Heartbreaker Hobbies & Games

So a discussion popped up on the Oldhammer Facebook Group about love for other companies and as OoaB readers known I love my old lead alternatives and have done a few articles about other companies.

Seen here:

Ral Partha Europe
Grenadier Models UK
Asgard Miniatures

And the subject changed to how now RPE sell some of the Kev Adams Heartbreaker range and it got me thinking.. Do I need a Orc army and yet another project? Well short answer is Yes, long answer is Hell Yes!

Asgard Miniatures

Asgard Miniatures was founded by Bryan Ansell in 1976. Ansell had previously designed the Conquest Age of Joman range which therefore explains the certain similarities which exist between one or two figures of the Conquest range and the Asgard range.

Asgard went out of business somewhere in the early to mid 1980's. The Viking Forge ended up with the rights in the US for a good portion of the 25mm fantasy ranges and continues to produce them to this day. In the UK, Tabletop Games acquired all of the Asgard assets and continued to produce much of them until around the mid 2000's when Tabletop itself was acquired by Alternative Armies. Alternative Armies has brought some of the old Asgard figures back into production.
