What Is Konflikt ’47?

Konflikt ’47 imagines a world in which World War II continues beyond 1945. The discovery of Rift technology changes warfare by introducing combat walkers, unusual energy weapons, heavily armored soldiers, and other experimental units.

Armies still include recognizable infantry and vehicles, but commanders can reinforce them with the strange machines and specialist units that define the game’s Weird War setting.

Konflikt ’47 may appeal to players who enjoy:

• Alternate-history tabletop games
• World War II miniatures
• Science-fiction military models
• Tactical combined-arms battles
• Painting walkers, infantry, and vehicles
• Building themed armies and battlefield terrain

Players interested in more conventional World War II gaming can also explore the Bolt Action collection.

What Do You Need to Start Playing?

A new player should begin with the essential parts of one playable force instead of purchasing several unrelated units.

A practical starting checklist includes:

1. A starter army or a balanced selection of units
2. The current rules required for play
3. Infantry to capture and hold objectives
4. One or two support units
5. A walker, vehicle, or specialist unit
6. Dice, measuring tools, and markers
7. Suitable tabletop terrain
8. Paints, glue, and hobby tools

A starter army is generally the simplest option because it provides a more coordinated foundation than purchasing individual models without an army plan.

Browse the Warlord Games collection for additional rules, miniatures, vehicles, and related game systems.

Which Konflikt ’47 Faction Should You Choose?

The best faction is not necessarily the one considered strongest. Choose an army whose models, theme, and battlefield style you will enjoy building and painting.

United States

United States forces combine familiar military units with advanced walkers and experimental equipment. This faction can be a good choice for players who want a recognizable World War II foundation with flexible Rift-powered support.

The United States Starter Army provides a convenient place to begin building an American force.

Consider the United States if you like:

• Flexible army building
• Mobile forces
• Combined infantry and walker formations
• American World War II themes

British Commonwealth

British Commonwealth armies combine conventional troops and vehicles with distinctive walkers and advanced weapon systems. They suit players who want a force that can respond to different battlefield situations.

The British Merlin Heavy Walker is one example of the larger machines available to Commonwealth commanders.

Consider the British Commonwealth if you like:

• Balanced formations
• Tactical flexibility
• Armored support
• Distinctive British walkers

Axis Forces

Axis armies offer experimental war machines, unusual infantry, and heavily engineered battlefield technology. Their visual identity makes them especially appealing to painters who enjoy dark industrial designs and alternate-history armor.

The Panzer IV Ausf X Walker can serve as a visually striking armored addition to an Axis collection.

Consider an Axis force if you like:

• Experimental armored units
• Panzer-inspired walkers
• Specialized troops
• Dark Weird War themes

Soviet Bloc

Soviet forces feature durable infantry, imposing walkers, and aggressive units suited to direct battlefield pressure. Their models offer strong opportunities for weathering, winter effects, and industrial paint schemes.

Players looking for a large centerpiece can consider the Soviet Mahmot Heavy Walker.

Consider the Soviet Bloc if you like:

• Heavy armor
• Resilient forces
• Large walkers
• Aggressive battlefield themes

Empire of Japan

The Empire of Japan range combines infantry, specialized units, and unique walker designs. It offers a distinctive visual identity for players interested in Pacific-inspired alternate-history forces.

The Empire of Japan Starter Army provides a coordinated starting point, while the Inago Medium Walker can expand the army with additional armored support.

Consider the Empire of Japan if you like:

• Distinctive unit designs
• Aggressive army themes
• Pacific theater inspiration
• Specialized infantry and walkers

How to Build Your First Army

Start with a clear plan for what each unit will contribute.

Step 1: Choose one faction

Avoid purchasing units from several armies at once unless you are collecting primarily for painting. Focusing on one faction will make it easier to build a playable force.

Step 2: Begin with core infantry

Infantry provides the foundation of most forces. These units can secure objectives, support vehicles, and give your army enough bodies to operate effectively across the battlefield.

Step 3: Add a support unit

Choose a weapon team, specialist squad, or armored infantry unit that complements your core troops.

Step 4: Select a signature unit

A walker or unusual Rift-powered unit gives the army its Konflikt ’47 identity. Choose one that supports your preferred style instead of selecting a model based only on size.

Step 5: Check the rules before expanding

Confirm that each planned unit works with your faction and current rules. Players interested in additional army lists and campaign material can review the Konflikt ’47 Resurgence supplement.

Starter Army or Individual Units?

A starter army is usually better for someone building their first force because it provides a coordinated selection of models. Individual units are more useful when:

• You already own a playable army
• You need to fill a specific battlefield role
• You want a particular walker or infantry squad
• You are building a display model
• You are replacing or expanding an existing unit

Before purchasing an individual model, check its faction, contents, material, assembly requirements, and required rules.

Painting Konflikt ’47 Miniatures

The combination of historical equipment and speculative technology gives painters considerable creative freedom. You can begin with historically inspired colors and add glowing energy effects, experimental markings, or heavy battlefield weathering.

Useful painting techniques include:

• Edge wear and chipped armor
• Mud and dust effects
• Rust and exhaust staining
• Winter camouflage
• Glowing Rift weapons
• Unit markings and identification panels
• Scenic rubble and battlefield bases

For more help selecting colors and supplies, read the Miniature Paints Guide or browse paints, brushes and hobby supplies.

Building a Weird War Battlefield

Terrain helps communicate the alternate-history setting. A Konflikt ’47 table can combine traditional World War II scenery with experimental industrial features.

Consider using:

• Damaged European buildings
• Roads and ruined walls
• Bunkers and defensive positions
• Industrial facilities
• Research stations
• Craters and battlefield debris
• Objectives representing Rift technology

Explore the miniature terrain collection for buildings, scenery, and battlefield features.
