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!

Check out when we are next in your area by clicking on our Trade Show link.

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.

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.
