Jean Bey leaves Rackham

[Corvus]

Read about it here: https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/2009/12/24/32394.

So what will he be up to? Maybe starting a new company with metal miniatures like the old Rackham? That's probably wishful thinking because he's probably the guy who decided to start with prepainted plastics...

EDIT: for those who don't know Jean Bey: he's the director of Rackham (and probably the founder too I guess).

I thought that guy owned the company?

[Corvus]

He's the big boss yes.
And also the creative director.

Read the comments on the news page, some people say Rackham is now really dead, the company has lost its soul. I agree with them.

With maru on this one! Ever since they started with pre-painted plastics it was over for me.

interesting news. maybe he's up to something good again?

[Skrit]

Apparantly, according to the text someone mentions a name of something new...

[Corvus]

Well he finishes his letter with See you soon again! so I guess he's up to something. I don't know if it's going to be metal miniatures again... the original talents of Rackham have all fragmented into small companies. I don't think there's enough market for yet another French skirmish game.
