Grab World War II North Africa Commanders For Allies & Axis

April 7, 2026 by brennon

Warlord Games has two new sets of miniatures for you to consider snapping up for leading units in North Africa during World War II and games of Bolt Action. Both the British 8th Army and the German Afrika Korps get Platoon Commanders in Warlord Resin.

British 8th Army Platoon Commanders // Bolt Action

Leading the way, we have the British 8th Army and their Platoon Commanders. Plenty of their number were drawn from the upper and middle classes and despite their sometimes toffish attitude, they proved to be effective leaders. They were damn good at keeping the men in line and battle-ready.

The set comes with Platoon Commanders of different stripes. One of them is on the radio, calling in support. Another is leading the way from the front with his whistle in hand. You also have a fellow with lovely facial hair spotting the enemy from afar and another chap who doesn't need a weapon to get the troops into line and ready for action.

Keeping with a similar set of four miniatures, you can also get your hands on the figures for the Afrika Korps.

These German officers are probably amongst those who built their reputation during the Western Desert campaign and beyond. They are going to be there to force your troops to the limit in the baking heat of the sun.

All of the miniatures from both packs are in Warlord Resin as mentioned above and can be useful for leading Rifle, Artillery, Recce or Heavy Weapons Platoons on the battlefields of Bolt Action. Get your shorts packed and roll up those sleeves so you can dive into some North African desert fighting.

Are you going to be picking up one of these new sets?
