Latest news from Ian Kay of Irregular Miniatures

I recently mentioned that Ian Kay of Irregular Miniatures was retiring and that the company would cease trading towards the end of March.

Since then, the company has been inundated with large orders and Ian has had a rethink and has announced that they won’t be taking any further orders after 1st March.

Ian Kay's latest announcement regarding the last day on which Irregular Miniatures will be able to accept orders.

As I stated in my earlier blog post, I wish Ian a long and healthy retirement and hope that someone will buy Irregular Miniatures as a going concern … and that the sale provides Ian with a sizeable nest egg for his well-deserved retirement.

    BOB,
    I thought that Ian would be inundated with orders. Have you any plans for a Naval game featuring your Hexon terrain? Cheers. KEV.

      Kev Robertson (Kev),

      I must admit that I expected that this would happen … and one of those orders is from me!

      I hope to stage a naval wargame as soon as I’ve got my blue Hexon II hexes out of storage.

      All the best,

      Bob

    Like Kev, I am not at all surprised by the rush to buy Irregular figures while they're still available!

      Maudlin Jack Tar,

      I just wish that I had enough money to buy Irregular Miniatures and keep it going ... but unless I win the National Lottery, that is just going to be a pipe dream. It has been a wonderful resource that will be sadly missed.

      All the best,

      Bob

      It certainly will be missed, Bob. My ‘last minute order’ went in last night…
      With the contribution Ian has made to our hobby he really does deserve a long and happy retirement.

      Martin S.,

      I suspect that there’s going to be a bit of a time delay between orders being placed and fulfilled … but it’s great that they are going out with a bang and not a whimper.

      All the best,

      Bob

    BOB,
    That would be good- like to see your naval game. Will you need to make extra miniature ships for the gaming? Cheers. KEV.

      I will certainly be building several miniature fleets as part of this project. Its just a matter of time - or lack of it - that is stopping me.

      All the best,

      Bob

      Geordie an Exiled FoG,

      Very true. Hopefully their products will continue to be available from another manufacturer.

      All the best,

      Bob
