Who We Are
Magister Militum was founded in 2002 by Richard and Zoë Clewer. Our company manufactures and imports of some of the finest wargaming figures, scenery and accessories money can buy, with over 14,700 products on our website. We truly are Giants in a Land of Miniatures!

Who Does What?
Richard has a degree in War Studies and a lifelong passion for history of almost all eras matched by an enthusiasm for wargaming and board games to be reckoned with. He researches new ranges, makes the moulds, answers historical enquiries and is half of our double act at trade shows.

We have two fantastic spin doctors, a packaging princess and Zoë spends her time mainly maintaining and improving our website, including photography of newly painted figures - a never ending job!!

Where Are We Based?
We’re based in two industrial units near Salisbury in south west England. This is where we run the manufacturing and mail order part of the business, although you can see our ranges ‘in the flesh’ on the show circuit throughout the UK and parts of Europe.

Mission
We have always worked to the principle of providing top quality, inspiring wargaming products. We sell historically accurate ranges, strong in breadth and depth, backed with expert knowledge in a professional manner for you, our customers.

Our History
Magister Militum came into being in 2002, when we began by importing Hallmark Figures 1:6000 ships back into the UK from their new owners in the USA. We soon progressed to manufacturing with the purchase of Navigator Miniatures 28mm ancient ranges and shortly afterwards bought the Chariot Miniatures 15mm range which spans the Biblical era to the Napoleonic Wars and has been in business for over 30 years.

It was during this time that we began producing 10mm Crimean War figures of our own. After a chance conversation with Rick Priestly at a Society of Ancients day, we began a rapid expansion of our fledgling 10mm Ancients range in collaboration with Games Workshop Warmaster Ancients team. This huge range of 10mm figures includes the Medieval era, a massive Napoleonic and Revolutionary Wars range, WW1 and WW2 figures and indeed our scale model dinosaurs.

Next came an expansion into the world of buildings and scenery with JR Miniatures, Baueda and Miniature World Maker from the USA, Italy and Australia respectively.

With GHQ we knew this was a range that couldn’t be beaten on quality or detail, so we had to make this excellent range easily available to you on this side of the Atlantic. We stock over 10,000 packs with deliveries on average every six weeks or so, so you’re never far away from 1:285 heaven.

Latterly, we have begun stocking pleasantly challenging strategy board games, card games and other useful items like bases, paint and brushes and unusual dice. Not to mention our growing range of 10mm fantasy ranges!

We’re always spotting and stocking new products that may interest you, the latest being 15mm Polly Oliver, 28mm Lead Adventure Miniatures, Dark Sword Miniatures which includes the Game of Thrones figures as well as A Song of Ice and Fire, Ozmy Oddzial 3mm and Et Sans Resultat! rules and armies series.

Pithead Miniatures is only a small part time business but we consider that our products provide customers with unequalled choice and value in this scale.

Here are some of the reasons why:

Pithead produce the biggest range of 10mm models for WW2.

We have always been and will continue to be the most inexpensive maker of multipart models in this scale.

We produce models for the greatest range of combatant nations of any manufacturer in any scale.

Our models are scrupulously researched, for example our Sherman M4 A4s have longer track sets than our M4 A1´s and even our Churchill tanks have the correct number of tiny bogy wheels .

All vehicles and figures are made to a constant 1/150 scale

We consider crew figures for open topped armoured vehicles are essential, so we provide them.

Our models typically consist of five or more separate parts allowing a greater scope for detailing.

Even our most obscure national ranges are will be fully supported, we do not believe in making unfinished ranges as it disappoints our customers

Profits are not our primary motivation, who else would make Norwegian, Yugoslavian, Greek, Slovakian and free French ranges.

Whereas most companies consider an Opel blitz is sufficient to representation for German soft skin models we do not. We produce more soft skin models than any other company in any scale.

Pithead Miniatures are grateful for the collaboration of Carl Abelins software company Core Applications in the presentation of these pages.

Specializing in 10mm (1:150 scale) WWII miniatures and decals. The company currently has one of the widest ranges available in WWII, producing models for the following national armies: German, British, American, French, Italian, Belgian, Polish, Romanian, Hungarian, Russian, Greek, Yugoslavian, and Norwegian. Our comprehensive coverage of soft skin vehicles and artillery is unrivalled in any scale, and we are currently expanding at the rate of 100 new models a year
