About Us

Bow and Blade Games is a family run business formed in Summer 2018 by Chris Sutherland, based in the County of Cumbria in the North West of the UK.

We specialize in providing high-quality gaming accessories for wargamers and roleplayers across the UK. Our range includes dice, basing materials (grass tufts, flock, static grass), paints, and sculpting supplies from trusted brands like Vallejo, Green Stuff World, and Army Painter. We also stock essential hobby tools, adhesives, modeling putties, and other accessories to support your creative projects.

In addition to retail, Bow and Blade Games proudly produces a growing selection of 3D-printed miniatures, accessories, and laser-cut designs. Using both FDM and high-resolution resin printing, we offer a mix of in-house sculpted designs (created by Chris!) and officially licensed prints from talented creators like M3DM’s Familiars and Beasts range and Critit’s Awesome Animal Companions.

In November 2024, we acquired the Timeline Miniatures MDF terrain range from Hoka Hey Wargaming. After extensive reworking and improvements, we relaunched it in April 2025 as Timeline Terrain. This collection features around 100 high-quality MDF buildings across multiple scales, including 15mm, 20mm, and 28mm. Covering a variety of historical and fantasy settings—such as Roman, World War II, and classic fantasy landscapes—Timeline Terrain brings versatile, durable, and beautifully designed structures to your tabletop.

 

Our collection continues to expand, with new additions such as custom dice boxes, 3D-printed bases, and more to complement our existing product lines. Keep an eye on our store for the latest releases!

Where are we based?

Bow and Blade Games does not have a physical shop premises (yet!). We are an “online trader” but we also attend various wargames shows around the UK.
You can see where we’re going to be on the Wargames Shows page of this site.

Our home base is in the Gem Town of Cockermouth in West Cumbria, so if you’re ever in the Lakes, give us a shout and maybe we can let you pick up an order or maybe even get a game of something! One of the best things to come out of B&BG is all the new friends we’ve made along the way. This community is incredible!
