Those are some odd looking IJA, why are they all so tall....and blonde....
BANZAI! Everyone knows that every german player secretly wishes to collect the best Axis Faction, the Empire of the Bamboo Spear ;)
the obsession for Assault Rifles makes it sound like competitive gaming is the only way to go and therefore, you want late war models. I think this looks great and you can play many a fun game with early and mid war models, which is all I've done so far. That Pz IV is a lovely kit btw.
Found this channel like yesterday and I’ve already watched like 6 of these videos, it’s about time I subbed lol. Congrats on the sponsorship!
Oh thank goodness. I am just finishing my STUH42, the last element of the Grenadiers starter set. With this, while I paint I’ll be able to make sure my wife goes to bed alone for another 4 months.😅
The sprue comes with flamethrowers! Amazing bits!
Each sprue has 2 MG34, flamethrower, GrB41 (grenade launcher) and an ATR.... it's packed so full, they had to put heads on a seperate half sprue!
The new German Veteran infantry pair super well with the other German plastic kits. I would recommend getting one box of Grenadiers, Waffen SS, Winter Germans or Afrika Korps in addition to this starter set if you get it. The extra infantry will give you more options for poses and weapons and this new kit is generic enough that it’ll mix well with any of the other kits. Only additional note is that while you can paint the Waffen SS to be regular German Heer in splinter camo smocks, the arms on them have very different sleeves, so while they will still mix well on the table, you won’t be able to mix the arms up. Heads yes, arms no.
This is great for 1941 to 1943.
11:30 The uniform on the models is early war, which is why there are no assault rifles.
Bolt Action has broken into the Mainstream and its just amazing!
I need to check this game out at my hobby store. It reminds me of Axis and Allies from Hasbro
This is the INFO I NEED.
This is the kit I've wanted all along. It's even inspired me to get a 3d printer and start printing all the Stalingrad terrain I can find.
"I love a solid infantry corps!"
Who doesn't Mordian, who doesn't 😏
This is a great box for an early war build!
It's honestly great for late war too, as far as I can see from the photos on the Warlord store. Looks like you could use parts from the Grenadiers set interchangeably, and I plan to do so. I'd much rather make a Sturmpionere platoon out of these new Veterans, who will look slick next to my Grenadiers, instead of the old Blitzkrieg-era box I've got on hand.
I loved the Grenadiers box set.
I am going to love this box set.
I am never going to get around to another nation at this rate!
Published a comparison review of this kit and the other two released soon (Winter US Army, Winter Fallschirmjager) on Monday, this is the least with regards financial value (compared to the RRP of over £170 for the US Army is everything was purchased seperatly!).... This is still intended to be a four platoon set, with an engineer platoon replacing the artillery platoon in other sets so far.... A Flamethrower, GrB41, ATR and 2 MG34 per infantry sprue gives you a lot of options.... who needs assault rifles!
I am expecting this sprue to replace the current 'Pioniers' set though.... those metal parts are great, but generally only fit the actual blitzkrieg models.
Do the new sprues come with light mortars?
Under 3rd ed, the light mortar is kind of standard for a rifle platoon, and I'm curious if they'll be including light mortars in the regular sprues, for all rifle platoons. While the inclusion of lots of flame throwers are okay, they are something limited to the pioneer platoons, and therefore not something that I need in large numbers. My sole flamethrower at the moments is for an SS recon force that was assembled uder 2nd ed, and is no longer valid. At the moment I have to include any light mortars for my heer or SS by using my Afrika Korps and hoping no one minds the colour being off.
No mortar on the sprue, but in 3rd Edition, the mortar isn't part of the rifle platoon. It's part of a separate heavy weapons platoon.
So the Veterans army box will include a medium mortar, but you won't be able to make them from just a plastic veterans sprue.
For my Grenadiers, I got the mortar upgrade sprue for the Hanomag and kitbashed a medium mortar team of my own. It came out pretty nicely, but I just ordered the Heer heavy weapons team which has one in Warlord resin.
@@HeadHunterSix To be clear I was asking about the light mortar, not the medium or heavy. The Afrika Korps box has light mortars on the sprue, while the grenadiers and waffen SS do not. The rifle platoon includes options for 1 sniper team, 1 anti-tank team, and two mortar teams. Unlike mortars in the heavy weapons platoon, these mortar teams can't be upgraded to either a medium or a heavy mortar.
Already I have to buy two box sets (Afrika Korps and Grenadiers/Waffen SS) to get my mass of assault rifles and light mortars to create models for my platoons, plus at 39 points for a veteran light mortar, and the ability to take two in a rifle platoon, that is a cheap and cheerful way to bring in mass indirect fire, without needing to bring in other platoons.
@@davebeattie9573 OK, thanks for clarification. Looking at the sprue on the Warlord site, there's nothing that looks like a light mortar. But I could be wrong, hopefully!
I never played BA at all. So BA3 is my start. Looking forward to trying it.
Well, have been contemplating building early war armies lately :D
Nice addition to my Blitzkrieg army.
I have made 3 infantry squads with platoon commander, 2 light mortar and 1 anti-tank team out of one box of Afrika Korps and the now old German Grenadiers. I will paint them all in Feldgrau. I am not sure if I will take the new starter army. It depends on the price I would say. However, even if I would not buy the starter army box, I will buy at least one box of the new German Grenadiers. The models look very good and I can use some StG 44 from the old Grenadiers Box for the new models (hopefully).
Regarding the tanks I am considering to buy the "Achtung Panzer" German Army box with 3 Panzer IV, 1 Tiger and 1 Hetzer.
It is interesting to note that this is not necessarily any better than previous releases. Yes there are two MG teams, but there is no artillery, A/T guns or Howitzers. Kind of balances up the contents of the box against the previous box. I play Brits and with a second starter box plus a few ancillaries I will have quite the force for 3rd Ed and additional units for something else.
might get the Italian starter set
would be nice to see some new late war grenadiers, maybe some winter ones wearing the winter reversable parka's...would be handy, as i don't buy the look of white snow zeltbhans lol...bit of stich bitch i know but its too obvious for me
I’m one of those people getting into bolt action with 3rd edition. Do you think I should wait to buy anything until they release more 3rd edition starter armies? I’m planning on making USA and German armies so I can host battles for my buddies who can’t quite afford their own armies yet.
I just started with my Fallschirmjager army, I have battle for the bulge and one platoon of infantry. Deciding where to go now is a bit more difficult.
Wait until next Wednesday day, I will be covering the winter fallschirmjager starter army :)
@MordianGlory thank you, or baie dankie from South Africa.
Hello. I need some help if anyone can. Just got into bolt action with 3rd edition
I have the germans from battle of the bulge. Ive already also purchased and rightly or wrongly so
The heer winter HQ box
The heer winter heavy weapons team
Il paint them in the same scheme as the falls from battle of the bulge but im not sure on my next step or if what i have bought there is a mistake?! Ive not opened but i dont want sell as really like them. Have i made ok choices? What should i get next? What platoons can i built up?
I was thinking of a stug and a panzer 3 tank next? Then maybe another infantry squad?
Any help appreciated. Ive played 2 games so far and love it. (Ive got another question on pins. Do they stack to the point that you cant roll a 4+ to hit as you have been pinned 3 times) Thanks.
I pronounce the G in Germans like the G in GIF. Drives the haters crazy.
Must...not....grow....my pile of shame....
I don't like working with resin unfortunately
Its not really resin! Its a resin plastic mix and its much much better!
It''s apparently something like the Siocast that Corvus Belli has recently begun using for their Infinity models.
Whereas old plastic-resin composites (like the "restic" that Mantic used) were basically the worst of both worlds, this stuff seems to have the advantages of both.
so, the new vet set is resin???? not a traditional plastic kit?
no its plastic.
@plastikpanzerfactory6733 ah that's what I thought. Must haveis heard what he said..lol doh
@@normannobrot The basic box is plastic. Only the 4 character models in the army box are resin .
@@nicofolkersma2535 I didn't realise there was character figures included lol 😂
I've already got 2 German armies, but I'll probably be looking to pick up the new infantry to make some pioneers.
Pz IVd is kinda bad, but everything else is great.
Yeah, I would prefer an H, but at least it will finally let me use my lone Pz IV H in my army again.
Germans.
It annoys me that Perry Miniatures do WW2 so much better than Warlord.
