Ollie, Congratulations on completing the 24 hour challenge and an entertaining video. The icing on the cake would be to beat Grim in a Bolt Action game WITH your the Polish. On behalf of the M4H Team, our beneficiaries and their families, thank you ever so much for your honest, meaningful support.

Welcome to another video and another 24 Hr painting challenge. I love depriving myself of sleep and taking on massive painting projects. We got it this time!! Let's go!!

Been meaning to give Bolt Action a go for a while now, cool stuff!

Models for Hero’s... first I heard of this charity but I am totally on board... hah punny! This hobby and painting models has helped me so much through dark times and will always be a hobby I maintain. Also I am Polish and my grandfather was a machine gunner so this video rocks!

Awesome, well done mate, I did miss a bit more shots of the 'finished' army though, would have like to see a bit more. And I was a bit worried about all the colours before the end, but the washes made them come really nice together, it looked great!

Nice work. They look great. And well done on supporting such a worthy cause!

Great job ! Glad you managed to push through such a daunting quantity of models ! Thumbs up !

Woohoo! Congrats on finishing a 24 hr painting challenge Oliver. I must say this was the perfect video for me to get out my old SS army that are collecting dust in a box and remind myself on how much points i have and why bolt action is such a great game!

Thanks buddy! 😀 I'm definitely going to add more to the bases, just to make them look fancy.

The real story behind the Polish cavalrymen is the tale of I believe C squadron, 18th Pomeranian Uhlans and the Charge at Krojanty. The 18th Uhlans were actually in the middle of conversion to the modern mechanized standard. Their A and B squadrons had already been converted to armored vehicles and was trying to get mounted up on the first day of the war. The still horse mounted elements of the 18th responded to a break through by elements of the Wehrmacht 76th infantry regiment, who'd broken the line of Polish border troops near them. The lancers rallied, and rode out to battle, catching a battalion of infantry at rest, they charged, and routed the German infantry. This actually had massive impact on the initial campaign, as wild stories of Polish horsemen in the German rear terrorized the German logistical element and through quite the wrench in their works generally. Unfortunately for our heroic lancers of the 18th however, they too were caught at rest shortly after their charge by German armored cars, and many Uhlans and their mounts were cut down by machine gun fire as they rallied and fell back. It's the bodies of these fallen Polish heroes and their horses that the German propagandists showed to Italian newsmen and spun as stories of Polish cavalry charging the mighty tanks of the Wehrmacht.

Great content ! Always loved Bolt Action but never been able to get the miniatures. I am crossing my fingers !

... oh god.. Did someone say Kings of War? 😅

For the record, you are right. The Polish cavalry never charged tanks. Though the tanks they were engaged by were Pzr Kpw Mk II which were miniscule by even the Mk III & IV tanks the Germans had. What happened was the cavalry caught a German supply column in the flank and were tearing them a new one when the tanks showed up. The Cavalry were supported by machine guns by the way. A German news reel team came on the scene after the cavalry had withdrawn and made the story up for propaganda. No mention was made of the chopped up supply column. Just as an aside, that little TKS tankette looks like the model with the 20 mm gun which was piloted by a heroic type who fought and destroyed a significant number of German tanks using ambush tactics. The Germans said the tank was so small and fast it was like trying to hit a cockroach.

I’ve looked at Bolt Action and have thought about playing, this video has convinced me to at least buy some models to paint! Great video and charity.

This looks awesome I also want to start a Polish Bolt Action army but kind of don't know where to start. For the story of the Polish Cav charging tanks that is German propaganda. What really happened was the Polish infantry was being suppresed by the German troops and coudn't move so the Cav charged the enemy guns so that the Infantry could pull back. While the Cav troops where fighting the German troops some German tanks came in to support their troops killing the Cav troops.

Always loved WW2 and miniatures and its shameful I only found out about Bolt Action about a year ago, it would be cool to build and paint the Soviets Finest
