warlord games plastic T34/85

On the positive side, it all goes to funding the next wave of releases... 

I wonder why noone uses this argument when it comes to GW pricing....

[Raxxus]

So, you guys missed that you can buy one seperately?

No, we just noted that they are cheaper if bought in lots of three.

[Raxxus]

Ah, alright.

[Calimero]

Is it just me or warlord have the bad tendency of not showing the sprues of their plastic releases… I find it really annoying

[leonmallett]

On a related but broader note; since Warlord are taking on plastic vehicle kits now, has there been any word of them doing a plastic jeep?

[Raxxus]

I was thinking I could make a post apoc vehicle out of a t34/85 although without the turret and extra armour.

But do you nééd 3 tanks? 

what would you do with a smaller amount of tanks

Feel puny and less of a man, to be honest. 

[answer_is_42]

All your opinions are invalid! This is clearly a totally absurd/ fairly reasonable price for a 28mm tank from a company that is clearly/unfairly labelled as a GW clone! I am outraged/ pleased to see this release and hope they produce more/collapse in financial ruin! 

...oh, am I too late? Damn. Always next time, I suppose.

(£18 does seem a bit steep, actually, but I'll leave it to others to argue this one...  )

I totally agree/disagree and enjoy/detest Your attitude

Because they have shareholders... and they are just bad. I don't know why they are bad, but they are, I read it here somewhere.

Yes, that's how they come, like infantry, in units. Sometimes they come in fives, sometimes in twos, but very rarely as a single vehicle. I could say the same for heavy weapons too, but I'd probably have my home surrounded by a torch bearing mob.

In Bolt Action they come in singles, as the games is built around a single reinforced infantry platoon. It is also built on the premise that your 6x4 table is mealy one small part of a bigger battle, and so while tanks are certainly deployed in threes, or fives or what ever, there is only one available in your bit of the battle. I know it's a bit of a leap, but there you go. That's Bolt Action.

I imagine this will become a sort of catch phrase for the game somehow... not so much because of the rules, which I like, and which also show a lot of promise outside of their original use, but due to some of the people playing it.

From comments passed on the forum, I'm already imagining someone explaining to Churchill that he should drop the Bren from the army's TO&E, as it's not worth the points just for an extra fire dice.

Unless your not playing bolt action or you alter it to suit your games/scenarios, just like every single rules system in existence
