Welcome Helion!

Welcome to Helion & Company’s wargames figure site!

Apart from our well-known books business, Helion now produce extremely high-quality 25mm wargames figures for both collectors and gamers. We will be specialising in the conflicts of the mid/later 19th century, and our first range will cover the Seven Weeks’ War of 1866. We are beginning with the Bohemian theatre of war, but will, in future years, move on to the West German and Italian theatres of war as well. We aim to provide complete coverage, with figures that are researched extremely accurately from original sources, including photographs and paintings in our collection. The figures are designed by the very talented Alan Marsh. (Please note that this is an all-new range, using a new designer, new mouldmaker, and new production facilities, and not the re-release of a range that was previously available from us in the late 1990s)
Helion news week beginning 29th June 2009

Our website has now been thoroughly updated, including images of the Austrian Hungarian infantry, and lots more guides for downloading.

The figures will be researched from the best original sources available, mostly in the German language, and poses have been carefully thought out. We welcome your feedback!

Disclaimer - All figures supplied unpainted. Unsuitable for children under 12 years of age. Figures contain small quantities of lead.

Latest work in progress - Austrian infantry!

The 'On the Workbench' page now shows photos of the completed Austrian hussars, currently undergoing mouldmaking! Fingers crossed, the hussars will be available to ship by the end of June.

What's next?

The Austrian Hungarian infantry are now in-stock and available! The Austrian hussars are due by the end of June. Next up are some Prussian Line Infantry colour party vignettes and Foot Guards, more Austrian Hungarian command figures including a pack of enthusiastic officers with vignette, and later on, artillery for both sides thereafter. Lots more flags will follow soon as well!
