    Thanks so much for boot camp part 1 and 2 so far. As I said in the comments of the last video, I'll be following along every episode! Really great work and you're doing us newbies a solid.
    I took the plunge and picked up the Island Assault starter set and got a code to pick up the 3rd edition rule book. Should be arriving in the post any day now. Initially, I'm going to be focusing on the IJA so will use your lessons to build those forces.
    Thanks again!

      You have a pretty good start already with those armies… check out my 8th Army and LRDG showcase videos I did, it will give you some ideas for painting and basing.
      Good luck with your new adventures and thanks for the comment 👍🏻

    Just getting to bolt action via the bulge starter set, lovely change of pace from painting space marines. Can't wait to see more of it from this channel tbh, excellent looking armies, really gets me excited to paint more little germans and americans.

    Useful series for BA. My only problem is I really hate paying a subscription to use the app, it’s very GW. So I will probably use easy army or just pen & paper.

      I tried to give the main options for building armies, I do however think that the Warlord app is very good, but do understand that some don’t want to pay for this when there are free options 👍🏻
