Bolt Action kit bashing - veteran Fallschirmjager

The kit bashing bug for Bolt Action continues to bite and in this video I outline how I went about building a veteran Fallschirmjager section for my Bolt Action late war German project.
As with my other kit bashing videos, I have used various bits and pieces from across four plastic kits by Warlord Games - Fallschirmjager, Grenadier, Blitzkrieg and USMC.
I built this section as I wanted to have a unit of dedicated veterans that would stand out from the rest of the Fallschirmjager units in my force. This has been achieved by using a whole host of parts from the plastic sets outlined above to create a unique and personalised unit. In the video, I explain which specific parts I used to build the individual figures within the unit.
If you have any questions or comments, just pop them below and I will certainly respond to all comments and questions. If you enjoyed the video, please give it a like and consider subscribing to the channel for more gaming goodness!

Great conversations mate. Always great to seeing lots of variations in a unit

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers Dom! Certainly agree with this, with the versatility of the plastic boxes from Warlord Games its pretty simple to sit down and in a couple of hours have a very unique and personalised units :)

Great conversions! Deffo spices up your units love it.

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers Jonny! Definitely agree with this. Really very simple combining of kits to create units with a lot of character 😊

Great update. I like how you've used inspiration from real life in you miniatures.

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers buddy! I often browse through reference photographs to see if I can see anything unique or odd that I can bring to my projects :)

[@62seano]

Another great job Ste, really like those

[@OnPointHQ]

Thanks Sean! I'm really pleased with how they turned out and can't wait to get them painted up :)

[@abelpaoli6836]

Nice mashup! Brush varnish over the gaps to fill them, it works great!

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers Abel, much appreciated buddy! That is something that I have never tried before but am now intrigued......I normally use liquid green stuff to fill any gaps but I think I'll give varnish a go next time. Thanks for the tip! :)

[@IDICBeer]

Nice work fella, they look great

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers Nick, I have definitely enjoyed all this recent kit bashing and I'm pretty chuffed with the results :)

[@emmetminiatureswargames2424]

Very nice. Do t really do conversions or kit-bashing myself, takes me long enough to assemble and paint the basic figures! Might give it a go though.
Look forward to seeing them painted. Which colour/camo scheme are you using? I started some metal Artizan ones in their tropical uniform but I’d like to do one of each - tropical, standard camo and early ‘Green Devil’. Lots more to buy!

[@OnPointHQ]

Thanks Lee! I definitely experience this too - after I have put together the units, I'm like 'hmmm.....now its time to paint them!' I have taken the easy option for my Fallschirmjager and have painted them up all in plain field grey jump smocks rather than use a camo scheme, allows me to get through them a lot quicker! I would like to put together a couple of sections in tropical uniform for North Africa and Italy :)

Try turning the rifle upside down on the loader

[@OnPointHQ]

This is a great idea and one that I had never even considered! I've got a few more plans coming up for kit bashing so I think I'll be trying this :)

[@karln524]

@@OnPointHQ or go from right shoulder to left hip or left shoulder to right hip.

[@OnPointHQ]

Sweet idea. I've got some more kit bashing planned over the next couple of days so will look at a way of trying this 😊
