I dunno if I can afford $112 for a starter set with no one to play it with.. but I will have to pick up the Coyote walker one of these days. I wanna paint him in desert colors, but all weathered and rusty looking.

Before I make any painting plans, I am going to mine the book for "campaign info" and think of ideas based on that.

Think I'll hold out on buying the Konflikt brb, they might have deals on buying it with the 2nd ed BA. Don't think I have the will power to hold out.

They will almost certainly have army deals once more of the respective lines come out - but the starters are apparently good deals according to gossip from folks who may know where MSRP will land. Comparing it to existing BA prices, to the extent possible, the starters are certainly a deal.

He's not a pre-order item, he comes with the brb if you buy it direct of the Warlord website.

The only place to get him alone would resellers such as eBay.

I think its got potential.

Bolt Action is pretty popular in some areas, so itll be easy to buy in for most. You dont have to buy all new minis after all if the starters are anything to go by. A walker or two, maybe even a turret if they let you buy them seperately. If Warlord is smart, theyll keep the prices low to encourage people to play both.

It also helps that the "starter armies" are actual armies at full points values, equivalent to if GW sold an 1850pts army box (or whatever tournies run these days as standard) Having a full army in a box around $100-120 for the plastic armies isn't a bad buy in at all as far as I'm concerned, YMMV of course.

Then again I'm a bit biased. I have like 3 different Bolt Action armies that are pretty big.

It's a fantasy (Weird WWII) game, innit? Feldgrau or Schwarzgrau would have been fine instead of Dunkelgelb, as I'm pretty sure they didn' t have mech suits in 1944 IRL. Those models would have looked okay in that pic if they were weathered, or whitewashed for the Eastern Front, camoflagued, or even left in Dunkelgelb but posed with non-snowy background items for the Western Front or even Afrika.

As it is, they look oddly incogruent in that picture, and not great.

I think they look quite good. Painting them dunkelgelb is not only a welcome reprieve from the rather board gamey "jerries are grey" branding but also cleverly draws a connection between the panzers of history and the panzer infantry of fantasy. In this case, the historical reference slipped by a few posters, no big deal.

I don't think the problem is the choice of Dunkelgelb. It's the choice of posing them standing in the snow wearing it. It's just a poor choice of background for those particular painted models.

Is it safe to assume that this game will use the new rules?
I'm not sure if it's the place for it but do we know the main changes to the rules?

I think it fills a very small niche in the market. It looks like gamewise, it's bolt action with a bigger variety of units so more unit variety. Aside from the wyrd war theme, gates of antares already fills that niche. The timing is off too (at same time as Bolt Action 2).

Weird War II is the game I love to play, so this is very welcome for me.

Being 'built on BA', I hope this translates to 'easier to find opponents' when compared to other games in this genre, like SoTR..

I had a chance to look at the K47 rulebook today at Historicon and it appears to be based on the First Edition of BA. I have canceled my pre-order of the starter sets.

From what I recall, a few things will get fixed, including the horrendously overpriced LMG's actually being made useful, transports will become more useful and the introduction of templates instead of a D6/D3/D-whatever roll to denote how many models are hit by certain attacks.

Interesting, was there anything to indicate that it might be using the 2nd edition rules? Templates instead of rolling dice for blast weapons hits is big give away.

BA is one of my favorite games. But I am ready for the changes coming in 2E. It's frustrating that for whatever reasons (they are easy enough to imagine) WLG is releasing a ruleset based on 1E a month before 2E comes out. I am not very keen on Weird War 2 as a genre but was excited about K47 because I love BA and am a big fan of WLG. I'm not investing in a line that is already behind the development curve at release without further information, which rules out pre-ordering.

So 7+, that's fine. cuz recce with 6+ can easily be destroyed by rifle infantry.

That seems kinda strange to me, to not base it off of the latest rules. I thought this was just kind of like a Bolt Action expansion, so you'd be able to mix in any "vanilla" bolt action stuff too. I've been wanting to get into Bolt Action but don't have anyone to play it with right now :/ I thought the weird war 2 stuff would have been a good starting point for me though. So are the rules really different? I don't wanna learn 2 different games.

No, they aren't very different at all TBH. There are just a couple of things that have been driving BA players nuts for a few years and these things are getting fixed in Second. But it looks like they will live on in K47.

It seems to be a case of Clockwork Goblin licensing Bolt Action for Konflikt 47, and Warlord publishing/distributing/manufacturing the line. So therefore K47 uses a licensed and modified BA1 ruleset.

Whatever the reason/cause, it is some seriously unfortunate timing.
