Andrew tackles Konflikt’47

Hey Friends, Sean here from the Historical Department. I dropped a newly released Starter Box of Warlord Game’s Konflikt’47 on Andrew’s lap and requested he does what he does best. And of course he delivered. Have a read and enjoy his builds and thoughts.

Alright, I did my best to get as much as I can done but I only had maybe 11 hours to build and paint as many models as possible. I did my best but I didn’t get them to a point I consider “done” but that’s subjective.
I want to preface this review with the following. I don’t like WW2 tabletop games, I get a bit of ick from some of the factions. That being said I really like what I’ve seen of Konflikt’47. Its so fantastical and pulp sci-fi that it feels like its own universe. From British coalition automatons to zombies and even Soviet werewolf bears, its pretty cool. And its got mechs!


The Starter packs a lot into it, terrain, dice, full color rulebook and so many, many sprues. This baby comes with 10 US Firefly marines, 6 Axis Heavy Soldiers, 2 character models, a USA “Linebacker” mech, and an axis Spider tank. I immediately dove into building the mech and was really pleased with the quality of the sprues. Almost no flashing, mold lines were covered by an additional panel piece, multiple weapon options and with it being 3 sprues, it was tons of fun to build.

I have similar feelings with the Axis Heavy Troopers, totally a modular kit with tons of options, poses and gubbins. You can be as creative or as simple as you want.
All the sprues were laid out thoughtfully with parts being right next to each other. If you just clipped part 17, the next part you needed, part 18 was right next to it.

My only gripe with this starter box is just a Warlord Games problem of their character models being resin. But that’s an ish-me not an issue.
Overall great starter box and I’m looking to try out the game once I get more time to build and paint these models.

Thanks again to Andrew for his nice work and kit review. I look forward to see where he goes with this. As well, a big thanks to Isaac at Warlord Games providing us with this kit.

Tools of the Trade: Hobby Glues

Before paint even touches your miniature, chances are good that you’ll need to do some assembly first, even if that just means attaching a single-part model to its base. Assembly can be a bit of an overlooked step, but it’s the foundation for everything you’ll do afterwards and it’s important to make sure you have the right tools for the job at hand. This is certainly true for the glue that will hold your models together – each type works in particular ways and using the wrong glue for the material you’re working with is a recipe for problems. Here, we’re going to go over the different glues that we sell here at Sentry Box for building your miniatures and models, to help you select the right one for your project. While there are many available, they fit into a couple broad categories. Let’s dive in!
