Bolt Action - US G.I. Squad 01
When I was putting together my Easy Company figures I purchased a few sets of American G.I.s from Artizan Designs. With the figures I had left over (they come in packs of four figures) I had enough to make up a single squad of infantrymen to use in Bolt Action. Here they are -
The section is led by a corporal at the far left. He is armed with a Carbine. These are all regular Late War infantrymen.
Three of the squad are armed with .45 Thompson SMGs. Whilst not strictly legal rules-wise I am including them anyway. At the far right is the squad's Browning Automatic Rifle user.
The remaining five men are all armed with M1 Garand Rifles.
I like this range a lot because the figures are very well sculpted in a variety of realistic poses. They certainly complement the Warlord Games plastic American Infantrymen very well. I have a box of 30 of them to make and they're high on my to do list.I am now expanding my American army to include airborne troops and regular G.I.s.

Another great looking unit Bryan, sounds like these models are very useful
ReplyDeleteCheers, Dave. I certainly have no regrets in buying them or in recommending them to other WW2 gamers.
DeleteThe paint job is very nice. I would not worry too much about the use of the Thompson SMGs. I would not care if the odd squad had a few extra automatic weapons particularly if you paid for them in the game. Soldiers had a way of acquiring preferred weapons during the course of a campaign including things like SMGs.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, CC. You are absolutely right, of course. Warlord Games even make US troops with captured German weapons, even though there are no official rules for them.
DeleteDo you ever sleep? Another productive week.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha! Yes, I do sleep, Phil, but I pack in a lot of work during the day.
DeleteI am very impressed with your work and your enthusiasm on these Bolt Action minis. Little details like those sergeant stripes really stand out and show how into this range you are. Can I ask what paints you are using? Also very keen to see your posts on the Judge Dredd release! A very enjoyable read.
ReplyDeleteGreatly appreciated, Undercoat. I use the Foundry triad paints - shade, base colour and highlight. Obviously for my "Bolt Action" figures I'm mainly using their various WW2 paints.
DeleteThe new Judge Dredd game by Warlord Games will get a lot of coverage over on my WOIN blog.
A cracking bit of work Bryan.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Frank.
DeleteNice work Bryan. The Artizan minis have a fab selection in there range.
ReplyDeleteI'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteMy name is Olisa Blessing, I am so joyous. I never imagine I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
ReplyDeleteI never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real.
I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
Beware of impersonators,
Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
