A new year and a new taster of things to come for our Pike & Shotte range! First we have a preview of the sculpt for that stalwart of the Parliamentarian cause (or dirty rebel, depending on your loyalties), Oliver Cromwell. Seen here sat astride one of our plastic horse (his trusty steed is being…
Whilst we provided several full colour flags in each of the plastic Pike & Shotte infantry and cavalry boxed sets you are very keen for even more! Your wish is our command and we’re delighted to be able to preview a new range of colours for this range: We’re kicking off the range with four…
Small but perfectly formed, the Hetzer was a very effective tank destroyer due to its small size and low profile. Here we present the Bolt Action model expertly painted by Neil at Troop of Shewe: The Jagdpanzer 38 (also known as the SdKfz 138/2) was an efficient and deadly tank hunter. Its low profile, sloping…
Our Fallschirmjager boxed set will be released in January along with some tasty new models for the airborne forces of the Reich!

We know all full-blooded Allied Commanders are never satisfied with just stock vehicles in their forces. Therefore you can now add a hedgerow cutter to your Allied armour. An ingenious attachment that allowed Allied tanks to cut through the bocage hedgerows in France, the Cullin Prong was widely used on Shermans and Cromwells. The Cullin…
As this is being written, it’s quite a week for Bolt Action Miniatures releases so we figure we’ll go the whole hog and look at some more great paintjobs by that nice chap Neil at Troop of Shewe. First off we have a GMC CCKW Deuce-and-a-Half truck. The model comes in two variants – with…
Widely used across the German Armed forces in all theatres of operations, the Volkswagen Kubelwagen is as iconic a vehicle for the Germans as the Willys Jeep was for the Americans. As such we simply had to add it to our Bolt Action WWII German range. The Bolt Action Kubelwagen is a beautiful little rein…
