HASTINGS960 HAS TAKEN OFF!
HASTINGS960 HAS TAKEN OFF!
The Norman Conquest is proceeding faster than Duke William himself! After launching our "call to arms", the wargaming community responded with incredible enthusiasm.
The Norman Conquest is proceeding faster than Duke William himself! After launching our "call to arms", the wargaming community responded with incredible enthusiasm.
When we announced our ambition to recreate the Battle of Hastings at a 1-to-1 scale using 16,000 PaperBoys, we knew it was a challenge. What we didn't anticipate was the sheer speed and passion of the wargaming community!
We are happy to confirm that within a staggering 72 hours of posting our proposal, nearly all the necessary figure bases have been claimed by volunteer Master Miniaturists.
This overwhelmingly positive response ensures that HASTINGS960 is not only happening but is proceeding with incredible momentum and success!

AN IDEA TAKES SHAPE
AN IDEA TAKES SHAPE
On November 5th, 2025, I asked myself a question that changed everything:
Can we recreate Hastings figure-for-figure?
To celebrate the upcoming anniversary (960th) and the Tapestry coming to Britain in Summer 2026 we decided to field a massive 16,000-figure engagement.
By utilising the unique strengths of PaperBoys, we realised we could finally achieve the "infinite" scale required for a 1-to-1 replica.
What started as a daring idea has evolved into a beautiful, community-driven reality. We are doing what has never been done before.
