So on eBay is a big alchemist army box of about 30 figures. looks to be Spanish language but I never knew rackham did these? What's the story with this. Did I miss them or is this an unauthentic product?

I am quite certain that R did not produce this
I have seen many auctions that have grouped different units together but I don't think I have ever heard of any seller bragging that it was an original boxset
now I am going to look this up on Ebay

The former german distributor had some bigger boxes with a white design for different armies, I think it was a germany-only thing, maybe it is something similar? It was something like a beginner-box with a lot of miniatures. The Alahan box for example had Agon, a musician, a standard-bearer, 3 Paladins, 3 Lancers and 3 Archers. 30 miniatures seem a lot, though. Are they the usual miniatures from the range, either metal or plastic?

It's a white box with a black rackham label with all the units on it. I don't speak Spanish so I cannot tell if the seller is saying is genuine but it just caught my eye. Also I guess it's strictly a ragnarok not confrontation product.

Hm, maybe it was a french-only production, because I found another one on a french forum and it has the same stuff that is listed on this auction. Look here. And also, on this Rackham Newsletter from 2004, this box is listed with the same stuff like on the french forum and the ebay thing. The original price was 180,-€. Seems to me like the real stuff and nothing recasted, so good luck with it! |

I wonder if an English version was ever produced?

So Rackham did put out these boxed armies, but they were rare. You will see one show up once in a while but it's definitely been a while since I have seen one.

Wow what a chunk of metal, maybe it's a little bit to much for one Confrontation player. Maybe if you add another hero you could get variating lists for more players out of this box. Good luck on your bids. Let us know the auction result.

It's a 1000 AP box for Rag'Narok, so the bigger game, not just Confrontation.  |

thanks for posting the link, I looked for international ebay listings in "Wargames-Confrontation" and missed this
the problem I have with box is the same that I have with any large very expensive set packaged by any wargame company, GW or Privateer. Way too much money all at once. I like the skirmish sized battles and skirmish sized packaging. I still end up owning everything they make for a given army but I do it my way.
kudoes to them for including a good character
also I am a little shocked that they included the old keratis warriors, the four with voulges. The newer box set was definately out by this release but it had a character included.

I'm the opposite I'll blow a large sum so I know it's done and I don't have to budget for more past the initial purchase but I only collect English language stuff. I missed the game during a hiatus from the hobby so in a weird way I want to own everything like I would have if I brought it first time round.  |
