Warlord Games Wednesday Hobby
Warlorder Dan H
Midweek greetings! This week's Warlord Wednesday brings us a look at the Desert Rats' campaign in Normandy, along with a new mini-campaign that uses the Company Command special rules, as part of our wider D-Day 75th Anniversary Campaign. 
Jumping forward to the Korean War, we have a look at the 766th Independent Regiment of the Korean People's Army. And with the release of new sculpts for Ghar Outcasts, we're revisiting their role in Ghar society in Beyond the Gates of Antares. We've also some inspiration for your painting with a look at Francesco Thau's fantastic Black Powder regiments.

Vehicles of the 7th Armoured Division (Desert Rats)
The British 7th Armoured Division is one of the most famous ever to have served in the British Army. Born in the desert of North Africa before the outbreak of the war, it would go on to serve in every major theatre of the conflict, culminating in the invasion of Berlin.
 
Form the basis of a 1944 Desert Rats force with these essential tanks:
Cromwell Cruiser Tank

By the time of the D-Day landings, the 7th Armoured Division had been assigned fresh equipment. The Desert Rats were thus armed with three Cromwells per Troop.
 
 

Bane of the heavy German armour, the Sherman Firefly was the British invention that mounted the powerful seventeen-pounder anti-tank gun in a Sherman V.

D-Day 75th Campaign
Find Your Battlefield
It's been a hard-fought week, but the advantage is gradually shifting to the Allies. The Bugle tells all.

Campaign: Pocketed
This week, our scenarios are focusing on the Battle of the Falaise Pocket. The Pocketed mini-campaign uses Company Command special rules in which one player takes command of an infantry company from the 10th SS Panzer Division “Frundsberg,” while the other commands an infantry company from the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division, over the course of three scenarios. The Company Command rules can be found here.
Once you've selected your forces, dive into the first two scenarios. The first, Intractable, deals with the Waffen SS's attempts to check the Canadian advance. Whereas Into Falaise! sees the allied forces attempt to force a German rout from the town of Falaise itself.
Scenario: Intractable
Scenario: Into Falaise!

Look out for the concluding scenario on Friday!

766th Independent Regiment KPA
KPA NCO

Formed in 1948 with the purpose to specialize in commando and amphibious actions, the 766th Independent Regiment KPA led the attack on South Korea.
 
766th Independent Regiment KPA

Nearly all these soldiers were veterans of fighting in China during the Chinese Civil War and were highly trained in amphibious and irregular warfare, the perfect combination for commando-style raids in the vanguard of the larger army.

This 500 point unit would excel at infiltration, using their Superior Fieldcraft rule.
Beyond the Gates of Antares
Ghar Outcast with Disruptor Cannon
Ghar Outcasts are the lowest of the low in Ghar society, possibly even lower than that. They have been robbed of any status amongst their kind and condemned to undertake the most menial and dangerous of tasks. Fighting as an Outcast is a sentence that few survive and even fewer escape from to regain their former lives.
 
Black Powder Second Edition
Spotlight: Inspirational Painting- Francesco Thau

Francesco has turned his hand to a number of different regiments in our Black Powder Napoleonic Era range. The models are stunning, they have to be seen!

Do you have any armies, regiments or even single models from any of our ranges that you're particularly proud of? We want to see them! Send your pictures to:

We're always looking to be inspired!
