Back in the noughties, Harbinger Magazine was launched and swiftly became my favourite glossy miniatures mag. It was part of Griffin Miniatures with the editor as Mark Lanckham although I don't have much to go on barring that... any information would be great. I am still searching out my copies of the magazine so will find more myself. Wayback Machine shows 25 back issues available although the detailed pages weren't captured. Vague thoughts that these were rereleased at some point although a few people has said not. The sculptor was a Dave Hughes? According to Wayback Machine, there were 12 miniatures... only names for ten on the capture; Fire, Justice, Pestilence, The East, Wrath, Despair, Fury, Pain, The Cleansing Flame and The Fallen.
Edit; found some more of the magazines. First issue is 0, August 2003 then I have issue 3, December 2003 (was there an issue 1 squeezed into the in the intervening months?) and 4 then issues 6 (March 2004) through to 13 (October 2004) which are monthly. Issue 14 is dated December 2004 with no reason mentioned for the gap) then back to monthly to my last issue, no.18 (April 2005).
Great if you could fill in the gaps!
Edit - Cattwister on Los Minis posted a page last month!

Never re released. I have most of those though! Most unpainted and unassembled with the exception of the angel winged one and the Doc Ock inspired figure.
Wow this is a blast from the past. I gave all the magazines away before one of my many house moves but kept the Harbingers. I've painted many but not all of these. The Harbinger with all the swords is a favourite and you'll have noticed that the one they painted for the magazine had a pair of swords missing. For some reason I have two of the blind archers who've been in several games. The most recently painted is the tall Norseman. Indeed two i've not painted are the ones that Phil has done! Perhaps we should team up!
Thanks for the post.
