History

To talk about military miniatures is to talk about history. A fan of lead soldiers will hardly not be curious about the events that inspired such models. History and miniaturism are, therefore, linked interests for most hobbyists to the point of not understanding one without the other.

For this, we will offer a series of history and uniformology articles by renowned experts, such as Julio Albi or Bill Combs, with which we will try to back our miniatures with their rich and throbbing historical context.
