Alex of Warploque Miniatures
Warploque Miniatures is a newish company that has exploited the advantages offered by Kickstarter to, well, get kickstarted. The photo shows Alex sculpting new miniatures for Arcworlde in Rochester Games Models & Railways.
The Arcworld Range at Rochester Models
The full range of miniatures up to now have only been offered by Warploques website but now the range is on exclusive offer in shop at Rochester Models. This is a large model shop covering diecast models, plastic kits, wargame models, boardgames, GW, etc. etc. - and has a number of play tables available to hire inexpensively.
Arcworlde Fire Dragon
The Arcworld models are in the new 'heroic scale' - about 32mm - like Warlord's Doctor Who: Into The Vortex. They are premium models and priced accordingly The Fire Dragon above is huge and costs £65.
Albionnican Empire
The Albionnican Empire is one of the Arcworlde factions. The starter pack of nine models, an officer and eight troopers is available for £25 and I am definitely buying it!
An Arcworld Wizard
All these models are from Ian's collection. Ian is a stalwart of the Rochester shop.
Arcworlde Rulebook
A rulebook is available for £20 as a stand alone item or as part of starter sets.
Inside The Book
As is commonplace these days, the rulebook is scrumptiously illustrated.
An Arcworlde Demo
Rochester Models has all sorts of promo-days for different games systems. As part of this day, they were running Arcworlde demo games. It's a very friendly place and well worth a visit.
Ian, incidentally, is the fifth from the right (wearing glasses) in this photo.
Great models, Ian!
Welcome to my strange alternative world of wargaming with toy soldiers: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books (HG Wells, Little wars)

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Xmas
The Klaus Mob are about to launch their Xmas job: the highlight of the year.
The Boss with his henchmen: note the holstered Mauser.
The Snow Boys soak up bullets like, well, like a snowdrift: they can fly as well.
Santa's Elves with attitude: note the glitter guns.
Ready for the club Xmas game.
