Boot Campers Getting Stuck In
We’ve got all of the Boot Campers sitting down and working through their armies, building up the plastic and metal components for both the British and the Germans.
Get Involved! Build Bolt Action Projects & Win Spot Prizes!
We’ve got a great idea that we wanted to share with you! To get you guys involved at home we wanted to give away some spot prizes to those who create some Bolt Action based projects using our Project System.
Make Bolt Action Projects & Win £20 Warlord Games Vouchers!
This can be anything Bolt Action based, be it a unit of soldiers, a commander figure, tanks (John loves those!) or even some pieces of terrain. It DOES NOT have to be desert themed either.
Make sure to select this option when you’re putting together your projects!
We can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on and the kind of things you share with us.
Cool prize, going to be a good weekend.
And so it begins…. ?
Well I’ve never heard of this game in my life. So I’m finding all this very fascinating
Bolt Action is a fantastic game. Hope you enjoy the weekend and if you have any questions let us know and we’ll pass them along to the Warlord guys.
???… never heard about Bolt Action???.. Shame yourself and sit in the corner ????
so they can just sit and watch all the content right? right?
Yessssss 😛
Have sooo much fun Guys, next year I will do everything for being there.. love the Bolt Action Bootcamps…… ????????
Looks this will be as exciting as the FOW 4th edition Desert Boot Camp.
The Desert trench board looks awesome. Will have to suggest that to my wargaming group for the next project.
Looking good so far
Gutted I missed this one (love me some BA) but only just got back from holidays so couldnt squeeze any more time off 🙁
Looking forward to following this over the weekend. I love bolt action but not really done anything to do with the North Africa campaign before. This will be a good push in to it.
Great prize there! Gotta get my British army built!
looking forward to seeing how many people get their forces completed!
Totally wish that I’d booked for this now
Matilda II, Queen of the Desert! The best tank of the Desert war!
oh cool, shame the bolt action community near me is really small
The light in the room is so eerie, it’ll be interesting to see the effects when the games are covered
Great prize
s, have a great weekender guy
s.Strapped in and ready to go! Queen’s Own Yorkshire Dragoons for the win!
Looking good! Wish I was there. One of these days I’ll make it across for a boot camp. I loved my Bersagliere in FOW. I wouldn’t mind some small raiding forces for Bolt Action.
I’ve always wanted to start an Afrika Korps army. Love the stories love the battles. Excited to follow all weekend
The Western Desert campaign has always been the most interesting for me as it featured so many quirky incidents in the often confused fighting. It also had an environment that was equally as inconvenient for both sides.
Very nice prize. The gaming tables are superb.
Wish I could be there again. Next time. Hoping everybody has a wonderful weekend. Including midnight kebap and maybe one or two pints 😀
The tables look epic guys, can’t wait to follow this over the weekend.
Looks like a great weekend.
I don’t play bolt action yet.
It looks very tempting.
I need more armies!
Looks like fun. I have just finished painting Boba Fett for Star Wars Legion and working on a camo scheme for the Imperial Scouts.
Exciting to follow this during the weekend, it is an interesting part of the war.
