Bolt Action

Bolt Action is the most widely played World War II miniature wargame in the world, published by Warlord Games in partnership with Osprey. Its combination of accessible rules, the iconic order dice activation system, which keeps both players engaged throughout every turn, and an enormous range of plastic and metal figures covering every major WWII theater and nationality has made it the dominant entry point into historical miniature wargaming for a generation of players.

Noble Knight carries the full current Bolt Action range, including core rulebooks, army books, theatre books, and figure sets across all major nations and theaters. We also stock older and out-of-print Bolt Action materials that surface through trade purchases, including first-edition rulebooks and early-production metal figures that have since been replaced by plastic kits. Whether you're building your first platoon or expanding an existing army, our Bolt Action inventory covers new releases alongside the used and collectible materials that serious players and collectors seek out.
