Wargames Factory is a plastic miniature manufacturer opened in 2007. It specializes in highly detailed, multi-part models in hard plastic for wargaming. Wargames Factory produce models mostly in the 28 millimetres (1.1 in) range, but have done other scales as well. It is unique in the way it chooses the subject of its miniatures, using what they call the Liberty and Union League to produce models submitted by consumers.
The company is using a "direct to digital" approach which does not use an original physical sculpt. This is unlike many other plastic wargames figure manufacturers who sculpt the figure at three times the eventual size (called three-ups), then digitally scan and reduce them for production. In the design process the company uses the software Freeform from Sensable (which in 2012 was bought by Geomagic).
Wargames Factory was established as a Limited Liability Company in 2007, managed by Anthony Reidy. The company entered partnership with the plastic injection molding company Ghost Studio. In 2010 the company was taken over by its partner with George Sivy as new manager. The Massachusetts based LLC was dissolved on April 19, 2011 as the business moved to Colorado.
2012 saw the company taking on manufacturing projects for several miniature wargaming companies. They produce models for InMediaRes Productions' imprint Catalyst Game Labs boardgame Leviathan's, first released on GenCon in 2011. They also produce lines of miniatures for DreamForge-Games and Scarab Miniatures.
The name Liberty and Union League was taken from the protests of the early American colonists and the raising of liberty poles.
