Wargames Illustrated has released a new Giants In Miniatures figure for you to snap up and paint. This new 28mm miniature is the Swiss Horn Blower, blowing the battle horn to sow fear amongst their enemies.

As pointed out by the folks at Wargames Illustrated, the Swiss didn't go in for individual heroes but often you'd see a Swiss Horn Blower popping up in artwork from the Medieval period. These horns were a psychological weapon that would sow fear amongst their enemies. The Horn Blower pictured here also carries a two-handed sword so they are ready for action.

The choice of armour for the figure marks him out as part of the colour guard or the "forlorn hope". A great miniature for you to slot into your regiments with plenty of earnest soldiers around him, ready to die for their country.
