The League of Augsburg

This code is really beautifully sculpted. Interesting poses, great equipment, characterful and quite varied faces, it was a complete joy to paint

PIKEMEN STANDING in tricorne

This code is full of character in both poses and the faces of the models. They are in the regulation equipment for Swedish pikemen of the period including the wearing of gauntlets.



The poses are all very natural and four different dollies have been used to create the variation. Of course many may say the Swedes never stood around for long and should perhaps not be...

The Swedish disdain for frippery is evident not only in these sculpts but in the way I have chosen to paint them. I have used dark and sombre blue with the exception of the drummer who shows a little flash of colour in his uniform.



This code consists of 3 officers/ensigns with the senior of the three having a wig whilst the other two sport their own hair, a sergeant and a drummer.



We now have three...

This code is the most dynamic so far. The sculpts are in my opinion right at the apex of  wargaming figure design. The pack consists of a senior officer, an ensign, a junior officer, a sergeant and a drummer. This is the standard mix in Warfare Miniatures command packs.




The Sergeant has the look of a real veteran about him. Calling to has men and perhaps encouraging or chiding them. He is open...

I love this code! This is the default uniform of Swedish troops of the period. Tricorned, hair-bagged with the addition of the calfskin campaign haversack. The movement that Clibinarium has managed to inject into these models is quite remarkable.



Four dollies were used to create the dynamic poses available. All pikemen have gauntlets. The uniform colours I used to paint these models are as close to...

PIKEMEN STANDING in karpus

These chaps have oodles of character. The body poses suggest the weight of their heavy pikes and the magnitude of the stress about to face men going into battle.




We decided to break from the standard convention of depicting the ubiquitous karpus and use a style seen in Oberg & Goransson's KAROLINER. This karpus style has a front 'trim' rather in the fashion of a western...

PIKEMEN - CHARGING in karpus

This code is completed in a very plain style of karpus. The karpus was available in numerous styles and cuts during the period of the GNW. A flick through Aberg & Goransson's KAROLINER will show in the numerous pencil sketches the huge variety of manufacture and wearing styles.


This code is extremely animated and utilizes several dolly poses to create a high degree of...

Clibinarium - It may have seemed for quite some time now that all has been quiet on the Warfare Miniatures front, without news of new releases or development. But things have been progressing steadily under the radar on the first part of our new venture into the Great Northern War; the army of Charles XII.

Over the Christmas period a lot of work went into the preparation of doll figures, indeed I...
