Peter Pig Miniatures Rally A New 15mm Carolingian Army!
November 25, 2022 by brennon
Peter Pig Miniatures has expanded their Dark Age collection with a range of new 15mm Carolingian miniatures in good ol' metal. You can snap them up right now and start battling during the 9th Century across Europe in your Historical wargames.
Carolingian Spear Command // Peter Pig Miniatures
As Peter Pig has detailed on their webstore, this would be great when representing the armies battling around Northern France during the same time period as the Vikings and the Saxons. So, you could mix them in alongside those iconic puzzle pieces of Dark Age history.
Carolingian Swordsmen // Peter Pig Miniatures
There is a good mix of infantry figures for you to consider picking up from them. You've got spearmen, swordsmen, javelinmen, bowmen and then armoured and unarmoured versions of these in some cases.
Carolingian Skirmish Command // Peter Pig Miniatures
As you can see above, there are also options for command elements to match each of these different units. So, you could build up a pretty solid army of Carolingians on the tabletop with this range. There are some awesome 15mm Dark Age wargames out there that these could be used for and you might even consider chopping down the scale of SAGA for example!
It should also be noted that the Carolingians were pretty darn good when it came to cavalry. To that end, there are some good options for you to add mounted warriors into the mix as well.
Carolingian Generals // Peter Pig Miniatures
There are Generals (see above) and some Armoured Cavalry options too so you can charge across the battlefield and shatter a shieldwall. I think this is a really neat little collection that you might not have delved into before. Perhaps there will be some fun miniatures in this range that you could use to build your own Dark Age armies.
Have you ever thought about running a Carolingian army?

Interesting. I’d love to see some more Carolingian options in 28mm! They’re among the most neglected Early Medieval forces, at this point.
Totally Agree of the major Early Medieval factions they apparently have the fewest options in 28mm. As far as I know Only Gripping Beast and Artizan Designs have a Carolingian ranges. And Essex Miniatures have a few +30 years old Late Frankish sculpts and Eureka miniatures have some suitable Frankish 28mm minis. Reconquer Designs might do some Carolingian Marca Franca Franks somewhere in the future as part of their 3D printable Medieval Spain range. Footsore Carolingians sculpted by the likes of Matthew Bickley would be awesome. Or by V&V miniatures. A Couple of plastic Dark Age Frankish sets by Victrix… Read more »
Old Glory and Newline do a small range as well
Footsore, V&V, and Victrix are my top choices as well! Here’s hoping. 🙂
Nice for gaming with.
