The League of Augsburg

They've been a long time coming. They were manufactured at the same time as the various sets of siege gear but I just didn't get round to releasing them as other items jumped the queue. We also had lots of difficulties finding a resin manufacturer and in fact the wagons would not have reach the market any time soon had not Adrian's Walls come to the rescue!


Having sat on the masters for over a year...

Warfare Miniatures painted by the indomitable Barry Hilton ...unless he is playing against Dave O'Brien of course!

Clarence Harrison - I had meant for this to be the 100th post, but sometimes the blog has a life of it's own and before I knew it we were at 137! The first post was only six months ago (June 3, 2013) and in that short amount of time we have seen the League of Augsburg blog grow into a...

To kick start the year Warfare Miniatures are offering a free mounted figure with orders to the value of £50.00 or over (figures only and ex postage). The figure is a senior officer in dashing pose. He will never be commercially released as part of the range and will only be available through occasional special offers.

More pics available here!

After January he will be available through February...

Donnybrook has finally gone up for pre order today. Shipping should be before 31 January. The following text appears with the special offer price (£24.50) in the shop.

Donnybrook is a fast and fun skirmish game which is easy to pick up and full of period flavour. The book is 110 pages of rich colour with 186 beautiful photographs, maps, original artwork, seven scenarios, example game in comic strip...

Clarence Harrison - The January issue of Wargames Illustrated just hit the stands (or you can now get a digital copy) and it features the most in depth look yet at Donnybrook. Barry and I layout many of the basics of the rules and give a look into the reasons behind some of them. There is also an overview of what else is contained in the book. Finally you can read about how I tricked Mr Hilton...

Clarence Harrison - Donnybrook will be sent to the printer in a few days and will be available for pre-order very soon (watch this space). It has taken a year of work that I have thoroughly enjoyed. There is a full feature next month in Wargames Illustrated, but our loyal readers get a sneak peek here!
Donnybrook is a fast paced skirmish game designed to cover conflicts across the globe from 1660...

A short post in response to the inevitable questions now arising about range compatibility between Warfare Miniatures new Great Northern War figures and existing offerings in the market. I took this quick shot to illustrate...

Here are all of the test sculpts brought together in a colourful montage of what is to come. This experimental phase was undertaken to give us a feel for the best way to go forward.

Barry Hilton - This part of the series details less conventional(from a wargames manufacturing perspective) Russian troop types from the Great Northern War. First up is in my opinion the most spectacular sculpt of the 10 protos.

#4 RUSSIAN OFFICER in kaftan
The uniform is very ornate and the colours I have chosen are very dramatic with high contrast not just in the colour tones but against each...

Barry Hilton - I painted the five Swedish figures first as my wargaming leanings are towards the Swedes. I enjoyed that very much but realized that as I got into doing the 5 Russian models in two sittings that I was enjoying them even more!

The poses are interesting and the uniforms are quite different to those of their opponents. Clibinarium had pretty much free rein to sculpt what he wanted in...
