Ottomans on their way

| Janissaries on campaign - two thirds of a unit minus Command |
They arrived at 1600 and are on their way to all the pre order customers tomorrow!

| Which one wasn't speed painted? 2 x 45 minutes, 1 x 90 minutes |
Here is a taste of what is coming your way in the post. Codes OT001 - OT004 nearly sold out in the first batch so we are barely hanging on with those till we get reinforcements.

Come on, more? Really? Warfare Minis Guest Gallery 5
I've managed to get to a fifth in the series of Warfare painted miniatures from the brushes of excellent painters whilst maintaining the quality!
Here we have some super, stylish Saxons from the very prolific brush of Roger Castle. Roger can be found evangelising about the GNW on several fora at the moment. His work output is high and he has done a wonderful job on his Warfare minis.
Friend and...
Ottomans - keeping them coming!

| Managed to complete one full code - Campaign dress Janissaries loading/priming |
OK - the big job - prepping 90 models for the production moulds has been done this week, Scraping and filing castings which are not going to be painted is a very tedious job so I punctuated that by quickly painting a few more of the new castings.

| One more figure to add to the Campaign dress firing code |
These are speed...
White-out at Aspern-Essling - reflections on Claymore
 |
| When I faltered, members of the gaming public were there to remind me of what I'd written in the rules - nice! |
We do other stuff... a lot of people know that (in my best Maurice Micklewhite parody).

| Toggy's nice pontoon bridge is underneath the French transport! |
Toggy keeps a painter chained to a radiator somewhere in order to achieve the volumes of Austrians he has amassed over the passed three or...

| Warfare Miniatures' top selling code WLOA01 - Musketeers in firing line |
As the hot summer continues, I am comforted by finally being in the UK for two consecutive weeks having worked as hard as I can remember in the last few years. Cloning technology would have been very welcome in the Hilton house in 2018.

Exploring the possibilities - New Military civilians
The possibilities with these figures are enormous. With fifteen marching /advancing musketeers in three sets of five, each with four arm variants we offer 60 variants on the musketeers.
With the open handed models depending on the weapons used - scythes, short pikes, pole-arms, long pikes etc the options are there for a further 60 variants.
These are the first of a series of 'real' people in 'real'...
Megorsky: a review of the Russian Army in the GNW - An essential!
This book is an essential asset for anyone interested in the Great Northern War. I believe it will become the benchmark hobby book for the Petrine Army and although it does not mention figure gaming specifically, it focuses on detail and content continually sought by gamers.
Comparing it with publications of the past, the gulf between it and assumption, conjecture and the rehash of secondary or...

The Prussians are coming!

| Code P1 Prussian musketeers advancing |
Alas, I have not yet had time to paint any of the new Prussian infantry which we will soon release:
P01 Prussian musketeers marching
P02 Prussian Grenadiers marching
P03 Prussian Command marching
P04 Prussian musketeers firing
P05 Prussian musketeers loading
I'll hopefully get to that soon although travel is currently the rate limiting step. In the meantime Mr...
Synthesizing.. it's what I do

| We are attempting to collate disparate information sources into a central pool and challenge some dubious 'facts' |
The process of compiling our uniform and unit history guides is one I enjoy very much. I liken it to cold-case detection work or forensic accounting... that doesn't sound hugely exciting but in fact, the activity is absorbing and extremely rewarding.
I do not see myself as an author. In...

| Military coats and informal equipment |
Back where it all began. A passionate interest in the wars between 1685 and 1721. No idea that I would become the owner of a figure company. Inheriting someone else's idea of how things should be done and trying to work with that whilst always wanting to move things in a slightly different direction. Picking up on ideas started by someone else which needed...
