Toot The Horn Of Wargames Illustrated’s New Giant In Miniature
December 16, 2024 by brennon
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.
Are you going to be picking up this new miniature?

The picture doesn’t quite work. Maybe if the figures in the background were smaller.
Haha! Just noticed that – what is this, an ant horn blower?
This one isn’t for me but it is nice to see WI still adding to this range, there are some belters in it and the casts have all been top notch on the ones I’ve picked up in the past.
