The USMC boxed set is okay, at least the upcoming German set doesn't have a prone model in it.

Has this been covered yet?

Absolutely nuts, a Tiger Platoon
http://www.beastsofwar.com/bolt-action/warlord-games-brings-tiger-zug/#comment-176980

I've built my Tiger I pre-ordered. Very simple to put together kit, but from my uneducated eye looks great. I will paint it someday, don't think I need another 3.

In the line displaying the price from that WSS it looks like the second number of the amount of models is a 4 (far left). Does this mean 24 models for 38.50?

Three tigers... That's like 1500 pts. That's a lot of tonk for bolt action.

Also liking the look of the new grenadier kits. As a guy who has put together the older German and US kits as well as the newer Japanese and USMC kits, the new kits are far and away better. They look more natural, go together easier, and look better in general. I put together 30 Japanese and had no problems with saminess, and they have far less options for equipment than the Germans will have.

I suppose the Tigers might be useful for people playing mega games, or just people who like Tigers I suppose! Although, I'm a big fan of the mega detailed kits you get from Dragon and the like and haven't tried something like this before.

Must get my USMC finished so I can move on to Germans..

The Warlord - Italeri kits are toddler drawings compared to the kits from Dragon and Tamiya.

Their meant to be for gaming, I remember i bought a Sherman some years ago and by god the kit was insane took me weeks to build it

Not really useful for just gaming

Nope, however I do prefer the Tamiya 1:48 tanks over Warlord's 1:56 kits.

Though then again, I'm sure the rivet counters will look at the kits done by Dragon and Tamiya, give a derisive snort and dismiss them as being too inaccurate.

Not to mention the 'real' scale models have a ton of tiny, thin parts that are prone to breaking. Gaming models need to be a bit more chunky to survive all the transportation and handling.

Gonna need that Tiger Zug - at least - for the Kursk game I'm running in a few months on a 12x6 table...

Warlord have just shown the new Factory terrain kits from Sarissa Precision and they look rather tempting...

New: World War II Factories!

March 13, 2015 - Bolt Action, terrain - Tagged: Bolt Action, Sarissa, terrain

We are very pleased to be able to offer you the latest releases from our friends over at Sarissa Precision – three different factories from their Industrial Range!

These buildings are made from laser-etched MDF and can be glued together using PVA glue. Once built they can be painted in the same way as the rest of your models by spray undercoating first and then painted using acrylics and ink washes.

All three of these would make ideal terrain for refighting hard fought battles through industrialised areas on the Eastern front and provide an excellent backdrop for the scenarios in the Ostfront book. They are equally useful for battles t across Europe, so whether your Allied army is storming the port city of Bremen or you’re leading your Panzers through a French industrial zone these new scenery pieces are a welcome addition to your terrain collection!

Factory – Large – £50.00

While all three buildings have removable roof and etched detailing, the large factory has an internal working crane (yes, really!) and internal walkway – check out the photos.


Factory – Office/Warehouse – £20.00


Factory – Power Room – £12.50

Yeah, they look damned nice.

I've a few Sarissa pieces, and they are really good. I nearly ordered these yesterday but the painting put me off. Once I get a town sorted for Bolt Action Ill maybe think of an Industrial complex.

Holy moly those are lovely pieces of terrain.
50 pounds is not free but I think it's absolutely worth that money.

Yes, especially when you consider

If people havent seen all the photos on Warlords site, I urge you to do so, but your bank manager may not like the outcome!

Yeah, after seeing those yesterday I'm seriously thinking of using those factory buildings in lieu of the ones I was going to build with Mantic/MA/DZ parts for my Tank Graveyard.

Saw some of these in the flesh at a show earlier in the year, they are absolutely fantastic.

If anything like the other Sarissa stuff they will be neatly cut and easy to put together also.

From Warlord Facespace...

Just one of the many upcoming releases on show at Salute was this Sd.Kfz 251/1 Ausf D. Complete with passengers these are real sprues not digital renders.







And a recent addition in resin

I don't think it's rumored at all, it's been announced.

Interesting.. another one to add to my list in a different thread!

Warlord Salute show report: http://www.warlordgames.com/show-report-salute-2015/

SHOW REPORT: SALUTE 2015

This last Saturday saw more than 8,000 gamers and hobbyists descend upon the EXCEL centre at the heart of the London Docklands for Salute – the UK’s largest wargaming show



We’ve been to every Salute show since our inception – and 2015 was certainly no exception – we had one of the largest stands, right at the very entrance to the hall.

As well as a veritable mountain of stock supporting all of our systems, we were joined on our stand by our friends from River Horse Games and Clockwork Goblin Miniatures… we had teams from the Pheonix Club, Abingdon Wargames Club, and two blokes called ‘Alessio’ and ‘Rick’ giving demo games of Bolt Action, Beyond the Gates of Antares, Terminator Genisys, and we had a team showing off the new Pike & Shotte ‘The Devil’s Playground’ Thirty Years War supplement… and our Studio staff were working their magic, offering tips and insight into their work…

..but enough of all that – let’s get stuck into the pictures!



Right from the off-set, the Warlord stand was heaving with customers… we hardly had a moment to catch our breath – even with an army of Warlord staff on hand!

Shows are a fantastic opportunity for us to get out and meet the community – we bumped-into a lot of friends from Facebook, the Warlord Games Forum, the GCN – and a surprising number of international visitors!

We had a lot of customer questions with regards to up-coming releases and rules, and also gratefully received a few presents (including a quickly demolished mountain of cake!).

Salute is not only about the sales stands – we had help from some of our GCN friends, who ran demo games of Bolt Action and Pike & Shotte:





We even let Rick come along – he ran demo games of the current iteration of Beyond the Gates of Antares all day!



The River Horse stand was practically overrun with eager gamers trying to get a first hands-on look at the up-coming Terminator Genisys Miniatures Game… Alessio and Matt gave demo games all day, non-stop!



Speaking of the Terminator game… Salute saw the first public showing of the ‘The War Against the Machines’ Box Set, and all of its contents – including both sprues and assembled models of both the Terminator Endoskeletons and the Human Resistance, and a sneaky peek at some future releases…





The Design Studio team were also out in force! Usually locked away behind closed doors, it was a fantastic opportunity for customers to ask questions, and see the Warlord sculptors (both physical and digital!) and painters in action…

Of course, the distinguished Mr. Sawyer was on hand, fielding questions and showing off some never-before-seen models, some work-in-progress future releases, and the early manuscripts for some up coming supplements across our ranges!











Speaking of work-in-progress models and sneaky peeks… the eager-eyed among you may have spotted a few treats among the cabinets…

We had the forthcoming Jagdtiger (now fully painted!) on show – alongside (front left) Luftwaffe Field Division models, the M7 Priest, the Katyusha Rocket Launcher, some of our Winter American range…







Below you can see the first ever sighting of the plastic SdKfz 251/1D – both on sprues, and assembled! We also had our studio painted plastic Stug kit (both the Stug III ausf G, and the StuH 42 variant,) and our next plastic kit – the Panzer III (again – on sprue, and assembled!)



Our plastic German Grenadiers saw their first outing at Salute – we managed to put together 200 boxes for sale at the show, and they were flying off the shelves from the word ‘Go!’

We had the studio painted models on show, as well as the sprues… and – just to titillate you further, some of the three-ups for our plastic Fallschirmjager found their way into the cabinet as well!



Our unreleased plastic Napoleonic Portuguese…



Landsknechts and Crimean Hungarian Infantry…



We also had our recently released PIke & Shotte Ordnance Battery on show, in all its glory! In support, we have some Veteran Musketeers, ECW/TYW Command Group, Musketeers, Veteran Storming Party Musketeers, and Storming Party Musketeers:



The big news though came in the shape of the shelf full of new models for Beyond the Gates of Antares – the cabinet had to be wiped down several times throughout the day due to excessive drool (and that was just from the Warlord staff!).

At the back left, we can see the Concord Interceptor Squad – next to which are two Ghar Battle Suits (one with Disruptor Bomber, and one with Gouger and Disruptor Claw)

At the centre at the rear, we have Algoryn General ‘Tar Es Janar’ – then (rear right) a Freeborn Mag Light Support, squad of Freeborn Renegades, and Freeborn support team with X-Launcher.

Then, across the front (left to right) we have Ghar Outcast Slave Drivers leading a Ghar Outcast Squad, an Isorian Senatex Command, and Isorian Senatex Squad…







All-in-all, it was a fantastic day… the Warlord staff who attended are hugely thankful to everyone who came along, bought reinforcements, partook in the demo games, and even simply asked questions.

A few extra special ‘Thank Yous’ go out to the guys from the Pheonix Club and Abingdon Wargames Club who helped demo games for us – along with Nick Simmerson, Matt Walford, and Ben Crowe for standing guard! – and finally to those who brought us cake, cookies, sweets, and energy drinks!

We hope that everyone who paid us a visit enjoyed the day – we’ve already got plans in place for next year!

Glad to finally see the Isorians. They're right up my alley. I wish there were better pics of the Ghar troops though.

Hah, that's excellent - I'm on the Warlords newsletter and show report - that's me slap bang in the middle of the picture (black t-shirt looking to the right...)

Celebrity at last Ruglud!

Cheers for posting that report Judgedoug, some really good stuff in there.

That's interesting news about the Weird War two game. I know a couple of the guys from Clockwork Goblin, they do a great 15mm post-WW2 sci-fi game with some really neat little armoured walkers and the like, and with their stand positioned in amongst Warlord (which I hadn't seen before) I wonder if Warlord are now acting as their publisher, as they are for the Judge Dredd game. Makes sense, I think quite often the biggest problem the smaller companies have is in telling people about their games, being associated with Warlord will certainly help.

I was disappointed by the Warlord stand at Salute. I wanted a couple of blisters for BA but because the blisters racks were so small and low there was realistically only room for one person and it made it to awkward to search and I'm afraid to say the staff were no good as to my enquiries all I received was 'there over there somewhere'.
