Wargames Illustrated WI460 April 2026 Edition
SKU WI460
Our second Freebie Frame of the year is from the Bolt Action Imperial Japanese Army Infantry Platoon box set. Providing you with six figures and a Medium Machine Gun – a first for Bolt Action in plastic – this frame is a lot of fun, containing anti-tank weapons, a light mortar, a shell crater, a spider hole cover, and foliage camouflage, all for modelling Veteran Jungle Fighters. The wide selection of heads on the frame opens up the option to use the figures as Special Naval Landing Forces.
Check out a detailed description of the frame’s features by turning to page 18, and discover what Wi’s deft dioramaist, Matt Parkes, did with his Japanese Infantry on page 58.
The Imperial Japanese Infantry heralds the beginning of a quadruple offering of Freebie Frames; find out what’s coming up next month at the end of this issue. June and July also come bearing gifts, although I won’t spoil those surprises just yet.
