I know Bristol Independent Gaming prints some of them on demand

I've never bought from them though. Simply because I can get them cheaper from ebay (say the terrainstore) or etsy.

In the USA, there's https://www.chrisparkergames.com/

You can also buy the files and send them to a local printer, or if lucky find a local printer who has a commercial license already.

I have bought some of their orcs from a more or less local printer and they were cheap and quick to get.

Both are available on this eBay (UK) page:

Thanks for all the help. As it turns out Chris Parker Games/Day of Battle was the very site I was looking for. Cheers.

Be interested to see what you think. I've been looking at the Medbury Vendel minis and some of the other packs (Beowulf, King Hygelac and Hornblower, Death Of King Ongentheow etc) for a few weeks. Keep kicking the tyres rather than pulling the trigger. Sort of flip between thinking they look great and then thinking they seem a bit fantasy.

Having bought and sold two collections of Medbury minis from Chris Parker, I can highly recommend both Chris and the minis.  The HYW figures are very good, well posed and detailed.  The LOTR figures are good, definitely based on the Rhoirrim.  Chris is a great guy to deal with.

I keep hovering over the HYW/Scottish Wars of Independence models but as yet they have managed to resist the temptation. This is certainly not going to last forever as I have a large number of Antediluvian Miniatures and these would add yet more variation.
