Your Tank Looks Too Clean! Put More Stuff On It With Stowage From Warlord
September 28, 2015 by stvitusdancern
If you have ever been in the military, then you will know that they give you all kinds of useless junk and stuff you really need you have to go out and get it and then the problem is where do you put it?
You sure as heck are not going to carry it, so you need to find some sucker...err... friend to carry it for you. Well they sure are not going to do it because they are doing the same thing as you.
So you both think we will throw it on a vehicle, like that tank rolling by, but all tankers know they hardly have room for their bodies let alone their gear, so a lot of it ends outside lashed to the hull in some fashion.
Now Warlord is replicating that feel with a special offer, you purchase a tank for Bolt Action from them and they will give you a stowage sprue so you can trick out your ride. It does add a nice touch of reality when you see one with all kinds of equipment attached to it.
You know you want more tanks, so why not order yours now and get yourself some extras. Oh, if you order before the end of September you can get free shipping, that is hard to pass up!
How much stuff can you put on your tank?

Loads! You have to fit your tanks out to look the part – stowage is the thing. I love the German set. Then again it is from Warlord.
I have both the German and British set . A little disappointing as half of each set is under scale ( Brit helmets / packs ) or over scale ( German grenade case . grenades ). The rest of the bits , while useful , lack a lot of crisp detail , I really think this set should be re mastered .
Shame they don’t do a plastic kit (yet).
In scale with the according plastic infantry. Could and would be useful for both, vehicles and figures and should sell like hot cakes.
Always important to pile your gear ON TOP of the vehicle and not hang it off the sides. I watched a young lieutenant string all his guys’ rucksacks on the sides of their M113’s, and after the first contact, when the vehicles veered into the woods for cover, it was everywhere. The boys were picking up kit and broken rucksack frames for over a kilometer.
…green as a field! Looks cool though.
“Thank you, LOOOO-TENANT!” 🙁
Sooo when do we get modern war in 28mm Mr. Warlord ?
A plastic German set should be out soon by Rubicon , with an Allied set planned for later . Spare wheels and track for Panzers III , IV and V as well as spare road wheel and track for the SdKfz 251 halftrack . Also included ammo boxes , tarps , fuel drums and a couple of pairs of tow cable ends . The only gripe I have is that their Jerry cans have solid handles , but I’ll give mine away as I use Tamiya 1/48 scale cans . A little large ( almost the same size as the… Read more »
A lot can be made from scratch and as such cost much less that of the purchased kind.
