More sterling British soldiers to add to your army this week – we’ve just received these lovely sculpts from Empress Miniatures. These are the famous redcoats who marched all over Africa to enforce the Pax Britannica. They were tough soldiers who when well-supplied could march over the worst terrain that they could experience and still…
Newly arrived from Empress Miniatures are these lovely mounted Natal Caribineers. The Natal Carbineers were drawn from some of the more established, or better off, Natal families and were considered to be a somewhat elite unit. They were only assembled in times of trouble and are therefore not regulars. Despite their part-time status they were…
Good lord – is there no end to the Anglo-Zulu War releases? Happily not, as we bring you these fabulous Natal Mounted Police models by Empress Miniatures! This was a mounted Constabulary force that policed Southern Africa, ensuring the safety of the Colonial settlers and their dependants. They were hard riding men who were well…
Our Roman Medicus vignette went down so well we’ve decided to make one for our Pike & Shotte range too! It’ll be 2-3 weeks before it’s ready for sale but in the meantime have a gander at Wojtek’s masters… If you like this gory little scene you’ll love these as well – our Roman Medicus…

We’ve also had many of the vehicles and miniatures painted – it would be rude not to give them the same treatment as the rest of the Bolt Action range after all! All the vehicles have been painted by Bruce Murray, the…
Well, not quite wooden Shermans – Sherman tanks with wooden armour to be correct. During the campaign in the Pacific the US forces were known to apply wooden armour to the sides of their Shermans. There are two schools of thought as to why the US forces would apply wooden planks to their Shermans’ hulls….
The Red Army sees the welcome return of not one but three tank destroyers this week – the Su-85, Su-100 and Su-122M. These armoured fighting vehicles have been heavily remastered and have loads more detail than the previous incarnations. The SU-85 self-propelled gun based itself on the proven T34 chassis which had stood the Red…
As with all of our Bolt Action armies we’re now making the models from our Soviet range available individually. Take a look at what is now available and build your army to suit your personal tastes!
One of our most popular Roman sets are the Praetorian Guard. We’ve now received painted versions of the cavalry so here they are in all their glory! Praetorian Cavalry Resplendent in their cloaks and Attic helmets, the Praetorian cavalry cut a dashing figures on the tabletop. It wasn’t all looks though – they were capable…
With our acquisition of Immortal Miniatures recently we’ve spent some time reorganising the range for rerelease. The first to be reborn under our Hail Caesar range are the plastic Spartans. Have a look at what are arguably the most famous fighting men down the ages as they are available right now in our web store….
