About Battle Honours 3D

Founded in 2022

History deserves more than generic miniatures

Battle Honours 3D is a UK historical miniatures business created to help wargamers, collectors, painters and diorama builders bring real periods, armies and battlefields to life.

We produce finely detailed figures, buildings and terrain across a broad choice of scales, with a focus on historical character, clear information and models that remain rewarding from the first coat of primer to the finished tabletop.

What matters to us

Historical character
Models that feel connected to the period and subject.
True scale choices
Consistent measurements and practical help matching collections.
Detailed production
Materials selected to retain detail at the scale ordered.
Hobby-led service
Help from people who understand what customers are building.

Why Battle Honours 3D exists

We wanted historical hobbyists to have more choice without having to settle for flat, generic or badly matched pieces.

The details that shape a convincing battlefield are often the small ones: the posture of a soldier, the equipment being carried, the proportions of a figure, the architecture of a region and the way several ranges sit beside one another.

Battle Honours 3D is advised by experienced wargamers with decades in the hobby and industry. That input helps us focus on subjects that are recognisable, useful on real gaming tables and enjoyable to paint and collect.

Our catalogue covers individual figures, formed units, personalities, artillery, buildings and terrain across a growing selection of historical periods. This makes it easier to build more of the scene in one place, rather than finding the troops but not the structures or features that give the battle its identity.

We also recognise that historical gaming has never had one perfectly consistent approach to scale. Clear measurements and sensible comparisons are therefore part of the service, not an afterthought.

“A model should not only be detailed. It should look as though it belongs to the history, scale and battlefield you are recreating.”
Meet the team

The people behind Battle Honours 3D

We are a small, hands-on team. The people helping to develop the ranges are closely connected to the people producing, checking and preparing the models customers receive.

Gordon Kitney

Design, development and historical direction

Gordon helps drive the design and development of new Battle Honours 3D ranges. He researches subjects, develops new additions, designs models and works through the historical details that give each range its character.

He is also a keen painter and has painted many of our buildings and terrain pieces himself, helping us judge how models perform once they reach the real hobby table.

Michael

Production, customers and business development

Michael runs Battle Honours 3D day to day and is directly involved in producing the models customers receive. Alongside printing, preparation and quality checks, he manages customer communication, scale matching, the website, marketing and the wider direction of the business.

That means the person answering many customer questions also understands the practical production decisions behind the order.

Jordan

Production and model preparation

Jordan supports the hands-on production and preparation work involved in turning digital models into finished customer orders.

Her practical experience helps keep models moving through production and supports the clear, realistic advice we give customers about handling and preparing their miniatures.

What makes Battle Honours 3D different

01

History first

We look for the character of the subject, from uniforms and equipment to regional buildings and battlefield features.

02

Detail with purpose

Fine detail preserves faces, fabric, tools, masonry and surface texture so models remain interesting at every stage of the hobby.

03

A clearer approach to scale

We use a consistent sole-to-bridge-of-nose measurement and help customers compare ranges before committing to a larger project.

04

More than figures

Buildings and terrain help turn a collection of units into a recognisable battlefield, settlement or diorama.

Our approach

Designed around the finished table

We judge a range by what it adds to the hobby once it has been printed, painted and placed beside the rest of a collection.

Useful subjects: troop types, personalities and structures that help complete a period rather than simply repeat what is already easy to find.
Readable detail: features that hold their character after priming and painting.
Consistent presentation: clear product information and imagery so customers can understand what they are ordering.
Practical compatibility: help with measurements and scale matching when the label alone does not tell the full story.

The right material for the model and scale

Different subjects and sizes need different production methods. We choose the process that gives the best balance of detail, strength and practicality for the model being ordered.

Figures in our resin blend

Figures are produced using our own resin blend, selected to retain fine facial, uniform and equipment detail while creating models intended for real hobby use.

Terrain built for the table

Buildings at 15mm and above are produced in high-quality filament using tuned FDM settings. Smaller buildings use high-resolution 12K resin where fine details become especially important.

Made for every side of the historical hobby

Wargamers

Build coherent armies, units and battlefields with subjects chosen for tabletop usefulness as well as visual appeal.

Diorama builders

Combine figures, structures and terrain to recreate a location, action or historical scene with greater depth.

Painters and collectors

Find distinctive personalities, poses and subjects that are rewarding as individual display pieces or complete collections.

Scale without the guesswork

The same label can mean different things between manufacturers. Our scale guide explains exactly how to measure a figure, compare ranges and request a close match. Customers can also request a scale amendment within 48 hours of ordering.

A catalogue that keeps growing

Historical gaming covers an enormous span of people, places and conflicts. We continue to expand the catalogue with new units, personalities, buildings and terrain so customers can return to an existing project or begin something entirely new.

Our In The Pipeline page shows the ranges and releases currently being developed or prepared for the store.

Help shape what comes next

Customer questions often reveal missing units, overlooked buildings and useful additions to a range. Contact us when there is a subject you would genuinely like to see represented.

Historical variety

We work to offer more than the obvious subjects, including the details that make a project feel complete.

Real hobby support

Questions about matching, choosing or finding models are always welcome.
