Creativity is our driving force. Transforming ideas into models, sculptures, paintings and drawings is what makes us happy. If we can help and encourage others to do the same it makes us even happier.
Our main aim is to make that process simpler for anyone who wants to make cool looking scenery for their tabletop,  reducing the time consuming, fiddly and repetitive tasks often associated with building from scratch. The amount of time required to make your own scenery and terrain can seem off-putting, especially these days, when 'free time' is a precious commodity. With our scenery building materials and a healthy dose of imagination fantastic looking scenery should be possible for anyone.
We hope you will feel inspired, enthused and excited with a brain on fire with ideas and fingers itching to cut, glue and paint your own amazing creations into reality.

Creators of Blood and Plunder. A historical tabletop game of high stakes buccaneering on the Spanish Main

My interest in miniature figures started way back when I was around 8 years old. I was introduced to Dungeons and Dragons and became fascinated by the figures, made by such manufacturers as Ral Partha which at the time I painted up really badly but fell in love with it. At the same sort of time I also became interested in war gaming – particularly WW2 which has been my passion ever since, becoming an avid watcher of the old classic war films and buying the comics of the time such as Warlord, Battle etc (I still have some of the annuals). Using what I’ve learnt over the years and now with the wealth of resources available both online and in picture form I decided to produce my own range of 28mm wargames figures, starting with German Fallschrimjägers. I felt that a lot of the white metal sculpts out there were very generic and I wanted to offer a premium product that is different to what is currently available. I looked into how I could create a range using the best sculptors and casters within the UK and luckily found Griffin Moulds. I believe that this new range of figures is the best out there and I hope you will see this too!

Flashpoint Miniatures is an Australian wargames and miniatures manufacturing company located in the jungle covered mountains of Northern rivers NSW. We specialise in 15mm scale military figurines and terrain.

We specialise in 15mm scale military figures and terrain.

Flashpoint Miniatures has established the foundation of a constantly evolving range of 15mm miniatures and accessories with a focus on the ‘Vietnam’ War and Ultra-Modern ‘small wars’ conflicts.

We are first and foremost wargamers, with a long collective experience in wargaming, so aim to produce and source good looking , robustly made , best quality, value-for-money wargaming miniatures and accessories that we would want to (and do) use ourselves.

We acquired Flashpoint miniatures in late 2012 when the previous owners of the range had sorta let the range languish, and were not really getting the best out of what we thought were a fantastic range of 15mm Vietnam war miniatures.

Our wargaming interest is in 15mm Vietnam War COIN wargaming (and Ultra Modern period ‘small wars’) and has been since the first decent 15mm Vietnam Wargaming figures appeared in the mid 1990’s .

Long before this we wargamed slightly smaller skirmishes with plastic 20mm figures ; but 15mm allows for larger battles while still retaining some ‘personality’ that 6mm figures can’t offer.

We have played many of the Vietnam war tabletop rules on offer since the 80’s, and enjoy the unique challenge of Vietnam period wargaming for it’s tactical complexity (like lots of hidden movement and concealment) , ‘cold war’ period taste ( like pre satellite era technology, ‘can do’ attitude, and ‘must do’ ideology ) and exotic local flavour ( numbah one ! )

The Future of Flashpoint Miniatures. depends on you !The Flashpoint miniatures design team is developing our products and thinking of new ways to enhance what we offer, often in the light of tabletop experience or research.

We are dedicated to ensuring that our product ranges are kept fresh and are constantly bolstered with new additions to enhance our customers’ tactical disposition , quality satisfaction and inner happiness.

Our customers are our biggest source of inspiration, we welcome feedback as a means of determining our future projects and look to ensure that the products we do produce are good looking , robustly made , best quality, value-for-money wargaming miniatures and accessories, and address areas and subjects that may have been previously neglected or simply not addressed yet.

Flashpoint Miniatures takes pride in the quality of our product.

“We” are a small cottage industry , a small group of wargamers , modellers , designers, innovative thinkers, skilled artisans, production technicians, and office gurus.

We are committed to providing the player with exciting and constant releases, and the consumer with a level of customer service second to none.

Our metal figures are made from a top quality pewter metal which makes small pieces, like the ends of weapons, much stronger. It also provides sharp crisp edges on models which makes painting a breeze and provides great edges that makes dry brushing effective.

Our vehicles are a combination of high quality polyurethane resin and metal components. This combination allows us to provide tough and light-weight high-detailed vehicles with a choice of add-on combinations. We have had unsolicited praise from customers for the degree of detail and simplicity of our M113 range of models, and the design innovation of our LVTP5 and LVTH6 models.

We also supply plastic kit helicopters which are also of high detail and go together quickly and easily, and a developing range of terrain and accessory items adding even more detail to your wargaming table.

Forged in Battle manufactures of miniatures for wargamers.
Our “Battle Ready System” cuts the time from opening the box to playing your first game down to the bare minimum. Resin bodies - All vehicle hulls/bodies plus wheels and/or tracks are cast on a base in a single resin piece. This eliminates many of the problems of traditional white metal kits. - squashing, - tapering, - ovalisation, - mould lines, - flash and - poor fit of parts. We believe our models are the most accurate and best proportioned on the market.

Forged in Battle made for War! Or at least Wargaming. Established in 2007 Forged in Battle (FiB) grew steadily, becoming a major supplier of 15mm WWII tanks and miniatures.

In 2014 we took FiB to Kickstarter, the crowd funding website. This is where we experienced a massive explosion in the growth of the company. Our War & Empire range grew from six armies, to over twenty. Throughout the course of a year we designed, sculpted, moulded and manufactured over half a million miniatures!
