Battleline Miniatures products include 15mm historical miniature ranges; an extensive 25mm Medieval miniature range; and a less extensive 28mm range of Mongols and Samurai.
"Battleline Miniatures" the new name of the business previously called "Wildly Inspired Miniatures". Based in Auckland, New Zealand. As new owners we decided to give the business a new name and create a new website and online store.
It's been quite a bit of work getting this website ready. I've never done anything like this before and learning html was interesting! Anyway I hope you like the website, I'll definitely be adding more and better product photos over time, including photos of painted miniatures. Sorry there isn't a photo for every product yet, but there is nearly a 1000 miniatures in total! Your feedback is welcome and I'll take constructive criticism so let me have it!

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!

Designing and manufacturing miniature wargaming figures and equipments. We have been mail ordering miniatures around the world for over 45 years.
Museum Miniatures (QT Models) have been around for over 45 years in one way or another. We started life as a Model Shop in Bridlington a coastal resort in Yorkshire, England during the early 70s. We started selling wargaming figures and as the hobby became more and more popular we started designing and casting a few unobtainable miniatures for our local wargamers. Things they couldn't get hold of elsewhere.
In 45 years of manufacturing wargaming miniatures we have designed and cast 300th scale Buildings, sci-fi spacecraft. 25mm and 15mm wargaming figures. We now concentrate mainly on 15mm figures and equipment and have an extensive range from the Mycenaean Greeks up to American Civil War and beyond. We are primarily a mail order company selling directly to wargamers all over the world. Our customers order from as near as England, France, Holland or as far away as New Zealand and South Africa. We moved in 1998 to our present address, 28 Long Lane, Driffield, Yorkshire YO25 5HF.

Outpost Wargame Services are purveyors of Quality goods for Wargamers at affordable prices.
PartnersMarilyn (long suffering wife of Jeff) the buxom lady you usually see at shows, who runs the casting operation, takes your orders and tries to keep you happy, prints and binds the books and tells us all off (usually me!).
Jeff (the worrier) the guy you usually see at the shows, publishes the books, does the admin, did this site and doesn't have enough time to do all the other things he wants to do!
The Designers
Pete Foggin (the hippy) also an associate, designed all our 15mm figures, ships and the new 25mm Ancients, occasionally helps at the shows
Peter Rogerson (the Scottish Manxman) full time sculptor, designed our new Mexican revolution range and Border Reiver ranges, will do a whole lot more (when we can afford them!), has his own 'toy soldier' ranges. He comes highly recommended and is very reliable - can be contacted on 01624-816667 (Isle of Man)
Martin Baker full-time sculptor did our Highwaymen a long time ago(or so it seems!) currently working on our new range of 28mm Aztecs my, how his skills have developed!
The Authors
Tom Nutt (ex-serviceman, ex-bodyguard and now avid wargamer) Wrote our French & Indian Wars book and the three volumes for the Franco-Prussian, and has completed three others which we will eventually get published (honest!).
Dan Mersey (sometime Archeologist, another wargamer - when he gets the chance) Wrote Glutter of Ravens(our 'best seller') and the Medieval Burmese books, must have done him some good too he is now an editor for Brassey's Books!
Daniel Merseys Author of: Arthur: King of the Britons (Summersdale, 2004): From Celtic Hero to Cinema Icon Legendary Warriors (Chrysalis, 2002): Arthur, Beowulf, William Wallace, and more Glutter of Ravens (Outpost, 1998): Warfare in the Age of Arthur AD 400-700
The Customers
Yes, that's you! Our philosophy has been to try and produce the ranges that the 'big boys' ignore but that the wargamers would actually like to see. We have a couple of local wargame clubs which help us choose them, but we value all customer information. If you would like to see specific ranges produced - contact us! We cannot promise to produce everything - after all, we have to believe we will see a return on the investment. But if enough people ask (don't forget it can take up to six months to create even a relatively small range by the time it has been thoroughly researched)
We can offer 'club or group' funded ranges, where a range could be sponsored by a wargame club or group - the costs and arrangements would depend on the size of the range, but the idea would be to split the cost of producing the range and the figures would be produced freely for the sponsors (to the value of the original amount sponsored - at a discount). Contact us if you are interested.
