September rather got away from us and unfortunately we did not manage to get any new releases out – but fear not! October is now upon us and today we have the first of our next batch. This time around it’s a full village suitable for the European Low Countries.
In the set we have 30 buildings (including 18 different house variants), a cafe, post office, windmill, farmhouse ruined buildings and more!
A few of our favourites are shown below, but the whole range can be seen here.
Following on from last weeks Pacific Theatre releases for the Japanese and US forces, we have moved to a drastically different climate – North Africa!
The various British forces of the Africa campaign have been trundling around our webstore for a few years with no one to fight but the pesky Italians. However, that all changes with our latest release!
Featuring 44 new units, the Afrika Korps has come to the aid of the beleaguered Italians. The new DAK models cover a huge range of units from HQ teams to tanks to infantry squads to artillery.
A few of our favourites are shown below, but the whole range can be seen here.

Last week we released a single model – Monty’s Caravan. This is a special release as it is part of a collaboration between MarDav, Fylde Armouries and Footsore Miniatures to raise fund for Finley’s Touch (https://finleystouch.org.uk/), a UK based children’s cancer charity.
The model will be available for the next three weeks and all profits will be donated to the charity so please share this far and wide and help support this very good cause.
Monty’s caravan is available from 20mm – 54mm and the page includes a link to the 28mm Monty on Footsore’s website.
Once again it’s been a while since our last update as we have been rushed off our feet with so many different projects and ideas.
Firstly, the Dunwick Kickstarter was massively successful and ended up raising a whopping £6500! This far exceeded our expectations and right up to the morning it ended, I was having to come up with new ideas for stretch goals. This means that once fulfilment is complete and the range is released on the webstore, there will be numerous new buildings including a tram station, school, church, railway station and many more in addition to Home Guard and ARP figures, vehicles and even Home Guard artillery. It’s just been a crazy busy time since it ended trying to get everything sorted and out.
Secondly, we are slowly expanding our range from just WWII to encompassing other eras as well as sci-fi and fantasy models. This has begun with the release of some awesome retro fantasy and sci-fi terrain by the incredible Dr Spork. If you played any games in the 90s by a certain famous games company, you are sure to recognise some of these classic pieces.
Lastly, we have continued with our WWII releases, with last week seeing the introduction of the Soviet OB-3 armoured train and this week rounding out our Atlantik Wall range with beach obstacles, defensive walls, multiple bunkers and even furniture!
More to come next week!
After some frantic work this week, our next KIckstarter is now live!
The campaign – “Dunwick – A 1940s British town”- features over 20 original buildings along with roads, scatter pieces (lampposts, telephone boxes etc) as well as hoard of wartime features such as an ARP post, various above ground air raid shelters, defended walls, roadblocks, static water tanks and more!
Available in 20mm and 28mm as well as the digital files, there should be something for everyone!

It’s been a while since our last update – we’ve just been so busy that we had to take a break from something!
However, we have been hard at work in the background for the last couple of months with various projects.
Firstly, working has been steadily progressing on the designs for our 1940s British Town Kickstarter, which goes live at the start of March so go an register you interest on the pre-launch page. Additions include new houses, plans for a new police station, extra wartime scatter pieces and more.
Earlier this month we released our first new models of 2026 – British AFVs. These included both updates to existing models (the Matilda II and Indian Pattern Armoured Carrier) as well as new additions covering the M14 Halftrack, T18 Boarhound, Tetrarch, Bishop, Matilda I, M4 Sherman III and the Comet.
This week saw the release of a totally new range – a German armoured train. Featuring a gun car, artilleriewagen, command car, flak cars and a flatbed in addition to an armoured locomotive, it’s perfect for scenery, an objective or additional firepower!
We’ve also pinned down our first trade shows of the year and so far we will be present at:
14th March – Border Reiver Wargames Show – Washington
20th June – Phalanx Show – St Helens
1st August – Claymore Show – Edinburgh
19th September – Border Reiver Wargames Show – Washington – TBC
29th November – Battleground Show – Middlesborough – TBC
As you can see, it’s been a busy start to the year and we are planning continuing that way!
Suddenly it’s the end of November – Christmas is less than a month away* and it’s time for our final November release!
This time the French are getting some love, with a whole host of various trucks and tows being added to their range.
From the little Citreon P17 up to the mighty and awesome looking tracked Latil TAR, and including Laffly S20 & S25 variants such as a radio truck, tanker and artillery tractor, we are sure that any French collectors will find something to love in the list.
In all, we’ve added an additional 10 vehicles and multiple variants to the range, so check it out now!
*FYI – the last date for ordering for guaranteed shipping before Christmas is 11th December
As promised (twice!) – here are some lovely big bunkers covering all your Atlantik Wall needs!
From the R667 Kleinschartenstand casemate (complete with 5cm KwK 39) to the 155mm 418(f) equipped open pit emplacement, andincluding a multitude of casemates designed for everything from 7.5cm anti-tank guns to 10.5cm and 155mm howitzers, the Germans have something to counter anything the Allies can throw at them. Observation and fire control bunkers such as the M262, R636a and R697 will help ensure you artillery is accurate and deadly.
However, not all of the Atlantik Wall was just about guns, and with a range of additional support buildings including the R661 field hospital, R502a and R622 squad shelters, your troops will be well rested when manning the big guns!
In total, 19 new pieces have been added to the German defensive line and this is only the beginning – later in the month we are planning to add a further 20 smaller defensive structures including a Pantherturm, mortar pit, various tobruks, ammo stores, MG nests and more!
