DLI Infantry in Sicily. A new army for CoC & Bolt Action
So here's the first squad (plus) of a new army. In this case; men of the Durham Light Infantry in Sicily '1943.
It has to be said though, that they will have a dual purpose as representing New Zealanders in summer dress in the Italian mainland campaign.
The figures are Warlord games plastics; British and Canadian infantry 43-45. But i have kitbashed parts from their 8th army box set, mainly the weapon arms in shirtsleeves. After doing so, the sword bayonets needed to be exchanged for 'pig sticker' bayonets to be correct.
There are also some other parts from various Warlord Games' kits in there...can you spot them?!? Answers on a stamped, self-addressed envelope...;)
Now...where are those British airborne I need to finish...? (there's always British airborne to be finished!!)
Stay safe and keep your brushes moving. Regards, Dan.

Thanks John! Glad you like them. I waited some time with baited breath for the new plastic British to come so I could execute the kit bash, but I'm even happier now after getting the feedback- thanks! Incidentally, i love the railway stations youve just done and the how to ..on the railway track from sprues was brilliant! Thnaks again, Dan.

Podcast EP24: A chat with Jon Russell.
In this bumper episode, we are joined by Jon Russell of Warlord Games fame. In addition to his dedicated work for Warlord, Jon is a multifaceted wargamer and also veteran of many years service.
In this episode we spend time learning about Jon's wargaming pedigree, before learning more about his role at Warlord, the writing of 'Bolt Action: Korea', and Jon shares with us what he can about what Bolt Action V3 might look like, and the 'Raiders Attack!' Supplement that still has much life left in it.
All this plus Warlord event support, balance in tournaments and other definitely non-controversial(!), highly entertaining and informative topics. Sit back and enjoy a chat with Jon, and us, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
