The story of Victrix started over 25 years ago in London, where our founder Julian Blakeney-Edwards started out by designing, creating and selling plastic miniatures all from his home.

As a former officer in the British Army, Julian drew inspiration from his career and his passion for military history to create historical wargaming figures.

The Victrix one-man army soon expanded when Julian met Stephen Hales. Steve's background in art and video-game animation design was the missing piece in the Victrix formula, which now combined military history with digital design expertise. Julian and Steve set out with a simple mission: to make highly detailed, historically accurate miniatures which allowed people around the globe to re-live history on their own terms.

Victrix offers miniatures from many different ages and eras, with categories including Ancients, Dark Ages, Napoleonics, WWII. They also have many options for transfers, from Early Imperial Roman to Macedonian Shield.

The process of crafting miniature figures is a detailed and artistic journey. It begins with selecting a historical era based on community preferences. Thorough research ensures accuracy in every aspect, from armor to facial expressions. Sketches bring the figures to life, determining poses and parts.

These sketches are transformed into digital models using CAD software. Skilled sculptors focus on details like skin texture and facial emotions. The digital design is divided into parts, with each taking considerable time to perfect.

Moulding involves arranging figures on plastic frames using advanced digital tools. Precision CNC milling machines carve intricate steel molds. Samples are scrutinized for sharpness and accuracy, refining the design if needed.

Upon achieving satisfaction, mass production begins, and the miniatures are distributed. This meticulous process results in lifelike figures that find their place on wargaming tables worldwide, a testament to the dedication and artistry involved.
