I see that Navwar used to produce these, but their 15mm Link button appears to have been disabled, so I'd like to know if the Naismith/Roundway, Italian Wars, and/or Burgundian Wars, and Samurai figures are still available? The Naismith/Roundway shop link isn't working for me either, but perhaps they are shut down temporarily due to the current situation. |

The Naismith Roundway ranges are still available – I received some of their ECW figures a month or so back. The website is currently showing a security issue with my browser. When it is accessible it doesn't look promising as the comments section is full of spam. I emailed the owner a couple of times but got no response. Which didn't really fill me with confidence, but the figures did turn up about 3 weeks after I placed the order.
So it is still operating. |

Thanks for that. I suspect perhaps they've just shut down temporarily (hopefully), due to the lockdowns. Their figures look quite nice. |

Just tried their website on my desktop ( Windows and Edge browser ) and it all opens fine. Only problem I can see is that it is an http site and not an https site which accounts for my phone blocking it as insecure. |

If you are looking for nice Italian Wars figs the Venexia range is available from Lancashire. link |

@Stosstruppen,
Thanks for the tip – Venexia. The Ottomans are on my November purchase list.
Cheers, |

Thanks for the reminder on the Venexia minis. They are wonderful looking. I'm very happy to see them back in production. |

I had an order placed for five months which didn't turn up and no response to emails – except for the first which promised they would be with me in a week.
A shame, as I like much of their range, especially the various Islamic states. |

If you're after Ottomans have you checked out the Khurasan figures? |

I have a quite a lot of the Venexia figures. Some are very good but some of the moulds are getting a bit tired, the proportions are off on others and there isn't much variety in the armoured horses. The Gendarmes' armour is also very angular (Germanic?) so not a great choice if you want to do French or Italians. If I was buying new figures for the Italian Wars, I'd be looking at Khurasan who have a new range for the later period, late 15th C that could be good for the first phase and a the best range of early 16th C Swiss. link

Khurasan would be my first choice if I lived in the US, but…
Avoiding high shipping costs and customs fees are factors to weigh when ordering miniatures. |

Just to clarify – my order was for Roundway, not Venexia. I have had good service from Lancashire minis who now sell Venexia. Blue Moon are available in the UK. The foot tend to be very tall and are chunkier than Venexia so IMHO don't mix. The cavalry are a bit more compatible |
