This is the best ship model for gaming that I have ever found, and is quite possibly the best model ever released by World Works. (If I had to choose one WWG model, this would be it.)

The ship is huge, dominating a table - more than 25" long, and maybe a foot and a half tall. She is also surprisingly sturdy, surviving several years of active and energetic play, sometimes by enthusiastic young people.

I have used mine in D&D, Mordheim, Legends of the High Seas, Chaos in Carpathia, 7th Sea, and Changeling the Dreaming. (I used the ship rather a lot....)

Just plain an incredible model for using in games. She can be a bit of a tricky build, but so very much worth the effort.

Arena Works is definitely a niche product - but it fills that niche amazingly well.

For me the main use has been for Pit Fights in Games Workshop's Mordheim, while a friend uses his for Blood Bowl by the same company.

In any game where there is gladiatorial combat this is the best accessory that I have ever seen.

Recently I discovered a new use for the set, on the World Works forum, where Sir Didymous had pressed it into service as a paint rack - a use that I have since emulated, the thing is the perfect size for storing Valejo and Reaper paints.
