Bolt Action: Western Desert Boot Camp Live Blog – Sunday
We're back for the final day of our Warlord Games Bolt Action Boot Camp. The armies have been getting stuck into the fighting against each other and we've been getting a great sense of just how brutal the Desert War really was.
Make sure to keep an eye on the videos from this weekend as you will be able to get stuck in and win some prizes and more thanks to Warlord Games.

That's A Wrap! Bolt Action Western Desert Boot Camp Sorted!
It has been a long few days but it has been a lot of fun. We have been showing off Bolt Action games galore, getting stuck into some grudge matches, delving into the unfolding campaign playing out across the Western Desert and much more.
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!
See What’s Been Worked On So Far!
We can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on and the kind of things you share with us.
Hopefully I can watch the special battle as it happens, lets see. 🙂
Cool prize. Does Jim ware his jim-jams at night ?
Sikh minis leading the charge!
Loving the new western desert stuff!
Grudge match 🙂
Love the desert theatre!
Looks like such a fun weekend, one day I will make it to one.
@oriskany will we see updates of the campaign map today?
Looks awesome!!!
Not much time for miniatures but as a fan of games like Close Combat or Panzer Corps it is really great to observe all this awesome work – terrain is just a marvel to watch.
The new desert stuff is awesome, important question though. Is there any bagpipes?
I’ve seen some in the pictures
@brochtree, yup, @soapdodger converted a figure into a Piper, looked really cool
Loving how this boot camps going!
Great job on those tables lads. Really helps set the atmosphere.
The live games are fun to watch!
I am going to have to watch Charlie vs. John after I get off of work on the vod.
I love the new western desert stuff.
I think for a desert warfare boot camp you should be dishing out dessert to the victors!
Not done any historical miniature gaming (unless you count Tide of Iron) in a very long time. In fact I think the last game involved dinky tanks than fired matchsticks and hurled marbles… yes… it was that long ago.
But I am toying with the idea… just as soon as I finish painting my mythical and SF miniature gaming troops…
What an amazing weekend. I gotta go to one of these just to party with you guys!!!! lol…. love the tables. So cool.
Last day! I hope its a spectacular for you guys as it is for us watching online!
Just drove in from Switzerland. Where do I click for the live Live Blog?
Seeing a lot of faces that I recognize! What a blast that must have been.
I love the Tobruk Table!
Awesome stuff
The Ark! Hahahaha
the tables look amazing!
