Paul Hicks is a veteran miniatures sculptor with a wealth of experience in the act and art of sculpting.

We have been talking about Bolt Action Third Edition for a while now, but now it is time to bring in the man himself, the game's author, Alessio Cavatore. Please join us as talk about the game's new edition and everything that it brings to the tabletop.

  Paul Sawyer, co-founder of Warlord Games, has been gravely ill for four months following a collapse at the Salute show in London earlier this year. While he remains in high spirits and surrounded by family, his health will prevent him from returning to work. John Stallard, Sawyer's business partner and friend, reminisced about their […]

Warlord has done an amazing job of giving us lots of information about Bolt Action Third Edition in its spoiler articles but what if we discussed something that has not been spoiled yet? That's right, today we are talking about what organised play will look like for Bolt Action Third Edition with the man behind the teaser articles himself, Marcus Vine from Warlord Games.

Greg talks to author and game designer Mark Backhouse about a 2013 article written in WSS Magazine called "Hail Agrippa." That article is freely available here, from WSS. A decade ago, Mark turned to Warlord Games' "Hail Caesar" rules when seeking out a mass battle, ancient naval system. With a few modifications, he turned the popular land-battle system into a trireme-smashing, quinquereme good time! In this interview, Mark talks about how he modified an existing game and what philosophy he brings to projects like this. He also discusses his own rule development and what he's working on next! Mark is very active posting wargaming content to social media and is also a prolific author in Wargames, Soldiers, & Strategy. You can find more "Hail Agrippa" coverage in the latest summer issue of the magazine, where Mark & Greg co-authored a 6-part ancient naval campaign for the Philippi Campaign.  We hope you enjoy Episode #51 of Little Wars FM! And if you missed our Actium wargame on YouTube, be sure to visit Little Wars TV and watch the tabletop game. Did Antony and Cleopatra rewrite history? You'll find out!

WE HAVE THE THIRD EDITION RULEBOOK IN HAND! Today, I am very excited to say that we are beyond working off of the teaser articles, we have the full, new edition book. Today we are going to speak with Marcus, one of the final play testers of the game, about the new edition and we get to talk about all the hot topics that everyone has been wondering about. Please join us for this VERY SPECIAL episode of the Warlord Games Official Podcast!

The Ghost Army Podcast is back with a serious discussion of the Bolt Action Third Edition Vehicles, Morale and No Free Units spoiler articles from Warlord Games. Along the way we spill a few things and Brad might pull out a soapbox at one point... We also tackle listener questions about themed listing and the future of Campaign Books going into the new edition of the game.

Back form a long break we spend some time talking about the upcoming NOVA Open 2024 and the prevalence of smaller scales in the major wargaming companies.The title is based off the Richard Feynman quote about the utility of atomic scale physics. I drew a direct correlation between game companies pushing down into the smaller scales instead of ever upward.

Its that time of year again where the gang meet up in our terrace bin yard to chew the fat on the hobby in general. Today I'm joined by regular guests Alex Sotheran from Storm of Steel and Iain McDonald from Flags of War, we have a quick catch up whilst Alex saves up the money for his internet connection before he tells us how he became the "face" of Warlord Games. Its then time for the panel to ratify the recent entries into Wargames Room 101 before moving on to draw Rounds 1 and 2 of the World Cup of Historical Wargames Miniature Manufacturers and yes the Perrys are in it ! We then finish of with the usual #askournora listeners questions where we discuss weighty topics like which pizza topping we would be. Hope you enjoy, as always with these shows they are not for the faint hearted and best listened to in a darkened cellar with soundproofing. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

We often talk about tournaments as the main type of organised events that allow players to gather and play Bolt Action together, this excludes many other exciting way to enjoy this game with others. Today we speak with the folks behind a fantastic D Day commemorative event that brought like minded gamers together in a new, fun and innovative way.

Look, we know that as much as our listeners swear that they are historically minded, who doesn't love a little Weird War WW2? Join us as the team talks about what they would want in a BRS addition to Konflikt 47, Warlord Games' Weird War title. Will Emperor Chambers hear our petitions as he sits on the Golden Throne?

It's time to address the elephant in the room! Warlord Games recently announced an exciting new game for their existing Epic Battles line, Hail Caesar. Today I am joined by Ben Hampshire, one of the main contributors to the project to discuss how the Punic Wars can be played out on the tabletop at an Epic Scale.

This week I am joined by the authors to discuss Warlord's awesome new tank game, Achtung Panzer!

There have been a lot of people asking a lot of questions about Warlord's upcoming tank battle game, Achtung Panzer! We have heard you! Today we start a series of episodes to tell you all about this awesomely fun new game.

We know that you all have tons of 28mm tank models just laying around. They're probably still in the box like Matt's A-4 Skyhawks! If you are looking for a way to get them on the table in a less infantry-centric game than Bolt Action, look no further than Achtung Panzer from Warlord Games. Doug, Steve and Brett sit down with Roger Gerrish, the developer who brough this “club game” to life for Warlord and helped them in their evil plans to SELL MOAR TANKZ! (we joke) (only a little) But check out this great song from Raubtier that will make you want to run out and BUY MOAR TANKZ! https://youtu.be/aW2UksFbedA Raubtier on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raubtiersweden/ Achtung Panzer in the Warlord Store: https://us.warlordgames.com/collections/achtung-panzer As always, check out our store for the latest in Blood Red Skies and Aerial Wargaming miniatures, accessories and more! https://www.leadpursuit.net/store

We have a bit of a treat for you on this episode of the Warlord Games Official Podcast. People often discuss a game's "meta" and what the hot units in a game are and they often discuss how that "meta" changes between countries and regions. Today I am joined by the Tournament Organiser and the winner of Australia's biggest Bolt Action event, Cancon, to closely examine the actual numbers and percentages of units taken and what this indicates for the Australian Meta as a whole. We also discuss what makes Bolt Action events special and why you, yes you, should be thinking about playing in them.
