I was checking the Legio Heroica website and noticed that there is a new post (dated 9th January) in the "News" section. Seems an encouraging sign.

Menacussecundus,
Thank you for the heads up and the news was encouraging.
All my late medieval armies are Legio Heroica and some lack the optional elements.

Thank you for the heads up and the news was encouraging. I agree...good to know that the NOG (Nephews of Giuseppe) are continuing to process orders for Legio Heroica figures. Such splendid ranges... But Eric Donaldson and I wonder how long the NOG will continue to do this before they find it's too labor-intensive to continue. ( Disclaimer: We have no inside knowledge; this is just sheer speculation.) But, just in case, I'll be ordering figures for Communal Italian and Zanj Revolt armies shortly. |

I placed an order for Polish Renaissance figures a few days ago, but I do not expect the delivery of product to take place in the same week, as was the case in the past. Reaching the standard set by Giuseppe will take time, however between the three, I believe interesting changes can take place. |

Edit:
I received this morning Eugenio’s response to my order for Polish Renaissance figures.
They are still settling into a work rhythm that serves best for the trio,
but there are no shortages of stock for all their listed items, which is good news.
Now it is a matter of picking, packing and posting.

I've been checking the Legio Heroica website every few days to see if their "Temporarily Closed" status would change. The Nephews of Giuseppe (NOG) had been running the store intermittently since his death over a year ago. Back in May, the NOG said they hoped to resume operations "soon".
Now the website is just gone. Poof! No surprise, really. --Why should they maintain and pay for a dormant website if they have no plans to continue his business?
But I'll continue to enjoy the Legio Heroica figures I have. :-)

Yes, I saw this the other day and my heart sank, just a little 😢 I hoped that they’d find a way to resurrect the business, but it doesn’t look that that will be happening now…

And now their website is back up, but no further news updates - strange…

I've had a number of LH minis for a couple armies in my "To Buy" list for a long time. I too check the website every few days, but I'm starting to lose hope...

Today, I sent an email to legio@legio-heroica.com. As dormant as the Legio Heroica website has been this past year, I rather doubt any of the "Nephews of Giuseppe" are checking that email, but it can't hurt to try.

Sadly Paul, I think that we've seen the last of the Legio Heroica figures. It's a great pity. Cheers, |
