Fully automated RoBrits army?!

Looks like it'll be possible! I'm pleasantly surprised that Bertie and the boss bot are both plastic.

Hmm where have I seen that before...

I like the MKII units. I was interested in the Japanese but the Commonwealth is looking pretty cool too.
I hope they redo those tracked robots though, they look pretty dorky to me. But then again, I could just...not buy them.

Interesting they kept the same Ursus design except now they're plastic. I figured they would've been reworked slightly.

Great looking stuff for the Brits, kinda wish I had started collecting them.

The AMPs are definitely a relic of earlier versions. I've got the AT one and game-wise it's been a bit meh so far - I was wondering if they were going to give either plastic Automated Infantry set an AT option. Model-wise it's OK - the body is one metal piece with separate metal arms, then the metal gun shield and resin tracks.

I want to try out the other 2 versions, but you need to run a Weapons Platoon for them. Hopefully they'll be a Robot Platoon that can take them.

I would be funny if they made the AMPs look like Daleks. Because you know, they're Brits.

Genuinely interested to see if Warlord discuss how they ported the Warlord Resin Ursus directly into plastics, could be a game changer for them.

And Betie being full plastic? I did not see that one coming, would've sworn he was Warlord resin.

Spoilered but I have finished the 4 widely available starter armies:

I'm going to address both of these as Warlord actually did address it at some point and in a round about way again in the "Oops, the Ursus didn't work in Siocast, we can't really produce the Army Box" notification. The Siocasts were based on 3D prints of the CAD designs of the plastics to get the designs in the Army Boxes, which is why they're 1:1 identical and why the few Soviet boxes that were sent out to people contained 3d printed Ursus. Some of the designs were basically always destined to be plastic and the Siocast were/are a stopgap to get some of them out faster so there was new product on the shelves for 2nd Ed.

Oh man... I had a bunch of Warlord credit accumulated, and couldn't resist those robots. I bought a Bertie, and two of the Platoon Boxes, hoping I can run an almost all robot list!

Great new releases!

You have to believe that, like the Totenrotte and Firefly platoons, there will be Automated Infantry and Ursus heavy platoons in the future. With Bertie and the AI character being released and Drugov (and art with a more feral and larger Drugov in Festung Europa) already out they have named characters covered too.

I'm down. Pure Robot Brits would struggle with heavy armor, but would likely be amazing versus anything else.

Somewhat depends on how many Hunters it can bring, but yeah, Super Heavies will be an issue.

I've been using a Merlin to try to counter Linebackers / Kodiaks / etc. but it's not pulling it's weight IMHO - I'm going to look at swapping it for a couple of tanks for now. I also need a counter for Firefly flamers...

I know they fill a different role, but one local player never leaves home without 2x Hornets, and those are bananas. So strong for their points.

Yeah, the Hornet just looks ace as well. I am a big fan of the Hornet/Grizzly chassis.

My Totenrotte starter was delivered on Saturday. Really impressed by the Totenkorps sprues. Minimal mould lines and packed with bodies rather than too many other bits...but still enough to ensure there is variety across your 45 zombies. Some Thompson M1X arms fit the body of the Firefly zombie too so at least one of mine will be carrying one of those. Throw in being able to pull double duty in my Empire of Japan army and it is a win/win to me.

I keep looking at the Hornet, but I've got several Heavy Automatic Cannons on the MK IIs - I'd take a Grizzly if I could!

Part of me is saying to wait 3 months and see what the new plastic walkers are like.

Two Sherman Fireflys cost the same as a Merlin, and would give me two super-heavy AT guns but on a much squishier platform.

I've just ordered the Introductory Set from Wayland, should be with me on Wednesday. At the very least I can use the minis for Space Weirdos

The front grey walker looks like a Hornet on a Percy chassis, but not sure about the three white ones behind it - new US chassis? Autocannon turret and a howitzer on top?

They all look absolutely sick. I love the current releases from the game, as almost everything is landing firmly in the quality category.

That hovering mega-Tesla-tank will probably be bananas.

Meanwhile, the value here is so strong. I built a 1500pt British list this weekend for less than what I am about to give GW for two Defilers... likely less than 33% of a proper list.

That flying M5 is just so weird. Why put the Cullins device on it when it can fly?

the simple anwer is flying weaponised hedges held up by aether baloons

Given the other weird stuff on display, wouldn't be the wackiest thing the axis used in the war..

I for one can't wait for them to release a blimp for the Soviets. One that drops huge bombs and has a shark face painted onto it.

I wonder it's more for air-dropping it than flight in combat - but yeah, you should be able to hover over a hedge...

Mortian have just released the Doom Balloon - if it was an STL I would have bought one already.

I was thinking something more like this :

There's a couple of kits for the Kirov, like this Border one.

I'm not sure aircraft have a place in K47, but I'm looking out for a Haunebu, Triebflugel or similar for terrain.

Love the look of some of the new releases, and especially non-Axis getting some focus (my worry was that they were going to be the 'space marines' of this game with everyone playing them).

That is amazing - is it a conversion can I ask beasts_gts?

A friend of mine will definitely get into the game if it has the very specific thing of robots wearing cloaks so I have my fingers crossed here

I'm picturing "Do you want to build a snowman" from Frozen, but it's you coaxing your mate with a song about robots in cloaks.

Something like that

Although now hoping that he cannot say no, as the very specific thing he wanted has had a miniature released!

The new Japanese stuff teased at Adepticon also feels very, "It's so dumb, but I LOVE it!." Samurai Walkers, Ninja Infantry, etc...

Konflikt continues to have a GREAT year.

Managed to track down a box of the old Nachtalben. Not sure what it is about them (some sort of creepy 1980s Stephen King adaptation style to them?), or the new ones are painted in too bright a colour, but I think I prefer them.. Although I definitely think the new Totenkorps are an improvement, just with the variety of the kit.
