Wargame Publications was a 1970s company (1977 or earlier?) that probably lasted into the early 1980s. They advertised in some of the earliest issues of "White Dwarf" magazine first being announced as entering the miniature market in White Dwarf Issue #4 [1]. In an interview in 2022 Bob Naismith mentioned that he had started out his career sculpting for them.
