The Italian Alpini for Bolt Action (WIP)

    Though the Armies of Italy book is still at the pre-orders list of the Warlord Games, there are already many reviews around the internet. After watching a couple of them, I decided to build my Alpini (this Italian Army's specialist mountain infantry) as part of the National Republican Army of the Italian Social Republic, because of the "German Support" Army Special Rule.

The army special rule

HQs units (FOO, Officer and Medic)

An MMG team

A medium mortar team

Three weapon teams

Light Mortar team

AT-rifle team

Sniper team

Two NCOs


The original NCO

The parts I used for the second NCO



The first infantry squad

Three riflemen

The LMG is the German MG42 light machine gun


   All the parts I used are from the Alpini sprue except for the MG42 light machine gun and the MG42 spare barrel case, which are both from the German Grenadiers sprue. I removed the Breda M30 light machine gun from his left arm and replaced it with the MG42.

   I used a left hand that holds the Panzerfaust from the German SS sprue.

   That's it for today! Stay tuned for more!
