Funny thing is, even though "Sisu" will upgrade Inexperienced troops to Regular, the Finnish don't have a single unit that can be bought as Inexperienced. They're all either Regular and/or Veteran.
The Finnish are without a doubt my favorite army in bolt action, but for some reason I still don't have them, I have germans, americans, soviets, and a realistic british 8th army. But finns are coming soon
@@grisben You too. And Finland fought in the war side by side and with support of the Axis powers against the Soviets... also... this is a video about Bolt Action, where they are classed as an axis minor nation so... yeah.
Sadly the model choice for the Finns is pretty paltry, The warlord metal figures are very poor casts. Very fragile barrels, “mushy” detail. Reworking Soviet and German model figures work as a stand in but with the number of BA players fielding Finns justify some better figures.
Aye. Good thing that at the WG community articles there is an article of how one BA player converted his Finns from Blitzkrieg Germans with Soviet weapon sprues (and some Japanese gear). I’ll do the same when ever I get some ”Blitz-Germs” (pun intended) and sovjetska armaments to my hands (and may as well get some K47 line models for conversions as well…).
Gaddis Gaming offers a decent 28mm Finnish line both in summer and winter uniform sets. Gaddis Gaming also ofers a few Finnish armour options and Finnish weapon crews. Thought I'd help those looking to make a FINN army.

Yes most people might play them for the rules but I love Finland and the Fins as a nation and people and thats why I want to play them.
Your vids have been a massive help to see what army I wanna start 👍🏿
Thank you
Nice review, I have some Finns on my own, only for Winter War, but they are awesome. Sissi's and sniper are a must have.

All I know is I hate playing against these guys they are tough little bastards to play against
I'd rather play against any of the major factions tbh. Least they are mostly just brute strength. The Fins are a real pain in the ass.
Never sleep on the outflanking modifier when you have panzerfaust/shreck options and flamethrower teams 😈
This is true
Thanks for the video! I was looking for a more interesting Axis army besides germans and I think it will be finns!
Finns weren’t Axis paskapää

You didn’t talk about my favorite Finnish tank: the OT-130. The flamethrower tank is awesome for pins even with the reliability issue.
