Wow. I guess it was inevitable, but it still hurts...

This is kind of like putting down the family dog that has been sick for a long time.
Everyone knew it was coming but it's still too bad.

Interesting and sad. Their online store has been down for a while now and was hoping it was not a sign of more dire circumstances. I was looking forward to AT-43 v2. Maybe it will still get published as a fan update.

Link blocked here at work, but I take it the company has gone under? Too bad, I grabbed a ton of Confrontation stuff during Fantasy Flight's seasonal sale last year. I wonder if we'll find some crazy deals with retailers unloading now...

That is what I am hoping, maybe I will be able to get myself a Karman army and a Cogs army for under $60...Still, there were a done of factors contributing to their closing, namely charging to much for their figures, handling distribution of their product really badly (I never got a Red Blok army box...), and just a general lack of communication.

Yeah. The game had a lot of potential and was a lot of fun the few times I got a chance to play it. The miniatures were awesome (heck, cigar smoking gorillas in power armor...yes, please!!) There are some rumblings that they still might release AT-43 v2 anyway which would be nice. I know they were allowing select groups play test it and they were all very positive about the changes.
I guess we are in the same state we were in before the announcement: Wait and See...

Too true. The game is really quite fun, nice n' light n' fast-paced. Hopefully they will release V2 soon...

This is unfortunate... I've been slowly collecting all the figures for every army, but now I believe I won't be able to complete my collection if the company is going under. I will agree that they were too pricey for my liking...

So i just found out At-43 is dead. Yeah slow to the party, oh well. There were some figures i wanted to pick up and now i can't find a decent online store for them. I was hoping somebody here could point me in the right direction.

MiniatureMarket.com just had a HUGE blowout sale on AT-43 and Confrontation minis. They still have a lot of it left at pretty deep discounts.

Yeah i saw that, but they are missing quite abit of the single heroes i was going to purchase. I'm probably going to pick up some of their stuff, but my search through the interwebs has come up dry. It seems like no one has a stock of this stuff around. When the main site went down it just vanished.

What heroes are you looking for? I'm sure someone has them.

Take a look at these guys. It's an eBay store, but they have some AT-43 in their Clearance section. The prices are pretty good and they do combine shipping on multiple purchases.

A fellow scaper picked up some AT-43 stuff at his local game store recently and offered them up for trade. Here is a link to his post about it.

I ended up making a trade with him for some of the army unit boxes and had no problems at all. Don't know if they heroes he has are what you are looking for, but they should still be available.

I saw several Rakham Confrontation sets a a game store last year and examined them - thinking only about making possible Heroscape customs. They looked great, but I could not afford to spend that kind of money, especially if there was no one I knew locally who might play the game with me. I'm glad I waited because I checked out that Discount_Games clearance section on eBay and now I'm salivating over getting several squads before the disappear totally forever.

Thanks for all the help guys. I was specifically looking for the ONI shogun(or hero) from the starter box N. Bokov.

This is the figure next to a warhammer guy.(i dont know warhammer, exscuse my ignorance)
Also was hoping to get some squads of the U.N.A. I saw someone made some great cards for those guys under Einar. Again thanks for all the help.
