About Lost Heresy Miniatures

Lost Heresy is the brainchild of Bill Thornhill, former owner and main sculptor for Footsore Miniatures. Bill was born in Manchester, England, and has been in the miniature industry for over 20 years. Starting out as a miniature painter, he then moved up to being the master mold maker for Wargames Foundry, where he trained under the late Bryan Ansell.

On leaving Foundry he started up his own historical miniatures company, Musketeer Miniatures, which he ran till he moved to the US in 2011. Musketeer morphed into Footsore Miniatures from there. In 2018 he took a sabbatical which enabled him to train himself to create miniatures using 3d digital software, transitioning completely from traditional sculpting. 

Divesting from Footsore Miniatures in 2020, he created Lost Heresy, which unlike his previous projects, focused mainly on Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres. His aim is to create the best tabletop miniatures available to the modern gamer, with as much variety as possible.

He currently lives in Ohio, USA with his wife, Wendy and various cats and dogs.
