Bolt Action: Operation Sealion Minis

This and Hicksy producing late 30s British infantry might drag me back to temperate climes, spent the last 4 years doing sandskrieg

Yes, interesting choice for him. Nice figures too as always. They'll match Warlord's 1pdr crew.



I wonder if he'll opt for Lewis Guns or Brens?

Some BD infantry with P14 rifles and BARs would be good, as would normal BD infantry; or just everything in fact, Warlord figures mostly do nothing for me.

Nice, good to go for the Arab uprising In Palestine, if you were so inclined.

One thing in favour of Voldemort Games figures is that they are partially recycleable. You take the weapons, pouches helmets and other bits of useful kit from their sprues and apply them to properly sculpted figures.

I have not come across Hicksy, look like great miniatures. Where do I get them from?

Paul's Mutton Chop range is available from Empress Miniatures. These particular figures are not released yet though.

Paul Hicks was the original sculptor behind Bolt Action Miniatures. You'll probably have seen huge numbers of his sculpts across a wide range of genres. He's exceptionally good (in my opinion!). If I ever had lots of disposable income I'd be asking him to sculpt a Vietnam range. Probably not going to happen though.

Gefreiter StefanSteve, he did a range for Vietnam, but the french vietnam. The Vietnamese can be used for the american vietnamwar. The range is now driven by FNG and distrubuted by empress. Wonderful figures.

Get in line... and I imagine it's a long one. 

If you actually sat down and counted the number of ranges and companies he sculpts for, I imagine it would be a very impressive list. He still produces the occasional figure for Warlord too.

I'm not sure he sculpts 'adult themed' ranges but I suppose you can always dream.

His near domination of the sculpting world is handy. Quite a few ranges are compatible that otherwise wouldn't be. I'm planning on mixing some Empress and Brigade games minis in a current project and it's nice to have the same sculptor, especially across two ranges which really have little commonality otherwise.

Boom-tsh!

Yes it's true, buying across ranges is a minefield and while I might get excited over a new release, it quickly pales when I realise they will look odd next to what I have already. Knowing the same sculptor has worked at least in part on two ranges does make life easier.

That being said I've bought Blacktree in the past and thought they had five sculptors working to produce a four-figure pack.

That explains some of the BTD Sci Fi figures I've seen where it looks like four blokes have worked on one sculpt. Presumably they had short attention spans.

Yes, I've seen those and very much like the look of them.

I hope to god the new warlord stuff just goes for fixed heads

If you fancy a gander at a larg-ish Op Sealion game we did a 'biggy' last year with BA version 3.
