Welcome Helion!

Welcome to Helion & Company’s wargames figure site!

Apart from our well-known books business, Helion now produce extremely high-quality 28mm 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)

"...this is a remarkable and authoritative range which it is hard to imagine ever being bettered." Battlegames magazine, 2009

Prussian Foot Guard, Line Infantry colour party vignettes and Austrian enthusiastic infantry officers are all now in-stock, I'm endeavouring to get the site update with them.

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!

I desperately need to update the website! Not only do the Austrian hussars need photos adding, but I now also have received stock of the Prussian Foot Guards, Prussian colour party vignettes and Austrian enthusiastic infantry officers!
