Meet Robin Hood & His Merry Men Thanks To Warlord Games
May 1, 2015 by brennon
Warlord Games have got three additional surprises for you this week and a nod to their home town of Nottingham here in the UK. See what you make of Robin Hood, Little John and Friar Tuck...
Robbing From The Rich...
First up we have the great bowman himself firing his arrow high into the air. I'm not won over by the pose and it would have been a bit nicer to see the model close up to see him in greater detail but he certainly as the look of the bandit...
Robin Hood was a dispossessed Earl who decided to hit back against the injustice of Prince John by robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. He became one of the most famous mythical outlaws in folklore and has feature in movies and other forms of media for years.
As well as Robin Hood we have Little John, his best friend and companion, and Friar Tuck who will be no doubt brewing up a fresh batch of ale for them to drink when they're back from a hard days pilfering.
Little John was ironically named because of his giant stature. He fought in scraps with his bow and a massive quarter staff that matched his seven foot tall size. He's quite the deadly outlaw too.
Once again I think that it would have been nicer to get a closer look at the models and the stance of Little John is a tad off putting but Friar Tuck is looking great.
I think it would be fun to come up with a neat scenario based game with these models and have them trying to find their way into the city of Nottingham and steal away with some goods before they get found by the guards.
What do you think?

You can always rely on Robin to get you out of a tight spot…
He knows the way of the tights 🙂
Those are rather good.
These would be cool highwaymen for ‘Empire in flames’ you know, the Mordheim supplement.
just curious about about the choice of hard white highlights.
Also I’d like BoW to add Bold flashing underlined caps lettering to the word Mordheim so we don’t have to imagine and connect my cleverness on our own.
Cool miniatures!
Little John’s buried in a village near me, Hathersage in Derbyshire 🙂
I’m sorry but I’m still trying to work out what Robin is actually doing in that awkward position.
For such an iconic figure I’m disappointed.
Legend says that Robin’s spoke of his last wish as he lay dying, which was to be buried where his arrow landed.
He nocked a final arrow and let loose.
Robin Hood is interred in the ceiling of a room in Kirklees Abbey, near Huddersfield, West Yorks.
Robin’s shooting at these guys of course 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSo0duY7-9s
Well as his nose is still on his face I guess he hasn’t loosed yet 🙂
These are a bit of a miss for me. And a fiver each is a bit steep compared to Warlord’s usual prices.
I don’t think the paint jobs help the models. Honestly, I’d prefer the look of Conquest Games Robin Hood stuff
