RIP Irregular Miniatures

I was informed by a comment on my YouTube channel last week that Irregular Miniatures had finally closed its doors (bar 2mm and 6mm which are now on a different website), after 45 years of service to the wargaming community.

I’ll certainly miss this site!

I’ve been aware of Irregular and bought from them semi-regularly for roughly a decade now, so I’m definitely sad to see them go.

Their first appearance on this blog was from my ‘Bible Bashers’ (Biblical Mythological Skirmishing).

Back then I was also partaking of their 2mm Sci-fi and Fantasy, and 15mm and 28mm fantasy figures… basically everything:

Their figures always had a sort of strange appeal I’ve mentioned on here more than once. Many of their historical figures were straightforward and no nonsense, however their sci-fi and fantasy offerings were frequently quirky, and I quite enjoyed the game of spotting what historical figure or vehicle had been modified to fit a sci-fi or fantasy setting. Not to mention where things would jump around the various scales they offered, a 15mm mech may well be constructed from 6mm vehicle parts.

My most recent projects to feature their figures exclusively, were my game Skirmashed:

And my 15mm Sci-fi Project:

They will be greatly missed I’m sure, and I do hope someone else picks up the moulds and carries on producing their figures.

So hold whatever Irregular Minis you have remaining close, paint them up and press them into service on the tabletop. Those little gems of wargaming goodness will only become rarer as time moves on! I know I’ve certainly got a few I need to get painted and get fighting!

  1. that is terrible news, although I only usually partake of 2mm and 6mm the staggering range is quite a loss.

    cheers, John
