FireForge Miniatures

FireForge is the first company to be added to this site that is based in Italy. They specialise in Medieval miniatures, specifically the Crusades (Holy Land and Baltic!) and associated military orders.

They very quickly established a reputation of producing high quality, visually stunning figures and from experience they are a joy to build and paint. As with many other European based companies they utilise the moulding skills of Renedera.

FireForge - 28mm Foot Sergeants

Another release from FireForge Miniatures in their 'Deus Vult' range, allowing you to build 48 foot sergeants - as either crossbowmen, swordsmen or spearmen.

I guess to be absolutely accurate each frame contains the parts to make 8 figures, as with may figures, the torso and body come as one casting to which can be added heads and arms, etc. Each frame contains 10 assorted heads, 6 arms with spears, 4 arms with crossbows and six arms with assorted swords, maces and cudgels etc. There are 8 assorted shields per frame as will, all in all the potential for creating a huge variety of figures.

Each box contains 6 identical frames, spear staffs can be used to create a Standard Bearer but there are no parts to make a musician or an officer figure (given that these are Sergeants - I guess that's logical!).

Again a very nice boxed set from FireForge.

FireForge - 28mm Teutonic Knights


First release from FireForge Miniatures, allowing you to build 12 mounted Teutonic Knights.

Each box contains three identical frames, each allowing you to build 4 knights, see below left.. Additionally the box contains 6 frames, each allowing you to build 2 horses upon which to mount the knights, see below right.

Each knight is moulded with torso and legs, to which can be added a variety of arms, heads and thus a wide range of poses can be created. Each knight is also provided with the option of a cloak, these look a bit 'clunky' before adding to the figure but once everything is painted, they look fine.

The selection of helms & shields provided for the knights is impressive and with a little knife work each figure can have a really unique appearance. Additionally a selection of standards, icons and lance pennants are provided along with a horn to allow you to create a musician in the ranks.

Overall the figures have a wonderful sense of movement and are a joy to assemble and paint.

More to come...
