Performing some color tests for USMC. Which one looks best? A - 1:1:0.5 Camo Cloak / Malignant Green / Speed Paint Medium B - Militarum Green C - 1:1 Militarum Green / Creed Camo D - 1:1 Camo Cloak / Malignant Green
After finishing up my afrika korp I wanted to start like a true early war force of veterans of World War I and what better route to go than the Freikorp, it’s not 100% accurate but with enough skulls painted on the other’s helmets and vehicles I think I can call it a proper “Freikorp” force
I just received the French light artillery in the mail and I’m new to the game so I was confused when I got it and noticed there weren’t instructions so I don’t quite know how to build it, can someone help me out?
Recently I saw here ppl who put lmg gunner and loader on same base. For the looks it's great. However is it legal? How do you know/mark loader for lmg or knee mortars?
Has anyone ever seen 28mm royal navy sailors for sale anywhere that isn't Warlord. I like theirs but there is only one section and I was thinking it would be cool to know if anyone sells more to play a battles of Narvik type scenario. I don't have the money for it but you could easily mike it with some victory at sea then do the land element.
First time posting a video. Please ignore the audio. Thank you.
What's a good width to make roads for Bolt Action's scale? What's a good width to make the rivers, especially one that will fit under the arch of the stone bridge kit (will be getting this in the future but can't find inner arch width)
We are eagerly awaiting the new third edition rule book for Bolt Action. It’s not a bad guess that a new starter set will accompany the new rules. what factions and theater are you guys hoping to see? If this is already discussed in this subreddit: sorry i don't spend so much time on Reddit.
Hey yall, I'm just getting into Bolt Action and am wondering if there are any play groups in the DFW area particularly in the north Dallas area (Garland, Plano, Richardson area). Thanks for any feedback!
Hi all,
Looking to start a British 8th Army list. I was planning on getting the British 8th Army starter set, and a Matilda 2.
Just wondering if that’s a flexible list or if anyone has a suggestion for a decent 1k 8th Army list. I’m pretty new to Bolt action, so this would be my first army - just been playing with a group who’s been giving tutorials.
Thanks
I bought a box of plastic Waffen-SS Grenadiers this week, and while they're not bad I do not like that so few of the poses are actually engaged in shooting. Specifically, the only pose for the MG42 has it slung over his shoulder like the Schütze is going for a stroll in the countryside as opposed to, you know, actually being in the process of firing it against some Amis, Tommies, or Iwans.
What other 28mm models for the SS are out there that mesh well with the Warlord range if I wanted to add some variety to my squads? I am located in the USA also so if any of these have US distributors that would be welcomed too to avoid heavy shipping costs.
Hi all, beginner here. I haven't even played yet, just decided where to start.
Ultimately I'd like to build a list around a Churchill Crocodile tank. I'm not much of a tank guy, but I loved the Churchill crocodile since having a model as a kid.
It's pretty expensive in points, so was wandering where I should start for building a list around it?
Thanks!

Need some advice on German armour decals. What exactly does each symbol mean and where would they most likely be placed? These are for a Panzer IV and a Stug III.
