| Rackham was a producer of very fine miniatures in the early 2000's and had several game systems at the time; Confrontation (a typical tabletop miniatures game), Hybrid (a board game using a selection of figures from the tabletop), as well as a number of expansions (including Nemesis). They also produced a high-quality magazine (Ragnarok) to go along with their games, including expansions, scenery etc. Sadly they went bust around 2005 or 2006 and most of the items are hard to get hold of now. | Rackham was a producer of very fine miniatures in the early 2000's and had several game systems at the time; Confrontation (a typical tabletop miniatures game), Hybrid (a board game using a selection of figures from the tabletop), as well as a number of expansions (including Nemesis). They also produced a high-quality magazine (Cry Havoc!) to go along with their games, and the magazine was a source of additional items including expansions, scenery etc - very hard to find these days. |

| * [[:blog:miniatures:rackham:confrontation:dirz|Alchemists of Dirz]] | Sadly Rackham went through a number of unsuccessful changes (moving from fine metal miniatures to pre-painted plastic models, reinventing several of their gaming systems) and ended up going bust around 2005 or 2006 and most of the items are hard to get hold of now. A small number of companies still sell either original 'licensed' models, or straight-up recasts/reprints of the originals. Original boxes models turn up from time to time on Ebay, but are incredibly expensive. |

| === Alchemists of Dirz === | A sad end for a company that arguably produced some of the most detailed metal fantasy figures of //anyone// - the vast majority still stand up some 20+ years later as a match for anything currently available. |
