DEBUNKED: The Submachine gun is actually in hipfire position. I misread the sprue and thought the detached mag meant it was reloading, or something. But it's actually a 2 part assembly with the left hand holding the magazine. First time I've seen this on a Warlord Sprue.
One of the nice things about about the rules of Bolt Action is that an SMG is an SMG, so you can always give a guy a spare MP40 or something and say he captured it. My late war Germans have some spare Soviet weapons mixed in
great review looing forward to seeing some of these. i will probably do a fall of France. but i will look into the chasseurs a pied and see battles they took part in as they look great.
Plastic french + greenstuff + civill war cavalry = plastic french cavalry. I always bring a unit of cavalry when I play my soviets. 18" charge is nothing to shake a stick at. I'm preparing a D&D game. I miss bolt action though. You guys have fun with your armies. And remeber - - a painted miniature rolls better dice than an unpainted miniature.
Good video. Not sure of others approach, but as I've already got the Warlord French metals and the Wargames Atlantic for base infantry, this new box will probably have me model, three squads, one each of inexperienced garrison troops, Chasseurs and engineers. Should round out my army pretty well for the 1940 campaign.
@@HollywoodWargaming I think you're probably also right, the way it's done looks like you could rotate the gun arm up slightly to have a reloading pose or rotate it down to the side in an off hand pose (albeit with the mag missing). Quite a versatile piece.

I was waiting French plastic model, because metal ones are expensive 😅
Really great sculpts. I have a box and love them.

I'm still holding thumbs for Plastic Finns

One weird French squad rule: the standard infantry squad its the MG loader who can take a SMG not the sergeant.
I'm keen to do wlg belgians but the cost is killer, maybe a plastic kit one day.
i wish they'd make a late war US infantry box set with the m1943 jacket and new boots
Great video! Although Im still waiting for a htb italians lol

Wargames Atlantic has French
These look very promising.
Fingers crossed Russians finally get an updated kit.
The Russian update is long overdue
Pretty sure the SMG is in a firing at the hip pose; top left of the previous slide behind the guy firing the rifle grenade.
Ah good eye! I see now on the sprue. The magazine hand is separate. First time I've seen Warlord do that. I assumed it was in a reloading pose.

Already got a starter army ordered. Always wanted to try french or belgian but all the metal detered me, Untill now.
Wonder if they will release a Polish kit?
Pretty sure they are WAY down the priority list, especially since they arent played very often. I imagine the fins could be next with a plastic kit
Is there a Chinese army? If so can you guys direct me to the right direction? Ty
Google "Bolt Action Chinese Army", one of the top results should be Warlord games' page with the rules pdf
*plástiquè
Wargames atlantic keeps beating warlord with these kits
They are, plus they’re cheaper and I think they offer more
