Title: It was my SOTR project, now is the Konflikt '47 one!
Post by: Predatorpt on August 18, 2014, 03:59:17 AM: After buying lots of SOTR German and US soldiers, I've decided to also buy some vehicles. Besides the usual DUST walkers, I've bought a plastic SD.KFZ 251/1 AUSF C Hanomag from the Bolt Action range.

It was a bit of a pain to assemble, the top and bottom part don't really match and there's a bit of a problem with the tabs for the seats (I had to remove the tabs to glue them). But after gluing everything, I've used my cheap airbrush (and industrial compressor) to paint everything:

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/003_zps211eeb2b.jpg)

Then painted the interior:

And weathered it:

The parts still fit...more or less:

Today I started the final camo scheme:

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/002_zpsdede2973.jpg)

To do: finish the tracks and wheels; apply decals; weather the exterior. I'm also trying to adapt one of the SOTR gunner for the gunning station at the front of the vehicle

It was a fun experience and I've decided that this will be the camo scheme for all of my German vehicles lol. The only exception will be the occasional turret/part in red primer ;D

Title: Re: Start of my SOTR project
Post by: Predatorpt on November 27, 2014, 02:51:50 AM: While the Hanomag is still waiting for some love, I decided to try my hand at building a mech, inspired by many works seen here and by Paolo's Dust universe.

I've been using bits from a 1/35 Tamiya Panzer Kampfwagen II with the body of a Tamiya 1/35-SD.KFZ.222. The legs are from an old Airfix Robogear mech. I've taken some comparisons pics with a Dust Ludwig and some SOTR 28mm miniatures:

Title: Re: Start of my SOTR project
Post by: Predatorpt on April 20, 2015, 02:29:44 AM: Finally I'm painting some miniatures. First member of "Projekt Über-soldaten" lol

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/003_zpsgcgg4unf.jpg)

The original figure is a Heroclix Hulk - awful sculpt that I coated in white and repainted as a "normal" human, enhanced by "Projekt Über-soldaten". The code name given to these guys by the Allies is: "Troll"

My plan is to get some different Hulk figures and repaint them in the same scheme.
Title: Re: Start of my SOTR project
Post by: kidterminal on April 20, 2015, 03:10:30 AM: Cool idea.
Title: Re: Start of my SOTR project
Post by: Constable Bertrand on April 21, 2015, 10:55:57 PM: Cracking start. That hulking troll looks dangerous ;)

The custom walker turned out well. Source enough legs and weapons and you could kit bash from all sorts of things, even dollar store toy transformers/mechs.

Keep at it
Matt.
Title: Re: Start of my SOTR project
Post by: Predatorpt on April 26, 2015, 01:54:41 AM: And today I painted a Nazi Werewolf! West Wind model, from the official SOTR line and a horrible sculpt. There's a gigantic mold line that starts on one arm, goes up the neck and into the mouth. I couldn't clean it fully, so I decided to improvise and transformed it into a scar (in the face, at least).

It was the only way to save that face :'(

Today I'm planning on repainting another Heroclix, but this time it's going to be an Allied hero.
Title: Re: Start of my SOTR project
Post by: Predatorpt on April 27, 2015, 12:22:06 AM: And here's my first Allied hero. It's called "Bunker" and it's a homage to one of my favorite heroes in the "Sentinels of the Multiverse" card game. Here's his official biography:

Quote
Corporal Carter was a good soldier. He followed his orders and got work done. He was good with guns and tech, so he was given a lot of responsibilities. However, regardless of how hard he worked, he was never so much as in line for promotions beyond “corporal”. So, when he was approached by the Ironclad Project and offered a chance to work as a specialized “Mechanized Corporal”, he figured it was the best chance he was going to get.

Mechanized Corporal Carter was the first operator of a “Bunker” suit in real combat situations. And he found his way into plenty of real combat situations! The suit went through many changes and revisions as it took damage, and Carter got better and better at pushing the capabilities of his armor to the limits. He could even go head to head with tanks, earning him the nickname “Panzer-Buster”.

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/018%202_zpsqod3ksuw.jpg)

The figure is a Heroclix "Iron Monger". I wanted to paint it quickly, so I didn't prime it and that was a mistake, there were some parts were the paint didn't really grab. Need to varnish it rapidly, lol.

Glad you liked it, it was my intention doing the same on the central reactor, but I don't have the skills for it. But the fingers worked out ok.

Post by: Predatorpt on May 08, 2015, 12:54:32 AM: Didn't paint anything, but I prepared some miniatures for further work o_o

Some German Villains (from left to right: Battleship Siegmund; "Göring"; Fafnir and Totenmeister)

In case you guys are wondering, A.P.E Man doesn't have a big head, but the combination of the helmet/proximity of the camera makes it look bigger than it is.

Title: Re: Start of my SOTR project
Post by: Predatorpt on June 07, 2015, 11:01:15 PM: I blame this on Ballardian's topic (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=78803.0)! I went ahead and bought a box of Kastelan Robots from the Evil Empire! These are really nice, and once you cut all the Cult Mechanicus symbols, they make great GI Robots ;D

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/006_zpscenaoywi.jpg)

If you cut the tabs on the legs, you can position them any way you want. That's what I did on the left one. The torso and the arms aren't glued in place and I won't do that until I paint them. I've also made the "hands" swapable so I can choose between the weapons and the fists:

Here's the left guy saying "Hi!" with its new hand (there's going to be a crushed German soldier soon...)
(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/008_zpsqovf8cfk.jpg)

I saw some tutorials on using magnets to swap the hands, but I ended up just trimming the arm connection. Now I just need to pop the different hands in and out:

I have a nice excuse- at my workplace I can order and buy the GW products with 20% discount, so I don't mind buying some of their stuff once in a while. And I have to say that these new kits are really great in terms of quality and building easiness.

Post by: Predatorpt on June 13, 2015, 01:42:37 AM: And the Evil Empire attacks again!

The Red Skull with his personal bodyguards, enhanced with Mutant Growth Hormone. Some of the most stable examples in "Projekt Über-soldaten". They are know as "Ogres" by the Allies

And here's a closer look at the reservoirs (a bit from the Kastelan Robots) some of them use on their backs, filled with a potent cocktail of drugs that keeps them going, even beyond the limits of "normal" enhanced soldiers.

A close-combat specialist (not known for his intelligence)

But don't despair! The Allies have a new hero, Blazing Skull (I love this sculpt)

Hail Hydra indeed! ;D In the end I bought some damaged Hydra decals from Company B. I guess they were from a project other than yours, since it was a single sheet with only red and black transfers. I've got a big V2 and a special weapons waiting for them ;)

I'm getting pleasantly surprised with the Heroclix figures. Under all that paint you get some really nice figures. I stripped the Baron Zemo figure today and it looks great. Now I just need to paint it (along with most of Clix I showed here, lol).
Title: Re: Start of my SOTR project
Post by: Constable Bertrand on June 14, 2015, 05:45:04 AM: Cracking! Damaged = cheap :D

I got a little excited with my sheet, the large red and white ones are way too big - unless i did a gotha bomber (dont even mention it! ) - and Probably a few too many small ones. They are that small, they are a little impractical for sleeve badges. Feel free to use the "Miss Hydra" decals in* your V2 :D

I find the WotC SW figures are a little the same. Some details are quite nice (padding on suit etc) then other details are filled in or non existent. But for $.70AUD a figure that aint too bad!

*Or ON! ;D

Cheers

Decals way too big, you say? ;D I don't have a Gotha bomber, but I've got this huge baby:

Title: Re: Start of my SOTR project
Post by: Predatorpt on June 26, 2015, 03:03:22 AM: I didn't take any picture of the Snark...because I spent this Wednesday working on new figures!

First of all, I'm making a Nazi necromancer/witch. I think it's an old MageKnight figure that I just popped out of its base. And I made a new one, with runes, because all my mystic Nazis will have them lol

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/003_zpsnifc6ntr.jpg)

I made it, using a nice Runic Rolling Pin from Greenstuffworld

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/001_zps5onydndn.jpg)
(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/002_zpsz5uqy4ui.jpg)

Then I started working on yet another German supersoldier! "They saved Hitler's Brain! Sort of...!" Ok, they created an Über-soldaten body, pumped full of chemicals and with a positronic brain where the Nazi scientists hope to upload the conscience of Hitler once he finally slips out of his coma and dies.

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/005_zpsteutnixr.jpg)
(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/006_zpsj1u5fvbl.jpg)

And then I tried to do a Summoner from the Nazi Zombie Army game:
(http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/steamtradingcards/images/9/9a/Sniper_Elite_Nazi_Zombie_Army_2_Artwork_9.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131103235925)

I started with a zombie german from Studio Miniatures and my plan was to put some bandages on his head. It ended being a guy that looks like it has been hit in the head with a towel...in a windy day. My green stuff skills are still lacking :'(
(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/012_zpstotfniwt.jpg)
(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/014_zpsn3f1rgbs.jpg)

Another conversion, far easier to make - I cut a head from a Vampire Archer from MageKnight (it has a nice "Nosferatu" look) and after removing the head from the Nazi Zombie officer from Studio Miniatures, I did this:

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/009_zpsxnekdrhx.jpg)

And in other news:

Blazing Skull has its new base:
(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/007_zps7tjfpkvc.jpg)

My Kastelan Robots are almost ready to be used by the US Army (decals and basing needed, they are going to be named Moe and Larry. Curly is a surprise ;))

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/015_zpsz9brw0kq.jpg)

And Dreamforge weapons and heads work with Bolt Action figures...with a little effort and some cutting and sanding:
(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/023_zpsih10kh97.jpg)

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/021_zpsesegtxpg.jpg)

And to finish, all the figures that I consider done. I'm just waiting on the varnish to dry:

After that, they took a bath in my "Future" equivalent and when it dries, I'll do some light weathering on them.

Flaming Skull had its base painted. I've tried to some scorched earth behind him but it doesn't really show on the photos:

And it gave me the opportunity to use a new product - Decalfix by Humbrol. I usually use Microsol and Microset, but this is an one bottle solution and way simpler.

I know that I won't be using most of the minis I've done so far - after all, they aren't using "supernatural" elements on this setting :'( But since I already had this thread...

My main objective for the Germans will be doing some Hydra units to use along "normal" units. The American will be SOTR plus some Warlord plastic.

Post by: Wyrmalla on August 01, 2016, 11:25:25 AM: Konflikt 47 is a bit fluid with what its occult elements. You could easily get away with including a Shoggoth and explaining it away as "but its Science!.

My thoughts are to keep the fluff in line with Wolfenstein (which alternatives between diesel punk and the alternative Black Sun universe).

I for one am considering making a mini of Hellboy or Lord Baltimore (even if he's WWI). :)

I'm definitely going to use Hasslefrees Major Stephanie as a sort of Female Cap/Peggy to act as my Lieutenant.

Yeah, I also have her for that role ;)

Wyrmalla - I'm playing Wolfenstein: The New Order right now so I'll try and had some of it's elements plus the obvious supernatural ones from "Return to Castle Wolfenstein".

Sinewgrab - Hmmm, the Shoggoths from Lovecraft are biological creatures, created by the Elder Gods, so I guess that's one of the ways to bend the "no supernatural" aspect of Konflikt '47! Great idea.
Title: Re: It was my SOTR project, now is the Konflikt '47 one!
Post by: Wyrmalla on August 03, 2016, 12:36:18 PM: Aye, not to go OT.

The newest Wolfenstein (and its expansion which is set in 46 IIRC) does away with most of the supernatural elements for Nazi super-tech (and god, the big reveal about its origins and the fate of the Reich is great).

The previous games, just "Wolfenstein", includes the supertech to a point, but rather is based around the occult stuff (i.e. skintight jumpsuit wearing Nazi ninjas shooting lightning from their eyes. Because).

Post by: Predatorpt on August 04, 2016, 02:58:29 PM: And it seems that Warlord has already sent me the German starter box! Now I just need to wait for the rulebook and the US starter that I bought from Wayland (their 20% discount made me do it, at the time).

One of the first things I want to try is fitting the resin turrets (both the American and the German) in Rubicon models instead of the Warlord ones, since almost all of my vehicles are from Rubicon. :D

Yeah, but I ordered the big hardcover one. That way, I'll have 3 rulebooks, 2 of those the smaller ones that I can lent to other interested players.

Post by: Predatorpt on August 09, 2016, 08:39:18 PM: Received my German Starter today. It seems that the Gravity projector is only meant for Warlord's Panzer IV since it's got a peg that slots into the body of the tank. Since the Rubicon one uses another system for its turret, it won't be compatible without conversion (filling the hole where the turret sits basicaly).

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YEPZzpt8sI0/VWJQ_PyjD2I/AAAAAAAAr8A/41GboC8ZeiU/s1600/2015-05-18%2B19.07.04.jpg)

In other news, the resin cast is great (for both the turret and the Spinne light mech), same for the metal "Totenkorps" (Nazi Zombies).

The only problem that I have is that I don't like the German mech and I'm plunking it into the Bazaar right away. I'll use my Dust mechs instead.

Now I just need to receive my US starter set!

Post by: SiamTiger on August 10, 2016, 06:30:18 AM: Well, Konflikt 47 is a cooperation of Clockwork Goblin and Warlord, i would never assume they produce the additional stuff in a way, that it would work with anything else than their kits...

The turrets already existed in 15mm and when they did the prototypes in 28mm they weren't exclusive for the Warlord vehicles. I talked with them at the time and they even said it (the Tesla turret for instance) could be used in Dust vehicles. But then Konflikt '47 happened.

Post by: Wyrmalla on August 10, 2016, 03:17:42 PM: Could you take the tabs from cannon's ring off, sand down the bottom a little and then add a plug so it'd work with the Rubicon one? It would sit a bit high, but could work. Though I don't see the point in that as you already have the Warlord one (that'd only be a suggestion if you just had a the turret).

I haven't bought the rulebook yet, but I was wondering how the Panzer gravity cannon rules might work mounted on the Stug chassis. :)

Yeah, I could do the conversion, but I was taking the easy way since I already have the Rubicon Panzer IV assembled. Now I'm just assembling the Warlord one (and I've just noticed that the assembly instructions are wrong on the bogies/wheels parts) and I'll plop the turret there.

Since you get the stats for the gravity cannon itself, I think you can use it on another chassis. But don't quote me on that, since I just skimmed the rules and I never played Bolt Action lol

Post by: Predatorpt on August 11, 2016, 02:04:48 AM: Started working on the Warlord Panzer IV (and found out that the instructions have the bogie/wheels parts the wrong side around - Part 4 goes into the Part 3 slot).

Post by: Predatorpt on August 11, 2016, 04:16:20 PM: And I received my US starter today. After reading many accounts of problems with it, I rushed to open the Coyote Light Walker and behold...had the now "usual" problem - 2 left legs and 2 left arms:

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/003_zpsckjxguih.jpg)

Already sent an email to Warlord's CS, to see if they can help me (I bought it at Wayland).

In other news, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I got the Paragon Trooper that was supposed to be a Warlord exclusive (for when you bought the rulebook directly from them). Very nice cast! :-*

The only problem that I can see is that he's a bit bigger than the plastic US infantry. But hey...he's a hero after all!

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/005_zpsukg1gf6u.jpg)

And I think that his rules can be used to create more super-soldiers:

The Heavy Infantry, from Clockwork Goblins/Warlord Games:
(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/23082016_002_zpstletpefp.jpg)

The Sherman is a Rubicon one, with the Tesla turret from Clockwork Goblins. The fluff talks about the Tesla turret being mounted on a M4A3 but the model supplied in the starter is a Warlord's M4 (the only one they have in plastic). So I had to improvise and added a small plastic ring on the inside of the hull so the Tesla turret can fit the Rubicon tank:

Post by: Wyrmalla on September 05, 2016, 04:54:20 PM: Are you going to give that Sherman any work at all? Looking at them those Konflikt '47 turrets are a bit out of place on the existing hulls. I'd tart that thing up with extra armour on the hull (tesla cannons make you a bigger target).

What does the US Power Armour look like from the rear? I have the German set ...and to put it bluntly they're *heavily* inspired by Games Workshop Space Marines. :)

As for the Sheman, right now I can't do anything else to it since I don't have the time, lol. Maybe when I get another one. But the turret is flush with the body of the tank - something that my poor photographic skills didn't capture. I was thinking about doing the logs/sandbags extra protection on it, but I read that in real-life that just ruined the suspension of the tank, putting more weight on it for little protection. So I'll have to plan something else.

I'll take some pictures of the Us power Armour - it looks clunky, but I don't find it similar to Space Marines. I'm still waiting on my German ones but I saw some nice conversions of it with Dreamforge parts. I'll have to dig the pictures when I get home.

Post by: Predatorpt on September 23, 2016, 12:55:42 AM: While still plodding away at my K47 Americans, I'm also planning my Germans force. Couldn't wait for the Heer46 Maus, so I ordered a Blitzkrieg one.

But I'm also planning on doing some weird-war vehicles for them. I'll leave the Paper Panzers on the very capable hands of Ballardian, Wyrmalla and Queeg - my objective is to just create original stuff. A bit like these, lol: http://panzerpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Fake_Tanks

My first try will be 2 vehicles equipped with anti-tank missiles. One of them will be a simple conversion of this model from Rubicon:

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/138444135_zpsfigfpijk.jpeg)

The other will be a conversion of a Stug III, similar to this:

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/predatorpt/SOTR/rakette1_zpsen4ktuju.jpg)

I'm using the Stug from Rubicon since the only Jagdpanzer IV available in 1/56 is a resin one and I don't want to mess with it.
Title: Re: It was my SOTR project, now is the Konflikt '47 one!
Post by: Wyrmalla on September 23, 2016, 09:21:02 AM: What style of AT missile would you be going for, and on what mount? Actually, are there rules for those in the K47 book? I haven't looked, but I was considering picking that up for some of the more down to earth equipment advancements (if there are any in there).
Title: Re: It was my SOTR project, now is the Konflikt '47 one!
Post by: Predatorpt on September 23, 2016, 01:09:36 PM: Unfortunately there aren't any rules for missiles, or any kind of "weird War" weapon other than the mechs/creatures made by Clockwork. That's one of the things missing from the K47 rules (that and the use of superheroes). I just hope that Warlord makes some more "advanced" tanks and they amend the rules. Or at least make vehicle creator rules.
Title: Re: It was my SOTR project, now is the Konflikt '47 one!
Post by: Wyrmalla on September 23, 2016, 01:54:38 PM: Would Beyond the Gates of Antares have any rules perhaps?

I was hoping K47 would have rules for more grounded stuff, and was thinking of picking up the rules for just that. Indeed though, Warlord do seemingly have plans for "late" war stuff like Centurions, but those may appear as one offs. It'd be nice to see a proper expansion for that sort of thing, even if its just a .pdf.
