John Stallard, Warlord Games CEO explains, "We set up Warlord only 6 months ago, but using the contacts and experience that we have built up over the last 25 years in the model soldier business, and having worked for the biggest and best, we have made sure we have used great sculptors, the best plastic kit technologists and the most wonderful artists to create some truly exciting, inspirational models! Warlord is where history meets fantasy, and we believe that our growing range of plastic and metal models will set new standards of quality and innovation."

Previews of the miniatures have been met with the highest of responses. "We have an aggressive release schedule and fans will be able to purchase plastic Roman Praetorian Guard and Celts early this summer." From a forthcoming historical miniatures system called Black Powder by gaming icon Rick Priestley to articles and in-house promotions by renowned former White Dwarf Magazine editor, Paul Sawyer, Warlord Games is here to stay...

Many fans have already seen a sample of the Warlord Games miniatures as a free plastic Legionary was attached to the May issue of Wargames Illustrated, one of the world's leading miniatures publications. Between the magazine giveaway and attendance at shows they have given away over 12,000 plastic Romans - more than two whole Roman legions worth!.
