Warlord Games is a British miniatures and wargame publisher, based in Nottingham, UK.

For example, Donald Featherstone, in his 2010 book Battle Notes for Wargamers, cites the rules used in Black Powder as especially suitable for recreations of the Battles of Wynendael,[1]: 64  Prestonpans,[1]: 74  Guilford Courthouse,[1]: 84  Maida,[1]: 94  Aliwal,[1]: 103  Wilson's Creek,[1]: 112  Little Big Horn,[1]: 122  and Modder River.

Their games are well-known enough that they were used several times by Rick Priestley and John Lambshead in their 2016 book Tabletop Wargames: A Designers' and Writers' Handbook to illustrate various points.

"[2]: 48  Likewise, Priestley and Lambshead use Bolt Action to explore nested systems of sequential mechanics, giving as the example "shooting that results in one or more hits (primary rolls) results in a morale effect (represented by a 'pin' state) even where all those hits fail to cause casualties (secondary rolls).

"[2]: 50 In the same way, Javier Gomez in his 2015 book Painting Wargaming Figures, used figurines produced by Warlord Games as examples to demonstrate various ways to paint historically accurate figurines for use with specific battles, including a Thirty Years War gun and crew,[3]: 224  a Roman centurion[3]: 285  and a Celtic warrior.
