We’ve all seen hints at the ‘new’ class, we’ve see it’s name on a few lists, but we were still wondering - who is this and what can he do? Well Design and Development laid out the Warlord class for us and frankly I was a little surprised. They took the Marshall - originally appearing in the Miniatures Handbook - and repackaged him.
