Hannibal Barca Joins Warlord Games’ Soldier Of Fortune Range
July 2, 2024 by brennon
Warlord Games have announced their newest Soldier Of Fortune miniatures for the month of July. Sticking with the theme of Ancient armies marching to war, we have Hannibal Barca - Scourge Of Rome for use in your 28mm wargames like Hail Caesar.

This is another of their Warlord Resin figures, this time focused around the mighty Carthaginians who looked to bring Rome to its knees. This miniature represents Hannibal Barca ordering his troops in the heat of battle, a legendary warrior and tactician. He also comes with his shield-bearer who is ready to arm him at a moment's notice.

I'm sure that a lot of folks are going to be picking up this miniature to slot into their Hail Caesar armies but they might also be working on this simply as a neat painting project. Considering the amount of focus on the Punic Wars over the last while, it makes sense that the miniature for this month would be suitably fitting for the period.
Could you be tempted by this miniature of Hannibal Barca?

His shield bearer has the head and hands of a GW Ogre. Why?
Another failed Warlord sculpt.
At 15mm you have to exaggerate a little.
Except it’s 28mm… zero excuse for this travesty!
My bad I assumed it was another Epic Sculpt. In that case then yep that mini is a monstrosity
While certainly hideous I think the real travesty here (it might just be the paint job) is how old Hannibal looks considering the mini doesn’t look like it’s missing an eye. Hannibal lost an eye when he was 30-31.
Definitely should give his mustache blue or brown highlights, not grey, and probably have less contrast on the face, with a lighter skin tone just to convey youth. And maybe put little bolts on the side of his attendant’s neck.
Got to be one of the more “weird” horse proportions done by Warlord of late (although thankfully nowhere near as bad as the Korean War Mongol Cav they did). Noticed the photographer did his/her best to try and disguise the mess they made of it by use of the camera angles.
I hadn’t seen those models before…just went and looked. Oofff. That’s rough. They look like they’re riding extra furry dogs. I know Mongol ponies are small but yikes. These horses are not good
