Jeff has been tearing on getting his British army ready to play for Bolt Action.
Taking advantage of the different head options provided in Warlord’s plastic kit, Jeff has decided to make a force based upon the Sikhs who as part of the British army in World War II.
interesting to make them as Sikhs but being able to use them for Italy also is a real bonus. better than using Normandy brits for italy.
Great Desert Boot Camp
Great idea. Didn’t realise this was an option with the new kits.
These would be great for Sikh and destroy missions…..
I’ll get my coat.
Whoa, the guys are really battering though the kits!
it’s impressive that there are sikh options in there. thats really appealing
The head options for both the new 8th Army and the DAK kits are really good.
I had a nose at the 8th Army box in a store this week. It’s very cool that you get the various head options – you could get to a sizeable and diverse army just with multiples of the same box.
I really do like his choice to go for the Sikhs. It makes for more variety in general and is not something you typically see.
another happy camper! hope we get to follow the progress of the Sikhs this weekend…
Loving the Sikh. I have some older Battle Honors Sikh. Would love to add to them.
cool idea.
like the options you have in the kits
Sikh options is pretty cool
Really great idea swapping out those heads, that’ll definitely add some lovely variety to the table.
Best thing: all black hair! I laughed XD currently painting 50 americans in 1:72 and i was so happy when i noticed i wouldn’t have to paint much face. apply face colour > wash a lot > brush a bit > done. no hair no eyes just … done in 3 steps aaah so good.
I had no idea that they came with those heads, even more reason tk collect the 8th army??
These different head options are genius, wish more companies would do this.
wish i was there, i would do the coldstream guards in honer of my granddad who saw action in north africa during ww2
Sounds like they are less finicky to build, that’s a plus.
I wonder how the rules for them are
I hope your mortars but more stuff than mine ever does!
I like seeing something different. These come with the kit, these Sikhs heads?
I think it’s great that there is an option on the sprues to make Sikhs.
The Sikhs are looking great, they’re one of the Commonwealth forces I’ve toyed with the idea of making (them and the West Africans in Burma).
But man, those mould lines!
