Thanks for the look in the box guys. I think the best starter sets are almost like board games,ie they have all you need to play a game and its up to you whether you want to invest more or not.
Totally. I like think they need to start adding playmat with them these days.
This is fortuitous timing, I am looking to get into Bolt Action myself and was thinking of getting this set. Now I am sold! Thanks.
Excellent. Its a great little game.
Wow guys. I was hesitant to watch the unboxing of band of brothers, but i love how funny these yalls videos can be. I love the banter.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoy them.
That looks like jolly good value.
For anyone new to the system, definitely.
Best unboxing of this starter set I've seen. Great job.
Wow, thanks! I often worry these unboxings will not be very popular as so many people have already done them.
I don't need this. I already have all of this stuff, but you guys actually make me want to buy it. lol. Love your unboxing, guys. Heaps of fun.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
That sounds like it's great value for money and jolly nice of warlord to send you it
I had to ask ;)
I bought one of these starter boxes in February - I thought it was a great value beginner set, and I really enjoyed building and painting it all up as it my first foray into WW2 wargaming. I got one game played before the first lockdown and had a blast. I've subsequently ended up with 8 different armies and more scenery than I know what to do with...
Whoa, you got into it big.
@@ModellingforAdvantage Yeah - a one man escalation! I couldn't just leave it with Heer and Airbourne - the collector part of my brain went into overdrive and now I can recreate pretty much any late war scenario... Not got into the early war stuff (yet). I have to say, your Bolt Action battle reports have helped inspire me - keep up the good work!
@@Kevin.Mitchell extremely kind words , thank you.
love it guys and looking forward to what you do with this next.
Recorded this quite a while ago, actually made quite a bit of progress since then.
Very cool little starter set and a fun unboxing, nice one!
Thank you.
Nice unboxing, good starter set for this value, i would like the farmhouse and the pak.
Good stuff in there for sure. Thanks for watching.
Good video..and looking forward to even more of your great Bolt Action battle reports👍👍👍
We have been planning something fun for Christmas.
@@ModellingforAdvantage ooh a Christmas offensive? 👍
@@rich_john don't want to say too much as we are still in a lockdown here, it might never happen, but fingers crossed.
Ooh, lovely little bit of terrain in there by the looks of it
Sure is squire
By the way the colors of the order dice are random and pin markers can be either the red or helmet pin markers.
Yeah, I was assuming it must be random.
Don’t need tape measure, you have the fake ruler 😂 Great vid as always guys 👍🏻
You speak the truth!
I got two BoB sets and ended up with 2 ever so slightly different shades of gray dice for ze Germans and jungle green and sand for the Americans. On top of the two dice packs i picked up that also didn't match what I thought I had in the box...now i have like 3 shades of army dude green for one side and a few shades of army dude gray for the other. haha. I like those blue ones you got in your box as well haha.
I bought one BoB set at my FLGS at regular price and then found another complete and unassembled set on ebay a week later for only $40. What is interesting is the actual plastic between the two sets seems slightly different too in both color and softness if that makes sense. The lighter colored plastic also seems older than the darker colored one, almost like the plastic they use changed somewhere along the way.
Interesting point about the plastic. I have had some odd coloured bases from Warlord, but not figures.
Always enjoy your unboxings. Fun to hear your take. I’m not real keen on this box for beginners. It doesn’t seem like the points between factions match if you built everything as is in the box. Also, the biggest thing for me is the 5 order dice. So you have to buy a full pack of order dice if you plan to expand your army. So it ultimately limits the value. The models are great, but I feel like warlord had some better values for people who wish to get started in BA
It is definitely a box for total beginners, a lot of the value is in things most people would not need. That said, if you you are at the very start of the journey - it gets you out of the gate.
@@ModellingforAdvantage absolutely. Just stinks that it doesn’t have enough order dice if you have any intention to expand. So having to buy another pack really cuts into the value of this set. I know it would be more expensive, but I’d like to see warlord have a set that gives a full infantry box, all the accessories, and full set of order dice. But that’s just me.
@@mattcappelli5822 yeah, something for total beginners and something for expanding players.
Did you guys do a review for the other US starter box? The one with the M4 Shermin?
I am not sure we did. I have a list somewhere of the ones we still need to do. We will get to them all eventually.
Well.... get gaming! 😜Great Unboxing video! I just might... might I say... get a starter B.A. Set. Take Care.👍🍺👍
Do it bro, right after you paint up Kirk you slacker!
any one else who keeps trying to read the titles on the bookcase behind Michael
Yes. But a school librarian ought to be on librarything.com anyway...
Maybe I should provide a list.
@@ModellingforAdvantage well you know what i am like with books lol
@@ianjackson8643 Indeed sir!
Maybe I should do that... some day
Building mine out now.
28mm! Scale creep sir, welcome to the war Colonel.
my father . as young boy with his mates lived in a small village near southampton ( one of the staging areas . prior to Dday ) the americans and their trucks were all hidden in woods and under the road side trees ...... the only thing that was coveted . apart from sweets , that were given freely WAS THE MACHETTE that every truck had in its inside door pannel .... needles to say they didn't get one .... he was still very disapointed even when into his 80s
I love these kind of stories. If I were your father, I would feel exactly the same way ;)
Hi guys I have just decided to get into bolt action , I have gone for the 8th army and Africa corps as starter sets . Now I'm wondering if I should have started with the band of brothers box
It sure is a great little game. If you need the rules, tokens and stuff you will still get a lot of value out of the box. Sure you can't use the infantry sprues, well you can kitbash the german ones with your Afrika Korps probably. You can use the 251, but a lot of the value is tied up in the rules and such anyway. The little bit of scenery is pretty versatile too.
Does Kaiser have the same book shelf system... replete with the sagging weighed down shelves... and the same book collection... as Rich from TooFatLardies? My friend wants to know... :D
They are pretty cheap old book cases for sure. Sagging is inevitable!
@@ModellingforAdvantage I know right... basic furniture of the last thirty or so years seems to be of the "short lifespan" sort compared to the common furnishings of a century ago. We still retain much of the custom hardwood furniture passed down from the family through the generations. This stuff lasts for all eternity so long as maintained and yet it was common furniture in the late 1800's. Wouldn't change it out for any of the new furniture iterations. I tried to install "new generation" shelves... they literally buckled under the weight of my tome collection. :/

Sounds legit...
