Per has also been working on the British 8th Army, working on turning them into the Commonwealth forces sent over from New Zealand.
Everyone is really impressed by the new Bolt Action plastics and it is interesting to see the variety in approaches people are taking to their armies.
The new Sculpts are looking really good
The Maoris were famous for running around with a captured Flak36 (88mm) and shooting at the Germans with it (in contravention of official policy).
The new figures look great
Fair battering through em!
sounds ace! I’m sure I remember reading somewhere that New Zealand troops would sometimes take liberties with the uniform regulations for fear of being mistaken to be Australians haha
The plastics look really nice
Excited to see what the guys can make from these, so many nationalities in one conflict you really are spoilt for choice.
like the idea of the parts of the commonwealth early notable on the table in the British force
Chaaaaaarge! Someone likes the pointy end of the weapons a lot 😀
Go Britannia!
The man with the mic
Those sculpts do look nice.
very crisp detail on those minis
A nice little trip around the Med. ha
I really like to see the more obscure troops getting some attention. It’s far more interesting than the plain vanilla forces.
I too know nothing of New Zealanders being part of WWII. It is really great how this hobby teaches as well as entertains.
It’s fascinating how the various nations came together in different ways – I just imagine lorries full of British uniforms dispensing gear left right and centre.
Will Pier do the Haka war dance before each game lol
Well done so far buddy.
Glad to hear they have moved away from floating weapon syndrome. Separate weapons is a nice idea, but its a pain to work with some times.
its nice too see a lot of thought has gone into the armys
I think we’ve spotted our first Scandinavian! Hurrah!
Oh, and @dracs , there are no i in Per. You made him sound like a Frenchman for no reason. 😛
I asked him how to pronounce it, he said like Pier
Well, close enough for government work, but not close enough to be absolutely correct. 🙂
Fun to hear a little about the New Zealand’faction’
So many people, so many ideas. Still, no one made a Greek formation, and very recently I learnt the Greek had troops in Africa, mainly equipped with British arms, uniforms and stuff. Hellas!
From early looks they look a step up from the Normandy Brits. Good work Warlord.
More troops movements
Yay for PUNishing dad jokes!
Great to see New Zealand represented! They were actually one of the larger divisions I believe. Also they were sort of not completely under British control, which lead to all sorts of political problems…
Maoris, Sheiks Hans Tommy Aussy horse yanks……. what a graveyard.
Looking good.
Great sculpts, dynamic poses, lots of character!
Cool
They are nice looking plastic kits indeed.
love the pose oh this mini
Here come the the Rats!
Those models are amazing
Great looking stuff.
Nice to see the commonwealth represented.
Afrika Korps!
