Day late, but here we go.

Siberian Veterans



First seen at Salute in London earlier this year, our Siberian Veterans have been eagerly awaited ever since. The armies of the Third Reich are about to have a bad day as they are now released!

Epitomising what Hitler referred to as the ‘Asiatic Hordes’, the Siberians were battle-hardened from their service in the conflict against Japan in the east.

Coming as a rude shock to the forces of the Third Reich, the veteran Siberian troops fell upon the over-extended German forces. They were used in mass assaults hurling themselves into the German lines fully prepared to fight in close quarters, wielding wicked knives and using their entrenching tools to terrible effect.

Raised from the forces in the far east of the Soviet Union they were used to deprivation and hardship, and their stamina in the the deep, hostile snows in their homeland was a constant source of amazement to their foe.

This boxed set contains a mixed force of Siberian troops led by a commissar exhorting his troops with the aid of a loudhailer, all eager to fight the German invaders for Stalin and holy Mother Russia!

Siberian Veterans contains:

Enough plastic and metal components to make 34 battle-hardened Soviet Union infantry miniatures. Includes a host of options to allow for different weapon configurations and command models.
Weapons included: Maxim machine gun, Mosin-Nagant rifle (scoped, with bayonet and without), PTRD Anti-tank rifle, submachine guns (PPS-43 , PPSh-41 and PPD-40), Mosin-Nagant carbine, DT-28 light machine gun, Tokarev semi-automatic rifle (and bayonet version), pistols and rifle grenade launcher. Also includes captured Panzerfaust and MP40 SMG!
Round plastic bases (25mm diameter).
Background leaflet.



Updated! Blitzkrieg German plastics pre-order

As release fast approaches we have some fabulous painted shots of our latest and arguably our best plastic box set so far. These images demonstrate just a few of the many assembly options available for these classic German infantryman of World War II.



Representing the classic image of the German infantryman during World War II, these miniatures are equipped with knee-high jackboots, unadorned ‘coalscuttle’ helmet and a martial discipline that took them to almost complete dominance of mainland Europe.

Whilst the glory often went to the armoured knights of the panzer divisions, the infantry were the spine of the Wehrmacht. Germany’s cunning use of Blitzkrieg tactics conquered Poland, swept through the Low Countries and defeated France, before turning their attention to the Soviet Union. Soviet forces were pushed all the way to Moscow as the relentless march of Hitler’s landsers swept all before them.

Well-led, superbly trained and equipped with the finest infantry weapons in the world, the German infantryman was a skilled and dangerous foe capable of thinking for themselves if needed, giving them a significant advantage over their foes. Vorwärts!

Blitzkrieg German Infantry contains:
• Enough plastic components to make 30 German infantry miniatures. Includes a host of options to allow for different weapon configurations and command models.
• Weapons included: Kar 98K rifle, MP38/MP40 sub-machine gun, Luger pistol, MG34 light machine gun, Kar 98K with attached bayonet, stick grenades, scoped Kar 98K rifle.
• Round plastic bases (25mm diameter).
• Construction leaflet.

Box contains 30 plastic foot figures which require assembly with glue. Models supplied unassembled and unpainted


New: Panzer II Ausf. A/B/C

This week sees our Panzer II return to the front lines. This brand new master model replaces the previous Pz II we had on sale and can be used to represent Ausf. A, B or C variants fighting during the Blitzkrieg in Europe and the Russian Front, in North Africa and Italy.

The new model features open and closed commander’s hatches giving you a greater choice of how you wish to represent your tank. The open hatches have tab attached making it easier to glue them into place and as a result you won’t be having them fall off during games! This is a feature we are rolling out to our new vehicles as they come through.

Don’t forget that with our Wheels of Steel special offer, when you buy three or more vehicles (of any type) and receive an automatic 10% discount off them! You’d be mad not to take advantage…



New: German Sd.Kfz 234/3 armoured car

The second Bolt Action resin vehicle to be released this week is the Sd.Kfz 234/3 armoured car. This is the third in the 234 series to be released, following on from the 2cm Sd.Kfz 234/1 and Sd.Kfz 234/2 Puma armoured cars. The Sd.Kfz 234/3, had an open-topped superstructure replacing the usual turret on the Sd.Kfz 234/1 and mounted a 75mm gun. Fielded by the German army in the latter years of the war, it’s manoeuvrability and potent gun was valuable addition to the Third Reich’s armies.



New: US Army 75mm pack howitzer

Providing long range fire support for US Army commanders, the 75mm pack howitzer makes it’s way into battle raining shells from above onto the enemies of Uncle Sam!

The 75mm howitzer saw combat during the Second World War with the US Army, being designed in such a way that it could be broken down into several pieces and carried by pack animals, hence it’s name.

The early war Germans look absolutely fantastic, can't wait to get my hands on them. 30 in a box sounds like 2 full squads, a command team and at least a couple of specialist/support teams to me. Hopefully the weapon sprue will have enough bits to be able to do that.

This is what Warlord did with their box contents:



Three infantry squads with LMG's and NCO SMG, a sniper team and a small officer team, which if going by the logic that these are not veterans yet, gives you a nice platoon worth 439 pts with some room to spare for some extras, maybe a HMG or mortar to round things out at 500 pts.

Please stop using that racial slur.

And yes, if you would check the site you'd see that there is both a budding Marine and Japanese miniature range present. The USMC range is more or less done for now, though the Japanese range is slowly growing with the addition of a few tanks in preparation for the Armies of Japan book coming later this year.

New: Soviet ISU-122 tank destroyer!

The ISU-122 was used as a powerful assault gun, a self-propelled howitzer and a long-range tank destroyer, with the primary application being as a tank destroyer.

With the same hull as the IS-2 it had good armour performance noticeably so against high-explosive rounds.




New: Soviet ISU-152 self-propelled artillery!

ISU-152 was a Soviet multirole fully enclosed and armoured assault gun or armoured self-propelled gun, also capable of serving as a heavy tank destroyer. As a heavy assault gun, the ISU-152 was an extremely valuable weapon in urban combat operations.



It’s excellent armour protection provided the platform with good protection from most German anti-tank guns, allowing it to advance into the face of direct anti-tank fire, while the huge low velocity high-explosive rounds were excellent at blasting open even the most heavily fortified and reinforced enemy strongpoints.


New: Italian Bersaglieri in sun hats

The Bersaglieri or marksmen are a corps of the Italian Army originally created serve in the Piedmontese Army, later to become the Royal Italian Army.

The first Bersaglieri to see combat in North Africa was the 10th Bersaglieri Regiment. They arrived in Libya in early 1941 with the traditional black capercaillie feathers decorating their sun hats.

I'm sure they'll get around to the Winter War eventually, they are slowly bulking out the early war range now with their plastic Germans and hopefully sooner or later, plastic DAK by the Perry Twins.

But it shouldn't be too hard to recreate the Winter War, just not too sure about special characters, it is a mechanic they haven't implemented or explored with the system, nor do I think it would really work all too well without uprooting the entire system.

Bare minimum you need 2 infantry squads and a command team. Depending on how you kit them out, that's anywhere from 200-400pts. A box or two of infantry and a tank would probably be a good start. From there you could get a medic, mortars, MMG's, armored cars, howitzers, AT guns, or any other cool toys that strike your fancy. Most people play 1000pts so it's not too hard on the wallet to get a good force up and running.

I use mainly infantry and the bulk of my force is made up of the contents of 2 German Grenadier boxes. This is for a mostly veteran list though. The rest I augment with spotters, airforce observers, flamethrowers, Panzershrecks, and medics.

Though this is enough to look over and see if it is something my group would like.

New: British A10 Cruiser Tank MKII

The British A10 Cruiser Tank MKII was developed alongside the A9, with the intention of creating a heavier, infantry tank version of the same type. However during testing it was not deemed suitable for the infantry tank role and was classified instead as a “heavy cruiser”.



Mark IIs were part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) sent to France in the early stages of World War II and were still being used later in North Africa at the defence of Tobruk in 1941, where reliability and suspension performance in the desert conditions was praised.

From early campaigns in Europe to the deserts of North Africa and the jungles of the Far East, the Armies of Great Britain covers wherever the British forces faced the Axis threat, including rules for the A10 Cruiser Tank MKII.


New: US Marine Corps HQ & Squad

This week sees the reconfiguration of our US Marine Corps range bringing it in line with how units are structured in Bolt Action and just in time to have your force painted, ready and waiting for the Imperial Japanese Army when it arrives in a few weeks!



New: US Marine .30 cal teams



New: US Marine support weapons

Metals are the same size and proportion as the plastics, their weapons are a wee bit chunkier though and they may stand a millimeter or two taller because of the metal bases they are cast on. But all in all, you can freely swap heads between the plastics and metals without noticing much of a difference, if any at all.

Okay, newsletter time!

New: German Motorcycle (1939-1942)

Although we recently rereleased our German Motorcycle, it has caused us some problems due to the number of parts involved – something you said you would rather see reduced. So, taking that feedback on board Wojtek has revamped the models!

The new motorcycle is now a single casting rather than several. Wojtek has also taken upon himself to produce new riders, including a pinion passenger! As you’ve come to expect, these have separate Figure Heads, so you can chop and change as you build your army to your preference.

Our diminutive putty pusher is now talking about sculpting riders for other German forces, so keep your eyes on our newsletter, Facebook page and Twitter feed for more news…



New: Kradschützen Motorcycle and Sidecar (1939-1942)

In addition to the newly released German Motorcycle, this week sees the return of another German motorcycle – this time with sidecar! As with the motorcycle, we have simplified the model into far less parts, making it easier to cast, quicker to build and more sturdy on the tabletop – win!

Warlord Games sculptor Wojtek (he’s Polish, you know…) has added separate panniers as well as resculpting the rider and sidecar passenger. The result looks great and we know you’ll appreciate the improvements to this kit.



New: Soviet Army Zis-2 57mm anti-tank gun

Helping to blunt the advance of the Third Reich’s armoured divisions is this new Soviet anti-tank gun – the Zis-2.



The ZiS-2 is a Soviet 57-mm anti-tank gun used throughout World War II. ZiS stands for “Zavod imeni Stalina” or “Factory named after Stalin”, the official title of Artillery Factory No. 92, which produced the gun first.

A reliable gun during the early years of the war, it was less potent against German heavy tanks later in the war.


New: British Wasp Flamethrower carrier

This week sees the return to action of an old favourite – the Wasp flamethrowing carrier! With completely remastered running gear and the removal of the od integral base, the new Wasp model looks as great as it is deadly in the games of Bolt Action!

Based on the ubiquitous universal, or Bren, carrier the Wasp was a modified version carrying a flamethrower. Dreaded by Jerry!



Wasps were used by the Armoured and Infantry divisions with up to 6 in the independent machine gun companies, though they would usually operate in pairs.
