About this site

Welcome on the website "Battalions and Hordes". This website is specialized in plastic toy soldiers and model kits on 1:72 scale. As usual in this scale almost every set has a military theme as subject. This website is updated several times a week, so you can trust on sets being available.

In November 2006 this website started with selling Esci figure sets. The Esci label disappeared about ten years ago. Nowadays Italeri re-releases parts of the old Esci catalogue. Through this website it is possible to buy the original Esci figure sets again. The aim of this website is to offer the discontinued Esci series as complete as possible.

In course of time the website has expanded with rare figure sets and model kits of well known brands like Airfix, Esci and Revell. Besides sets of (once) well known labels this website also pays attention to new and less known brands like Caesar Miniatures, Mac Distribution and Wespe Models.

Since August 2007 an increasing number of figures can be bought per piece in numbers of your choice. So there is no need to buy complete figure sets, when you are intending to use only a couple of the figures. This service is popular with wargamers, who can use large numbers of certain poses.

Other services:

  • When you have difficulties finding certain figures or model kits, you can have them searched for on request, without further obligations. This way you can have first choice for the items you are looking for, even before they are listed on the website. Many sets have already been sold this way outside the website;
  • It is possible to trade your old Revell soldiers for products offered through this website. The figures you want to trade will be valued. The value can be used as credit for purchases on this website;
  • A number of times a year there are possibilities to sell parts of your Revell collection to this website for cash. Wanted are Revell figure sets in a very good condition (undamaged boxes and every figures still on undamaged sprues).

At the moment the website is being expanded with:
- rare Airfix titles of which no reissue is to be expected;
- Matchbox 1:76 scale figure sets.
