WIGLAF MINIATURES

Wiglaf Miniatures is a one-man company producing a range of 18mm metal wargaming miniatures for my favourite period: the British Dark Ages or Early Medieval Period. I’ve written several sets of wargaming rules and countless magazine articles covering this era, and finally decided to produce my own range of miniatures too.

The Age of Penda range is designed for the wars of the seventh century AD Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and includes named historical leaders and legendary characters, Vendel Culture warriors, mounted warriors, and Welsh allies and enemies.

I wrote a set of new rules to celebrate the launch of Wiglaf Miniatures: they’re called Age of Penda. I’ve also published an Author’s Edition of my classic rules and sourcebook from the late 1990s: Glutter of Ravens. You can find out more about both by clicking here.

I’m working with my favourite sculptor, Mark Copplestone to produce high-quality models that I’m proud to deploy on the tabletop. I’m delighted to have him on board! Mark’s own superb range of fantasy Barbarica miniatures are really eye-catching and in my opinion they are the best small-scale range I’ve seen to date. His work for Wiglaf Miniatures is in a very similar style. “15mm”, “Big 15s”, “18mm”, “1/100th”, call them what you wish, but I think of them as “travel-sized 28s” due to their level of detail. Thanks for looking at Wiglaf’s offerings, I think they’ll look grand in your great hall.
