These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to Angelopolis underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, If no one else can help and if you can find them. Maybe you can hire, The Alpha Team.I was thinking about John "Anibal" Smith (from that famous 80's teleserie) as an example of warlord-like character. ---The videogame Overwatch can show several examples of supporter heroes but without a true leader role in the plot part.A true warlord couldn't be a simple "I order and you obey". That doesn't work like this. In the real life in a batlefield a "toxic boss" could "suffer an accident". The "leader" should worry about money and supplies.Maybe in the next years Avalon Hill will dare to publish a skirmish miniature game style Mordheim, and later a videogame adaptation within D&D-B VTT.If WotC dreams with a 5e version of Miniature handbook, or a D&D miniature game, then the future warlord will be reserverd for then.In D&D battlefield soldiers can't stop to drink a healing potion in the middle of the fight, but.... a warlord could use a magic banner with some healing aura for allies. but this only would work for the worst injuries. This could explain the reason because the warlord could use magic healing even not being a true spellcaster.Now I am thinking about a combo of warlord + warmage classes. This warmage wouldn't be only a sorcerer with light armour, but more like the warlord's magical squirel, loading magic banner or using languange spell to talk with other people. This warmage would use a different spellcasting, the "arcane techniques", like the martial maneuvers from Tome of Battle: Book of the Nine Swords, like at-will powers but needing a Concentration check before reloading, and with ranged effect. Most of times the magic would be used to reload magitek crossbows.</blockquote>
