We got to chat with Paul Sawyer about what is coming up from Warlord Games, across the spectrum of games.
You Could Win – Warlords Of Erehwon Rulebook
What part of the upcoming schedule from Warlord Game has really snagged your attention?
would love this
Looking forward to seeing both the D-Day and Korea source books. Going to have to pick up a Pershing or a Centurion.
The game sounds fun
Been watching WoE, based on the reviews it seems like a game I would enjoy.
mighty are the warlords of erehwon
Korea looks interesting
Rorke’s Drift is the best scenario to play because Gerry said so…… ?
correct
Currently saving my pennies to get the new 4Ground Rorke’s Drift set. So please Warlord are getting behind this in a big way. Looking forward to a full set of “not the characters from the movie”. It is the best scenario because it was historically fascinating and it also has a totally epic film about it as well so you get two ways to play. Perfect.
WoE was catching me
It’s obvious why Rorke’s Drift is best scenario… you get say ‘Don’t chuck bloody spears at me’ in a Michael Caine voice…
Gerry, you need to do a “The best thing about Rourkes Drift…” video, as a homage to the Hero Quest one!
the best thing about Rorke’s Drift is Mealie Bags!
I had to google what they are 🙁
The best thing about Rorke’s Drift is Michael Caine!
I don’t need to google that one!
Those books look great, can’t wait for them both (D-Day especially!) ?
As soon as you said Korea I immediately jumped and said they better do Hawkeye, and then immediately afterward Paul said there was “a” M.A.S.H. unit . . .
Warlord has been killing it! In my opinion they are one of the only companies that does great rules and great minis. A lot of companies only get one of those IMO
Good to see fat bloke again, been too long
wow another busy year for Warlord it seems. Really interested to see their Black Powder supplement for French & Indian War. Very cool stuff
Would be nice to try those rules
Is it just me or have you gotta love Gerry?
I love me
Looks cool.
Korea is a really good idea as I really haven’t seen a lot done with it. As soon as he said mash unit i could feel my wallet getting lighter.
That is a rulebook I would like to get my hands on!
Can’t wait for Korean War Bolt Action. Always wanted to play with the ruleset in a more modern setting.
warlords of ewok?
Because it’s the British ‘300’ moment in history? Do I win? 😀
I can’t comment about Dr Who or Bolt action but I can tell you that Warlords of Nowhere backwards is a fantastic game.
I’ve ben resisting getting into new games… but if I win a book its the same as buying a book and totally allowed…
No news for Gates of Antares, I hear a rumour there might be a Boromite themed campaign book coming out next?
Gerry who does not like some plucky brits surrounded by angry Zulus 1st rank fire 2nd rank fire 3rd rank fire
Swedish missionaries I think were less than impressed by the idea, but everyone else loved it
Going to get every version of the Brig that they do. All of them.
Lol, Gerry’s back at it again!
Not interested at the minis for this game but, i’d welcome a new set of rules for sure!
Totally agree @gerry rorkes drift bloody zulus thousands of em, whats not to love? plus at half time you can get ready for Britain’s got talent impersonating a welsh choir for that authentic look and sound
Looking forward to the new Rorkes Drift set dont think i can afford it though,like to see a isandlwana battle Gerry.
I’m toying with 6 or maybe 10mm for Isandlwana to get the entire battle on the board rather than a little piece of it.
If you did just a piece of the Battle the escape with the colours by Lieutenant Melvill and Coghill may be a interesting game.
Drok’s drift is the best scenario ever because it reminds me of a giant. However I really want to see a plastic Tricorn Hat.
This is simple, because who would not want to spend an afternoon with @avernos playing games.
Been reading the pdf version, but for the table having a printed version would be fantastic…
The Korea sourcebook caught my attention. I read something about this conflice in a military magazine. There is much to be expected from this sourcebook, there are so many things look at. Winter war, landings, trench warfare and all that. I think we´re in for a treat, even if there is no Zulu king. Or drifting about.
I have some troops for the Kagnew Battalion, that is Haile Selassie’s Imperial Guard that was sent to Korea. I’m pretty excited about having North Koreans and Chinese for them to fight. There is not much out there for Korea.
[edit]
Hopefully they make some nice recoilless rifles.
Loved gates of antares so really looking forward to Erehwon
it’s a peach of a system.
Slowly dusts of KOW collection….
Yep Centurion sounds good an the mah unit….
nice.
Shooting the Zulu’s in front of you as opposed to the one’s taking pot shots at you from the hills is a common mistake which the Rorke’s drift game exposes 🙂
🙂
@lloyd would agree
Rourke’s drift is the best thing to get Gerry talking for hours and hours.
The Korea supliment and new line of miniatures is very interesting as well as the ne Zulu era figures.
Warlords of Erehwon has BLOWN up here at my LGS. We are loving it.
Bolt action still the best rule set for historical gaming!
It’s always interesting to see what Warlord are up to.
I was thinking I could actually get some use from my rune Wars miniatures playing Erehwon.
yes that’s a great way of using them…much better than trying to play Runewars 🙂
O’Rorke’s Drift was a great story about how to conduct a battle… – or how not to conduct a battle..
I’d like to see more
@sundancer MASH minis!
Excited to see what comes from Warlord/Saxon miniatures. You can never have enough Vikings!
Oh Nooooooes! (But it’s no system right? there is no game with it… is there?! *panic*)
You should be able to buy the minis on their own or you could get into a game call Bolt Action, which is a WW2 game.
I just need to watch the series again… sadly I can’t find a stream :S
Warlord just keeps knocking it out of the park.
Because Gerry’s made some rules for it.
Zulu, it’s all them spears don’t you know. Warlord are just a fab company that just keeps expanding the envelope. Looking forward to Op OVERLORD.
me too, really looking forward to that.
I seriously need to get my arse into gear a get a konflickt 47 group set up in my flgs
Clearly Warlord have stolen the show. The Royal Hungarians are the bomb. And you are right Gerry, Rorke’s Drift is the ultimate last stand scenario
Rorke’s Drift is the best scenario for wargames, because if you’re not a history aficionado it lends itself to the punny Orks’ Drift for sci-fi or Orcs’ Drift for fantasy.
?
Also on the sci-fi front, depending on your sci-fi universe you can put those British to use as your Space Army for the setting. 😉
Rorke’s who? ?
the man….Rorke’s the man!
This game is very interesting to me. I’m always looking for some kind of modern fantasy system. KoW and the 9th era do not meet my expectations, maybe the Warlord of Erehwon will do it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oblxsj3I8FM
it doesn’t cover it in detail but it will give you an idea, WoE is a skirmish game rather than a massed battle game.
I would really like to give Erehwon a try. All those minis I have amassed over the years would be glad to get some excercise with Ricks rules.
F&I! Love it.
Lots of cool stuff from warlord. Glad i joined their members club i’m gonna need that discount 🙂
A book I’ve been meaning to pick up…
Wow Korea, can’t wait. Already looking into assembling a D-Day airborne so the new book looks like a must. 7 Years War, re-release of Rorke’s Drift (a must) oh, my wallet already hurts.
I am really looking forward to the Bolt Action stuff. The Korean war stuff in particular! I love the MASH unit! The Klinger is aces! It is truly amazing the number of great products these guys produce.
Warlord just keep churning out the good stuff.
They’re people who love wargaming!
warlord again great stuff
Any scenario that has the chance to make Welshmen bust into song is a must play, even if it is only Hollywood accuracies ?
New bank loan in the making,roakes drift best scenario mmmmmm only if we can play against you Gerry!
always open for that.
If Warlord is doing Korean War, I hope we see a tribute to M*A*S*H the TV show. I would love to have Colonel Potter, Hawkeye, Radar, Hot Lips, Klinger, Father Mulcahy, Hunnicutt, and of course Charles Winchester III as miniatures.
Always like seeing what warlord have coming out next.
I’m looking forward to getting the D day book and Korea will be interesting but there’s something special about playing a Rorkes drift battle.
What’s that drift you keep talking about @avernos?
it’s when I wash up at a bar unexpectedly
Looking forward to the Korean book & the UNIT models, especially the brigadier/s
Cool….Im a Warlord Games fan boy….looking most forward to take Pegasus Bridge with my British Airborne in Bolt Action.
Korean War …. Umm.
WoE interestsme, and I suppose you could always do a fantasy Rorke’s Drift with it
nice to see such a speed over all warlords games
WoE has peaked my interest.
Rules for Korea sounds interesting.
curious to try warlords of erehwon and see if its better then Age of Sigmar.
So much shiny stuff.
As for scenarios… Rourke’s Drift can be adapted to so many different game systems and makes for an epic asymmetric game.
busy busy busy – great to see more and more awesome stuff coming out.
Great stuff
Have D-Day on pre-order, and really excited to see Bolt Action move into more recent conflicts. Love the Korea minis, and I’ll have definitely have to pick up a Centurion!
This is definitely my highlight of your Salute coverage so far!
Thats a very interesting games
Warlord are really going great guns, can’t keep up. Huge fan of their games, they are engaging and fun and often play really well straight out of the box so you can pick them up as great side games/mini projects. However, they do have the depth to draw you into wanting to collect more.
Korea book looks interesting, love the 4077th figures.
Erewhon sounds cool
I really want to give Erehwon a go just to get more use of my various fantasy figures. Those zulu war figures look fantastic too
I’ve been looking at WoE for a while, thinking it may be the thing that makes me get my old dwarf army out of the loft and start playing fantasy again.
It’s all really lovely stuff.
I would really like to see a Fall Weiss supplement for Bolt Action. Especially since it’s the 80th anniversary of the start of WWII.
Jets in blood red sky!!
cool looking game
War!odd games has huge ranges now. Love it.
I was just looking at getting this game. Looks really nice.
Yes Please 😀
that game looks fun
Very Nice, Well worth more investigation I think.
WoE rules – Rorkes drift scenery – Fought between a cut off band of LotR style rangers against a horde of Zombies. 🙂
I need to pick up the WoE rulebook at some point. Unless I win it here, of course 😉
Getting WoE would be amazing 🙂
It is epic
Korea looks an interesting period in which to wargame, and that Centurion is a beautiful tank.
Rorkes Drift is just the best because you say so!….plus I agree
Gerry, there is one thing missing in that cabinet to make it perfect. Polish hussars.
I do like this
