The first supplement has arrived for Bolt Action: Third Edition! Here's your introduction to Armies of Germany from Warlord Games themselves...

Armies of Germany is coming! The first new Bolt Action supplement in the wake of the new edition brings with it new and revised rules for fielding the might of the German armed forces on tabletop battlefields, all wrapped up in a glorious package! Full of fantastic miniatures photography, historical background, superb artwork, and not least, comprehensive unit profiles, it is an essential tome for any Bolt Action player; even if you don’t play Germans, it’s nice to know what you might come up against!

Armies of Germany will be accompanied by a flurry of new miniatures – including the full release of the recent Fallschirmjäger (Winter) plastics (found in the Battle of the Bulge starter set), and an all-new set of plastic infantry. We’re particularly excited about these. There’ll also be all-new starter army boxed sets for both troop types.

New Units, New Rules!

We’ve collected many of your favourite German units from the many books across the previous two editions, and collected them in one volume – alongside the well-known classics are some new faces, and plenty of weird and wonderful variety, allowing you to create the army you want, just the way you want it!

The new national special rules expand on and replace those found in the Bolt Action rulebook, giving you a force full of character, and enabling you to theme your force to a greater degree than ever before!

A Brand New Special Figure

Our ever-popular book special figures are back with a bang for Third Edition, and Armies of Germany has an absolute corker – we recently teased the silhouette on social media, but here’s your first look at legendary Gebirgsjäger sniper Josef “Sepp” Allerberger in all his glory:

The perfect model to represent a sniper, Allerberger is packed with character, from his distinctive Gebirgsjäger uniform to the camouflage-draped umbrella, and makes a great addition to any German force, as well as an amazing opportunity for painters and hobbyists!
