Warlord Games Update Two Kits With New Contents
August 26, 2017 by thisisazrael
Warlord Games have updated the Cromwell Cruiser and M3A1 Half-Track box sets from Bolt Action with new contents.
The M3A1 Half-Track now includes a decal sheet, damage markers, stat card and instruction booklet.
The model comes with two front fenders for you to choose between as well as stowage items such as spare helmets, fuel cans and backpacks that you can use to keep your vehicle looking individual.
The Cromwell Cruiser Tank comes with a full-colour waterslide decal sheet with tons of options so you can form British, Canadian and Polish units.
The kit also includes an optional Culin Prong hedgerow cutter for those troublesome fields in Normandy.
What do you think of the full plastic kits?
I suspect the friendly competition from Rubicon is encouraging Warlord/Italaeri to up their game. That is good for gamers.
…else we would still probably be stuck with Warlords resin bricks.
I was pleasantly surprised to crack open my KV-1/KV-2 kit to find a bonus infantry sprue, enough parts for interchangeable turrets, and smoke/fire markers. Capitalism for the win.
Yeah, I’d have liked an infantry sprue in with the M3 and the universal carrier too, but I guess they didn’t feel the need since its used by so many forces that have different looking infantry so they’d be leaving people out anyway…
fabulous looking kits.
It’s nice to see Warlord update they tank kits.
The M3 HT kit has 2 front bumpers -with winch or unditching roller not 2 sets of fenders , The Cromwell was never used by the Canadians , I think its just a generic decal set for Commonwealth tanks . The closest they got to Cromwells is being issued the Royal Marines Centuars post D Day . Only had them about 2 weeks , not really used in combat and never got to add their unit insignia to them .( I keep hoping to find a picture ) Replaced by M-10 / Achilles IRC .
Cullin cutter only seen / photographed on 1 Cromwell as a prototype .. With a little work with the razor saw you can add it to one of your Shermans or better yet a Churchill Crocodile . It seems the Croc could climb over those Normandy hedge rows ,but the fuel trailer would get hung up , so Cullin cutters were added . Sorry can’t post pictures , but can be seen on Missing Lynx site
