Build Guide and Painting: Bolt Action Weapon Teams [How I Paint Things]

Sometimes you've been doing something for so long you just don't think about why. That habit can blind you to new possibilities! So when Fred - that Fred, of end credits fame! - asked me about how to go about basing some US weapons teams for his Bolt Action army, I really had to take a second and think about it. One thing lead to another, and here we are!
The advice in this video is pretty solid for any of the weapon teams throughout Bolt Action, from MMGs to mortars, and even some of the smaller infantry guns. Size out where everybody's going to be perched once your build is complete, glue the weapon to the base and the rest you can paint without having to attach it - complete access to everything while you paint, rather than having to fight around corners to reach under anything.
