 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. 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 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.

Completed figures are highlighted in the gallery pages above. The list of individual models and photos is too long for this page, so they are split out by faction.
