From the Perry's FB page:
"We are aware that there are rumours flying around that we have left Games Workshop! Thought we should set the record straight and let you all know that…we have! After 36 years, man and boy, working on Warhammer, 40K and of course, for the last 15 years LotR and the Hobbit we are now able to focus our energy on our historical ranges.This means more time to dedicate to Perry Miniatures, and of course Mr Jackson who we continue to make 54mm WW1 figures for. We had an excellent evening on Friday at The Trip to Jerusalem with GW, and ex-GW, colleagues and friends who got us very, very drunk - cheers!"

Re: Perry Brothers - Free at last.
It's a happy break up if any. I'm hoping to see even more historics from them. Once I can get a handle on my collection, I'd like to paint some select miniatures from them.

Re: Perry Brothers - Free at last.
Conventional wisdom has it they were just sticking around to finish off the LOTR figures. 40k/FB has been missing the Perry touch for years.

Re: Perry Brothers - Free at last.
A lot of the Perry Lotr and Hobbit stuff has been great, and I really liked the system. A shame it didn't gain traction. But who would buy the Hobbit minis at today's GW asking prices? This ensured the new incarnation was dead before it got going. Idiotic, and rather a shame that such nice work is being sold for silly money and more of us couldn't afford to enjoy what they produced.
Good news for historicals though. More plastics I hope.
