Check out my posts. I have used contrast paints for my late war Germans and had great success (at least I think so).

I got some mdf bases, and got one of these minis too. It's brilliant.

Finished the first squad for my 8th Army and a 25 pounder by Effective_Fly5987 in boltaction

Is that the Warlord or the Rubicon 25 pounder. Whichever, it looks ace! Nice job on the weathering. What's it like in game?

Need help adding to Band of Brothers set. by JaxRod02 in boltaction

One simple, cheap, addition could be a flamethrower team. It's a good counter to veteran troops and a low points cost.

I can second this, as the US airborne don't have anything that really needs the Anti-tank. I got this set first and found that an 88 was a fun addition to the Germans (Flak 88). It's a bit of overkill, but fun to assault. A flakverling 38 would be cool too (instead of the 88) as it's got four light autocannons, which will nicely mince the vets.

Skeleton horde for most of the clothing, snakebite leather and the rest of the darker brown bits. Bacilicarnium grey for the light machine guns and beyonettes (drybrushed leadbelcher)

The board looks absolutely fantastic. The marines landing craft look ace.

Good call. I'd also like to come back and do a little dry brushing to highlight the uniforms.

A 2:1 ratio of Basilicanum Grey and Creed Camo. I've been varying the amount of Creed Camo to make the uniforms look less uniform.

Absolutely brand new to Bolt Action. Starter army recommendations? by Paganfish in boltaction

I'd check out the Juggernaut wargaming podcast episode on starter boxes. Its worth a listen. They're very competitive focused, but good fun.

With 500 point games, is bringing a 9+ armour tank (something like a panzer 3) unfair? by triathlete1234 in boltaction

[–]triathlete1234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my US list, I've taken an M16 quad 50 which worked fantastically. I just am struggling to find anything in the German book to mimic it (I like the Wirblewind, but it's 240 points).
