October 23, 2024 by brennon
Warlord Games have given World War II wargamers a look at what's coming as part of the new Armies Of Germany book for the third edition of Bolt Action. The new book (and special figure) will be available to pre-order on Friday.
Armies Of Germany 3rd Edition // Bolt Action
Inside the new book, you're going to find new units and new rules. A lot of favourites and classics have made the transition into the new Armies Of... book but there will also be plenty of new faces as well as different ways to play your German armies that might stand out. As well as this, new Nation Special Rules will be expanded on from the Bolt Action rulebook allowing you to theme your force even more.

The book will also come with plenty of background on the German army that will serve as a reference point for your army building and also an inspiration when it comes to painting. Considering there are so many different ways that the German army was deployed in World War II and across different theatres, you'd expect there to be plenty of background to help budding generals decide on their route with their new German army.
A new special figure will be available alongside the pre-order of the new book.
Josef Allerberger Special Figure // Bolt Action
Josef “Sepp” Allerberger was one of the legendary Gebirgsjäger snipers, perched behind cover as he gets ready to take a pot shot at his enemies. Who wouldn't want a camouflage-draped umbrella? The miniature looks particularly nice.

As mentioned above, this new Armies Of... book is going to be available to buy this Friday from Warlord Games for Bolt Action. It marks the first of many books that will cover the major powers battling it out across the globe during World War II.

Great looking special miniature – far better than most Warlord sculpts!
As far as the book goes, churn… churn… churn.
The last edition was eight years ago.
Was it really that long? Wow! Time seems oddly compressed – I read something about The End Times doing that.
I guess that’s not so bad – FoW churns much worse!
Another cracking sculpt from Warlord Games for the special edition figure! Great to see them moving so quickly into releasing the individual Army books, with what’s sure to be one of the most popular!
The E/M/L markings look very Flames of War inspired, which is no bad thing.
Of course I wants that.
I like that they’ve taken the time to get things from multiple (campaign?) books into this one.
The early/mid/late war indicators are nice. Gives me a better idea as to what suits when without having to read text 😀
I wonder when the “app” gets the new data …
Cool looks like I get the 360 MMG back on the Stug
And your medic can use it!
no he can’t … medics can’t attack. 😛
Long running joke! 🤡
I guess I’m not fast enough to catch ’em 😀
I really like that special mini…. he will definitely replace my current sniper in my winter German force! I still however need to work out what I want to do with it, whether to double down on the recce (I have soooo many half tracks) or whether to pivot to tanks or mortar support. I currently have a smattering of everything (to suit previous edition) and not enough of one thing (except half tracks) to do the new edition as it’s intended. decisions decisions
Great looking figures for the game table’s 👍
