Loved the Army painter Battlfield Snow. Thanks.

I used the Army Painter Battlefield Snow on some terrain. Like you said 2 thin overcoats of this product makes for a great finish.

Could you replace "Heer grenadier" group by a LW "Herman Goering" field div group?

very poor assembly and painting, also - decals on the shields are shiny.

Very cool mate. The project is coming together really well.

No Red Steve 😊.

Battlegroup works really well in 15mm too 😉

Could I buy the older core sets and use them in the third edition? Or are they obsolete now

Will you redo your bolt action basics videos where needed for the changes?

Great example & nice to see laid out

How did you make the Humber scout car a headquarters unit

Plate/ picture interchangeable. Just my age. I love that there are so many others giving this whole Zulu project a go. Much chanting and spear bashing.😊

Hey! @slowwargamer here and as always i appreciate your very nice beginner videos!

I have a question. Can I used 1/72 scale troops etc with the third edition? Do I half the distance do to scale?

This is most excellent im also looking to do the same, though I plan on focusing on the Indians at imphal, I was tempted to just go with the Perry’s Italy line but I do like the chunky warlord sculpts and they are easier to source in the US

British list looks very fun, but youre gonna need more boots on the ground, thats what I learned the hard way on my first Bolt Action v3 game :P

Nice video and interesting lists! one thing I think is not very clear on your video is that each Rifle platoon unlocks 1 other platoon from each of the special platoons. So on your first list, you don't really need the second rifle platoon, you could just put all your infantry on one rifle platoon and then have the armored and heavy platoon as you have them. This will make you loose one commander thou

I found them a nice break from bulk painting but am now thoroughly enjoying pulling all of my Zulus together. You’re doing a great job. Hope the huge game at Crackcon becomes a reality. You are certainly speeding towards it!

I agree, the Army Painter ‘Battlefield Snow’ gives A great granular appearance. Thanks for the ‘Heads up’. Already using it on terrain in preparation of receiving Bolt Action 3 starter set. I think you are right that two coats applied with some thought gives an even better result. I will be buying some Vallejo mud. Great stuff.

Hello from the future, just assembled one from the Achtung Panzer starter box and my word the instructions were useless. I had to look at yours to work out where some parts went. So thanks past you.

Couple of things; A) those minis are VERY well painted! B) that list is about as historically plausible as the film Patriot. Why? You've got Fallschirmjager, who fought in their own, separate divisions, with their own support elements, paired with a Grenadier squad, from a separate Infantry Division, paired with a Company command vehicle from a Panzergrenadier Company, in a Panzer Grenadier Division, (and the first Abteilung at that), and... at this point I give up. Now, please don't misunderstand me, they are YOUR toy soldiers and you can and should be able to do whatever the hell you want with them. But you've got troops from at least TWO separate Divisions acting together in what is supposed to be a "Company-level" game. If this is third edition Bolt Action, then it's in danger of becoming 40k with rifles instead of boltguns. Again, please don't take this the wrong way, because A) it's a good video, and B) I subbed on the strength of it. Just because I don't like bolt action 3rd, doesn't mean I don't like your content.

Have not decided what I am building yet but have a fairly decent Late War German force including 3 Panthers and I will see if I can adapt to the new rules when they arrive with the new starter set. I also have lots of Late War British Infantry and 4 Shermans and a Firefly but fancy doing a late War American force next and the miniatures in greatcoats should be a good basis to start

Great video mate. Keep em coming.

You dont need 2 rifle platoons, each one unlocks one of each type of additional platoon

If people are taking large rifle sections, the heavy mortar is a better choice, it gives you a much bigger damage template, the best I've managed so far with Germans is 21 order dice for 1246 points. Warlrod have specified that armies should be based on 1250 points. Your 4 Britisih tanks only gives you 12 MMG shots and 4 shots with HE or AP, tanks are no longer viable for the cost, especially when you take the cover save rules into account.

Any advice for building home guard?

I'd be tempted to take a British late tank platoon of three Shermans and a Firefly. Warlord must be trying to shift some of those tank platoon boxes they sell.

Hi Ste, why did you split the rifle squads into two platoons?

Bro, do you even German? 😉

I have had all my Toys out making lists. Lots of fun. My fav so far is lots of little SAS units

Thanks for the video, Ste. It was very informative. I've got my rules on the way and can't wait to start playing around with different army builds

Thanks for this, Ste. I played a little bit of the old Bolt Action, but now am really excited about getting stuck into the new version. I have way too much 28mm WWII still sitting in boxes so this is going to give me ideas for plenty of projects.

Great video Ste. I’ve been playing around with lists today, so much easier and more fun in V3.

Don't have the rulebook yet so sorry if this is a dumb question - but does the platoon leader only affect his platoon for snap to and morale? Does that mean that a medic can affect everyone but only his platoon commander can affect him? The other thing that struck me as I watched was that this way of building a force does seem to run counter to the German kampfgruppe idea where ad hoc multi-type units would be formed for the assigned task.

Thanks for explaining how to 'build' 'bolt action' v3 armies.

That's looking good with alarmy hope if you ever get round to playing it will do well🤠🤠🤠👍👍👍🏆🏆

Excellent stuff ste,very informative and well explained,one day I'll get back into ww2

Great way to try Shield designs on figures that would probably have a random mixture in reality.

If you fancy a palate change Steve you might like this. Plastic Perry Zulu. Add one of their Native Natal Contingency Metal heads ( these are brilliant!). Now add a roll of Milliput to give him a blanket’ The only Red is the headband 🙂

That was an enjoyable episode, thank you. As to the benefits exactly what Pat says below plus the reading around the history and uniforms. Overall it provides a great therapy and relaxation. Cheers.

Sorry Steve I omitted to say for ‘Red’ shields.

Humbrol ‘Track brown’ Matt looks more realistic than Perrys painting guide Steve. Zulu Dawn was the reference point.

At 2'10 you mention something that sounds like "Normal Oil" I think for the wash. What is that exactly? The transcript doesn't help unfortunately.

3:17 I use exactly the Same Paints!

I didn't know Rubicon had USMC! I got the Warlord ones and the US Infantry from Perry Miniatures!

Thanks for the podcast guys; an excellent benefit of the hobby. For me I think it is the process of making things to get a feeling a satisfaction and achievement. And if you can then use it to have further fun then even better. 😀

I have discovered the Americans for me! Really in Love with their Modell Range! The M10 Looks great!

These look awsome! Now i am inspired to open a box of landsknechts myself, still have some laying around😅😂

These are great Ste. The thing I like about painting them is that virtually anything goes; and it doesn't really matter whether they are historically accurate. They will always look good massed together.

Holy Coloured Codpieces Batman! Fantastic looking work! Really glad to hear you are still chipping away at this one - take your time, the results you are getting are fantastic :)
