Quick answer
For Bolt Action players who want a French Resistance squad, the Wargames Atlantic Partisans (2) set is a strong choice: it builds up to 30 female fighters with hard plastic parts and plenty of weapon options. It’s best for hobbyists who enjoy converting and want a themed unit, not for those who need a one-box, ready-to-play force with official Bolt Action rules.
Why this set stands out for Bolt Action
The Wargames Atlantic Partisans (2) set gives you a full squad of 28mm resistance fighters in one box. The hard plastic construction makes them easy to assemble and convert, which matters if you want to swap weapons or add character to your Bolt Action force.
Because the set builds up to 30 figures, you can field a full partisan squad or even split them into smaller units. This flexibility is useful for Bolt Action, where partisan squads often operate in small, irregular groups.
Modeling and conversion potential
The figures are female partisans, which adds a distinct look to your tabletop. If you’re building a historically inspired French Resistance force, this set gives you a ready-made theme that’s different from standard infantry kits.
Hard plastic means you can easily modify poses, add heads, or swap arms from other kits. This is a big advantage if you enjoy converting miniatures to make each fighter unique.
What to consider before buying
The set is designed for building partisans, not for representing a regular army unit. If you need a uniformed Free French squad or a more conventional Bolt Action force, this kit may not match your vision.
You’ll also need to supply your own Bolt Action rules and unit stats. The box doesn’t include game rules, so check your Bolt Action rulebook for partisan squad profiles and equipment options.
Decision rules for your Bolt Action partisan squad
- Choose this set if: You want a themed French Resistance force and you’re comfortable assembling and converting hard plastic miniatures. The set gives you up to 30 figures, so you can build a full squad or several small teams. Check your Bolt Action rulebook for partisan squad composition and weapon options before you start building.
- Skip this set if: You need a uniformed regular army unit or you prefer pre-assembled miniatures. This kit requires assembly and is specifically themed around irregular resistance fighters. Look for other 28mm WWII infantry kits if you want a more conventional Bolt Action force.
- Consider your force size: With up to 30 models, you can field a large partisan squad or split them into multiple smaller units for scenario play. Decide how many points you want to spend on partisans in your Bolt Action list. Plan your list so you don’t end up with more models than you need.
