Great video!! best war gaming channel there is

[@theministryofminiatures]

Wow! HUGE thank you 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the comment 👍🏻

[@mikewoolnough3774]

Great video guys. Was good to catch up with at the Open Day.

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thanks, was great catching up with you guys too… always good to have a chat. Hopefully see you both soon 👍🏻

[@Edward-Plantagenet]

RP - The Godfather of Wargaming. Always great to see. Great video. Looking forward to BA 3, really enjoying Hail Caesar 2 and Epic Napoleonic.

[@theministryofminiatures]

He was great in conversation outside of this forum, we had a chat later which was nice, such a wealth of knowledge and experience!

[@kevinpaulson2659]

I’m in the USA and could not attend but I wish I could have!

[@theministryofminiatures]

Ow that would have been a long journey! Luckily I recorded some bits to share! Thanks for the comment 👍🏻

[@joehendrson3815]

Wish they had a store in the US I would love to buy stuff but 25 dollar shipping on a 9.95 or 25 dollars box just not worth it hope things change for example Gen Anthony Nuts Macffic is 9.95 but 20 sipping just not doing it

[@theministryofminiatures]

Isn’t there a local distributor? I know Warlord Games have a whole network in the States. Maybe email them to find out 👍🏻

[@joehendrson3815]

Yes but select items you can't get atleast not all things. my group get together sometimes and we do a bulk purchase which is helps however rare item are not always available even Amazon don't have bolt action full line love warlord just would hope they sipping thing cost could be lowered for smaller purchase I bought the buffalo soldiers set for 35 and paid almost 60

[@theministryofminiatures]

@@joehendrson3815 I can understand your frustration, shipping costs would be annoying, especially at that rate. Great idea getting together to put orders in to reduce the postage costs 👍🏻 Good luck 👍🏻

[@kazutogamer1870]

Wait warlord games has a local distrubuter in the U.S do you know where it is?

[@theministryofminiatures]

Not sure if they are local, but they do have a US Warlord Games, not being part of the company I don’t know what the details are… I thought they had a distribution through the US side!? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Hope there is something that they do To help you out 👍🏻

[@richardgreen364]

Love seeing the Sayer miniature 😊

[@theministryofminiatures]

Yes, very nice. I have ordered one, have you bought one?

[@TwisstedSage]

Subscribed because Tim of Napoleonic Wargaming recommended.

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@CharlesMcCall-nf9xq]

That would have been a great way to spend my birthday…

[@theministryofminiatures]

Yes, I would imagine it would have been an amazing day to celebrate. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎂🎉 Hope you had a great day nonetheless 👍🏻

[@petermueller5069]

Wow. Lots of information in there. Love the focus on Konflikt 47! Funny that I will get an updated Japanese army list for Konflikt earlier than for bolt action. (The one in the bolt action 3rd edition rulebook is very sterile and flavourless with generic "medium howitzer" instead of a proper name and all tanks of the same armour value thrown into a single army list entry)

[@theministryofminiatures]

I know, the Armies of… will be desperately needed to add the correct units and name in each theatre. Interestingly, we are planning on doing a small campaign for K47 to get our armies up in preparation for the new rules 😉🤞🏻👍🏻

[@thefireonthehill]

Fingers crossed for Rogue Trooper.

[@theministryofminiatures]

They did talk a little about 2000 AD, but they really didn’t give much away ! Keep everything crossed 🤞🏻

[@markwarne-d1y]

Really good business strategy

[@theministryofminiatures]

Indeed, they seem to be doing well and there is a lot of hype for their new releases.

[@markwarne-d1y]

@@theministryofminiatures They run a very successful business, though I do have issues with their 28mm Ancient range of minis due to different sizes of figurres

[@theministryofminiatures]

I think there is scale creep in a fair few of their figures, GWS did the same. If you look at earlier stuff and current they are not the same size!

[@gamerhalim4717]

I wish they selling in Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@theministryofminiatures]

That’s a shame, there may a distributor nearby that might be able to supply bits, but Warlord would know who. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻

[@waferjuice]

the 2 hosts looks drunk

[@theministryofminiatures]

Lol, maybe, I think they were enjoying themselves at the front of the room.

[@rickpriestley4569]

Entirely sober I'm afraid... bit knackered having had to park round the block and hurry in because the place was rammed!

[@theministryofminiatures]

…thank you for your time and sharing your experiences, and of course your comment. It was certainly a fun and entertaining forum, and talking to you ‘behind’ the scenes was very interesting and informative. thank you again 👍🏻

[@CliveDongle]

Wow this was really great to see the new releases! Love it 🙌

[@poppyi1618]

Yes such a good video!

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you, really appreciate the comment 👍🏻

[@Recruit_Painting]

Awesome video!

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment 👍🏻

[@Megamix472]

Thanks for the fantastic video👍

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you, it was a great day, long, but great 👍🏻

[@RubberToeYT]

Great showcase, the new releases cabinet was a nice touch

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you for the comment, it is quite an interesting place to visit, with loads of cool toys!!!

[@dbwarhammer]

Hi how did it go? In 3.12 of the video are they English vehicles over factions

[@theministryofminiatures]

It was great, apart from my phone/camera breaking! The figures in question might be Hungarians, the label Was for British vehicles behind, the troops seemed to be linked to the Hungarians next to them. Lots of new stuff in the cabinet!

[@dbwarhammer]

@@theministryofminiatures a ok thanks 😁👍🦆

[@theministryofminiatures]

No problem 👍🏻

[@tennisonfarrell8978]

Thanks for the video. I would love to get my hands on the lrdg sets.

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thanks for the comment- Have you seen my video showcase? I love the LRDG!

[@tennisonfarrell8978]

@@theministryofminiatures no I have not, I’ll have to check it out now.

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thanks, they are both great vehicles and troops… I now need to fit them into Bolt Action 3rd Edition games

[@HawkwardPause]

22:28 - what is the 'Field Manual' - or are details on that light at the moment?

[@theministryofminiatures]

There are plans for a new player book and maybe starter set, very much back to basics around collecting, building, painting and playing the basics of Bolt action v3.

[@HawkwardPause]

@@theministryofminiatures awesome, thanks

[@theministryofminiatures]

@HawkwardPause no problem

[@danielfrank8677]

I’m all in, just waiting for my book to arrive. Have never played bolt action so no old stuff clogging my head. My only problem is that I honestly, do not like the Warlord miniatures. Tanks and other hardware ok, but dang it,I just can’t get with their chunky, comic style infantry. Looking seriously at AB miniatures. And keep my tanks for Actung Panzer exclusively. Yers in iron and curr fayced dogges, Dan

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thanks for the comment, there are lots of other manufacturers for both infantry and tanks etc. Join the Bolt Action Facebook page and I am sure lots of people will share their recommendations, from Perry to 3D printing 👍🏻 Thanks again

[@stompingfreak8980]

Why didn’t you film the lower shelves of the cabinet….

[@theministryofminiatures]

Hi, mainly because it was really busy and to get that low would’ve been a trip hazard. I had to wait for there to be fewer people in front of me so that I could get the shots I did. Sorry
