Build German Blitz or Maultier with Warlord Games New Kit for Bolt Action
August 17, 2017 by thisisazrael
Warlord Games have a new German hard plastic kit for Bolt Action that can be built as an Opel Blitz truck or Opel Maultier half-track.
The set also comes with plastic infantry on their own frame that actually comes with separate bodies and legs to give you flexibility.
You also get a waterslide decal sheet, a clear acetate sheet for the windscreen and windows along with the stat cards and damage markers
Historically the stout chassis of the Opel Blitz was used on all fronts throughout the war.
"The Opel Blitz came as a Type S 2 wheel drive and a Type A or “Allrad” that had a 4 x 4 chassis, enabling it to cope with most conditions and provided a superb structure on which were built such conversions as a radio truck"
The kit will be available in September 2017.
Will you be adding this flexible vehicle to your army?

looks good.
Does look good . The figures come as two strips of 5 upper bodies and 10 separate pairs legs . So mixing and matching a couple of sets could give you a great variation if you have many troop transports to fill . Now wether they are going to look good if you separate the upper body strip into 5 pieces to make tank riders , say , I’m not sure . Depends on how much overlap of arms on the upper bodies . Might have to go the conversion route of regular German plastic upper body and seated legs… Read more »
Fantastic kit, very well thought out
I think Warlord/Italaeri and Rubicon are making great strides at putting affordable, detailed and easy to build kits out there for the 28mm audience – the more the merrier.
It’s really awesome to read and get insight from you guys on these pieces.
I must admit checking out all the awesome 28mm and 15mm historical stuff each day is creating an itch to play that I never thought would happen.
