Who isn’t tempted by German paratroops armed to the teeth and sporting their distinctive splinter pattern camo smocks? Not us, that’s for sure! So, we’ve pulled together a few deals to entice you: Save Il Duce! Mussolini had been deposed and an allied friendly government set up that was moving Italy’s resources to the Allies,…
We recently came across a disk full of images from previous Bolt Action painting competitions. There are some cracking entries and we’ll be showing them off again over the next few weeks on here and in our weekly email newsletter. We couldn’t wait to start though and here’s the winning entry in the 2007 competition:…
Hot on the heels of the Fallschirmjäger boxed set these new releases from Bolt Action Miniatures will give your elite German Paratroopers much needed support. First off we have an excellent looking PaK 40: While the size of this field gun cut down on its mobility, the power and effectiveness of its 75mm x 714mm…
Dropping from the skies are our Bolt Action Fallschirmjager! These German airborne troops are true elites – respected and feared by all who faced them. As with our other Bolt Action boxed sets this one offers great value for money. The world’s first paratroopers to be used in large numbers, the German Fallschirmjager were at…
You’ve seen plenty of his work over the past few months but we’ve saved Neil at Troop of Shewe’s King Tiger paint jobs for the New Year! The biggest landbound vehicle in the Bolt Action range (the impressive Bronekater patrol boat is even bigger!) the King Tiger was also known as ‘Royal Tiger’ by British…
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! Here’s a quick heads up on some of the new stuff: First off we have one of our forthcoming Tank hunter models. Obviously, he’s laden down with Panzerfausts and Teller mines as he…
Following on from our release of the Kubelwagen last week we have another German light vehicle – the Schwimmwagen! The Schwimmwagen four-wheel drive amphibious vehicle was used primarily by Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS units as a replacement for the motorcycle and sidecar combination in recce units. The most mass-produced amphibious vehicle in history, the Schwimmwagen offered…
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…
