I'm sure it's better read than dead!

I want both the German & Sov books, but I'm not in too much of a hurry – it's too the rule book's credit that you don't need the bolt-ons to get stuck in, the army lists in the main book go a long way.

Now available on general release this is the Bolt Action supplement we've been waiting for, comrade – Armies of the Soviet Union is now available to order in our webstore!

Soviets!

This book provides Bolt Action players with all of the information they need to field the military forces of the Soviet Union. From the bitter urban warfare of Stalingrad, through the Winter War against Finland, and the final drive to Berlin, the detailed army lists provided in this supplement allow players to construct Soviet armies for any theater and any year of the war.

Contents

  • Introduction
  • Army Lists
  • Theaters

Written by none other than Andy Chambers, a copy of the Bolt Action rulebook is needed to use this supplement.

Soviets!

When you buy Armies of the Soviet Union from Warlord Games, you also receive for free this exclusive 'For the Motherland!' figure that depicts a commissar proudly flying the Soviet flag as he fights the fascist invaders. Za Rodinu! Za Stalina!

Soviets!

As a great companion to Armies of the Soviet Union, we have our plastic Soviet infantry box set and our plastic T34/85 medium tank.

Stalin's Red Army was revitalized by the release of our Bolt Action plastic boxed set – Soviet Infantry! With a massive 40 miniatures in each box and a bewildering variety of poses, weapons and equipment, you have everything you need to defeat Hitler's forces. Death to the German invaders!

Soviets!

As you can see below, you get an absolute stack of troops in the boxed set. Painter Alan Mander built three eleven-man squads, a sniper team, anti-tank rifle team, and an officer with two subordinate Red Army comrades. Of course, this is just one way you can build the contents of the box – there is a staggering number of options to choose from.

Soviets!

Warlord's second 1:56 scale plastic vehicle was the iconic Soviet T34/85!

Plastic T-34/85

The T-34 series, with its sloping armor, changed the principles of tank design during the war. The sloping, angular layout of the T-34 increased the effective armor thickness, and also saw a larger proportion of shells deflected away than penetrated its armor. The introduction of the T-34 into action saw German tank design follow suit with similarly angled armor on the likes of the Panther and King Tiger. As German tank design came to the fore, the Soviet war machine once again raised the bar with the T-34/85.

Plastic T-34/85

The box contains one plastic tank, assembly leaflet, and a fantastic decal sheet. Please note the models is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

We have a comprehensive range for Soviet players in our webstore, including the KV-1, KV-2, Iosef Stalin-2 and Soviet Command.

Death to the Fascist invaders!
