Warlord gamings boltaction, basically warhammer goes ww2

[Sommarkatze]

Hey guys, I was just wondering if some of you have heard or maybe collecting/boltaction?

Its basically like warhammer minatures but ww2. Quite fun actually, I really like the rules compared to ordinary warhammer where the battles could be a little bit too much calculating and stuff. The best part is that they have all kind of fun,rare and cool units and they seem to be updating pretty regulary.

Iam currently now building up an USMC army

Hi Sommarkatze,

I have actually stumbled upon the Bolt Action books whilst perusing the Osprey store. I never could fathom what they were supposed to be about until now.

I can't see why they would sell the rules separately to the pieces in all honesty. Personally, i would just buy the pieces and make up my own rules.

Thanks, CoHtaku.

Jesz I always wanted those. I remember seeing some at the museum. Problem is I got no space here and no time :p.

Ah, you should really check it out if you can. The figures are cool and most of the tanks are actually made of Tamiya ( the modell maker) so if you just want cool tanks in your office or somthing here where to go! They have a cool AV7 Iam planning on getting.

What I like the most about this however are the rules. They make sense and doesnt take forever ( COUGH WARHAMMER COUGH)

I just wish that the soldiers looked more human. Atm they look like Warhammer orcs.

Also lol "Polish Lancer Regminet" no comment on that. They should bundle it with "Polish death camps"...

Yeah many of the figures faces are kinda messy. I know there are other companys making custom figures though with nice faces. They dont cost any extra neither and its nothing in the rules saying you cant play with them. I mean as long as they look as the unit they are potraying its fine
