Warlord’s Royal Navy Get Ready To Teach The Axis A Lesson
July 18, 2017 by brennon
One of the new metal boxes that popped up over the weekend from Warlord Games was the Royal Navy Section containing ten metal miniatures for Bolt Action.
As you can see the set gives you a good selection of models, all with individual poses (which is nice!) that are ready for battle against the invading German forces in Operation Sea Lion. I particularly like the fellows with their Molotov cocktails!
Most of the soldiers are carrying Lee Enfield Rifles although you also get yourself a Lewis machine gun thrown into the mix. They are useful soldiers for setting up assaults from sea-to-shore!
As Warlord also mention, their deep blue uniforms help provide a nice contrast to otherwise completely khaki looking British forces during the period too.
What do you make of these Navy boys?
"I particularly like the fellows with their Molotov cocktails!"
I do like a nice sailor suit. Well done Warlord
After all “all the nice girls like a sailor” 😉
Been watching the old UXB tv show about the bomb disposal guys in London. A unit of those guys to go into the war would be interesting.
These navy sculpts look great. They may just get painted for display.
Love the Tommy gun chap!
That is not correct: the NCO bottom row middle has a Thompson SMG, he should have a Lanchester. Also not sure if the RN used Molotov cocktails, I am pretty sure they did not. The RAF and Homeguard used SIP grenades — pretty much the same thing but no fuse for burning out of the top, just a sealed crown cap. Instead of a fuse, they had a white Phosphorus ball in that instantly ignited the fuel on the bottle breaking.
