AFAIK, Blade Miniatures don't exist any more - they went belly-up well
over
a year ago (sadly, 20mm SF just didn't seem to be a big enough market to
keep them going); don't know what happened to their range, though it was
up
for sale in one of the UK wargames mags some time back; if anyone has
taken
it up they haven't got it back into production yet.
