One of our most popular Roman sets are the Praetorian Guard. We’ve now received painted versions of the cavalry so here they are in all their glory! Praetorian Cavalry Resplendent in their cloaks and Attic helmets, the Praetorian cavalry cut a dashing figures on the tabletop. It wasn’t all looks though – they were capable…
Thanks to the postal delays we’re still seeing in the UK in some regions we missed out on bringing you pics of the new Roman Marines models painted by Dr Phil Hendry. Let us rectify that by showing them off in all their glory! The Romans fielded all manner of specialist troops over their extensive…
This week’s model is the favourite of our Production Manager, Darek the Meerkat (easier to remember than his surname which has rather too many Zs in…). As soon as he mentioned the model we all joined in with plenty of Oohs! and Aahs! as this model is much beloved by all at Warlord HQ. Enough…

You knew it had to come after the runaway success of our Black Powder rules for the Horse & Musket period. Yes, we’re developing a set of rules to play games of Ancients (Biblical right through to early Medieval). There’s not much to say at this stage but take a look at a recent playtest…
Two weeks ago we released the resin models of a Roman General and his faithful war dog. To say these have gone down a storm would be an understatement! Here are two painted examples of this great pairing. First off we’ve got Dr. Phil Hendry’s example which was finished using the Army Painter system. On…
