I've always been pretty interested in the whole Weird War II thing but never had a sufficient reason to pursue it until Pete mentioned he'd been looking at Konflikt '47. That's Warlord Games' take on the the whole "What if things are not what they seem and WWII goes off the historical rails?" idea. A couple of days of reading and pondering and a US Starter Set plus a couple of upgrade blister were in the post. They arrived this week and today I finished painting up my Heavy Infantry, Heavy Bazooka Team (both in powered armour) and also a Light Walker mech thingy.
The models are absolutely lovely! Wonderfully sculpted, very characterful and they go together very nicely indeed. Painting is a breeze and great fun to boot.
So my first three units are done and next up is my M4A9 Sherman-T (the T is for Telsa! Woot!) which is already assembled and primed. It comes with a normal turret too so you can do proper WWII which is pretty nifty. Following that there will be some Doughboys and I will be done with my starter army.
Stay tuned for more goodness...
Cheers,
Millsy
Cool, bought some of these from clockwork goblin before they moved to Warlord. Great figures and the walkers are cool
ReplyDeleteGreat looking new figures, Millsy. Weird WWII sounds like something very interesting too.
ReplyDeleteLooking really great! Love the armour colour.
ReplyDeleteWhatever did compel you to make such a bold promise as to finish stuff first before buying new stuff? You must have known that was a sure path to failure from the start! Anyway, regarding the actual figures: you have done them up loverly mate, great work!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yeah good point. In the case of that plan it was never going to survive contact with the enemy given I am my own worst enemy :-)
DeleteEnjoy the new project Millsy!
ReplyDeleteOh you bad, bad man....
ReplyDeleteI have a stack of K47 stuff in the shed needing some love you know :-)
Do you now? That's very interesting indeed...
