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 ecstatic 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!
Your dedication proves that large-scale, accessible wargaming is truly alive and well. Though the initial rush is over, the commitment to this grand and fantastic vision continues.
The Recruitment Form remains online for anyone eager to join the remaining ranks and help us complete the final formations!

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), 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.

NO PAINTING
IF YOU ARE INTO WARGAMING BUT COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT PAINTING, THE PAPERBOYS ARE JUST RIGHT FOR YOU AND YOUR WARGAMING GROUP.
TEST NEW RULES
IF YOU NEED TO TEST SOME NEW RULES AND MUST BUILD TWO ARMIES QUICKLY, PAPERBOYS ARE THE TOOL BEFORE DELVING INTO A LONG PROJECT.
MASSIVE ARMIES
THE PAPERBOYS IS THE ONLY WAY TO BUILD MASSIVE ARMIES LIKE NEVER BEFORE. GAMES 5-6 PLAYERS PER SIDE ARE NOW JUST WITHIN EVERYONE'S POSSIBILITY.
RE-BASE NO BRAINER
THE PAPERBOYS GIVES YOU THE POSSIBILITY TO RE-BASE. REMOVING THE STRIPS FROM THEIR BASE IS A NO BRAINER.
STORAGE PROBLEM
IT IS MUCH EASIER WITH THE PAPERBOYS. YOU JUST PUT EVERYTHING IN A SINGLE BOX WITH NO FUSS. THEY WON'T RUIN
