The Fighting 15s shop remains open over Christmas 2020 and the New Year. Orders will be processed pretty much every day, particularly as there seems little risk that family activities will interfere, what with everyone else in our family being on the mainland or in Sweden. With a link to the outside world involving trips […]

Lockdown II: The Return of Boris, the unwanted sequel to Lockdown I: In Search of Specsavers, will almost certainly be upon the UK from Thursday 5 November, and will again limit movement in the UK, making some activities illegal if not actually impossible for at least the next month.

Four more Greek hoplites have joined the number of codes that Fighting 15s has reworked from the former 40mm Flashing Blade range. We’ve made new moulds from master castings and rationalised what were codes GRK004 and GRK009 (previously G04 and G09) into one set of codes, because they all share the same body. One new […]

Hell is other people’s moulds. It seems unbelievable that Fighting 15s has limped along with some of the moulds it acquired from Flashing Blade in 2012 for so long, but now we’re setting our own pace we’ve found time to rework some of the more troublesome ones. First up is GRK007 Greek Hoplite attacking. A […]

Fighting 15s has begun expanding its offering of 40mm Napoleonics figures with the addition of three codes for Spanish grenadiers. Originally commissioned and produced privately by Alan Mercer, these figures are now owned by Fighting 15s. They join the range previously produced by Flashing Blade that we acquired way back in 2012 and have […]
Fighting 15s is open for business again after a break of one month. We are using a new base website address of fighting15s.com, and our previous website addresses of fighting15s.co.uk, gladiatorminiatures.co.uk, and fighting15sshop.co.uk now point here. We have made a complete break from our webshop provider of 15 years, EKM, to new software. Frankly, this […]
