View full detailsBolt Action – German Forces
German forces in Bolt Action are among the most versatile and popular choices for players of all experience levels. Representing the Wehrmacht, SS, and other German military branches from the beginning to the end of World War II, this faction offers an incredible variety of units, vehicles, and elite troops. From early-war infantry divisions and Blitzkrieg tank assaults to late-war Panzergrenadiers and heavily armored Tiger tanks, German armies provide unmatched tactical flexibility. With access to advanced equipment, unique special rules, and historical depth, the German faction is ideal for both competitive play and thematic historical scenarios across any front of the war.
1. What makes German forces stand out in Bolt Action?
German forces are known for their elite units, access to a broad range of specialized equipment, and strong combined arms tactics. They benefit from special rules like "Hitler’s Buzzsaw" for their machine guns and can field units with high-quality weapons, armor, and veteran status, making them highly effective on the battlefield.
2. What are common units in a German Bolt Action army?
A typical German army might include Heer infantry, Panzergrenadiers, Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers), snipers, medium machine gun teams, mortars, and armored vehicles such as Panzer IVs or Tigers. They also have access to flame throwers, Nebelwerfer rocket launchers, and a wide variety of anti-tank options.
3. Are there themed sub-factions within the German army?
Yes. German forces can be themed around different military groups and time periods, such as early-war Blitzkrieg divisions, Afrika Korps for desert warfare, or late-war Waffen-SS units. Each theme offers unique unit combinations and playstyles, allowing for deep customization and narrative campaigns.
4. What tanks and vehicles can Germans use?
German forces have access to a vast arsenal of vehicles, including Panzer III and IV tanks, Tiger and King Tiger heavy tanks, StuGs, armored half-tracks, and recon vehicles. Their vehicles are often well-armed and armored, providing a strong backbone for mechanized and combined-arms strategies.
5. Are German armies good for competitive play?
Yes. Due to their strong unit profiles and wide variety of options, German armies are a popular choice in tournaments and competitive settings. Players can build elite, balanced, or horde-style lists depending on their playstyle, and their equipment gives them strong board control and damage output.
6. How beginner-friendly are German forces?
German forces are a great starting point thanks to the availability of starter sets, extensive model range, and straightforward rules. While some elite builds require experience to master, many beginner-friendly lists can be created using standard infantry and basic armor support.
7. What’s the best way to start collecting German forces?
Warlord Games offers German starter army sets that include infantry, support weapons, and tanks. From there, you can expand with specialist units like paratroopers or vehicles to match your desired theme. Painting guides and historical references also make the Germans one of the most accessible armies for hobbyists and history enthusiasts alike.
