Miniatures Figures Reviews

Visit Grenadier Specialty Products: Custom products for historical gamers

The phenomenal response to our expanded miniatures section has made us acutely aware of the huge interest in table top wargaming. In order to meet popular demand we have decided to add images and reviews of Napoleonics miniatures. We will judge the figures on casting, detail, accuracy and usability. Let's not rule out eye candy appeal. Our major focus will be on 15mm figures, but we are not averse to looking at larger figures.
