Another new venture to report on this month, namely an operation calling itself Empire Military Miniatures
Once again, this company has been featured in the latest edition of TSC whose editor received a press release from the 'mysterious', and at the time undisclosed, owner
Amongst other things it was announced that their initial releases would consist of some WW1 Belgian infantrymen and some ECW Parliamentarian cavalry. The company's stated aim is to produce quality, matte painted figures sitting somewhere in between the standard of those currently being produced by K&C and First Legion
At the time of publication in TSC precise price points hadn't been decided but as a rule of thumb infantry figures would more than likely be sub £40 and cavalry figures sub £80
The company's stated business plan is to sell direct to the collector via the internet and at toy soldier shows with no plans at the moment to distribute their wares through the retail trade
Currently, the advertised website address, www.empiremm.co.uk, isn't live but they do have a presence on Facebook [see below] and a video posted on Youtube. Why not take a look, see what you think, and if you like what you see keep your eyes peeled for future developments, should there be any
