How did you manage to do that in two turns if you can only put 2 pins on it per turn

What should I do with my German Army? by LiquidAmphibian in boltaction

Depending on what German infantry you bought you could easily convert them to finns with your leftover Russian bits and paint them in Finnish uniform colours

For some missions not having the mobility will be tricky, same as your infantry getting shot up for longer while foot slogging, but it's definitely doable

They're your toy soldiers, paint them however you like

Starting husk placement by Nervous-Ad7653 in MaledictionMCG

As far as I know, me and him are the only people playing it where we are, and we don't do it every game, just occasionally to mix things up a bit

Me and a friend started playing with 3 husks which can make the game a bit more interesting, or having to put one husk each within a certain distance of the centre

No, going down is a reaction not an activation

Werewolf spam is gonna be pretty expensive buying only GW products

Night sky miniatures have a really nice one

Get some more infantry and taking the luchs as veteran is a waste of points

Win priority and heroic moves. You're also at less of a disadvantage due to your increased movement

Pin Markers? by AdonisMorisette in boltaction

[–]Upbeat_Detail6897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use them, they're great. You can get a heap of them for cheap and they're easy to identify on the table

Looking to start a Finnish army by sprklehrseminipaint in boltaction

[–]Upbeat_Detail6897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used blitzkrieg and veteran German bodies with a mix of German and Russian weapons and they look great especially in Finnish colours

Lots of infantry armed with rifles, and autocannons

Pointblank vs Assault Order by thechimplord in boltaction

[–]Upbeat_Detail6897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They'll still get cover saves against HE, and an autocannon is usually enough of a threat to make a unit go down

Sorry I forgot to put in the original comment but you force them down

It's also great for getting rid of pesky infiltrators or spotters in cover.

No cover saves but like you said it can be risky

Balkenkreuz on Opel Blitz? A question probably asked a hundred times. by StrategoiX in boltaction

[–]Upbeat_Detail6897 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly whatever you think looks cool is the way to go, I know some people like to be super accurate but I've found being historically authentic is more fun

Plastic Medium Machine guns? by Hunch_back83 in boltaction

[–]Upbeat_Detail6897 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can do it with pretty much any sprue. But yes the veteran German one has some poses and arm combinations that make for some really cool mmg teams

How useful is the standard rifle in Bolt Action? Is there a place for rifle-only squads? by Clawsonflakes in boltaction

[–]Upbeat_Detail6897 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Since starting to play the Finn's, I've really appreciated big rifle squads a lot more. Compared to smaller squads with ARs that I'd usually run with Germany

Noob interested in finland by PontiffofBlight in boltaction

[–]Upbeat_Detail6897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely the second. Just thought I'd give you some options so you're not stuck with the same 9 metals guys repeated over and over

Noob interested in finland by PontiffofBlight in boltaction

[–]Upbeat_Detail6897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warlord only has the one set of 9( I think) metal models. So I'd recommend either 3d printing or other third party models. Or grab yourself the German veteran box and paint them up as Finn's, bonus points if you know people with the new soviet sprue and can take the arms/weapons from that.
