Warlord Games Tease A New Fantasy World Warlords Of Erehwon
November 23, 2018 by brennon
The teasers that they launched this week lead us to think that Warlord Games is working on a new Fantasy game/world called Warlords Of Erehwon.
Here are the two teaser trailers below which look toward the Undead rising within the world...
...and an Orcish horde which is also massing too.
Whilst the game world might be new the actual kits themselves look like the old Wargames Factory ones which were created way back in the day. They are still good kits, even now, and it's neat that Warlord appears to be doing something with them and branching out into Fantasy too.
Will you be keeping an eye on this?

I hope this is fantares, the fantasy game rick priestly made using bolt action/Antares rules as the basis
it is
Thanks @avernos that answered my question too ….. that’s great news 🙂
I will be watching this with interest.
Those undead look like the very original GW plastic onez
I think they’re the Wargames Factory ones that they snapped up a while back which no doubt drew from those older ones.
Probably. The open mouth look made me think of the them
Agreed with @brennon ; they look like the Harryhausen style skellies Wargames Factory did, hence the open mouths (willing to bet the old GW skellies drew on the same source material, hence the similar look).
they are indeed the WGF Orcs and skellies finally getting a re-release
Erehwon is Nowhere spelt backwards. Probably doesn’t mean anything
Warlord humor 😉
Located east of the kingdom of Erehwemos and south of the kingdom of Erehwyna, and near Esleecalpemos, which is a democracy.
?
I’m trying to find out if this is licensed IP. Erehwon is also the name of Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd & The Grey Mouser’s fantasy world.
Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser was Nehwon
Of course! Thanks for that.
This came out of _nowhere_ …
If this is Fantares, colour me interested.
Nice skeletons the Asian ? Orks look interesting
Greek Skeletons akin to the Argonaut ones I think
I think he was asking about the orcs. 😉
Yes the hat’s Look weard I do really like the skeletons but.
That looks interesting.
The Warlord newsletter confirms the rules are written by Rick Priestley
Hopefully it might have the same sense of irony and fun that his initial offerings from GW had
Excited for the rules.
Hopefully we’ll see newer models out of Warlord. Can’t stand WF models.
This looks cool. I’m glad to see the reappearance of the WF plastics. I’ve been waiting for the orcs to come back for ages. They are “inspired” by the orcs Angus McBride drew for the MERP covers in the 1980s. Denizes of the Dark Wood was the specific one if memory serves. They will be front and centre in my Mordor army regardless of whether I go on to play the new game or not. Undead Samurai might tempt me in though and I suppose you could kit bash that from the other old WF kits that Warlord do.
Interested to see if the do actuall fantasy humans for this or if they reuse hail ceaser/pike and shotte minis, but I worry that this will be another case similar to project z where they squirt out some stuff and then find something else to do…
I like the Skeletons . Not too sure what I’ld use them for mind you . Maybe a Jason & the Argos type diorama , with a handful of hero types and a box of these guys clawing their way out of the earth to attack them . Right then , put me down for a box
Interested if the figs. go well together. Love the skelly’s
