Tenth Legion workshop tour

Okay, this is most definitely not 10mm as such, but with our 6mm heads on, the Tenth Legion team will be organising the Joy of Six show.  (www.joysofsix.co.uk).  

So, why am I bleating on about this here?   There are two reasons:  Firstly, we know that many 10mm gamers dabble in 6mm and vice versa, so to those brave souls who swing both ways, this is a prompt that if you are attending the show you can place a 10mm order to collect on the day.   Just got to www.tenthlegion.uk and order via the shopping cart, choosing the option to collect at a show.

Secondly, and for those of you who live near enough to Sheffield, on June 27th we will be throwing our doors open and doing tours around the workshop.   This is a rare chance to see how your little men come into being, from initial concept to final production.  If you fancy booking a place on one of the tours, you can do so here. https://cdn.jotfor.ms/240702796600353   It would great to add a few 10mm-ers to the tour and you will be able to see at first hand how are developing the Tenth Legion range and how our plans are shaping up.

New starter sets from Tenth Legion

Many thanks to all of you who dropped by for a chat at a very busy Partizan wargames show.  It’s always a pleasure to chat with wargamers and I got some very positive feedback which seemed to boil down to the following:

• ‘So THAT’s what happened to the Magister Militum ranges!’
• ‘These are actually really nice figures!’ (Said with an air of surprise.)
• ‘They look much nicer than the photos.’
• ‘Are these compatible with Pendraken?’ (The inevitable question.)
• Will you be doing army packs?

All in all, an interesting bunch of comments, to which the answers are;

Some rather nice Brits going BANG!

To kick off, a quick note to say that we will be attending the wonderful Partizan wargames in Newark on 17th May.  Although we will most mostly be wearing our Baccus hats, we will have a 10mm section on the stand and will be happy to talk 10mm and show off some of the stuff that we have planned to be released over the coming months.  If you want us to bring something along just let us know and we will have it ready for you to collect.

I’ve been banging the drum for our newly remoulded Napoleonic figures and the new gun and equipment models, but please bear with me as I am genuinely excited by how nicely these have turned out.  Having showcased the French in the last post, here are some stalwart British foot artillery crewing a 9pdr.  Loads more like this to come, including a rather nice rocket cart and crew…

As ever, all details can be found here…

On the Tenth Legion workbench

This week, I’d like to share a behind-the-scenes photo with you of our mould maker Andrew’s workbench.   This is usually a litter of various bits and pieces, but this time he has excelled himself in both the diversity and the number of projects on the go.

New Napoleonic releases

I am absolutely delighted to mark a real milestone in our work on overhauling and representing the Magister Militum Napoleonic range.   Firstly, the Austrian infantry codes have now all been converted to strip format.  This means that of the ‘Big Five’ nations of the Napoleonic war we are over half way, with just the Russians and Prussians to do.

Highlanders two ways

One of the deciding factors in persuading this maker of 6mm figures to take on the Magister Militum 10mm ranges was that we shared a sculptor in common.    Martin Baker has been a mainstay of the Baccus ranges for the best part of two decades and in that time has been behind most of our 6mm Napoleonic ranges.   As it happens, he has also done the same in 10mm.   This photo shows Napoleonic British Highlanders sculpted by Martin in both scales.

It also highlights why when I am painting Tenth Legion figures I find them to be HUGE, which must sound strange to those of you who are used to fielding the, ‘How can you paint something so small’ question about your 10mms!

Something Napoleonic to start the year

Welcome to the first Tenth Legion post of 2026, and the first new-ish releases of the year!    As I have posted previously, we are working on a methodical inspection and reorganisation of the Magister Militum range, and this time round, it is the turn of the Napoleonic British to get the treatment.

What we did in 2025 and what is planned for 2026

One thing that I do with Baccus every year is look back at what we did over the previous twelve months and attempt to put some sort of projected framework of what we would like to achieve in the coming year.   I thought it would be interesting to see how a similar review would turn out for Tenth Legion.   So, let’s give it a go.

Refurbished Napoleonic French now available.

Hi All,

It’s been fairly quiet from the Tenth Legion team, but that doesn’t mean that we have been idle.  Far from it!  One of the tasks that we have set ourselves is a comprehensive refurbishment of the mould stock and we have started with the major task of overhauling the Napoleonic infantry codes.
