Lets take a look at Warlord Games US Marine Corp plastic box set for Bolt Action. Warlord keeps producing great figures and armor for Bolt Action. If modelling and World War II are a passion for you, check out the many offerings provided on their site. This squad was made from one of the sprues in the USMC plastic box set.
Here is an overview of the sprue with listings for all the items provided. In the box set, there are 5 of these sprues and a weapons sprue. The sprues were clean with very little flashing and seem lines.
This is the weapons sprue contents.
Back to the infantry sprue, here is a detail of the bodies 2 standing, 2 kneeling, 1 running and 1 prone. There are paired arms with weapons and many single arms with weapons.
Arms giving hand signals, positioned to fire weapons, holding binoculars and throwing grenades are included. You'll find many extras like backpacks, water bottles, knives and a machete.
Ten heads are included for additional variety and additional ammo bandoleers, bottles and paraphernalia. These five heads are all wearing helmets but there are others with caps and one with a bandaged eye.
We positioned our prone marine with the BAR on tripod, an ammo bandoleer with knife and water bottle too.
One of the kneeling figures we positioned firing and the other has his weapon arm slung and binoculars in hand.
On the back of the first Marine we attached a full pack, knife, bottle and ammo belt. The other soldier has a holstered pistol and extra water bottles.
Our two standing have a shotgun wielding marine and the second firing his Thompson.
The backs contain a small pack with trenching tool, ammo bandoleers, a combat knife, and water bottles.
Lastly the running marine is signalling and brandishing his Thompson. He has the Thompson ammunition pouch too.
He sports the US Navy Corpman's bag and a belt pouch with grenade. So as you can see, with everything provided, your force can have many individualized Marines.
Have a Great Battle
