Fighting 15s: Shows update

It’s fair to say that Fighting 15s has not been at a wargames show in any capacity since the pandemic started. And in short, that’s not going to change. I intend to attend Warfare this year as a punter, in which case feel free to stop me and say hello. But I am increasingly aware […]

Martian Empires: Prussian Steam Tanks

The Prussian steam tanks for the Martian Empires range of 18mm Victorian science fiction figures are back in production after an absence of five years.

In light of recent communications from EU customers, Fighting 15s has opened a trial Etsy store at https://www.etsy.com/shop/Fighting15s. The store only contains our Generation 5GZ range of modern 15mm figures, zombies and zombie hunters, as these seem a good fit with the types of products available through Etsy.
