Footsore Miniatures: Upcoming Franco-Prussian War and Caesars Gallic Wars Ranges!


Recently stumbled upon this new company called Footsore Miniatures: We will be opening with two periods in the coming months. They will be the Franco-Prussian War and Caesars Gallic Wars. We hope to have our first releases available around March/April followed by steady releases throughout 2014. The initial ranges will be sculpted by Bill Thornhill (Musketeer Miniatures), with later ranges possibly introducing other guest sculptors.


Footsore Miniatures is a close collaboration between Donald Hauser and Bill Thornhill. We are both keen wargamers with a passion for good looking wargames armies. The aim is to create armies that look alive on your gaming table. So alive that your opponent will feel he's lost the battle before the first die is rolled, just from the sight of your troops facing him.

A quick shot of the first figures. I made the Prussian on the left just to scale all the figures off and their equipment. The center figure will be a French Infantryman and the right hand figure is a French Officer. We will be covering the French Imperial troops to begin with, alongside the Prussian Army. Once they are pretty much done we will then start on Republican troops and Prussia's Allies. As you will guess, this is a large range of figures and will keep us busy for quite some time.
