Terrible news, Heretics.

At the Alumwell figure show in Walsall, Birmingham, a gang of
thieves broke in over the Saturday night and targeted the stall of
Dave Thomas. Dave stocks various figure ranges and for the first
time was selling Heresy goods. To aid him, I had for the very first
time allowed my own painted figures, the ones from the website, to
be borrowed for display purposes. They were hidden (in a large black
games workshop 'hard' figure case, with the words 'Andy's 40k chaos'
painted on in white paint) under a table in some empty cardboard
boxes. The thieves stole all of Dave Thomas Games Workshop or
similar-looking-to-GW (eg Void, Renegade) stock, which included all
the Heresy stock. The Thieves also stole some of the painted fantasy
and sci-fi figures he had, INCLUDING the Heresy figures! Now, i'm
not *too* bothered about the stock, it can easily be replaced, i'd
been paid..what has devastated me is that all the painted Heresy
figures were stolen!!!

So, I'm asking everyone to help out here. The figures were all the
painted ones from the site, more or less, plus one new Azaroth
Fallen One in a red colour sheme with a one scythe, some (poor)
black mottling on the wings. It is most likely that these figures
will turn up either on Ebay, (probably being sold as gw stock, but
possibly not since the thieves have all the blisters to refer to) or
at a car boot sale somewhere in the country, probably in the
midlands area. The Heresy blisters have pictures of the figures
inside made out of paper I printed out. If you see a Heresy blister
at your local car boot sale, and it has a picture in it of the
figure inside, IT IS STOLEN goods and you must call the police
immediately and get them to grab the trader. No other trader has
ever had blisters with pictures of the figures inside, this was the
first time I had done it.

I will give a reward (of stock) to anyone who leads to the recovery
of any of the painted figures or even the stock, and helps to put
these scum away behind bars.

So in summary, I am asking for your help to scour ebay and your
local car boot sales or second hand stores in the coming month or
two. If you spot anything that looks like a pro-painted Heresy
figure (or a half-painted winged netherlord, the back is black
undercoated - they apparently left the white undercoated figure of
the spined netherlord, they were clearly after GW style painted figs
to sell on) or reminds you of one from the site, phone me with
details or the police if you're sure what you're looking at. If the
shop owner is a trustworthy type whom you know, ask him where he got
the figure from. I want my painted children back, you have no idea
how much time and effort went into those for free on the behalf of
the people who did them!
It also means the cabinet's going to be pretty bare at Salute this
year!

Hope you can help

Cheers
