List of ‘old-school’ fantasy miniature companies : Updated 04/09/23

Here is an ongoing list of FANTASY miniature producers that I hope should be useful. Historical list to come!

http://www.armorcast.com – Based in the USA, featuring Lance & Laser Miniatures (with many ex-Grenadier and Metal Magic minis) DragonRune Miniatures, and many more. Well worth checking out! 

https://diehardminiatures.com – An excellent selection of fantasy and science fiction miniatures. The best way to describe them would be ‘premium quality old-school aesthetic’. The certainly give off the vibe of late 80s Citadel and old Metal Magic miniatures – but more modern in terms of quality and pose. 

http://www.cpmodelsminiatures.co.uk/index.htm – a very varied selection of weird and wonderful – their Night Terrors are especially cool. Every time I have ordered here – they have thrown in a free miniature! (Probably depends on size of order – I can’t guarantee this!).

http://www.midlamminiatures.co.uk – lovely selection of roleplaying-style adventurers and lots more.

http://www.rapierminiatures.co.uk – a wonderfully quirky selection of miniatures – witches, familiars…. and soon some miniatures sculpted by me!

http://www.hfminis.co.uk – Some of the best sculpts around – especially fantastic ‘sky-clad’ miniatures. Kev White is a master of human anatomy!

http://knightmareminiatures.com – The Pantheon of Chaos and Greenskin Wars guys – amazing sculpts in the style of the late 80s / early 90s…. but better. Sculpters include Kev Adams (doing some of his best work ever in my opinion), Diego Serrate and Tim Prow. Based in the Spain.

http://www.ntseshop.co.uk – Quirky, wonderful – a touch of Jim Henson… with a hint of fairy tale…

http://fenrisgames.com Loads to look at here including imported ‘Bronze Age Miniatures’ and ‘Darkling Games Miniatures’.
