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.

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.

Foundry Miniatures Ltd manufacture the world's largest range of 28mm metal miniatures for gamers, collectors, modellers and painters.
Clifford Ansell was looking for an interesting retirement job that would keep him busy. Cliff had spent much of his life working in the mining industry (apart from a few years away with the Royal Navy in the 1940s) he ended up a mining engineer and an expert on mine safety, ventilation and dust suppression. In the 60s Cliff moved on to a second career as a maths teacher: he taught maths at Bishop Dunn Comprehensive in Nottingham.
Cliff's son was, and is, my father: Bryan Ansell who had made toy soldiers with Skytrex, Tabletop, Asgard and Citadel/Games Workshop. He ended up owning GW and was responsible for games like Warhammer Fantasy Battle, 40K, Space Hulk etc.
When Cliff announced that he was going to take early retirement, Bryan suggested that Cliff might like to have a go at manufacturing toy soldiers himself.
Cliff was already experienced in dealing with both stubborn Lancashire miners and wilful, disorganised children: so it was clear that the strange mindset of the confused denizens of the toy soldier industry would be absolutely no problem for Cliff to handle.
As it happened: this was the time when Citadel was starting to change from metal based models to their new "slotta bases", and also ceasing to make historical models. Bryan was able to set Foundry up with a number of discontinued ranges - Barons Wars and Wars of the Roses Medievals, Samurai and the Vikings, Normans and Saxons, Woodland Indians, Huns and Elizabethans initially (these had all previously served as Human forces in Warhammer Fantasy Battle for some years). Further hundreds of other Citadel models followed. We still make those models at Foundry today, though we cannot manage to have them all in stock at the same time.
Michael and Alan Perry sculpted almost all these models and were keen to continue sculpting historical models for their own painting and wargaming purposes, so they continued to sculpt new Foundry ranges for Cliff for quite some years. Alistair Morrison and Dave Andrews both contributed ranges too.
So, Foundry was up and running very quickly indeed. Cliff first had premises in Sherwood, then moved to a larger unit in New Basford. The upstairs in New Basford was taken by Alistair and Trish Morrison: who sculpted the Marauder range for Games Workshop up there.
For a long period, Foundry was making many master moulds and production moulds for Games Workshop whenever they found themselves with more moulds than they could handle. Over the years many ex Games Workshop staff worked for Foundry; most notably John "Bones" Ellard, "Ep" Epworth, Andy Pattinson, Kevin Adams, Colin Dixon and Shane Hoyle.
In 1991 my father left Games Workshop and went off to Guernsey for a decade or so. In Guernsey he had three children, restored four old houses (he does that wherever he goes: not the children, just the houses) started Guernsey Foundry and made Seven Years War, Old West, Pirates and Darkest Africa models these were mostly sculpted by Mark Copplestone. When he came back to England in 2000 he brought his ranges and a couple of the Guernsey staff with him, started restoring a house near Newark and took over running Foundry from Cliff. He produced more Seven Years War, Darkest Africa and loads more Old West, then Street Violence, Vikings, Gladiators, various Romans, 16th century Swashbucklers, huge ranges of Greeks and Macedonians, Fantasy and various odds and ends.
In 2005 my father left Foundry and went back to gardening and restoring houses.
We only re-entered the world of toy soldiers because my cousin Neil Littlewood went to work at Foundry for a while, and it became apparent that there were serious problems that needed sorting out. In the end we stepped in, and the Ansell family are running the factory again.
We have moved Foundry into the huge old Carriage Court alongside our house in East Stoke.

Old Glory UK started trading in 1992 so that means we’ve been around for a good few years-selling quality models for wargamers and collectors at reasonable prices. During that time we have run up and down the gamut of history a couple of times and continue to import from Old Glory USA- our original parent company some of the finest wargames ranges available.

Whether you are a hardened veteran of the steaming jungles of Borneo, a renowned explorer fresh back from icy wastes of the high arctic, a grim visaged soldier of fortune used to the seedy alleys of Shanghai or a hard-boiled shamus with a bullet creased fedora; you've found the right spot.
Some mugs’ll tell ya that playing with toy soldiers is for kids. After you knock’em flat, grab your dice and a mit full of Pulp Figures and join in the Rugged Adventure! .45s blazing, you can push these little character charged castings around the game table; fighting mad scientists, criminal kingpins or freakish flunkies until Ma calls you in for supper. If its liver and onions again I'd recommend pretending you didn't hear and go discover a lost city instead.
My name is Bob Murch and I sculpt these mini mugs when I’m not reading old pulp magazines or mushing a dog sled up here in the northern wilds. Take a look at my site. There's something for everyone who lives for two-fisted action
