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!

Bicorne Miniatures are suppliers of quality metal miniatures for the discerning wargamer and collector. Incorporating the old Connoisseur and FLM figures.
The history of Bicorne miniatures dates back to the early 1980's when it was originally owned by Frank Hinchclife. It subsequently passed ownership a few times through people such as Robert Fort and Brian Holland. Andrew Barrett bought the company in November 1999. He also brought together a number of companies such as Firing Line and Connoisseur amalgamating them into one company bringing them back to the United Kingdom.
Andrew developed a few new ranges such as the English Civil War 28mm which were some if not the best figures on the market and acclaimed by those who made reviews in the wargame world. Behind the scenes he and friend Simon over the last three years sorted and developed many other new additions to the collection which were never made available to the public.
Andrew has now sold the business to myself and remains along with Simon my very good friend. Rest assured it is my intention to carry on the legacy of Bicorne Miniatures and produce a number of new ranges to add to those already in existence. Quality and value for money will remain the priorities in the production process. Bicorne Miniatures is open for business as usual via the website. Should you have any questions or even possible suggestions of what you as a customer would like to see Bicorne Miniatures achieve then please feel free to contact us via the website.
I look forward to the custodianship of this outstanding collection and enhancing it over time. At the same time remembering it is only a business because you the customer make it possible. So watch this space and I will bring out new figures and ranges as fast as possible.
