For those who haven't heard about this, K47 is a "Weird War II" game using Bolt Action-inspired rules. Yes, your existing collection of WW2 models remains relevant in K47!

K47 is a joint venture between Warlord Games (publisher) and Clockwork Goblin (designer). WLG will be selling miniatures designed by Clockwork Goblin in 28mm beginning with American and German Starter sets in August 2016. These are currently available for pre-order:

Here is the official blurb:

Konflikt '47 is set in a world very much like ours--that is, until 1943. With the development of atomic weapons, the world changed. The testing of a prototype nuclear device by the Manhattan Project opened a rift in the fabric of space. When the Fat Boy atomic bomb was dropped on Dresden in March 1944, it created a second rift. German scientists set to work studying it with far more speed than their U.S. counterparts. Both nations began to receive radio signals through the rifts, though often undecipherable. Soon it became apparent that these signals were messages from unknown originators wanting to help each nation's war efforts.

As the messages were pieced together, discoveries were made that allowed each nation to make huge leaps in industrial and scientific research. Despite repeated pleas and demands from their allies, both the United States and Germany were reluctant to share the messages coming through the rifts. Stalin then declared the United States an enemy in May 1944: the Soviet Union would end the war on its own.

It is against this backdrop that players find themselves. Using the incredibly popular Bolt Action rules, this rulebook offers everything required to build a force that incorporates the incredible weapons and technologies made possible by the rift signals, and to engage in tabletop battles for supremacy and survival. Fully compatible with existing Bolt Action material, Konflikt '47 takes the war to a completely new level.

For those who prefer 15mm, the line is/will be available in that scale directly from Clockwork Goblin.

**Gasmasked Mook**

Some really cracking stuff there - esp. the US walker and the Tommies. With some different heads, the Brits may make some excellent void pirate boarding party for Rogue Trader games

**Necros**

Those mecks look great. I could see me grabbing a bunch. Love the grumpy pilot in the US mech

**Alpharius**

Looking forward to this one - I've got to get my Weird WWII from somewhere!

**Mr Morden**

Some very nice images there - look forward to seeing how this develops.

**endtransmission**

It would, of course, help if I'd remembered to put their URL in the original post as they already have a range of models already available in 15mm and 28mm, including British automaton infantry, a US walker, German zombies and a German walker.

They also have Bolt Action rules for some of their models on the website too: http://www.clockworkgoblinminis.co.uk/

Oh, they also did a lot of the sculpting for the Achtung! Cthulhu range for Modiphius

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Here's the 28mm stuff they already have available

Soviets

Soviet Heavy Infantry

Soviet pulse turret

USA

US Kodiak walker

US Ursus walker

US Mudskipper walker (closed cockpit available)

US Grizzley walker

Germany

German Spinne Mechpanzer

German zombies

British

British automated Infantry

**ImAGeek**

The Soviet heavy infantry guys look like mini versions of Cherno Alpha, the Russian Jaeger in Pacific Rim.

This looks pretty cool actually.

**Barzam**

Those new renders do look really cool. I'd been eying the Mudskipper for a while. If they're partnering with Warlord, maybe that means I'll be able to get them somewhat cheaper? It'd be great if the were able to somehow produce those new mechs in plastics through their partnership.

**cerealkiller195**

some truly amazing stuff you got going there!

**SkaerKrow**

Amazing work. Always nice to see Weird War 2 done right.

**endtransmission**

Oh, there's also a 3d print of the US heavy infantry on facebook as well

and some US jump troops

**MLaw**

I like those jump troopers but they seem like they should have some kinda shoulder support or strap to hold those on.

These guys, along with a couple of others are doing some amazing Weird War 2 figures. So good... unless you're my bank account :(

**Fezman**

My two local gaming shops have started stocking Warlord in a big way recently so I hope to see some of these on the shelves.

The US light walker and powered armour are particularly impressive. I'm already imagining how I could paint the latter, and using heads without M1 helmets would make them instantly useable in loads of other systems...but I'd still have to get a few with the heads shown to help out the Americans I've already got.

I know the feeling. If you look closely at the renders, there are lots of straps on there. I don't think these are the final renders anyway, so the clarity may be improved for the manufacturing process anyway.

**BrookM**

I wonder how gasmask heavy these guys will go over time?

**endtransmission**

So far the konflikt background is all tech based, even for the zombies, so I hope they don't over do the gas mask aspect of design. There is a little bit of background in their free 15mm rules that explains where the tech is coming from.

I don't think that they will. Well I hope not at least.

I also hope that standard WWII infantry will be useable for this, that was the main draw back for SoTR for me.

**Brother SRM**

Those are some lovely models.

**SickSix**

Some pretty cool stuff here. I like the Soviet Heavy Infantry! Definitely reminiscent of Pacific Rim.

**Silent Puffin?**

According to the Clockwork Goblin Facebook page all existing lists will be valid in Konflict 47 which I take to mean Bolt Action lists.

If nothing else this has given me the impetus to finish my Rifle platoon for Bolt Action that I have had sitting in boxes since Salute 2 years ago.......

**Alpharius**

Do we think we'll need to pick up the 'generic' Bolt Action rules in order to play Konflikt '47?

And if 'yes', what exactly does that mean?

I've been meaning to check out Bolt Action for some time now - I guess I should get moving on it!

**kestral**

I think this is my favorite version of WWWII in 28mm so far. And I hear good things about bolt action. They have my attention! The Brits are my favorites.

**pgmason**

Yes pretty sure Konflikt 47 will be a supplement for Bolt Action, so you'll still need the BA Rulebook. The hardback version is about £20-25, and the Kindle version is only about £10 so its' well worth it anyway.

**Necros**

Is this gonna be a KS or general release? I'll definitely be getting one of those US walkers, just cuz

**Dez**

I like a lot of this.

**bubber**

But I hate the 'pick-a-dice-out-of-the-cup' turn sequence. 1st battle I played my colour came out 4 times in a row. By the time the other guy's colour came up most of his stuff was suppressed or dead. I didn't have to think at all to win (& I'm pants at wargames!)

**Alpharius**

Yeah, that part is not so good.

(Still sad that SoTRII got scuppered!)

**Pacific**

Do you have anything similar to Booksetc in the UK?

They have the rulebook for a rather ridiculous £13.77, a lot of the individual army books for £7-8 each as well

**Mr Morden**

Quite a few our club members play it - seems to be quite fun - few odd rules like Recce but does not look bad.

I am looking to try the DUST system next
