Warlord Games
Warlord Games is a British miniatures and wargame publisher based in Nottingham, founded in 2007 by former Games Workshop employees John Stallard and Paul Sawyer. The company’s first production was a set of Roman legionary models, and it has since grown into one of the most prolific publishers in the historical wargaming space. Warlord Games’ most popular title is Bolt Action, a 28mm World War II tabletop wargame designed by industry legends Alessio Cavatore and Rick Priestley. Bolt Action uses an innovative order dice system that creates tense, unpredictable gameplay and covers all major theatres and nations of the Second World War with an extensive miniature range of infantry, vehicles, artillery and terrain.
Beyond WWII, Warlord Games publishes rule systems and miniatures covering a wide span of historical periods. Hail Caesar handles ancient and medieval warfare, Black Powder covers the horse-and-musket era from the English Civil War through to the Napoleonic Wars and the American Civil War, and Cruel Seas provides fast-paced coastal naval combat. The company also produces Blood Red Skies for WWII aerial combat and Victory at Sea for naval warfare. All ranges feature 28mm scale miniatures in hard plastic, resin and metal, with infantry boxed sets typically containing 25-30 multi-part figures with extensive weapon and equipment options for customisation.
