No, don't worry, nothing religious going on!
Christian Miniatures has been added to the Directory. Based in Italy, the company is named after the guy who operates it.
He has a rather eclectic range (a 16th Century Italian fencing master, anyone?) so it is well worth while going over to his website and having a mooch round...
...of Wargames Atlantic !
Most new figure companies start with a single period and gradually build a good range before moving on to other armies/periods/whatever. These guys turned up with big ambitions and a seemingly scattergun approach! Initial releases were a single box of multipose figures from four different historical periods!
We are now starting to see these ranges being fleshed out a bit, with about a dozen different historical boxes available plus some sci-fi and fantasy stuff.
So its well worth periodically checking their website for new releases as they are currently working on all this lot...
IN THE PIPELINE
Final Part Check happens before the files for a set are sent to the engineers to prepare them for tooling (Tool Prep). Once final parts and layouts are approved they are sent to tooling (In Tooling) to have the molds cut. When tooling is complete and test shots have been done, the set is ready for production, boxing, and release.

10 other things we're not talking about yet! | Secrets! |
Slave2 Gaming has been added to the Manufacturers Directory.
Based in Australia, they seem to be more of a fantasy figure manufacturer but also do a few historical lines. Naturally enough these focus on Aussie subjects, but they also do a very nice looking Robin Hood range. Well, he was an outlaw...
Trenchworx has been added to the Directory.
Based in the USA, they are a 3D printing company that produce a range of US figures suitable for the Normandy landings. They also make a load of tanks and other vehicles from WW1 to post-WW2. Oh, and a great-looking landing craft!
I recommend popping over for a shufti...
Empress Miniatures have released a range of WW1 Russians to complement their British and German figures.
As usual, they look excellent!
Just a quick note today. SHQ Miniatures has got a shiny new website and also has the 28mm ranges available again.
The Directory has been updated to reflect this!
Crann Tara Miniatures has been sold to Caliver Books .
For those of you unfamiliar with Caliver, they also own several other miniatures lines such as Miniature Figurines and Matchlock Miniatures. It seems that the plan at the moment is to keep the Crann Tara website running but allow some sort of joint ordering system!
I've added Thistle And Rose to the Directory thanks to info provided by Bill Hupp!
Hopefully it is accurate enough to do them justice. Unfortunately it appears that their only web presence is on Facebook, which I can't access without downloading and agreeing to a load of crap. So I haven't.
Bloody Miniatures has been added to the Manufacturers Directory.
A new company, they make a range of figures for the English Civil War and the Thirty Years War that are designed to be compatible with Bicorne and Renegade. The emphasis is on 'character' figures good for skirmish gaming, rather than standard 'rank-and-file' type poses.
There are some great photos of some lovely looking figures on their website, so you should definitely pop over for a shufti!
Regimentos De America has been added to the Manufacturers Directory.
Based in Spain, they appear to be the retail arm of the Napoleonic Virtual Museum. They have a small but expanding range of Napoleonic figures for France, Austria, and the Loyal Lusitanian Legion.
The figures are cast in resin and there is a helpful comparison photo on their site showing compatibility with Warlord, Perry, and Front Rank!
Here is a shot of their French Aides De Camp...
