Warfare, Quindia and Wordtwister: Here is the news 2018

Our most commercially successful SALUTE for four years

2018 has been a busy year for us so far. The big job was getting 'Billy Bunter's Postal Order' to finally arrive, aka The War of Three Kings ( Beneath the Lily Banners 3rd Edition). The book has been very well received and importantly for our continuing input to the hobby, commercially successful already.

Unlike Bunter's PO.. WTK did finally...

Occasionally it's time for some unashamed picture overdrive without the commentary. Here are some nice shots from the Great Northern War range which hopefully will inspire some of you to the brush.

Building up the Panzer Division: Imperial Cuirassiers




Why would you not want to build the army that consistently contributed to the defence of Christian Europe and to facing down Christian Europe's most powerful Catholic monarch?




The Austrians/Habsburgs/Holy Roman Empire/Imperialist Army is the Janus of continental Europe - looking both South and North(west) at once.




For some reasons I always think the Austrians don't get a fair kick at the ball....

I've been waiting to tell you this for a long time...

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...

A bad day to get man flu... BLB 3 hits the streets

this is a productive evening at the Warfare Office.... ah, a job well done - all in the out tray for this week

Yup, I blame the Italians. I felt the tickle in a meeting in Milan on Tuesday morning and caught a look from my colleague - you ok?

From chaos comes order - Mrs H hard at work on the pre orders - at this rate there will be none left!

By Tuesday night back in Brum I knew I was for it. The...

The War of Three Kings - It's alive!




Yup, it now actually exists beyond a computer screen. These pictures came from the printer in Cambridge today. Storm Emma permitting, it will be in Scotland by the back end of next week and pre orders will go out from the 10th - 13th. 




We have had a huge response to getting them all out will involve all of the little Hilton Elves being very busy.




A glass of fizz tonight and onwards!

Limbers for Light Guns

Clarence Harrison - With everything else going on around here. I've got a pre-release BLB3 game planned for some friends in early March and I'm scrambling to gather together stuff I need for the scenario. It's stuff I've wanted anyway (like the unit of All Pike painted earlier this month), but the desire to put on a good show is a great motivator to get the lead out!

The scenario has reserve units...

Irish Militia

Clarence Harrison- One of the new things in Beneath the Lily Banners: The War of Three Kings, is the ability to model different pike to shot ratios on the tabletop. I'm running a game for some friends early next month and I had everything I needed for the scenario except a unit of All Pike. It's been on my 'to do' list for a while to paint a brigade of non-uniformed troops to use for the early war...

The Great German Grand Prix 1694 - LoA TACTICA 2018



During the Nine Years War 1688-1697 many German speaking states fought as part of the Grand Alliance against Louis XIV’s mighty France. Although German troops fought in Flanders they also served in the Rhine lands and elsewhere.

Rough shot of how the GREAT RACE will look


Our game is set near the Rhine. The army of the Grand Alliance wants to capture a heavily protected French camp lying at the end...
