All that European war stuff may all be well and good (and it is!) but it’ time to branch out and as we’ve had stacks of requests for this theatre – it’s time to unveil our latest Bolt Action range – War in the Far East! We’re kicking this great new range off next month with our US Marine Corps.
Below are but a few examples from the new range.

As you can see the miniatures have plenty of dynamism as you’d expect from Warlord sculpts. This range is, as all new Bolt Action ranges are, using the Warlord Figure Head System of separate heads. As you know, this allows you loads of variety in your army.

This is just the start of things to come as we’ll be adding a lot more to the War in the East range – the British Chindits are all sculpted and off to the painters and the Japanese are looking superb. There’s lots more to come as well in the future – we intend for this to be a comprehensive range coverning the Pacific, Burma, etc.

The US Marine Corps range will be launched in early November so you won’t have long to wait!

sehr chic, hoffentlich denken sie auch daran, ein paar Japaner zu veröffentlichen. Man kann zwar auch ein paar Samurai nehmen, aber deren Lebenserwartung dürfte dagegen wohl äußerst gering sein :D

Ich weiss was du meinst... die Köpfe wirken irgendwie flach. Vielleicht liegt es aber auch an der Photographie. Die Photos sehen komisch aus.

What the hell is wrong with Warlord sometimes?You know they could afford to hire a decent painter. :sm_pirat_confused: The painting is so bad it\'s really hard to judge the product. :sm_pirate_stumm: If this was the best painted mini\'s they could get,then they would be better off showing the models unpainted! sm_party_graete It quite sad as they probably would look decent if they bothered to paint them right.

P.S.If I offended the painter then I\'m quite sorry,but these are not professional standards that one would expect from this company.

They advertise their ECW and Ancient ranges with dipped miniatures, not a big gap if you ask me  :whistling:  .

Nothing wrong with dipped miniatures if they are painted cleanly and highlighted nicely so the overall appearance is effective. ;) Saxon Dog and Warlords Romans are proof of that.These however above just look messy and badly blended and not painted with any care.That\'s what I meant when I said sometimes Warlord advertises badly painted miniatures that would be better off shown unpainted like those above.

Christopher, I know what you mean. I think their biggest mistake is, that Paul Swayer does in hiw photos in a white box with flash and a total zoom. This is why the details look so washed or unclean, it\'s the same with my polaks on their site. I saw the miniatures of big-Gaza (the painter\'s name) in flesh at Salute, and they looked very good.

I see,well then Paul needs to step aside and let someone who knows how to photograph miniatures get the job done right.I\'m very surprised this issue has not been worked out within the company yet. :sm_pirat_confused:

I think they might be trying to reassure less practised painters by showing rather \"average\" paint-jobs. Sometimes you see a miniature painted by a gifted Golden Demon champion and you might think: Why bother? That, as a concept, is quite noble and kind. Still, after I read what Regulator said, it is pretty obvious that the photography is definitely not helping. You got pixely colour transitions and a weird resolution that probably cannot do justice to a better looking miniature.

Leider ist bei der BAM-Reihe echter Müll dabei. Diese Figur gehört dazu. Aber dafür sind andere Sachen (Fahrzeuge) echt gut...

That could very well possibly be true(even likely),but that really only works for a small amount of modelers while most are inspired by at least well painted/photographed miniatures in general IMHO.

New: Bolt Action US Marine Corps Boxed Set! (http://www.warlordgames.co.uk/?p=8824)
We’ve long wanted to do armies for our Bolt Action range of WWII miniatures that are set in the Far Eastern theatre – the Pacific, Burma, etc. With the glorious The Pacific (http://www.hbo.com/the-pacific/index.html) television series by HBO now available on DVD what better time than now? So, whether you want to re-fight scenes from the series or re-enact other historical battles you can field a force of US Marines with this great boxed set (http://shop.warlordgames.co.uk/us-marines-corps-boxed-set-5150-p.asp).
 
[/align] In World War II, the United States Marine Corps played a central role in the Pacific War. The battles of Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Tarawa, Guam, Tinian, Saipan, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa all saw fierce fighting between Marines and the Imperial Japanese Army.
 Amphibious assaults, night actions, island hopping, fighting and dying over mere miles of sand, on top of an unbearable climate, all tempered the USMC into a force to be reckoned with. The picturesque backdrop of crystal clear water and lush green terrain stood in stark contrast to the horror playing out around them.
 Determined American men faced an equally determined, and to most of them alien, Japanese foe in some of the grisliest actions of WWII. The USMC and its bravery was made the stuff of legend during those dark years of war in the Pacific, and they continue to inspire those who enlist today.
 [align=center](http://www.warlordgames.co.uk/neo/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/PICT5662.jpg) (http://www.warlordgames.co.uk/neo/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/PICT5662.jpg)(http://www.warlordgames.co.uk/neo/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/PICT5367.jpg) (http://www.warlordgames.co.uk/neo/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/PICT5367.%20jpg)
By now you’ll have a stack of scenario ideas in mind so let’s have a look at what you get in the box…
 The US Marine Corps boxed set (http://shop.warlordgames.co.uk/us-marines-corps-boxed-set-5150-p.asp) contains the following 21 models:
 • Command: Officer, Radio Operator, Stretcher Bearer, US Navy Corpsman and US Marine casualty
• USMC squad: Squad Leader with M1 Carbine, 2 NCOs with Thompson SMGs, 1 Marine with combat shotgun, 1 Marine with BAR and 5 riflemen.
• Marine with flamethrower
• 60mm mortar team
• 2-man .30 Cal LMG team
 There is a sizeable range of models as you’ll see from the images below and as a result each box will have a random selection of some of the models (riflemen, Thompson-armed, etc).
 Once you grab a box of tough-as-nails USMC, you can add to your force by taking advantage of our handy USMC Reinforcements (http://shop.warlordgames.co.uk/reinforcements-431-c.asp). It’s a great way to order models individually (http://shop.warlordgames.co.uk/reinforcements-431-c.asp) and suit your personal taste. Have a look at what we’ve to offer in the gallery below. Click any model and you be whisked off to the webstore for purchase!
