They looks to be simply repackaged army painter sprays. Should be easy enough to figure out which of the regular range to buy.

**BrookM**

Aye, they have the same can design as Army Painter, here's hoping these aren't as crappy as the Flames of War primers, those have a tendency to leak propellant through the bottom over time.

So how are Americans supposed to order those sprays? Surely they would have some in the American Warehouses so we can order them?

Because those 3 sprays would save me a ridiculous amount of time on painting my flames of war and Bolt Action armies.

From the Warlord Facebook:

We've already begun to supply distributors and retailers worldwide so you should be able to get hold of them very soon.

**MrMoustaffa**

Awesome

**Alpharius**

That is great news!

Now, more updates on this:

US Marines stuffs (Books, plastic kits, etc...): Late October/Early November

Pre-order: Bolt Action Armies of Italy and the Axis!

We’re now taking pre-orders for the Armies of Italy and the Axis Bolt Action supplement!

While many nations flocked to the side of the Allies, others joined forces with Germany as part of the Axis. This volume is the definitive guide to the armies of Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Finland. Fight the Winter War against the Soviets, hold back the British in North Africa, or help shore up the German offensives on the Eastern Front with this latest supplement for Bolt Action. Includes historical information, detailed army lists as well as rules for assembling forces from specific theatres.

A copy of the Bolt Action rulebook is needed to use this 96 page full-colour supplement.

As with all of our Bolt Action armies books, you also receive a free and exclusive figure – in this case, the model is of Simo Häyhä (AKA The White Death), a Finnish sniper who recorded the highest number of kills in any war – 505. Currently being sculpted by Paul Hicks, we’ll bring you images soon!

Released November 2013, orders placed with pre-order items included will be held until the release date. If you want your other products earlier please place a separate order so we can ensure you get your goodies as early as possible!

New: Bolt Action Vickers light tanks for the Western Desert

Desert variants of the Vickers Mk VIB and VIC light tank are now ready for deployment!

The Mk VI light tank was one of the mainstays of the British army during the early stages of World War II. As it was one of the few tanks in full production before hostilities commenced it saw widespread use, including India and other British colonies.

While a large number of Mk VIs fought in the Battle of France as part of the British Expeditionary Force, and they were also fielded in Crete and Greece, these new models are equipped for the North African Western Desert campaign. As such, they come with additional track guards and extra stowage.

This resin and metal kit comes complete with a British tank commander figure.

More images available in the web store!

New: Bolt Action US Army M5 3″ anti-tank gun

US forces can now decimate enemy armour with this newly released anti-tank gun!

Designed in 1940, the M5 3″ anti-tank gun combined the barrel of the 3-inch anti-aircraft gun T9 with the breech, recoil system and carriage from the 105 mm howitzer M2. Though heavy to manhandle, it gave US crews significantly better anti-tank capabilities than previous guns. Usually towed by M3 half-tracks, the M5 was mainly assigned to Tank Destroyer battalions, seeing action in North-West Europe and the Italian campaign.

New: German Vehicle Stowage & Cargo accessory packs

Add some authentic detail to your battles with these stowage and cargo packs for German forces.

Featuring ammo crates, rifles, fuel cans, spare wheels, track links and all sorts of other supplies, they are perfect for adding to vehicle hulls, large model bases, as well as scenery pieces. They are particularly useful for lending some individuality to otherwise identical models, adding character and helping you keep track of different vehicles in the heat of battle!

More Bolt Action Construction Diagrams

Here are the latest offerings from our ongoing constuction diagram project: the M24 Chaffee light tank, the Cromwell Mk IV Cruiser tank, the Sherman V tank and SS-Obersturmfuhrer Tiger I with Michael Wittmann. Time to get building…

**Nick Ellingworth**

A lot of good stuff this week, looks like the Italy and Axis book is going to be pretty good. I certainly look forward to reading it as I've always found the smaller powers very interesting, hmm I wonder if my Germans could use some Hungarian allies......

**BrookM**

There's no "allied" system yet, but that shouldn't stop you from using something yourself, just confer with your opponent beforehand.

**MrMoustaffa**

Interested to see the new models, since I don't believe they have anything for most of the minor axis powers on their website yet.

**BrookM**

So far it's just Italians, but the other armies will no doubt receive their own kits or upgrade kits with time. After all, quite a few of them used mostly German kit, so it shouldn't be too hard to convert up some Axis troops to go with Jerry.

Does anyone know who the author is of the Italians and Axis book by any chance?

As mentioned yesterday, available for pre-order this coming Friday is the truly awesome Pegasus Bridge battle-set. More details to follow...

**plastictrees**

That...looks very appealing.
I'm assuming it will be more expensive than the Assault on Normandy starter as the blurb suggests a lot more content.

**Rotgut**

I didn't realize the bridge set has other suff with it, that's pretty awesome.

**Grot 6**

That set is pretty good looking batch of stuff!!!

Reminds me of the old school Marx sets.

Assault on Normandy has forty plastic infantry, a rather crappy plastic building set and a rulebook. This will most certainly have so much more than that.

hi guys.
sorry if this is a dumb question but is this the same bridge portrayed in the movie a bridge too far or was that a diffrent battle?

The box says D-Day, which is in France, A Bridge too Far takes places a few months later in the Netherlands.

Well, there were lots of bridges in "A Bridge too Far" for starters.

But no, A Bridge Too Far was a fictional account of Operation Market Garden, some 3 months after D-Day.

The blub above says its a scenario very shortly before D-Day (possibly setting up some kind of Bolt Action D-Day products?). So some 3 months earlier in 1944 and in the Normandy, rather than in Germany/Netherlands

This bridge was in "The Longest Day"

**Fenrir Kitsune**

Looks really good. Can't wait to see more details.

**Alfndrate**

Rumored price was 150 GBP (or dollars, either way it's a lot

). But that is when I thought it was simply going to be the bridge... I probably won't pick this up simply because I don't play either army :-\

Bridge looks awesome though

**BrookM**

Chances are 150 quid if the Rorke's Drift set from a few years ago is anything to go by.

**gianlucafiorentini123**

Is this the Bridge from ''The Longest Day'' where they were told to '' Hold until relieved?''

**Alpharius**

Yikes - That's a bit more than I was looking to spend on some terrain for Weird War II gaming!

Yes - "Ham and Jam! Ham and Jam!".

Maybe they will release just the bridge (without minis) separately?

**BrookM**

As a teaser, ahead of tomorrow's Pegasus Bridge announcement, here is a shot of Cafe Gondree from the battleboard made for us by Mandertory Miniatures...

Going by the layout and appearance of the buildings in the image, it's the same bridge that was featured in Call of Duty 1.

It's a really famous and well known battle here in the UK which is undoubtedly why Warlord are working on recreating it, I personally can't wait to hear more details but at £150 I might have to give it some serious thought.

The model of the bridge looks awesome, I hope the minis do the whole thing justice too!
