Konflikt ’47 US Reinforcements
I recently finished a few more squads of “weird” troops for my Konflikt ’47 US army. These were speed painted in a similar style to the rest of my US force. These heavy troopers are wearing gas masks, and are armed with assault rifles and tank buster grenades. I went heavy on the glow effect ... Read more
AAR- Walking Dead: All Out War
Tim and I got in a couple of games of The Walking Dead: All Out War. I wanted to get some practice in before our upcoming Halloween campaign starts, and we needed to test out the game’s new campaign rules. We set up a simple city block, and decided to play a standard “recover the ... Read more
Review- Konflikt ’47 British Infantry nearly done!
I got the block painting finished on my British. Before they go off to the dip I thought I’d show them pre-transformation and make a few comments about the figures themselves. What you see here is the 20 plastic British Infantry from the British Konflikt ’47 boxed set. These are the same figures that are ... Read more
Cheap Tanks for Weird Wars
As I dip my toes into the Weird War waters of Konflikt ’47 I’m coming to appreciate the incredible latitude that “weird” allows the budget gamer. As has been seen in our recent Konflikt ’47 battle reports, there’s a huge range of miniatures that are suitable. From genre-specific Weird World War 2 (WWW2) lines like ... Read more
Review: Harry Potter Hogwarts Fun!
After buying and reviewing the Harry Potter Nanofigs line I couldn’t resist getting the corresponding playset.

Let’s start with the shortcomings. This ... Read more
AAR- Konflikt ’47 Brits vs Occult Germans.
A few weeks back, Michael and I got together at Greenfire to play a game of Konflikt’47. I didn’t record a play-by-play of the action, but took a good number of pictures so what follows is more of a gallery than an AAR. He brought a German force composed mostly of Wargames Factory Shock Troopers ... Read more

Chris’s undead hordes Tim’s Fae Mattias’ Maurading Netherwolders. Here are a few pictures from the bloody conflict. Due to the passage of time details are ... Read more
Konflikt ’47 British-In-Progress
I have been working on my British figs for Konflikt ’47. The stock British troopers are just standard Bolt Action figures… Not nearly Wierd-War enough for me! The addition of some West Wind Productions Gas Masked British Heads fixed that nicely. The size is right on. The ears and hair details aren’t super defined, but ... Read more
