Weird Science!!!

In keeping up with my backlog of photos of miniatures I've painted that I said I was going to post, I present you today with some photos of monsters I did for my German Konflikt 47' army.

Up first, we have 4 of my "Nachjager".  I'm not sure what a "Nachjager" is, but they kind of remind me of the main monster in the movie Pan.  You know, the dude with the eyes in his hands.  Anyway, here they are....

They were pretty interesting to paint.  A lot of dry brushing and glazing to get the transitions to look good.  I went a little heavier than I wanted to go with the blood, but I think they look pretty cool.  They're also a terror to behold on the battlefield.  My only issue with these models is there are only two poses.  I think at least one more pose would've been nice.  I do dig the head with part of the spine in the one pose.

Next we have my German Werewolves which are called Schreckwulfen.  I thought the models looked pretty cool, so I painted up two blister packs.  Here's what I got...

I kind of did my own thing with these guys.  I didn't want them to all look the same, so I broke them up into 3 groups of 2 and tackled the unit that way.  It was fun to paint different types of colors for skin tones that you normally don't paint as skin.  I'm also pretty sure the same guy sculpted both the Schreckwulfen and the Nachjagers based on the feet.  Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the photos.

Some H.E. for Konflikt 47' and Bolt Action

I'm a bad person.  I was recently looking in my picture archive on my desktop and I realized I've taken a ton of photos of models I've painted, but never actually posted anything.  Then I let you guys sit all summer thinking I'm dead or quit the hobby and yeah.

Today, I'm going to start to rectify it.  I painted these two models almost a year ago.  Up first is my Spinemech for Konflikt 47'.

The Spinemech model was actually my prize from Operation Sting last year.  I think I ended up putting it together and painting it the night I won it.  It's pretty easy to paint and a lot of fun to throw on the battlefield.

Next, it's going to be cross between Konflikt 47' and Bolt Action.  It's the Panzer IV with an augmented weapon to make it a Panzer X.  Take a look...

And what is pretty cool with this model, you pop off the gravity gun on the top and put on the original gun and it becomes a Panzer IV.

I'll admit it, I had a ton of trouble painting the Panzer X/IV model.  I was experimenting with some colors as I wanted the green to be a bit more vibrant than I usually do on BA vehicles and I just couldn't get the color palette I was looking for.  I ended up probably putting 10 different types of base colors on this model.  I'm surprised any of the detail actually showed up honestly.  I think all-in-all it turned out pretty good.

Like I said previously, I'm going to start posting more photos of my back-log..... try to beef this blog up a little for this year.

Proxy German Storm Troopers for Konflikt 47'

Browsing Northstar Miniatures one night I came across a game called "Achtung! Cthulhu".  I never really got into the whole Cthuloid mythos, but as an old school gamer I know a bit about it.  While the game Achtung! Cthulhu doesn't interest me, the miniatures do.  They had some pretty cool Weird War II stuff with tentacles monsters and whatnot.  As I was browsing the miniatures, I saw the coolest looking Wolfenstein looking shock troopers.  I instantly had to buy them.  Since Warlord Games haven't released an official shock trooper model to go with Konflikt 47', these guys made a perfect substitution.  Take a look....

I ended up buying the box of Black Sun Troopers and a blister pack.  You get 10 in the box, but you also get a machine gunner and 2 flame thrower guys, so I got the blister pack just to round out the force.  I think they turned out awesome, and when I brought them to Adepticon, everyone who checked out my army was asking about them.  I used the guy with the backpack as my NCO in game.  Anyways, thanks for looking!!

Some Heavy Konflikt 47' Infantry

I have to say, as time goes on I'm liking Warlord Games more and more as a company.  I dig Bolt Action.  I think the rules system is top notch and the dice pulling mechanic was genius.  My only issue with the game is that the WWII setting only gives you so many options.  Granted, tons of innovation took place.  I guess what I'm trying to say is I miss the fantasy aspect.  I dig rail guns and crazy ass creatures and whatnot.  That's not to say I don't enjoy a good historical game or even Bolt Action for that thought.

Enter Konflikt 47'.....  a game where we speed up the time line to an alternate 1947', add crazy rift technology due to the Manhattan Project opening up some inter-dimension portal, and let the super powers duke it out.  The concept of this game is awesome, so awesome that I couldn't pass it up.  The game pretty much runs off of the Bolt Action V1.0 rules with some minor rules added for flavor.  The cool thing about this is they added new Konflikt 47' specific units, but basically you can augment your normal Bolt Action forces into the game.  Kind of like a hybrid game allowing you to play two different games with your normal Bolt Action forces.

So I signed up for Konflikt 47' tournament at Adepticon 2017, and got to work on the new units.  I want to start with some heavy infantry.  Check them out..

This unit of 8 comprises the box set you can get from Warlord Games.  They were very easy to paint as they're mainly tan with some edge highlighting.  The arms and guns were a little fiddly, but with enough superglue they become workable.  So there is my German Heavy Infantry.
