About Aries Games & Miniatures

Hi, I'm Derek King — owner of Aries Games & Miniatures, based right here in Kenosha, WI. What started as a passion for tabletop gaming has grown into something I'm genuinely proud of: a community-focused online only hobby shop serving players, painters, and collectors across the world.

Your BattleTech Headquarters

BattleTech is at the heart of what we do. We carry one of the most comprehensive selections of Catalyst Game Labs BattleTech products you'll find anywhere online — from Alpha Strike starter sets and Clan Invasion boxes to the latest Mercenaries releases and hard-to-find sourcebooks. Whether you're a grizzled veteran of the Inner Sphere or just discovering the universe for the first time, we've got you covered.

5,400+ Products Across the Hobby

BattleTech is our specialty, but we've built a catalog that spans the full breadth of the hobby. We carry:

• Miniatures & Model Kits — Bandai Gundam and Macross model kits, BLKOUT from Enemy Spotted Studios
• Paints & Hobby Supplies — Monument Hobbies Pro Acryl, Turbo Dork specialty paints
• Terrain & Basing — GamersGrass and Army Painter tufts and terrain products. HEXTECH from Thunderhead Studio
• Storage & Transport — Feldherr and Battle Foam carrying cases and compartment trays
• Dice — Chessex and more
• And much more — with new products added regularly

With over 5,400 products and growing, there's a good chance we have what you're looking for — and if you're not sure, just ask.

Community First

We believe the hobby is better when the community thrives. That's why we actively support events through prize support and sponsorships — check out our Event Sponsorships page to see how we give back. Our blog is home to over 1,600+ articles covering game news, hobby tips, and community highlights, because we're players and fans just like you.

Local Pickup in Kenosha, WI

Based in Kenosha, WI, we offer local pickup for customers in the area. It's a great way to save on shipping and maybe chat hobby for a few minutes when you stop by.

Why Shop With Us?

We're not a faceless warehouse — we're hobbyists who care about getting you the right products, shipped quickly and carefully. Every order matters to us, and we stand behind what we sell. Plus...I know how much good service matters! That, as well as integrity and honesty were two of our primary founding principles for the company of which others just sadly don't follow.

Thank you for supporting a small, independent hobby shop. It genuinely means the world to me as it helps support my family in every way.
