Warploque Launch Their Troubles In The North ArcWorlde Kickstarter
October 3, 2016 by brennon
Warploque Miniatures have now launched their Kickstarter for Troubles In The North, an expansion for the 32mm skirmish game, ArcWorlde.
At the time of writing the campaign has already smashed through its funding goal and they are looking ahead to add-ons and more now. The focus is on making sure three new warbands come to life alongside the new book.
Here are the two main factions and the additional one unlocked by the campaign. Leading the way are the Njorsvald who fight very differently from their Southern cousins.
Once again, it's nice to see them embracing the Northern look with their axes and shields but with a slightly more up to date look, including the plate armour and such as well for their leader.
Following on from them we have their foes, the Dark Lords.
I really like the design of the Dark Warlord and his Hobgoblins are very well sculpted too - the one picking his nose is my favourite. The little gibbering Underlings add a nice edge of the comedy to the force too.
As well as these two factions they've also unlocked and added the new Halfling force to their Kickstarter.
This is a neat set which helps you build upon the existing Halfling force. You could use some elements of the original warband and then add in those riders and the Halflings swinging around great weapons for that Northern touch.
Stretch Goals & Add-Ons
There's already plenty more unlocked for the campaign as noted above including some Swords For Hire.
While the Grim Goblin immediately drew my eye I think I'd love to see Krunk become a reality sooner rather than later. I'm happy with any excuse to unleash a Barbarian on the tabletop.
If you want something for Krunk to fight then they've also created some Trolls too.
That huge Sea Troll Bull is rather excellent and I like that its body and arms are different allowing it to do a bit of swimming. The big tusks might claim the lives of a few of your warband too.
What do you think of the offerings so far?

This is a really great Kickstarter with even more amazing models from Warploque. The new factions look great, but the halflings are truly amazing! Will definitely be getting some of those!
its the month of fairy tale kickstarters.
arch worlde is packed full of style and character.
i’m going to miss out on the kickstarter but I will look to pick it up at some point.
I backed this one, there is also an expansion for the Jungle Gremlins, as well as some interesting laaaaarge models on the KS page updates which are also on the facebook page. Good stuff!
yes I have backed this one too with a pledge that seems to be growing daily …sigh.
As others have said this game and minis are packed with a style all of their own and are really, well, fun. Have a look you won’t be disappointed
I love the models and character in this game, but there are two elements of the rules that are not clear, and try as I might, I can’t find anyone or anything that discusses or explains it. I’ve contacted Warploque and everything to no avail.
If any of the ArcWorlde fans here know of someone I could talk to, or somewhere I could go to get some clarification, that would be great. Because as it stands, the game changes dramatically based on how you interpret one small, but entirely crucial rule.
Tried the FB page? https://www.facebook.com/groups/arcworldeofficial/
Ah, good call. I didn’t see any of these results because it’s a closed group that you need to apply to join before you can see any of the discussions or posts.
Thanks for the tip. Hopefully I can get in and grab some kind of consensus on there.
If you join the FB group there’s a couple of rule gurus in there that will sort you out. https://www.facebook.com/groups/arcworldeofficial/?ref=bookmarks
Sorry just seen somebody else tell you the same thing.
@greyhunter88 the closed group isn’t that hard to get in, they took me … that shows how low their standards are.
Hahaha!
Ends up that the designers themselves haven’t figured out which way they want it to be played yet, and that it’s still being play-tested and discussed.
At least I’m reassured that it wasn’t just a problem with my reading comprehension!
Some more of the mini’s from each factions are being shown. Love the look of the Helbat and tempted by the Trollspear. Need a few more backers to get the stuff unlocked for this great game.
