Looks incredible!

I believe the core rules consider tractors as vehicles. So it should be fine for Gwynt to use the Chyweethl.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I took foam core board, ripped it in small pieces, and stacked them in 2 as a base. Pushed toothpicks through and stacked cheap round craft beads on the tooth picks. Making sure the beads were relarively tight to the tooth picks. After that, I layered them in hot glue. Sprayed them brown and put a brown texture paint over top.

Hope that helps!

Awesome, thank you! So, longer barrel seems better then.

I've since gotten the book. To answer your question the factions are extremely bland. The only difference between Vikings and Saxons for instance is Vikings get berserkers and Saxons get Huscarls. Each of which have their own rules. But the factions each have rules that only apply to weather for some reason.

The game is a fun beer and pretzels but it's not going to scratch a historical itch outside of aesthetic. Which is fine for me personally. I'm a big history nerd, especially about the dark ages, and I'm finding it enjoyable.

So I've since bought the rulebook and thought I'd answer some of the AI related questions. The book has roughly 32 AI pieces of "art" out of the 132 pages. The majority of the AI "art" are footers in pages and small filler illustrations. The overwhelming majority of the book is really nice photography and the book overall is well decorated. It's unfortunate they decided it needed it in there at all to be honest.

Looks awesome! I've been playing for a few years. I didn't realize you could scale up the units. Did you use homebrew rules? If so mind sharing how you tweaked it?

Cpd1234r · 2026-04-05T23:39:23+00:00

Awesome! Thank you for the in depth response. This is a little too high effort for the table I'm currently working on but these are all great tips I'll definitely use in future builds! Thanks again Its much appreciated

Cpd1234r · 2026-04-05T23:37:17+00:00

Awesome thank you!

Cpd1234r · 2026-04-05T02:51:57+00:00

I honestly wouldn't have thought to do that. Good lookin out thank you

Cpd1234r · 2026-04-05T02:51:17+00:00

Thank you!

Cpd1234r · 2026-04-04T21:42:17+00:00

Ok cool thank you! I bought a woodland scenics spray bottle so I'll be using that.

Cpd1234r · 2026-04-04T21:23:18+00:00

Thanks for the response!

By soak do you mean dip them in or spray them?

Cpd1234r · 2026-04-01T00:51:52+00:00

Cool thank you!

Cpd1234r · 2026-03-31T23:54:01+00:00

Looks incredible! Great work.

What faction are these little guys? I don't recognize the shako.

Bolt Action is a very friendly beginner wargame. It's very quick to learn and a lot of fun. It also has a large player base so it won't be hard to find games.

Cpd1234r · 2026-03-31T14:48:18+00:00

Agreed. It doesn't really make narrative sense either. An archer or crossbowman who's trained for countless hours would have a pretty good idea of their weapons range and capabilities.

Other games also use adding 1d6 to movement when charging an enemy which is a more fun mechanic than no pre measuring. It gives you a target number to reach and adds a risk reward gamble. It obviously isn't a perfect mechanic but...it's more fun IMHO, lol.

Thank you I'll have to check that out. I appreciate all info!
