Top stuff, really enjoyed this, i can feel the pull of bolt action calling me again 😀

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Cracking little game, not so much an historical game, more of a game with historical models and equipment which is fun to play.

[@wargameexplorer]

I hate the Warlord anti-tank guns like the Pak-40, that don't have instructions on how to put the fiddly bits together. Drives me crazy.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Yeah, I struggled with the Soviet ZiS3 on the same basis.

[@Sheepdog416]

The instructions are available on the order page for each item

[@dm51964]

You can chop and change some of the winter plastic Germans and the Afrika Korps arms and heads to create some nice variation

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Sweet, thanks for the tip

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

Oh, you said it right there...putting them together...aye!

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Booom!

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Excellent unboxing guys well worth the money

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Certainly in his case!

[@KFK47]

cool unboxing lads keep up the good work.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Cheers mate.

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

Amazon gift cards - love em. That’s funny, it’s been a year. I’ve never done that. ; )

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

I never had a gift from work, despite more then 10 years...

[@Subcomandante73]

Lucky they didn't send a box of German Grenadines by mistake.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Haha, I dunno, might have been alright

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

Love me some puma - especially Th every war model

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Which one, the 6 wheelers?

[@jvcpaints]

And you didn’t immediately contact Amazon and tell them they made a mistake? Shocked! Shocked I am! 😂 sometimes other people roll 1s and you reap the benefits. I just picked up the British Airborne box. 100% agree on the weapon/arm molds being way more conducive to quicker assembly and less gluey fingers. This looks like a great starter for anyone wanting to get into doing late Germans.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Oh nice, are you doing painting vids on those paras?

[@jvcpaints]

@@ModellingforAdvantage Yes, I am but it'll be in about a month as I have a hard on for Ancients recently. lol

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Nice... we are having a peak in that direction ourselves

[@FrostandFists]

Great unboxing as always, gents! LOL, I'm like Johnny B with untouched kits in my stash. 😅 Also, I can totally understand the frustration with models that are supposed to be the same but can be really different. ~ Wolfbrother Methos

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

I have decided Jonny B has too many unpainted models and like a wicked uncle I am rationing him now!

[@FrostandFists]

LOL! Don't come for me, too! 😅

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

@@FrostandFists maybe I should hide under the stairs and steal your modes whilst you sleep!

[@skavenmatt3904]

I'd like a video on assembling the metal AT teams and MMG teams. I have 6 german MMG teams I've tried to put together for some reason, and not any 2 of them fit together the same way

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

I am not convinced I would be any more fortunate than you to be honest. Next one I get to I might leave the camera running then decide if it is useful footage....

[@skavenmatt3904]

@@ModellingforAdvantage youre a real like hero my friend.

[@jamesleahy9922]

I was adding a few Panzerfaust to my units and ran out, I ended up using a waffen ss arms to add one. Cleaned them down to look less bulky but they fit pretty well onto the torso :)

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Good to know, thanks for the tip.

[@alexv1387]

Tip by a German: the plural of Panzerfaust is Panzerfäuste, Panzerfaust = Tank fist, Panzerfäuste = Tank fists😉

[@jamesleahy9922]

@@alexv1387 thank you sir :)

[@BrushQuill]

Thanks for the look in the box guys, looks like a great mistake to recieve.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Jonny B, just born lucky.

[@Kevin.Mitchell]

That is a good value set (specially for £35!) - big fan of the Warlord Grenadiers as there's a lot of room for customising them in terms of weapons and positions to put them in. Not a big fan of the metal anti tank guns though - suffered through a few of them over the last few months building up my German and US armies! 'Hiding your barrel kink with a bush' sounds like an arrestable offence.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Keep your eyes peeled for some US Vs. German content in the coming months.

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

So many unboxings.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Loads more to follow I afraid, after the drought of lockdown stuff is gushing out.

[@mattcappelli5822]

I started BA about 6 weeks ago with winter Germans and the models are excellent. A bit limited with how you can assemble the arms but I also got a Soviet starter army and I want to jump off the roof!. Assembling the arms with the weapons are verrrrry tedious. So assembling and quickly painting a Soviet army in my spare time ain’t happening!

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

I hear you bro... started a few Soviets from Warlord myself recently... so frustrating

[@mattcappelli5822]

Modelling for Advantage tell me about it! I spent 45 min today trying to match a weapon and a pair of arms to one figure! It will take an eternity at this rate.

[@AFatalPapercut]

my FLGS has a Soviet starter army in the used section of the store for $87. I wouldn't have even considered it but I opened the box and everything was already assembled, but unpainted. That's a whole lot of assembly I don't have to do. I'm not too keen at the moment on starting an entirely new army or else I would have picked it up. Not going to lie though....I'm still thinking about it haha.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

@@AFatalPapercut we are always thinking about the next army... the smart ones amongst us stop there. The rest of us idiots buy it anyway!

[@thewoodlandschoolltd3999]

British Airborne starts with 2 x Med mortars lol

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

... and why not eh?
