BROADSWORD MINIATURES

BROADSWORD MINIATURES

WELCOME!!

Welcome to The Broadsword Miniatures "website". Here you will find classic ranges of the 70's and 80's brought back into production for your gaming pleasure, and also painted wargaming figures. A quick intro... My name is Mike McGuinness and I've been playing with little soldiers as far back as I can remember, starting with the likes of Timpo and Britain's, then Airfix and finally graduating to metal figures about 1978. For me figures from the 70s and early 80s capture the amazing fantasy vibe that was around at that time.. prog rock album covers, Paper Tiger books, Rodney Matthews posters and of course a massive upsurge in wargaming and fantasy roleplaying. 

With the start of the Oldhammer movement, I began to realise I wasn't the only oddball out there who liked old fantasy figures and as I met more enthusiasts, I discovered a niche within a niche... those furtive souls who preferred PREhammer figures like myself. A couple of years ago the opportunity arose to buy the small fantasy range from 1979 produced by Hinchliffe Models and designed by the late and very great Peter Gilder. Peter Gilder was a titan of wargaming in my youth, appearing on TV and of course running The Wargames Holiday Centre. I'm honoured to own masters sculpted by him and bring this small and eclectic range back into production.

Future releases will include The Martian (not John Carter) figures Peter sculpted, and the Mythic World range formerly owned by East Riding Miniatures, as well as my own minis, sculpted by the talented Geoff Solomon-Sims of Oakbound Studios. Geoff is one of the friends I have made since becoming involved in the Oldhammer movement and Oakbound Studios houses our faithful spin caster Beastie, producing Oakbound and Broadsword Miniatures.

To order any miniatures shown below, or to commission painted figures, please email me at

 broadswordminiatures@gmail.com and I'll send you a PayPal invoice including postage.

Postage will be as cheap as I can make it. Usually UK orders are £5 on orders under £50 or £8 on orders over £50. At Broadsword we use recycled packaging to keep costs down and of course lessen any environmental impact.

International orders please contact me and I'll get a quote to you.

Some codes are shown as CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE  . These are proving very difficult to cast due to the reduced lead content in modern metal.

Where applicable, I've added a note with the mini if it appeared in an Oldhammer picture or publication.

The 3 Elf castings will be renamed Sprites, as they are tiny even for old school minis.

All mounted figures are one piece castings.

Any questions, or if you just fancy a chat about minis, please do email me
