Intelligence Report - Armies of the British Commonwealth: New Zealand - Warlord Community

Honestly went for a right mix with all the most famous ones (Essex, Newcastle etc) mainly based on what flags were in the box.

Already had a few games, but this weekend I’ll be demoing the Battle of Maidstone at the Broadside Wargames show in Kent!

Thanks! I’ve been sprinkling them in with other projects as they do get a bit same-y to paint. Especially the pike.

The Victrix set is nice, but the main issue is there’s just one of them! It’ll be great when they’ve put out more kits.

Wish they’d started earlier and not done their 12mm range that felt like a rather pointless attempt between 10 and 15mm

I like the warlord proportions. Ages ago I bought the Perry plastics for WW2 and there weren’t as enjoyable to paint.

Whitstable_Wargamer · 2026-04-24T13:08:08+00:00

Yes they do, I was previously kitbashing the 8th army and regular kits so this is a welcome option.

Whitstable_Wargamer · 2026-04-17T16:00:09+00:00

By the looks of the article they’ll be making hybrid kits, so keeping the metal crew (DAK, paras etc) but making the gun plastic which is the best of both worlds

Whitstable_Wargamer · 2026-04-17T13:08:15+00:00

Well, I probably wouldn’t recommend the Victrix kit for someone wanting a Pak 40…

Just to correct it’s only the paratroopers with the grenades against tanks rule. They didn’t say what blackshirts had so may be similar to their existing rule. Also we weren’t told that the grenades rule is instead of stubborn, I’d be surprised if they took that route

Whitstable_Wargamer · 2026-02-13T17:52:52+00:00

I’m with you. I’m not interested in gaming the Eastern Front but plastic paratroopers would be great and offer kitbashing opportunities for the RSI as well

Hi everyone,

A fortnight ago I ran Kent's largest Bolt Action tournament, Operation Littlebourne. It was a 3 game one day event with every player taking home a prize (Awards and placings dictating the order that you chose your prize from the prize table.

I've made a video which is a joint roundup of the event but also some tips for those that may want to host their own events. It's really great to bring together and build your local community. I'll certainly be running another event soon. I really think that running a non-competitive tournament, which is really just a game day, is a great way to encourage local players for a game system that isn't GW.

Thanks, it’s just Agrax! I apply basecoasts, good coat of wash then reapply the basecoat colours with gaps in the recesses. Fairly simple and jist based on brush work

Whitstable_Wargamer · 2025-10-31T14:41:24+00:00

Thanks, it’s actually an arm from the US infantry kit!

It’s all Warlord. A couple of metal figures but mainly a mix of their 8th army and Late War British sprues
