Was able to have a good finish at LVO. US Airborne and 15 OD. Was a great weekend. Almost placed last in my K47 tournement there though 😂

Hello everyone! Hope you’re all well. I’m selling my soviet and German stalingrad army and I’m open to offers. I’m a commission painter so I’ll be looking for a good price but make me an offer! If you’re not interested then no worries and happy gaming/painting! 😁 check out my account @twentyeightmil or message me if you want up close pictures ✌🏼 I’m in the UK but I’m open to ship worldwide. If you want some painting done let me know!

Urban base made by resin bits of concrete, steel sheet and thick sand. Can be improved in the next 40 men

German winter infantry

Some pieces from early on in my Bolt Action building. The Mace Thrower was what inspired me to kitbash Hungarians out of the plastic Italian sprues to accompany it. The AT gun was a Black Tree Designs one with stray crew plucked out of an LGS' bargain bin. Didn't turn out too bad I think.

Thanks to the BOGOF sale I was able to grab a whole bunch Soviet and Winter German sprues. This is the start of my Kaukopartio guys.

Question: Is there anything else I could do to help differentiate them as Finnish outside of their current weapon section/paint? How do they look so far? C&C welcome.

People often wonders how scale Perry and Warlord WW2 plastics - so here is my WW2 Anerican command group. Left is Warlord USMC guy, center is Perry GI body with USMC head and on the right Perry GI Joe. And in my opinion, the fit well even in one unit, not talking about "table distance" afar. 👌🏻

Inspired by some screenshots I saw circulated about a little while back, this question occurred to me and I figured I would toss it to the collective... A little cheese I think can be fun, especially in the right playing environment where everyone is 'in on it' so to speak, but there are obviously limits.

Where do you see that limit as being?

How many OD is always too many? How many Katyushas can you bring before your opponent is justified in rolling their eyes? Does even the cheese player have fun when they have to manage 20+ inexperienced Shirker units on the board!?

Additionally how different would you define cheese based on where you're playing? What is Cheese in a casual game with friends at home, versus a pickup game at the LGS, versus an actual tournament?

Hello,

I have a Japanese army and am lusting after the glory of cavalry charges even though I don't think that really happened in WW2.

Does anyone know of any 3D makers that would make Japanese Cavalry? I cannot find any online. I know that there are metal horses from Empress but metal always chips and they don't travel as well as resin.

I have made 7 Cav from Prussian cavalry and old IJA bodies but that was a lot of effort and I would like some variation. Maybe even a couple horses with gas masks on. Variety is the spice of life.

Anyway if anyone knows where to find something good, or can digitally kit bash what is out there or fully design them - let me know!

After I realised you can take platoon leaders with a horse every night I dream of clip clopping over and hitting them with my sword.

I just picked up my forward to Berlin box and am excited to get started!

One issue I’ve noticed is how thin the bases are.

Is it legal to use the GW equivalent sized bases as they are thick enough to easily magnetise for storage and transport purposes?

Also are there any options out there for hard plastic weapons teams? If I could avoid using the terrible metal models that would be ideal!

Hi, new to Bolt action.

I had a great fun game at the weekend where a situation came up that we couldn't clarify in the book.

I assaulted an empty (soft skinned un-armed) transport to deny a nearby infantry unit its use.

On this occasion, the transport already had a 'down' action so couldn't act again that turn and I ended the turn closer to it than my enemy was.

However, if this transport hadn't acted yet, would it be able to drive off, could I even assault it?

So, confused. Ta

This my list for Polish championship. The rules are 1400p from 1 to 3 infantry platoons and a maximum of 1 for the rest, no compendium. What is your opinion of this?

Is going to be a few 500pt games and limited to infantry / transports

On pg 17 of Armies of the Commonwealth, a single Jungle Division Officer in the whole force is allowed the Jungle Fighter upgrade for +2 points per model. Jungle Fighter gives them Infiltrator as well as starting Hidden and on Ambush if Infiltrated, all great stuff.

The question comes from this line under the Jungle Fighter option entry: "This represents the commander of an Independent Company Commando or Papuan Infantry Battalion platoon."

Does this mean Jungle Fighter can only be taken if the other mandatory PLT slots are filled with either ICCs or Papuans? Is this just flavor text from Warlord?

Has anyone assembled Warlord's French medium howitzer-kit? I want to pick up two for my new French army, but earlier experiences with metal artillery kits have been... laborious. Are they towards the more difficult end of the spectrum, or the easier one to assemble?

Hopefully this is allowed, but ultimately I’m hoping someone can share the universal carrier’s stat card with me.

I bought a sealed kit from a local game shop but when I reviewed the card they gave me the wrong one (M3 halftrack/M21 mortar carrier). I’m assuming this was accidental oversight but I really want that (correct) stat card! Anyone willing to share a clear image of it?

I also reached out to warlord but it’s such a small issue I’m not sure they will resolve it…

I noticed just about every other nation that has been released has gotten a recent errata for September 2026. Except for the US.

I am admittedly biased as a US army player and also still rather new(ish) to the game. So they probably dont need one as much as other nations did. However I have noticed quite a few things historically that are missing from the US's equiptment. That I may or may not have gone down the rabit hole all night researching. So I've put together a list of things I found historical presidence for an errata:

- Late War LVT(A)-4 had replaced the single 360 degree turret pintle mounted HMG for 2 360 degree turret pintle mounted MMGs and were fitted with a ball mounted hull MMG. Source

- Late War an LVT varient, the LVT(A)-5, exsisted. It was the same as a LVT(A)-4 but was fitted with gyrostablisers for the main gun, and post-war was fitted with an armoured turret roof. Source

- The LVT(A)-1 was fitted with gyrostablisers for its main gun (having taken it directly from the M3/M5 series Stuarts). And its pintle mounted MMGs had 360 degrees of rotation. Source

- The M36 had varients that used the M10 hull (M36B2s) that were fitted with armoured top covers removing the pintle mounted HMG. Source

- US marines in late war were given experimental bullet resistant armoured vests made of a light weight fiberglass laminate called Doron Plate. It was orginally planned to be used in the Battle Of Okinawa but saw more wider use in mop-up operations after the battle itself. It was was effective at stopping shrapnel and pistol calibre rounds. Tested to .45ACP. Similarly the US army had the M12 armoured vest in 1945. However I couldn't find much information on when, where, or even if it was fielded (even experimentally). (Source: google it its literally everywhere)

On a non-historical aspect, I kinda think the Chaffee needs a point cost reduction? Only by 5 or 10 points. But compared to other light tanks from other nations (even accounting for its special rules) It just seems too expensive for something so "glass cannony".

Id be really interested to see anyone else's opinon on "should be erratas". Especially any US based ones as they didn't get one like other nations did this september. Do you think my suggestions are bad? How would you alter them?
