Planes, Auto-Mobiles & Snipers Grace Bolt Action
October 8, 2013 by brennon
We showed off the awesome looking Pegasus Bridge Set yesterday for Bolt Action but that isn't all that's now available from Warlord Games. See what you think of these other bits and pieces that will be making an appearance on your gaming table...
First up we have the Atlantik Wall resin bunkers that have been crafted for defending the beach head and stopping those Allies from storming the beaches and taking over your position. They all have removable tops too allowing you to either leave them off and put in some big artillery pieces or hide your men within ready to ambush.
If you manage to make that run up the beach then you might be wanting to travel around with a little bit more protection. That's where the Daimler MK I Armoured Car comes in. This was a speedy and very agile vehicle that did plenty of scouting for the allies. It also came armed with an anti-tank gun and a machine gun if it got into trouble.
If you were interested in exactly how the British got to Pegasus Bridge then you might be interested in these Horsa Mk. I/II Gliders that are now available and perfectly fitting for your Bolt Action games. These could carry thirty troops or if they needed too a jeep or heavy gun instead.
It wasn't all easy going though as they weren't the safest rides. Then again it was probably preferable than floating in by parachute while the Germans were shooting at you.
To Finnish things off (see what I did there?) we have a look at the finalised Armies of Italy and the Axis exclusive miniature, The White Death. He was one deadly sniper that killed many an enemy with his skill and accuracy. He used traditional iron sights and ranked up 505 kills!
That's quite a lot of Bolt Action goodness for you!
Finns ain’t what they used to be?
Okay makes no real sense but the land of the Kalevala and Sibelius. Of Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun!
Somehow for whatever reason the Finns always seem cool. No pun intended for once.
FWIW The Italeri kit was also boxed by Airfix and AFAIK OOP
So keep an eye out on ebay, it may be possible to get one or three a bit cheaper. Italeri prices have been increasing steadily over the last few years
Im just a dingo away from having an Irish Guard Bolt action army with this Daimler coming out… Looks amazing!!!
It is a bit cute isn’t it!
Its as Chibi as your avatar and name 😀
I think its going to be fun to see on the board… does it come with Little John adapter??
Simple conversion if not
Littlejohn named after the inventor Janacek.
So I get to name two composers on a single thread! lol
I’ll be getting one of those armoured cars at some point. You see if I don’t!
Interesting little fact the Daimler has second steering wheel at the back for emergencies.
Like the French Panhard armored car an interesting idea and very practical
