I'm starting to put together a Bolt Action Band of Brothers starter box. Essentially Bolt Action is a table top WW2 war game. First indications to me is that it can be highly themed, and cost significantly less than Warhammer 40k.
First up, the starter box itself. I also got some expansion boxes for snipers and what not. There is actually a ton of products to be had. Soo, I'll try not to get too sucked into it.
First I put together my US Paratroopers. I'm leaving the heads off at the moment, to make them easier to detail paint. All the packs, shovels, ammo bandoliers, etc. will also be painted separately.
The German Heer team is put together, though I don't have any shots of those guys. Biggest difference is that they have a half-track. The box also came with some terrain which I also assembled.
I also took the liberty of buying some extra terrain. The terrain building part is a ton of fun. Some of the buildings you can get are made of MDF and pre-painted. All you have to do is PVA glue them together. And they come apart like a nesting doll so your minis can occupy the building. Pretty wild, and not very expensive at all.
The roof parts come off to expose the attic; but, I forgot to take pictures of that at the time of this post.
I found another company that does MDF laser cuts of house for CHEAP. This little home only cost me $4.00 USD. I need to give it a quick paint, but it also has the roof come off to expose the interior.
I've also got a pre-painted church to put together as well.
Tomorrow I have a ton of priming to do for both factions and the terrain. Then I'll need to develop some type of painting process. Generally in the past I've done groups of 5-7 minis. This time around I'm looking at upwards of 32 not counting vehicles or terrain.
On the up side Mrs. Aur0ra145 has expressed interest in playing this game with me, especially after seeing some of the terrain pieces getting built up.
