mj12games.com/forum → Defiance → Iron Mammoth RIP?
Iron Mammoth sculpted the greens of the Defiance Assault Troopers.
Just saw a depressing front page announcement here:
I have yet to hear from IM myself, but will let folks know as soon as I do. If anyone has any information, please post it here.
David Drage: are you still checking this forum?...All the best to your family, in any case.

Kudos to mr. Drage for prioritizing family before business. Too few people do so, I believe.
Still, can't help feeling disappointed that it's again looking like there will never be official Defiance miniatures. Come to think of it, the entire history of D:VG's been a bit of an uphill battle, eh?
Ah well. Have to count my blessings (they amount to the D:VG rulebook, although it's a kind of keystone blessing of course so I'm not complaining too loudly) and go back to "converting" the SST Mobile Infantry into Assault Troops, then...
Well, its certainly a good thing for him to concentrate on his family like that when he is needed. I wish him only the best...
Perhaps he will still do the Defiance minis as a freelance project at some point, as mentioned in the first portion of the announcement on the website.

Looks to me like he's going to be just doing freelance sculpting. Given that he was attempting to sculpt, cast, and market, this will be a serious drop in workload, especially if he wasn't the kind of guy who found accounts, P&L Statements, and reconciliations to be easy, intuitive and fun.
This leaves you looking for moulding and casting. I know that Reaper miniatures does both. questions@reapermini.com is the email address that might lead you to getting a quote.
Here's a guy who does moulding: http://www.themoldworks.com/
Also, Eureka miniatures http://www.eurekamin.com.au/ has its "100 club" where they'll design and cast anything if you can ensure 100 sales of that item (I think).
Hi all, sorry I have not responded to this thread before, I only just spotted it! :oops:
Thanks for understanding my reasons for backing off a bit on the figures manufacture side of things. 
I am indeed going to concentrate on freelance scultping for the time being.
However, on the subject of Defiance do not give up all hope of the figures turning up. I have had the production moulds produced and will be collecting the first castings sometime this week (maybe the weekend, depending on schedules etc.). 
As soon as I have some I will post samples to Demian!
As for what happens then, well it is all in the air. I still really like Defiance and want to produce the figures for it. I certainly wont be selling them direct to the public myself, but there are several option open that Demain and I are discussing. Nothing can be confirmed until Demian has product in his hands, obviously!
I may carry on producing the figures here in the UK and ship them to the US. I will only consider this if I can find a company in the UK who would like to sell them over here.
There are other options, but I can't go into too many details at the moment.
I can assure you that, one way or another, the figures will be available in the very near future!
Thanks

And there was much rejoicing! Whee!
