1st Corps is owned by Brothers Simon and Michael Curtis. We have been wargaming and collecting for over 20 years and are fascinated by all periods.

Our aim is to offer products of the highest quality, detail and authenticity that are also great value and backed up by fast and friendly customer service.

Every figure comes complete with all the weapons, shields etc it needs.

Variation We try to put as much of it in our packs as possible our figure packs contain upto 8 different figures.

Command packs and standard packs all contain an even number of figures, no more annoying missing or left over figures.

We cast all our products here in Yorkshire in lead free pewter.

We live in Snaith, a small rural market town located 20 miles south of York in the north of England.

Simon- is the full time member of the team. He does the mold making, casting, dispatch and is responsible for some of the figures you can see on this site. . When not busy with that lot he likes going to the cinema, having a pint and game of darts down at the local hostelry. He also enjoys being taken for a walk by his golden retrievers, Rebel and Cadet

Michael- is also responsible for many of the painted figures on the site as well as product planning and dispatching orders. Mick swears he has no time for anything else! But we know he likes to travel and have a beer down the local hostelry playing darts, and has even been seen down the local gym the next day trying to make amends!

Blitzkrieg Miniatures are producers of 3d Printed, 1/56 scale, 1/48 scale, 1/72 and 15mm scale tanks for the war gaming community.

Empress Miniatures was established in 2008, originally by two 'war-games widows' of two wargaming husbands. Although the Empress team is still the same things have moved on significantly and the menfolk are a lot more involved these days.

One thing that has not changed is our company policy to research, design, develop and sell the highest quality products that we can. This is across all of our ranges of figures, vehicles and terrain as well as products that we sell on behalf of other companies.

Starting with our first range, The 1879 Zulu War, we now have large and developing ranges covering the Spanish Civil War, Jazz Age Imperialism of the Inter War years, English Civil War, Maori Wars, Abyssinia, WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Indian Mutiny and Ultra Modern. Added to these are ranges that we carry for other companies that compliment our own ranges. All of our ranges get frequently added to and it is our company plan to never ever 'finish' a range but rather constantly add to our lines to expand and refresh them.

In our very busy history we are proud to have developed an excellent reputation for quality and Customer Service. Our products are made to the very highest quality to ensure that you the customer get the best.

Pop by our internet shop and have a look.

Regards,

The Empress Miniatures Team
