IMP08 Muster Girl last day free with orders!

IMP08 bagged for sending out free!
Today is the last day to get IMP08 Muster Girl free in all orders with us.  Any order you place will recieve one casting of this miniature automatically.  From 1st May this miniature will be replaced with IMP09.  This was the promo miniature at Salute 2014 and we handed out two hundred on the day with purchases and have send out more than five hundred across the month in total.

IAF015 Hab Dome
So if you fancy getting a Hab Dome or a Malig Platoon (with unique Senga miniature free) or even a pack of 20mm Round Bases and want this miniature free with it today is the day.

I would also like to announce that I have now had the requisite 500 requests about the free monthly miniature and will now discuss it with the rest of the Ion Age team.  We will announce our choice when its made but it will mean that IMP series miniatures will be released for purchase a time after their free period.

Thanks everyone for your continuing support of our new brand and as we begin to think about our first anniversary this summer we value your faith in us.

  1. Wow, almost a year already?? Time flies :) I think it's a shame about the free miniatures being put into production. Having them run for a limited time made them more unique, I'm guessing possibly the original idea, a unique gift for our custom? Sure there have been a few I've missed, but such is life.

    Any way congratulations on nearly a year on the web and keep up the good work!

    1. Thanks Mark. The anniversary is actually still a while off, it will be marked with releases and offers and of course IMP12 as well. Three months to go. Basically the free miniature was a little present for our customers but in recent times emails to me have complained that new comers cannot get them. Such is life but if you came in this month you would have missed IMP01-8. The offer will keep everyone mainly happy I hope. GBS

    2. Aye, Gavin I do understand your position and why you've been forced to release the free IMP mini's, I read that idiotic thread on TMP.... It just annoyed me when the people complained they were getting a limited FREE miniature when they ordered from you, or lack there off if they didn't order that month...

      Any way, keep up the good work and I hope the compromise does keep everyone happy. I fear they'll moan that it's not limited enough now.

    3. They will and they are already. I have had dozens of emails on this with some rather upsetting tone to them. Anyway. Its only fair to allow late comers a limited chance. All I wanted to do was give something free away. I am leaning towards a 'Year One' listing of the 12 and allowing purchase of each or all of them for one month a year in August perhaps. GBS

  2. Yup i must agree with Mark Burgess as i also placed several orders just so that i could receive the limited edition miniature of the month assuming they would never be put back into production making them something a bit special to own and collect as you originally stated and was the original idea..... Anyway happy 1st anniversary.

    1. Hello Zac. I cannot keep everyone happy and as time passes the new customers and fans will continue to complain more and more as they increase in number and the range continues to expand. They are fun, they are free and you can collect them. I am seeking a middle ground of them being around again for a limited time before going away again but they would be paid for, not free. In the end you have still won in this as you have them for free and before now and all the items you paid for too. Three months until the anniversary. GBS
