Warriors Scale Models
Modeling the U.S. Army in WWII


Warriors started as a California company under the guidance of modelers John Rosengrant and Chris Mrosko. They initially concentrated on excellent resin figures with very sharp detail and interesting poses and became one of the leading companies to take on Verlinden Productions. Many Warriors figures have one or both hands molded onto a weapon and more exact placement of arms, which is easier work with. Bodies tend to scale towards the 6’ range. Faces have better expressions than most VP figures. Their head sets make good alternatives for Dragon figures, as the helmets are similarly sized; they’re too large for swapping with Tamiya heads.

Towards the end of the 1990s VLS bought Warriors, and Mrosko moved to the company’s St. Louis area headquarters to head up the subsidiary. The company also produced a number of detail sets for AFVs, including some originated by Kendall Model Company before they folded shop. Warriors picked up the armor products (and Squadron merged the KMC aircraft accessories with their True Detail line).

The eagerly anticipated announcements of new Warriors figures came to a halt in 2007 when Squadron bought VLS from Bob Letterman and the figure line has appeared to languish in the aftermath. Bill Chilstrom helped pick things up in 2008 with three sets of crew figures to accompany the Academy M7 Priest (though they can be used in the Italeri Priest as well).

In the meantime, Chris Mrosko launched a new company, New World Miniatures, in 2007, and utllized the sculpting skills of Warriors stalwart Brian Stewart.

Warriors figure prices range from $12-14 for single soldiers and twice as much for paired sets. Some figures that have been out of production were re-released under the Lincoln County Line brand.
