Alan and Michael Perry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alan and Michael Perry are Citadel Miniatures designers, and two of the most prolific sculptors for the miniature wargaming hobby. They produce the vast majority of miniature figures used in Games Workshop's three core game systems: Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Warhammer 40,000 and The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game.
Alan and Michael are twin brothers who originate from the Enfield/Waltham Abbey area of London. They look virtually identical, except that Michael is missing quite a lot of his right arm following an accident loading a reproduction cannon during a re-enactment of the Battle of Crécy in France. This was a very serious injury for a right handed model sculptor, but he learned to sculpt with his left hand and along with his brother Alan they are, probably, the best commercial sculptors of wargaming figures in the world.
They were long time stalwart members of Sir Marmadaduke Rawdon's Regiment of Foote, which is a Royalist foot regiment of the King's Army, part of the British historical re-enactment group, the English Civil War Society. They have also belonged to other re-enactment groups.
