Prepare The US Marine Corp For A Pacific Assault

Warlord Games have some Japanese soldiers around the corner and to combat them you're going to need some new Americans. Here come the Marine Corp in this preview for Bolt Action!
Now you'll be able to do some proper island hopping with these guys and I am loving the variety of sculpts on offer. It looks like the options in this box are going to be through the roof and that's awesome.

@siygess If in doubt do both
They look fantastic as well as the plastic Japs. I look forward to getting a few boxes of them so as to do a bit of island hopping.
Uh! I found some landing crafts for 28mm here: http://www.barrageminiatures.com/31-boats
