The League of Augsburg

These chaps have been languishing on my painting table for some time. Finished but un-photographed. They are the first completed squadron of a large Horse Grenadier Regiment for a Petrine Russian Army.

The Horse Grenadiers were grenadier companies drawn from dragoon regiments and consolidated into discrete regiments. New Grenadier companies were recruited as back fill in the existing dragoon...

Did you just double take? Yup, me too! Although cossacks have been on our agenda in planning discussions for some time we had never actually committed to inserting them in the production schedule until I received a mail from Clib to say - take a look at these!



The first two sets of Cossacks sculpted in very realistic poses and with great character. The fact that they are finished means that we can...

We will be releasing these probably before Christmas. They are quite outstanding sculpts.




Both are designed for generic use with Janissary or non Janissary infantry. Several can be painted as senior officers. The dress styles cover a wide span of time and will look in keeping with Tufeckci, Sekban and Irregulars.



Some will fit well with Janissaries.



This is a sneak preview. They are currently being...

We are delighted to announce that the next six codes of Ottoman Turks are now available in the online shop: Hooray!

Are we allowed to call it Christmas anymore or is that banned? Yule? End of the Year Holiday? Non religious away-from the workplace downtime interval?



Anyway, to make it simple, Warfare Miniatures is offering every order made between December 2 2018 and January 10 2019 over the value of £40 post free anywhere in the world


 Also, I will include a random pack of 5 infantry models FREE in every order-...

Clarence has been very busy completing a commission for a customer which we are now in a position to put on general release.




The compliment our existing Prussian and Danish flags for the WSS/GNW period. The Prussian designs are from 1710 onward. Some flags are conjectural but most have drawn on existing sources for detail.




We now have five sheets of Prussian infantry flags, two of cuirassiers and...

Saxon skirmishers engage the Janissaries

The key drama temporarily overshadowed a very successful and enjoyable CRISIS 2018. The show was great on several fronts. Trade was the best for about three years, the Ottomans were very well received and sold to expectation, there were some nice games, I bought something big and we were busy chatting to friends and visitors all day.

Danes advance to capture...

We had such a great show.. what could go wrong?

I do not usually resort to expletives in my blog contributions but today is an exception. Having completed a very successful and enjoyable CRISIS 2018 in Antwerp, Toggy and I had planned an early start on Sunday - breakfast at 0830, on the road for 0900 - Ramillies by 1015, Neerwinden by 1400.
Having checked out at 0900 I reached the car and fumbled in...

We are delighted to announce the release of three Janissary Battalion packs each containing 20 models;

Nice, but it's not getting those Ottomans painted!

Being on the road pretty continuously gets in the way of serious stuff like painting wee soldiers, making terrain and binge watching old detective shows as is my want.

Gaming inspiration where you can find it! See the Portsmouth 2mm game later. Any takers for this harbour?

Whilst travelling I find myself restricted to surfing wargaming sites and...

A very large Malplaquet game I organized and ran about 10 years ago - spots the Minifigs!

The War of the Spanish Succession (WSS) may appear to have been some sort of enormous elephant in the room for Warfare Miniatures but not so. Rather than being a conflict which I have no interest in, the Nine Years War is a conflict when has voraciously consumed my interest leaving little time for anything...
