More World War Two STUFF!!

 Mostly from Warlord Games... ostensibly for Bolt Action... 

There are... 

1x Italian Tank kit (can be built as 2 versions of M-tank or 2 versions of Semovente!)

10x USMC Raiders

1x USMC MG team

1x USMC Mortar Team

2x USMC HQ

2x USMC Medics

1x USMC Casualty

10x Italian Colonial Troops 

1x British 8th Army 6-pdr Anti-tank Gun and 3 crew

1x British 8th Army 2 Pounder anti-tank gun and 3 crew

1x German Afrika Korps LeFH 18 10.5cm medium howitzer and 4 crew

1x Italian 100/17 Modello 14 medium howitzer and 4 crew

1x Italian Bersaglieri Breda 2cm AA gun and 3 crew

WHEW! This should keep me busy for a bit... There are a few more of the cheaper Italeri tanks inbound (2 more Italian, 3 Panzer III). But I probably need to cool it for a bit and get some of this assembled and painted! 

(it is a lot... but even with this added, I've STILL painted MORE than I have acquired so far this year!!) 

WHERE TO START!?

  2. Good score! I have a cheap Sherman from Italieri that I'm very happy with.

    1. Thanks Cory!

      Wait... only ONE Sherman!?

    2. Actually 3. The mk 1c from Rubicon is my favourite, then there's 1 Warlord, and 1 Italieri. Those two are similar in complexity, with some small differences in detail, but one of them was much cheaper.

    3. I thought the Italeri and Warlord ones were identical kits!? The warlord kits were basically made by italeri and reboxed to sell as "Bolt Action" things? Is there a local place in Calgary that stocks Rubicon, or did you mail order it?

    4. The bodies are identical, but a couple of the bits are different. The Rubicon was mail order, and I got nailed with a UPS brokerage fee.
