I realize they’re a little obscure in popular culture or even wargaming and miniature circles. As such I’ve prowled the dusty archives of the internets for this map.
Where are the Garamantes from?
April 23rd, 2012Sneak Peek: The Garamantes
April 2nd, 2012
The Corbies are happy to post the first look at our new line, The Garamantes.
These are the raw sculpts, not yet finished…but a good idea of what is in store.
This is to our knowledge the first 15mm line of these enigmatic desert people. We will have a full line depicting these people who harassed Roman expansionism into North Africa. Warriors with their large hide shields, slingers and archers are ready. Soon we will have our horse warriors in!
DBA players should note we are also doing full DBA armies from this period. We will be offering an Early Libyan Book I/7d army for only $12.29 CAD (plus shipping) This army is legendary as the quickest and ‘smallest’ army in DBA to build. A perfect option for the DBA player suffering from the global economic chaos.
Chariots are also in the works.
Stay tuned for more news…

Trey Corbies in action
October 28th, 2011
Pictish Last Stand
Trey Corbies was pleased and proud to have sponsored and been involved with two of the DBA events at FallCon here in Calgary.
We supplied participant prizes for Adventus Saxonum (chariots for all!) and contributed the winner’s prize (our soon to be announced new release) for Psound of Psiloi.
Above is a picture of some Trey Corbies miniatures painted for the Adventus Saxonum tournament. While I realize it doesn’t show much of the details of the Warrior Women of Eire line and the paint job is pretty elementary, I think it’s a great picture.
Fearlessly facing down a horse of rampaging Visigoths, these two slingers and their faithful hound hold the ground.(SIFT-03 and SICR-01) The horsemen are Old Glory 15′s and though the focus is a little foregrounded in the shot, it gives you an idea of the compatible scale and stature.
Not too sure how this came about in the game, but it’s very dramatic. I’d love to tell you all that these wonderful Trey Corbies Warrior Women threw the Visigoth charge back in their face, routing the hairy hordes.
I’d like to tell you that….but as most of us with an inkling of skirmisher tactics know, facing cavalry in open ground with loose order slingers is not a recipe for success. The outcome as they say, was foregone.
Picts vs Saxons
Above is a picture from another fight. Here acting the part of Pictish Warrior Women, our Trey Corbies Warrior women (and dog) harry the Saxon warbands on the flank while the main battle-line awaits across the river. DBA players know that this is a far more effective use of your skirmishing or psiloi troops.
Here the Warrior Women (SIFT-01 and SIFT-03) are matched against more Old Glory 15′s, this time from Saxons, Angles and Jutes (oh my) line. The supporting light horse are also Old Glory 15′s. They’re actually Numidians converted with Trey Corbies severed heads and cow skulls to turn them into Pictish horsemen. Of course an appropriate paint job doesn’t hurt.
Next post you’ll see from me will be showcasing our new line. No spoilers yet, but they do come from a slightly warmer clime.
Cheers,

Back in Action.
September 10th, 2011Well, it took most of the summer, but we are now
FULLY STOCKED
It was a bit of an exciting time, a little touch and go. But there are some really helpful people out there in this industry.
The moulds are now back in production after a bit of tweaking.
Please feel free to order away.
Those of you who are waiting for the rest of your orders will have probably received them by noe or will in a weeks time as I mail out the second round of goods. Thanks so much for your patience.
-Sean
Shipping again.
June 30th, 2011The mail is moving. And while we are still waiting for reinforcements, we are proceeding to ship out what we have.
Reinforcements: pending, logistics: FUBAR
June 17th, 2011First the good news, it won’t be long until we are restocked and I can ship all the remaining orders out. Thank you! You are all wonderful and patient.
However… I will beg your patience a little longer as the postal strike here in Canada has gone to a full scale lock-out.
Bleah.
So unless you want to figure out alternative shipping with us, ($$$) hang tight.

Postal Strike Proceedure and Policy Posting.
June 7th, 2011Sigh, a postal strike. While the strike is still ‘rotating’ and not moved into a full-on stoppage, expect things to be SLOW.
I’m getting orders out as I can, but we are still not stocked on foot figures and weapons.

Return of the Moulds!
April 19th, 2011
I’m pleased to announce the return of the Trey Corbies Master mould and Production moulds for the ‘The Morrigan’s Own; Warrior Women of Erin’ line. Their extended sojourn in Colorado has ended.
With the kind assistance of Bill Winski of Attactix Hobbies of Aurora these moulds have been salvaged from the implosion of the business of our contract caster.
The Corbies also would like to thank Jeff Caruso, ‘Our Man in Colorado’ for his valuable support in this operation.
We will be getting these up and running ASAP and will announce when we are restocked. For the time being we still have some chariots and heroes in stock, but very little else.

Always in motion…
March 6th, 2011It’s one of those things in which form and function abide. Nature and artifice agree. The entwined swirls of the Celtic knot teaches us that not only are all things interconnected, but the nothing follows a straight line.
Much like the lifecycle of this company and this website.
The latest WordPress update frazzled our image bank and got things a little confused. Teams of top men are working around the clock. Top men…if you’ll excuse that great old Raiders of the Lost Ark joke. The rest of the site is functioning in normal parameters…including the shopping cart.
But about that…we’re pretty low on stock right now. Our current contract caster has imploded more or less, leaving us a little short of stock. Please contact me through the contact function before ordering to ensure that we have adequate stock for you. It might be sometime before restocks.
We have some new releases around the corner. They’re going to be a little different from the Warrior Women line is all I can tell you right now. Needless to say, these new lines will depict that which has done been done yet. And there will be dogs.
Thanks for bearing with us and hope all our friends and clients around the world are safe and happy.
-Sean
