Wellington, New Zealand – March 2015: Gary Hunt Miniatures is excited to announce a new partnership with ZombieSmith, the U.S.-based producer and distributor of wargaming miniatures. The scene is set for a re-release of the Fantasy War range, followed soon after by the pulp sci-fi 21st Century Amazons collection. GH minis will be available from ZombieSmith this April, starting with the Firedrake. In addition, Gary has many new and soon-to-be-revealed designs in the works. Look out for Z-brush digital renders, workbench photos, and more in the coming months.
"I'm really thrilled to be working alongside ZombieSmith," said Gary Hunt, founder of GHM. "The partnership will allow me to focus fully upon producing new content for gamers and collectors. New miniature lines will join a whole host of future creations, including terrain, vehicles and rulesets."
New Zealand-based Gary has been producing wargaming miniatures since 1995. His first job was with Grenadier U.K. He has subsequently collaborated with Anton Ducrot (sculptor and founder of Flytrap Factory – recently partnered with ZombieSmith) on numerous projects. They stay in regular contact, and can often be found sharing thoughts and ideas regarding both the miniatures world and the film industry (of which they are both part). Gary has worked for Weta Workshop as a sculptor/designer for 15 years now, and has been part of numerous films, such as Lord of the Rings, Avatar, King Kong and The Hobbit. He has also sculpted many of the Weta collectibles range.
U.S.-based Josh Qualtieri of ZombieSmith has been releasing cool and quirky miniatures for almost 15 years, providing fun figures and energized rulesets. Joshua spent 17 years in feature film animation, working on such films as Wall-e, Brave and Ratatoille before deciding to make games full-time. ZS teamed up seamlessly with Flytrap Factory last year, and is excited about this new pairing.
ZombieSmith will take over production and fulfillment of Gary Hunt Miniatures within North America and Europe (customers within Australasia will receive orders direct from Gary Hunt Miniatures, New Zealand).
