So regular readers know that I love my WW2 gaming in the form of Bolt Action by Warlord Games.
For me it's the perfect blend of historic forces and freedom to not worry too much about historically correct forces and rivet counting. While some people love making 100% correct forces right down to the correct camo underwear, it just isn't for me.
With this in mind I tend to build my Bolt Action forces within a loose theme such as a Late War Winter German Wehrmacht rather than say a rather more specific theatre, Regiment or month/year.
But this time I've gone for a tad more specific for my latest force, a ''Defence of Berlin'' army, a rag tag bunch of 33rd Waffen SS, Hitler Youth and old men, police, firemen and rear echelon Heer.
You can see thsi force in action from the Battle Report I did a few weeks ago:
 |
| The 33rd Waffen SS Platoon with Flamethrower support |
 |
| The Defenders: Party Officer, Hitler Youth & Volkssturm |
 |
| Hitler Youth: Mostly Warlord Games and a couple from Offensive Miniatures |
 |
| Volkssturm: A mix of Old men, wounded Heer, Police & Firemen |
I have to say my favourites to paint so far are the Volkssturm from Offensive Miniatures while smaller than Warlord Games and more on par with the Perry's they still are nicely detailed with great faces.
Still have 9 more Volkssturm to finish a mix of various companies.
 |
| 3D Printed Tiger 1E |
 |
| Close up of the Waffen SS in Gasmasks with some unusual weapons |
 |
| Warlord Games Charlemagne Waffen SS Squad |
While my camo is not perfect I quite like the look and from tabletop height does the trick (I hope).
 |
| Hitler Youth close up, tend to not do much in game but I still like them. |
That's ya lot for now, next Blog post should be back to Bushido and hopefully a Battle Report or 2 to come.
Ta Ta!
