Hold Back The Germans With Soviet Winter Infantry For Bolt Action!
January 17, 2015 by brennon
Warlord Games are heading into the deep winters of the frozen North with another new plastic set for the Russians in Bolt Action. See what you think of the Soviet Infantry (Winter) kit that is now up for pre-order...
As you can see they are kitted out for the harsh winter fighting that happened towards the tail end of World War II. They wore big thick coats that were quilted and padded to keep you roasting hot. As you'd imagine you also get quite a lot for your money with forty of the blighters being available in this plastic set.
There are numerous weapon options from normal rifles to heavy LMGs and more. You even get cool Molotov cocktails to throw at your enemies!
Do you think you'll be joining the Russians?
Lol.
Did the sculptor have a seizure when he did the faces?
A 3-year old with clay could’ve done a better job.
Stalin, the mad mass murderer, in his great wisdom only sent the ugly men to fight during the winter and spared the more comely men to breed his superior communist population. True story.
With such iconic figures the russians are moving up my to do list.
Unfortunately I am currently working on a Finnish army. (Unfortunate for the Russians that is) …
In all seriousness though. The Russians are looking good.
Besides of faces those are rather good.
tempted to mix them up with minis from the ‘normal’ summer dress box for a September/October ’42 theme. Autumnal Stalingrad loveliness hehe.
I liked their previous Box o Sovs, I love this one! That Soviet army just got a lot more tempting.
Ok, the faces are just a wee bit strange but the rest of it looks fine. £30 for 40 minis and some spare parts/options – very good value for money!
Bolt Action mini are really bad. The first time I saw some I assumed they were 15mm or possibly 20mm.
Pardon me but I think the sculpts are good. I do not see a problem with the faces?
Nothing wrong with Bolt actions miniatures. These as all their range look great.
Will have to get a set of these . Would have like to have seen 8 new body styles though . Seems to me the guys in the quilted jackets are the same poses from the early plastic Russian box . Am I right ?
I think in the middle of a Russian winter we might all have problem with our own faces
I don not really see a problem with the faces they have som character. It is one of the reasons i like Gripping beast.
Warlord is going to ruin me this year!
I rather like the style of the Bolt Action range, though not the style of painting. These look good and if they release Germans in Winter gear, it is going to hurt the wallet. I did nearly order these yesterday though..,
I was about to say these guys look more like early war Soviets, with the PPsH, Mosin-Nagant rifles, and DP machine guns . . . until I saw the guy with the captured panzerfaust on his back and the late-war SMG magazine on the far left. I know these kits are multi-pose, so I assume you get some degree of choice as to what weapons to include?
loads of weapons (including Tokarev SVT-40’s which is nice 😉 ) – not perfect as the focus is on the tanks themselves, but the unboxing that John and Justin did of the T34-85’s be worth a watch as they throw in a sprue to use as tank riders in the tank platoon box
@oriskany check out the site the weapon list that comes with the kit is quite comprehensive
Dam it, I really dont need another project this year.
Think I’ll get off my face on Vodka and make a dicision then;)
I need these in my life.
