Might be miscounting it, but I count 43 minis, the box has enough parts for 40.

Maybe those first 3 are from a command blister or something? The commander and his two "aides" might be metal models added in.

Regardless, this kit is an insane deal, and I'm very glad that they made sure that the army with the most infantry has the best deal on their models (and good ones at that)

I'm going to have to start a russian army just because it's such a good deal

These russians are the first batch of warlord plastic ww2 models that appeal to me. Especially after seeing the painted group from TMP.

@BrookM
It's just 40. 3 groups of 11, 2 gun teams of 2, and the command group of 3.

I counted 40? Either way, it's a good size. I wonder what the price will be?

It's either 43 or 46 bucks if I remember correctly.

I remember it being roughly a dollar a guy. They have the box up for preorder on their website

My starter set arrived yesterday. I've already got a box of Germans, but the US troops are quite nice as well. I'll probably have to get some more. The book though, is a real piece of work. Just Beautiful.

I get 40; 3 x squads of 11 (33) + 4 snipers (37) + 3 command (40)?

Yes, thousand pardons, I miscounted, oh what a silly witch I am, no need for angry PM's.

Hope they release the 88mm FLAK 36 as a plastic set - I want several of them but can't afford £25 a pop.

BAM have always been my WW2 figures of choice, need to get hold of their rules now - another one for the Christmas wishlist...

Same here, though chances are that's going to take a while to get to, as more conventional stuff will be turned into plastic first. Dare I say, T34's and Bren Carriers, those would be great.

Somehow Wayland already has single plastic Hanomags for sale on their site: http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/warlord-games/bolt-action/german-forces/sd-kfz-251/1-ausf-c-hanomag/prod_19116.html

Early War French army list is put out now in celebration of Charles de Gaulle's birthday today: http://www.warlordgames.com/downloads/pdf/Bolt_Action_French_army_list.pdf

As it's his birthday we thought we would make available the basics of the early war French army for Bolt Action. (A full list will be published in a few months time but for now this will allow you to take on the Blitzkrieg!

Question: Has anybody else received their Assault on Normandy boxed set as of yet? I'm still waiting on mine to arrive and this is getting worrying, so much so that I've shot Warlord an email about it.

My local flgs got their stock of starters in over a month ago. Maybe it was a shipping error?

Here's hoping they get back to me tomorrow on that. I checked my address on their site, just in case, but it is all in order.

I got mine from Firestorm about 2 weeks ago now....

Getting some models this Christmas. Looks real fun to play.

Hopefully my Assault on Normandy will show up today, that would be grand.

Anyway, some new Bolt Action releases!

Plastic Hanomag halftrack - £15.00 - http://www.warlordgames.com/30042/new-plastic-bolt-action-sd-kfz-2511-ausf-c-hanomag/

Our first Bolt Action plastic vehicle is now available singly. The iconic Hanomag halftrack is the epitome of the Third Reich’s mechanised forces and now you can add this beautifully detailed and easy to assemble halftrack to your army.

Italians! - http://www.warlordgames.com/30044/new-more-bolt-action-italian-army-available/









American source book now on pre-order - http://www.warlordgames.com/30048/pre-order-bolt-action-armies-of-the-united-states/

The massed forces of Uncle Sam are ready to enter the war be it in the steamy jungles of the Far East, the arid North African desert or the greener but no less deadly environs of mainland Europe! You can now place a pre-order for this, the next Bolt Action supplement!

We even have a free miniature for those so doing…

Oh look, a WWII soldier without a beard or unshaven face for a change!

Those are some really nice releases and if I didn't have a multitude of forces for this in the works already I would be looking at those Italians!

Also fingers crossed for your Normandy set, after looking at this thread for the past month I am beginning to feel very sorry for you!

Thanks, they sent out a new one earlier this week, priority mail and according to the Royal Mail site is has been in country since yesterday, so I'm dearly hoping it comes in today!

Anyway, here's hoping that the US source book has stats for the shotgun!

Marines and some Japz, or Airborne and some panzers....


MMMMM......

How are those tank models to put together, should I use spray paint or an air brush on them?

What type of plastic do they use? is it like a model, or soft plastic?

What type of cement do you use to put those together with? Do the tank and men come in the same type of plastic, or do they come along with the metal ones?


Really interested, might need to make me an Island Board and start island hopping.

Speaking of the Japanese, their army list will be released next week.

Also, Russian army deals are now on-line: http://www.warlordgames.com/30570/new-soviet-army-deals/

Again speaking of the Japanese, found this in the comments section of the following Warlord post:

Warlord wrote:Have we got loads of exciting Bolt Action vehicles coming through now we're into the New Year? Too right - in resin and in plastic!

We'll be posting previews of various vehicles over the next few days - if you are a collector of US, Soviet, Japanese or British armour you'll be rather pleased indeed...

Several jokes about Japanese tanks were made, but a certain chap who goes around the industry circles chipped in with the following:

Rick Priestley wrote:Just sent the Japanese book text off to Osprey!

Hey, Japan time again! This time round, the army list has been released! http://www.warlordgames.com/30710/bolt-action-imperial-japanese-army-list/

Allowing you to field the forces of the Emperor prior to the Armies of Japanese army book, this basic list provides the fundamental elements of Japanese armies to allow you to get stuck in with bayonet and Samurai sword!

There is a full supplement being published later in 2013 but this basic list will allow you to field the fundamental elements of the Imperial Japanese Army until then. For the Emperor!

To go with the army list, there are some Japanese army deals, but those aren't up yet for some reason.

Really need to get my commandos sorted for this. Got the rulebook a month or two ago, but been distracted by Infinity since then.

Japanese army deals, 500 and 1000 points, are now available: http://www.warlordgames.com/30707/new-bolt-action-japanese-army-deals/

And here's the first of Warlord's vehicle previews, a sucky M3 Lee tank for US and Soviet armies..

My order went in today with Christmas cash. Picked up a brown and grey set of dice, A Sherman Firefly, Canadian/ British and German pin markers, Britsh Vickers HMG and a British 3" mortar team.

And a good friend of mine has sent me the rulebook and two starter armies, both Canadian/ British and German. Both look to be around the 1000pt mark + extras.

I am pretty jacked to play this.

How do the starter sets look?

Mat

Wouldn't really call it a starter set, more a bundle deal. :/

You get good stuff in it, but what I was missing was quick-start rules and maybe a wee hobby guide, instead we you get a leaflet telling you what to read in the big rulebook along with a suggestion on what to do with the minis provided.

Also, OP? Could you maybe edit the thread title to include the release of the Japanese army list?

Oh ok

I kinda forgot I was the OP heh

Thanks!

I do like the look of that Japanese army list even though it's so bare bones, I bet it'll become very impressive once the full book is released. I have to admit building a Japanese army is really tempting me, but I think I should probably get plenty of games under my belt with my Germans first.
