Ride Around In Bolt Action’s New Easy 8 Sherman Tank
June 5, 2016 by brennon
If you're looking for a suitably awesome tank for your Americans to use in World War II and of course Bolt Action then see what Warlord Games have been up to with the Easy 8 Sherman M4 A3E8...
While I normally give a bit of a Historical low-down on the vehicles from Warlord this is simply just 'cool'. I love the silhouette of the tank with the big 76mm gun and a machine gun mounted on the top too. It's a classic looking design.
I can see John going rather cuckoo over this one and maybe picking up a few for himself. This model in particular is a metal and resin kit so they haven't moved to plastic just yet with this particular one.
Will you be getting one (or two)?

The Easy Eight seems everybody’s darling US tank (and not only since ‘Fury’!) so why NOT plastic???
Anyhow, great looking kit 😎
“a few” he says. Well yeah I am going to get one for sure. But really, the Sherman V and Firefly are always going to be my darlings 😉
@johnlyons
Attaboy! And thankfully those ARE plastic 😎
The Sherman V is a very nice kit and can’t wait to they release the Firefly on its own! As someone who hasnt seen Fury, i’m not that turned on but still a nice tank!
That does look really good.
Yup.
Surprised no plastic.
I’m a bit hesitant on the BS resins. I ordered 2 M10’s and they were less than perfect…. I’ll be ordering the plastic versions to replace them.
I’ve just ordered another plastic Sherman V, simply irresistible 😎

Some cool ghetto kids in a (broken down) E8 tank mowing down a whole regiment of SS, who conveniently forgot they had Panzerfausts. Worth watching because of the hardware and special effects. I needed subtitles to follow the banter tho. Yo man, datz Fury!
very nice.
