Warlord Games Unveil Their New Soldier of Fortune

A miniature figure of Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart VC is depicted in a dynamic pose, raising a revolver in one hand while wearing a military uniform complete with a long coat and a peaked cap adorned with insignia. The figure stands on a circular base featuring tufts of grass and earthy terrain, emphasizing a battlefield setting. The detailed paintwork highlights his facial features, including a mustache and sunglasses, capturing a spirited and commanding presence.

May is almost upon us, and that means it’s time for Warlord Games’ new Soldier of Fortune.

Revealed today on the Warlord Games website, May’s Soldier of Fortune is Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart VC. For those who don’t know who that is (as I didn’t), de Wiart was a Belgium soldier who fought for the British army. By the end of his career he’d fought in the Boer War, First World War, and Second World War and been shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip, and ear. There were also more letters after his name than there are on a plate of alphabetti spaghetti.
