Can You Spy Warlord’s Cleverly Camouflaged Cromwell?
July 15, 2014 by dracs
Warlord Games have released a new version of their Bolt Action Cromwell tank, this time featuring the burlap camouflage which was often used on them during World War Two.
According to Warlord, the burlap camouflage's use of separate strips draped around the tank helped to break up the vehicle's outline and gave the impression of leaves.
Not being a Bolt Action player, I don't know whether or not the camouflage has any effects in game terms, but it does help to make specific tanks stand out in your army. Kind of ironic that. Still, it adds an extra level of verisimilitude to the game, as well as more variety to your collection.
Will you camouflage your Cromwell in time for the Tank Wars supplement?
What Cromwell?
The one you can’t see behind the bush
“verisimilitude”
Im not gonna lie, I had to look this up.
PS Nice tank
Sorry, I’m currently in the process of writing a university dissertation and after a while the correct vocab for articles and Uni works kinda blends.
Don’t apologise, I think it’s good!
Me too
now that what you call heavy plants crossing?
That’s one of the poorest pieces of hedgerow terrain I’ve ever seen, it’s so angular and there’s something protruding out of the bottom of it… Warlord should be ashamed!
I think it’s a tank, under the plants.
I like the burlap camouflage touch, i nearly didn’t see a tank 😉
That surely is interesting. Having camo as part of sculpt is nice touch and gives this one some character. Well as much character as tank can have that is.
I would rather use fabric burlap simulator on a basic Cromwell as this just looks a bit weird in plastic – it might look better painted.
