WARLORD Bolt Action Neuerscheinungen / New Stuff

Merry Christmas Hobbyists!

This year we're bringing the gift of new miniatures. These fantastic new Bolt Action products are now available for Pre-Order! Feast your eyes!

M5 Stuart Plastic Kit

This new versatile plastic kit can be assembled as either an M5 Stuart, M5A1 Stuart or an E7-7 Mechanised Flamethrower, and to boot is suitable for many a Bolt Action army, including US, British, Soviet and Chinese.

M5 Stuart Platoon

This platoon set gives you three of these tanks to assemble as you see fit, whether you're looking to field a three vehicle platoon of a single variant, or want to add one of each variant to your army at a discounted price against purchasing three separately.

Soviet NKVD Squad

In 1941 the Soviet Union's fortified borders were manned by units of the NKVD (People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs). These units were almost entirely destroyed in the first weeks of the campaign. After this, NKVD troops were chiefly used for internal security, but could potentially fight on the frontline as they did at Stalingrad in 1942 and during the Crimean Offensive in 1944.

Soviet Airborne Squad

The Soviets were visionaries in the development of airborne troops and tactics, first forming a brigade-sized airborne unit after successful trials in December 1932. More units followed and by June 1941 five Airborne Corps existed in the Soviet order of battle, undoubtedly the strongest airborne force in the world. However, in the desperate fighting of the early campaign these formations were pressed into service as regular infantry and virtually consumed.

Soviet Anti-Tank Teams

The armies of the Soviet Union had many weapons at their disposal to counteract the threat of German armoured formations - from orthodox anti-tank rifles, oddball 'Molotov Cocktail' throwers and the unconventional use of dogs as living anti-tank mines.

That's all for now. We'll be back in the New Year!

After our initial 500 boxes selling out in less than 24hrs, we've asked the warehouse to pack up twice as many this time!

Solo Play Rules

These rulesets will allow those of you in the throes of lockdown to continue to enjoy some of your favourite Warlord Games at home. As well as re-highlighting all the rules we've previously featured, we've got brand new solo-play rules for Strontium Dog!

Strontium Dog - Bounty Hunter

These rules adapt Warlord Games' Strontium Dog skirmish game for solo play. You take the role of a mutant Search/Destroy agent, tracking down wanted criminals across the universe.

Judge Dredd - The Graveyard Shift

The night‐time period between 2100 and 0500 hours is known as the Graveyard Shift to the Judges patrolling the streets. Mega‐City One erupts in an orgy of crime, with only the Judges preventing the city from descending into total chaos.

Victory at Sea - Tokyo Express

With their isolated garrisons in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands under sustained attack by US forces, Imperial Japanese Navy planners needed a way to resupply their embattled troops.

Erehwon - Tomb Robbers

Claim the riches of the Valley of Fire with the warriors of the Hashima Clan. Explore the sprawling tombs but be wary of cunning mechanical traps and undead warrior guardians, not to mention marauding orcs.

Remember today is the last day to pre-order our Epic Battles: American Civil War boxed set (or Pre-Order Bundle) if you want to receive the exclusive miniatures pictured below; Confederate General Robert E. Lee and Union General George Meade. To guarantee that you'll receive them, you must place your order by 23.59 GMT today.

Video Painting Guides

The very talented Pete the Wargamer has provided video guides on how to paint both Union and Confederate infantry over on the offical Warlord Games Youtube channel.

We've also put together bundles for the colours used by our studio painters. Particualrly handy for those who picked up an Epic Battles sprue early in the latest issue of Wargames Illustrated!

The Second Great Mystery Box

After releasing our last mystery box, we were overwhelmed with emails and messages from customers who missed their chance to grab one!

We've also listened to your feedback, watched your unboxings and looked at your loot-piles on the Facebook pages and changed the contents for our second haul of boxes, and we've created 1000 more, with even more stuff crammed into them!

Grab yourself a guaranteed saving on every box, With a minimum of £85 / $136 worth of goodies stuffed within!

Stock up on medals? Was that a spoiler? a leak? Whatever could they be talking about....

D-Day: British & Canadian Sectors

Pre-orders for the second in our Bolt Action campaign book series, have begun to arrive through your letterboxes. There is still time to order and claim an exclusive pre-order book miniature, but hurry, this offer ends Friday!

The Die is Cast: Collecting Caesarian Romans

Veni, Vidi, Vici. In death, the Romans made him a god. In life, Rome's enemies suffered Gaius Julius Caesar's wrath as if he already was one. Caesar was simply the greatest military commander that has ever lived, and thus is a fascinating subject for miniature wargaming.

Getting The Most from Konflikt '47 Starter Armies

Chris Hale talks us through the contents of each of the starter boxes available for Konflikt '47 and provides suggested army lists for those venturing into the world of the Weird War for the first time.

The Rating System in the Age of Sail

This pack contains 16 cards and 7 tokens to allow your Age of Sail historical fleets to be used as the Kingdoms of Men faction in Armada, including ship cards and specific fleet rules. Test the mettle of the Kingdoms of Men against the great nation of Pannithor and marauding Orcs.

The Second Great Mystery Box

After the overwhelming response to our second wave of mystery boxes, there are only a small number left to be claimed!

With over £85.00 / $136.00 of goodies stuffed within, each box represents a huge saving against purchasing separately.

What Warlord hobby goodness will you find in yours?

Weapons include the Lee Enfield No 4 rifle, Bren light machine gun, Sten sub-machine gun, 2-inch light mortar, PIAT anti-tank projector, Webley service revolver and Mills Bombs.
