The League of Augsburg

OK So we have a mix of great stuff on the run up to Christmas!

Some of it is available right now for shipping, some is to advance order as we'll have limited stocks for the first couple of months and we're giving our customers a chance to 'bags it' early.

Firstly let's introduce the new counter sets designed by the Harrison Brothers! The test sets we took to Historicon were a real hit and we sold...

Look!  On the horizon! A WARFARE MINIS Winter offer!

To bring some good cheer to the wargaming community during the winter months Warfare Miniatures are pleased to offer a 15% discount on any miniature orders over £60 between November 15th 2016 and January 15th 2017.



All orders over £100 will go post free anywhere in the world during that time and orders to North America and Australia or New Zealand...

At last, I have actually been home long enough to load something up on the web!


The first two sets are available in the Warfare shop with the third set available within two weeks. We will be selling them at CRISIS this weekend!

Come and see them painted on the table!

Forwards! Get that guy from Warfare Miniatures!

When I decided to take full ownership of Warfare Miniatures in 2011 I had little idea what lay ahead. I never possessed an intention to get involved in the engine room of wargaming much preferring the less complicated view from the upper decks as semi-passenger and idle commentator.

The very first code WLOA1 which happens to be our best seller

Below...

Swedish Command Marching S11

Well, yes the models have been available for 18 months and maybe they have not sold as fast as other codes because I never got round to painting them and putting these nice versions in the shop!

Senior officer - possibly the colonel

No nonsense Sergeant

Elegant Drummer

Open handed Colour bearer

The second colour bearer

Both are for use with marching battalions with code S12...

WLOA58 Mounted dragoons in hats

Here is a detailed overview of Warfare Miniatures' new mounted dragoon code of three troopers. The models are sculpted with hats.

This relaxed and natural pose is a nice change

Horse size works very well

The new horses are really well proportioned

The horses are of a size representing the inferior mounts of dragoons. There are four horse variants and three of the four...

The fact that I am asking that question (of myself) implies that play testing sends you slightly bonkers which is, on reflection, a possibility.



It all starts when you actually publish a set of rules! You think you have play tested them to death and then people begin to play them and a whole new raft of questions appear that you realize should have thought of yourself!

Having spent about 21 hours...

WLOA60 Mounted dragoon Command in hats

The first mounted dragoon command code features models in hats. Included are an officer, a guidon bearer and a drummer.

I have added a field sign to their hats and painted them as Colonel Albert...

We have two sets of Russians sculpted with more to follow. We have chosen not to show the traditional dragoon pose with musket resting on calf. Our muskets will be attachable to the trooper together with the scabbard.

I noticed a comment on TMP regarding the horse sizes. This is an interesting case of wargamers preconditioning their own expectations and extrapolating out. The horses we have chosen...

I am so excited about these and the fact that we'll have them in production very soon. We have nine new troopers (soon to be 12) plus six new command plus 5 new horses.



Clib has pulled out all the stops with these and the preview shots here will be expanded with more detailed reviews of each code.

So for now here they are:

BLB squadron size - six models

Well these chaps have taken a long time to appear but having had a chance to paint one each of the first six models and four new horse types I am hugely pleased with what we are about to release and believe them to be we worth the wait.

Dragoon horses - smaller than standard cavalry mounts

Featured here are three Command and three dragoon models in hats which could be...
