Warlord Games Working On Battle Ready Tanks For Bolt Action
December 16, 2015 by brennon
Warlord Games have decided that sometimes painting your tanks takes up too much time, especially when you just want to be playing Bolt Action and Tank War. With that in mind check out some of the first examples from their Battle Ready range which is a big selection of pre-painted tanks...
The tanks have been painted in very standard schemes so that you can then add to them if you like it. However, as they stand they are totally battle worthy and would look good on the tabletop. You can take a closer look at some of the tanks they've been working on below.
As you can see the colours are rather muted but this is to provide you with a good base layer from which to build from. I'm sure that a lot of folks would like to add some additional work to the tracks too but away from that these are much better looking than half of my efforts to paint tanks!
These tanks will cost you a little bit more due to the effort that went into painting them but if you're just looking to play with standard issue tanks this could be a good shout.
Which other tanks would you like them to work on?

they look good, love the star on the extra plating on the Sherman.
A nice fat bullseye over the ammo storage. Genius idea lol
yup.
So thats what Warren teased in the last weekender : D
I think its amazing and historicals are kinda better suited for prepainted products than other hobby settings in my opinion.
And with some whethering done by the hobbyist these might shape up pretty nice.
Those are all really good.
Maybe not just tanks. How about transports too?
I guess if you can’t build and paint model kits , and have pots of money , they’re ok . US price for one Panzer IV – $64 dollars , a 3 pack will set you back $190 . Yikes ! If there’s big market for these I just might sell off the tanks I’ve built , got about 30 , and I don’t even play . Just love to build tanks , don’t know where I’m going to put them , but love to build them …
Ay you right mate. Pretty expensive, in my eyes too expensive.
I’d love to see an unboxing of these.
They look ok, in my opinion. A good starting point for many people to work further on the tank as @brennon said.
Interesting idea and playing bolt action there is no real need for more than one or two tanks. So to be honest if you can’t be bothered building a couple of tanks then this is an alternative, but personally I would check out eBay first…lol
Personally I really don’t think they very good. Look at the carrier film on the markings on the Sherman.
I will pass price is to high . Warlord I think should of used there time on something else.
I will be painting my own stuff for Bolt Action just as I do for everything else. It adds to the fun 🙂
Price isn’t actually too bad imo. You would probably pay more for a commission painter to do them. Not for me though as I’d rather paint my own.
With these pre-painted tanks you lose the joy and feeling of accomplishment you get when you paint a new tank or army. I guess these would be good for someone with lots of money and no time, but personally I would not buy these.
