Fighting 15s announces the latest release for its Flashing Blade range of 40mm figures: Portuguese Napoleonic infantry. The new releases join the existing line-up of Portuguese cacadores. There are two types of Portuguese infantry: the early version for 1806 in barretina with hide pack and French musket, and the later 1811 version in British-supplied uniforms […]
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 […]
Work on remastering the 40mm former Flashing Blade range continues at Fighting 15s with reworked versions of the Greek hoplite leaders. We’ve made new moulds and sorted out the issues with the fit of the arms in the shoulder joints. The codes for the leader are now: GRK001 Greek hoplite leader with spear at rest […]
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 […]

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 making sense of the moulds and inherited stock from Flashing Blade, and is pleased to announce we have sorted out what’s what in the 40mm Children of the Hydra, aka Skeletons. We have photographed the display model, identified its components, re-described the figures in the shop because they didn’t match the list, […]
