So, if you've got an order with them, you've just lost your cash.

They are currently trading as:

http://www.mierce-miniatures.com/

And as the company "Bane Legions" producing a model range.

I would avoid buying from any of those companies, as they are shell companies aimed at avoiding paying off a massive debt during liquidation of maelstrom. You're VERY likely to lose your money if you deal with them.

Pure stupidity. No sympathy for Malestrom at all.

It's been a long time coming. I imagine most people would of given them wide birth after last months statement on funds and firesale.

Their claim for the last two months was that they wanted to clear stock so they could move warehouses.

It was only just two weeks ago that the first real evidence hit, with Graham at simple minis (I assume none of you actually know who he is... :P) clarifying that he wasnt supplying them. It was only about... three? days ago that Graham, maelstrom and then wayland clarified the re-allocation of debts, and entering of liquidation of maelstrom.

I'm certain that 99% of people didn't know what was going on. I only knew because of business contacts and keeping my finger firmly on the pulse of these things. I wouldn't expect anyone from the general public to care enough to keep track of this stuff.
