Okay, I’m not even going to lie . . . I don’t play Bolt Action but I might get those Marines for display. Some of my old gaming friends and I are former Marines, so items like this hold a special place. 🙂 I especially like the camouflage patterns on the helmets and NOT the rest of the uniform (too many paintings / figures camo the whole thing), which was more of a historical exception rather than a rule. NICE TOUCH with the guy with the soft cover (third from the right) instead of the helmet, the one Marine carrying… Read more »

Those Marines look like a huge leap forward over the Brits I’ve got. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Brits, but I’m particuarly envying the guns being attached to the hands. (I hesitate to use the words Lego hands as they do look good – they’re just fiddly for the sausage-fingered to assemble.) And 30 to a box, too. Lucky, lucky USMC!

That survivors kit looks a lot better than their male counterparts. Weapons look a lot more swappable – a real limitation of the old kit. The folds in some of the clothing still look a bit weird though.

Marines – I want them, especially the starter army as it includes one of the plastic M3 halftracks. Fabulous kit, very good value for money (30 guys – are YOU LISTENING GW?) s for Justin’s question, why would you want a scope on a large calibre revolver , well .44magnum and above have great range and muzzle energy so they can be used for quite accurate target shooting and hunting to long range – 50 yards is easy, 100 yards plus is possible with a rest and some guys have gone further. You can find a lot of it in… Read more »

YES! They included the .10 gauge trench gun! I saw it carried by the third guy from the left but it’s hard to be 100% sure in the photo, went to the Warlord website to confirm. Awesome touch.

The Steam Walker is my most favourite model in my collection. Not for the faint of heart, the impatient or noobs, but what a glorious result.

I’m a little unfamiliar with Bolt Action, so maybe someone could help me out here … are there rules / lists for the vastly expanded capabilities of WW2 Marines (specifically, their firepower) through the different time periods of the war? Early war, mid war, late war kind of thing? I understand that all armies progressed during the war, but the Marines that hit beaches like Iwo Jima and Okinawa bore NO RESEMBLANCE to those at Guadalcanal (even the uniforms were drastically different which would affect painting – and I’m not even talking about the Pearl Harbor-Midway Marines that still wore… Read more »
