Does anyone have information concerning Warrior Miniatures? Their site has a page stating: "Unfortunately due to personal circumstances we are unable to take any orders or respond to queries at this time".

From TMP . theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=556266"Hi all. John Holt has asked me to drop a line on TMP to let people know what is going on. Warrior is still in business but John has been very ill and suffered a family bereavement, so production is on hold for a while. He hopes to get back to normal by end of January/February next year, but I'm sure you will understand how difficult things are at the moment and join with me in wishing him a speedy recovery." |

Thanks for that, Les. Real Life has this way of tweaking things….. The possibility of resuming production is a good sign 👍🏼👍🏼 |

Thanks for the update Les.
Just to clarify, the message quoted was posted in Dec 2021, so at that stage they hoped to back in production in Jan/Feb earlier this year, 2022.
There is a later message from the 21st April 2022 saying:
"John is out of hospital but the recovery is taking longer than expected, I'm afraid."
Hopefully recovery will be soon, but as yet there is still no date when they may be open for business again.

Second that sentiment. When I spoke to him in 2020 having ordered my first napoloenics after 45 years of gaming he pointed out he was still making figures at 78!

Indeed, I second that sentiment, John Holt is great guy, who has done a lot to help make wargaming with big armies (in many scales) accessible to all. And if anyone is in touch pass on my best wishes to John, and his family, sad to hear he has been so ill, and has had a bereavement too. Its a long time ago since I first encountered John, selling his figures (at that time) from a shop (long gone) on south side of Glasgow.
All best to John.
