Rolling British Tanks & New US Loaders For Bolt Action
November 19, 2013 by brennon
Warlord Games are rolling in the heavy metal for the British with the release of the Crusader Mk I/II Tank and keeping the ammunition topped up with a bunch of US .30 Cal Loaders too for Bolt Action!
First up we have the aforementioned Crusader Tank which is looking pretty awesome. I have been loving being on the German side with Bolt Action but I have always liked the look of the British tanks when flicking through the rulebooks.
These tanks were deployed extensively in the desert and their high speed worked well with the mobile nature of desert warfare.
As well as that you can make sure everything is fine ammunition wise with a bunch of marines and airborne models that will be reloading those .30 Cal guns. I think it's nice to have a few of these metal miniatures dotted in around your other plastic soldiers as it gives you a neat level of added depth and character.
Some neat additions to the Bolt Action range!
Will you be picking up a Crusader?
Yes possibly the Crusader, but definitely the airborne figures.
I’m not sure about the crusaders colour scheme. The orange seems a bit much.
I think that is meant to be rust
One of the gripes heard for AFVs is the representation of rust on tracks
The constant grinding means they might get dusty or muddy but never rusty.
Well, any anti-rust treatment won’t last there either, so when the tank sits in storage the tracks can develop some surface rust.
But it won’t last long after it starts driving.
Might have to add the Crusader to my growing British force very nice model
