for the 15mm World War II miniatures included in the Resistant Roosters line.

Our typical prices are being slashed by about 10% – a typical Combat Platoon will now be priced at $19.25, while a typical Support Platoon will be priced at $9.50 (see our new price sheet for full pricing
details).

In addition to our new prices we have decided to restructure our Company Box offerings. We now offer two types of company boxes:

  1. ‘Standard’ Company Box; typically contains an HQ plus two Combat platoons.
  2. ‘Deluxe’ Company Box typically contains an HQ plus 2 Combat platoons and one or two Support platoons.

Our new prices take effect on 1 June 2008…

Resistant Roosters now priced differently!

Scruby Line goes on Summer Vacation

Posted on by

The end of May marks the beginning of our summer casting schedule – School is out and Alison has fewer casting hours available..

Add to this all of the extra summertime farm chores and there are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done.

So, in an effort to keep all things at a manageable level, we are putting the Scruby line on hiatus. From 15 June through 15 September the Scruby line will not be in production. Our other miniature lines will retain an ‘in production’ status.

Yes, there will be exceptions to the rule, in some cases we have castings in stock and these will be listed as available and will ship out as any other ‘stock’ castings. And, yes, you can still order Scruby figures during the summer, but be aware that order processing for non-stock Scruby figures may take several weeks.

Look for more news in the coming days…

Mid-May News

If you are reading this, you have found our new News page – actually the new Table Top Talk website. All of the old pages should now redirect to this new location http://tabletoptlak.com. You may also notice that we are filling in a few additional pages (initial migration of the Wargamer’s Corner content is almost complete). Eventually we will have things organized and running smoothly – for now a few areas might not be quite right, but things should shape up fairly quickly.

In other news, we are a bit behind on production of the new Panzergrenadier figures – however these should start shipping next week.

Next week I’ll be posting pictures and a review of some figures (Ghastly & Co. Roman Zombies) painted by Jeff at Dansville Wargamers. Oh, I’ll be reviewing the painting and not the figures, can’t really review figures we produce…

Also, a reminder that we will be in St. Louis this weekend attending Barracks Battles, so if you are in the area be sure to come by and check out the convention and maybe stop by and say howdy.

Well, that is about it for now, more news and other goodies next week.

Finnish Jalkaväkikomppania Organization

Posted on by

As usual, there are million projects in the works around here, so today I thought that I would share an extract from one of them. For each of the Resistant Roosters Company Boxes, we have been working up some guides to company organization; not specifically targeted at any game system, but more along the lines of historically accurate. How well these turn out depends on the quality (and quantity) of information we can gather. Completed and int he ‘box’ so far are guides for USMC and Japanese Rifle Companies. Today, we are showing you what we have for Finnish Jalkaväkikomppania organization. The basics are done (and correct), next I just need to write some supporting and explanatory text to go with the data tables. So without further delay…
