Welcome to WAR BODS, a growing collection of highly detailed historical wargaming miniatures, designed for tabletop commanders, historical enthusiasts, miniature painters and collectors.

Designed for historical skirmish gaming, colonial-era campaigns and collectors interested in less commonly represented military history.

BUILD YOUR ARMY YOUR WAY

WAR BODS miniature ranges are organised to make collecting and army building straightforward.

Rather than simply offering random individual figures, our goal is to provide structured collections that allow you to assemble practical tabletop forces.

Individual Miniatures: Select specific soldiers, poses, weapons and equipment to customise your existing units.

Squad & Section Packs: Ready-selected groups of figures designed around historically appropriate formations and popular tabletop gaming requirements.

Command Groups: Officers, NCOs, standard bearers, radio operators and other command personnel appropriate to each historical period.

Weapons & Support Teams: Machine guns, mortars, anti-tank weapons, artillery crews and other specialist units, where appropriate to the army.

Platoon & Formation Packs: Larger figure collections that make it easier to build cohesive fighting forces.

Complete Army Collections: Planned larger sets combining command, infantry and supporting units to provide a foundation for an army.

Each product listing will identify the included figures, equipment, scale and quantity.

DESIGNED FOR POPULAR WARGAMING RULES

WAR BODS miniatures are intended for use with a wide variety of established historical tabletop wargaming systems.

Depending on the historical period and chosen scale, our figures may be suitable for games such as:

  • Bolt Action

  • Flames of War

  • Chain of Command

  • Battlegroup

  • Black Powder

  • General d'Armée

  • Sharp Practice

  • Hail Caesar

  • Saga

  • Lion Rampant

  • The Men Who Would Be Kings

Our unit collections are planned with commonly used game formations in mind, helping players identify suitable commanders, infantry, weapons teams and support units.

WAR BODS is an independent miniature range and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or officially licensed by the publishers of these games. Players should check the current rules, force lists, basing requirements and figure counts for their chosen system.

HIGH-DETAIL RESIN MINIATURES

Every WAR BODS figure is designed with tabletop presentation and miniature painting in mind.

We focus on recognisable uniforms, historically appropriate equipment, expressive character poses and crisp surface detail.

Features include:

  • High-resolution resin 3D printing

  • Detailed uniforms, clothing and equipment

  • Carefully defined facial features

  • Distinctive weapons and accessories

  • Dynamic and natural poses

  • Enhanced detail suitable for smaller gaming scales

  • Unpainted models ready for preparation and painting

Selected gaming-scale figures may feature subtly exaggerated heads, hands and weapons to improve visual definition and durability. This is commonly described as heroic-scale styling.

Our aim is to combine historical character with the practical requirements of miniature tabletop gaming.

AVAILABLE SCALES

WAR BODS aims to support a selection of popular miniature wargaming scales, subject to the individual range and product.

Scale Typical Use
6mm Large battles and mass formations
10mm Compact army-level gaming
15mm Historical battles and Flames of War-style gaming
20mm / 1:72 WWII and historical gaming

Important: Wargaming miniature sizes can be measured from the feet to the eyes or from the feet to the top of the head, depending on the manufacturer. We will identify the sizing convention used in relevant product listings to help customers match existing collections.

Not every figure or range will necessarily be available in every scale.

UNPAINTED & READY FOR YOUR CREATIVE TOUCH

WAR BODS miniatures are supplied unpainted, allowing customers to finish them in their preferred historical colours, regimental markings and battlefield styles.

Figures are generally supplied without bases unless otherwise stated, giving players the freedom to choose the basing system required by their game.

Some models may require minor preparation, assembly or cleaning before priming and painting.

Product images may include digital renders, painted examples or prototype models. Please refer to each listing for the exact contents supplied.

EXPANDING HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS

WAR BODS is being developed as an expanding range of miniature armies, not simply a collection of isolated figures.

Our long-term aim is to support each historical period with enough variety to build complete and interesting tabletop forces.

Future additions may include alternative uniforms, specialist troops, new poses, supporting weapons, cavalry, battlefield casualties, equipment and scenic accessories.

We also intend to explore unusual armies, lesser-known campaigns and historical periods that are not always well represented in the miniature wargaming market.

DESIGNED FOR WARGAMERS, PAINTERS & COLLECTORS

Whether you enjoy competitive tabletop gaming, historically researched scenarios, miniature painting or collecting military figures, WAR BODS aims to offer something for your hobby.

Our miniatures can be used to build gaming armies, create historical dioramas, develop individual character models or recreate specific units and engagements.

From a handful of skirmish figures to hundreds of troops arranged across a battlefield, the range is designed to grow alongside your collection.
