Warlord Games are taking pre-orders for some new sets of miniatures and bundles following on from the announcement of the Armies Of Germany book which is coming to Bolt Action early next year.

German Veteran Infantry Platoon - Bolt Action

The first of the new sets up for pre-order is the new Veteran Infantry Platoon which will work as the core of your German army. This represents soldiers that would have been fighting in the bitter campaigns of the East and through the ruins of Stalingrad. This turned mere recruits into hardened and grizzled veterans in no time at all.

This set comes with enough components to make thirty miniatures with a range of different weapons and equipment. You can make soldiers with the classic Kar 98 Rifle, the MP40, captured Russian submachine guns, Lugers and flare pistols. You've also got options for the two MG34 light machine guns and more specialist weapons like the GrB grenade launcher, anti-tank rifle and flamethrower.

This allows you to make a selection of different units from the German army. You can make Platoon Commanders, Heer Infantry Squads, Feldgendamerie/Feldjagerkorps, Sturmpionere and also specialist teams.

If you like the sound of this set and you'd like to turn that into a larger force, you can also get your hands on the German Veteran Infantry Starter Army which allows you to get started in Bolt Action with these Veteran Infantry units as the core of your army.
