Warlord Games Bolt Action 1:56 Ayo Gorkhali! Gurkha Starter Army Set - 402611201

Send in the Gurkhas!

The Gurkha regiments of the Indian Army were some of the most famous (and feared) Commonwealth troops of the Second World War.
Recruited from mountainous Nepal, and wielding the lethal Kukri knives, Gurkhas proved to be tough
determined, and incredibly deadly soldiers - particularly when combat devolved into close-quarters fighting.
In the jungles of the Far East, they put their skills to good use, earning a reputation that has persisted to the present day.

In Bolt Action, rules for a Gurkha force can be found in the Indian Army section of Armies of the British Commonwealth.
The Ayo Gorkhali! special rule (named for their battle-cry) allows you to create an entire army of Gurkhas, who (naturally) specialise in getting up close and personal with the enemy, and this starter army gives you everything you need to field a well-rounded force on the tabletop
themed around Gurkha forces fighting against Japanese troops in the Far East.

At the core of this starter army is the Rifle Platoon - with 42 plastic Gurkhas in the box
you've got everything you need to create a huge variety of infantry squads and weapons teams
allowing for enormous flexibility in how you assemble your force.
Supporting the infantry are self-contained Artillery and Heavy Weapons Platoons
which pair plastic weapons with characterful Warlord Resin crew - a 6-pounder anti-tank gun provides anti-armour punch
while Medium Machine Gun and Mortar teams keep up the pressure on enemy infantry.
Tanks aren't forgotten, either! Although this is a jungle-fighting force, the Indian Army made great use
of M3 Medium and M5 Light tanks against the lighter Japanese armour they encountered - and both are included in the starter army!

This starter army is the perfect way to begin a Gurkha collection, as it can be assembled into a wide variety
of fully playable armies right out of the box and easily added to suit your chosen playstyle.
