Some people paint their minis, some just wear uniform 🙂

I’m thinking about getting some Rangers due to the fact the can carry flame throwers. Getting quite a bit of inspiration from the uniform videos too.

I think the engineers can have a flamethrower imbedded to their squad in Bolt Action, but the actual ranger squads can’t. Although, their free Run move before the game starts (provided they start on the table) can be nice. Of course if you are talking about the Rangers box set, yes it does come with a flamethrower as well as a couple of Bangalore torpedoes. That was how I got my flamethrower.

One of the things that is clear from these uniform videos is that the troops on the field would often improvise on the basis of experience in the field as opposed to the theoretical approach of the uniform designers.

I can’t tell if I like the live vehicles or the uniforms more. So great to have that there, and really incredible how they’ve been recreated.

What a great idea for back of the helmet.

I wouldn’t like that blue patch either, seems out of place

@warzan, you know you are going to need to get the cosplayers in for the infinity bootcamp, and do the same kind of uniform run down…”so Tabitha, you are wearing the standard issue Pan Oceanania…”
