The publisher of a number of cheap and cheerful
boardgames. Chris and Neil like them even if no one else

monkey!

Nice (and surprisingly cheap) attractive miniatures in
the 25mm range from Australia - Sabretooths and Raquel
Welsh style women, and now a range of feral elves...!
Copplestone Castings
More 25mm figures but with much interesting background
from far flung places of the world which can be used in a
multitude of games - from Call Cthulhu to wargamming -
both in the 1920's and in the near and far future!
