Bolt Action: Operation Sealion Minis

[Chico]

I prefer the Warlord ones if I'm honest, guess I'm just used too that style or that it's just cool to hate on Warlord and i'm too fat to be a cool kid hehe (Please note I'm just joking around with you lads.... I'm not too fat hehe)

[Kommando_J]

I find the warlord release style very confusing, instead of releasing everything at once or in stages leading up, the release of sealion stuff has been erratic, for instance right now the second book is out but most of the releases this week are GoA.

... or that it's just cool to hate on Warlord

I'm not Anti-Warlord, I have shelf of their publications altogether. I just don't think much of their figure sculptors in the main; which is obviously my subjective personal taste. Won't stop me buying vehicle models and what have you from them.

Mutton Chop are bringing out RN sailors in the near future

Sold! 

Been looking for some of these ever since the Regiment games ones disappeared. My fondest hope would be that someone would do a pack in tropical kit but I accept the extreme unlikelihood of that.

Pulp Miniatures

[Calimero]

Pulp figures are very nice... some with tin helmets would be a welcomed addition to the range.

Regiment Gamen were excellent figures too, I wonder if they're still in production somewhere...

Pulp Miniatures

Cheers but I'm aware of those, what I should have written was square rig with shorts. Might have to stick with the 'B' option which is converting Eureka's footballers.

[Kommando_J]

Why not convert perry miniatures? They have shorts and helmets, just green stuff on a rig.

I will say this about comparing the two,while I love Paul Hicks sculpts...they can be a bit too delicate especially blades/bayonets etc. I like warlord sculptor Wojeks works, not so sure about whoever is doing the new aussies.

Cos they are too small and having aleady had the fun of having to shave off web anklets to make some Malayan police, I don't fancy them as source material.

Just talked to warlord online, the official release date of Operation Gigant is the 29th although books are being sent out before then...a  little miffed by the whole thing as with the supplement/minis coming out so late it doesn't give much room for actually getting involved in the online campaign.

[SABOT]

I was thinking the same in terms of the online campaign - Cart before the horse?

[Kommando_J]

Yep, as I have said elsewhere, it would make sense to release all the stuff at the start and give everyone time to actually build and paint their forces for the campaign beginning...instead we have scattered releases with two different supplements and an entirely new game being dropped in the middle, you could be forgiven for not realizing that warlord is gearing uo towards this campaign...that they are running at the tail-end of the holidays.

[Kommando_J]

Also apart from one painting studios work on facebook, I have yet to see any of the new stuff actually painted up.

Friend with prime showed me the new video, looking forward to the book, a few observations:

Ira units from the looks it are improvised with up to two rifles, two shotguns a smg and a pistol for the leader as firearms options with no restrictions on at least half the squad being armed with improvised, should make running small squads of footsore miniatures much easier .

One of the vicker vlb tanks in the book looks to be a plastic version.

The sports teams squads look a bit ridiculous, novelty value only.

The officer cadet patrol force looks interesting.

ww1 tanks are now available to ldv, buf and ira.

The book is thinner at 64 pages.

Received mine today. Yes, thinner volume but it's ok . I don't follow it closely just stimulates ideas . Some decent photos.
