Konflikt '47: Infantry In Progress

Simple update for this week; weekend was a busy one filled with lots of stuff other than painting or gaming.  I have an infantry squad and my Lieutenant with attendant in work.

Progress shot

Returning to Cygnar

My FLGS is starting up a Warmachine league at the end of the month.  I have most of a Cygnar army purchased and built.  In addition to K47 Co-Belligerent Italians, I will be working on getting my Cygnar painted.  My 0-point army is the caster Captain Jeremiah Kraye, a Minuteman Warjack, Firefly Warjack, and Lancer Warjack.

Light Warjacks painted up

The Lancer Warjack (viewer's right) was painted probably two years ago at this point.  I am going for a less bright blue Cygnar force.  Painting Warmachine definitely provides opportunities to think about small things in each model as for most warbands, you can minimize the repetitiveness of having super similar models.

Konflikt '47: Bersaglieri Complete

I finished up the heavy armored Bersaglieri this weekend.  As I was getting to the layering stage, I realized that I am not looking for these to be as high-quality paint jobs as my Horus Heresy Ultramarines.  This is an project to have an army to fight Weird World War II battle!

Bersaglieri Armoured Infantry

I skipped on details like eyes or other parts to really focus on getting them looking like a unit.  I think they will look good on the table.  I did decide after looking at the models to add the bright grass. I need to figure out what is next in my ECI efforts, I have a list written out, just no models to jump into.

In addition, a group of us are considering playing Bolt Action, North Africa campaign.  I have been given the wife's blessing to play Rommel's Afrika Korps.

Konflikt '47: Co-Belligerent Italy

My FLGS is in the midst of a Konflikt '47 league.  The store owner, my friend encouraged me to get into it, to include trading in other products for Gates of Antares that I had yet to start working on and was not getting played as much.

After talking over the various factions with my immediate family, I was told 1) no Axis and 2) that I should do the southern Italians.  The core theme for them is supposed to be infantry heavy, so I intend to theme them more as a mountains force, supported by some lighter armor.  We will just have to wait and see.

I have been slowly working through the Bersglieri Armored Infantry. One will be a spare as I also picked up the Captain Maximo model.  Since there are no rules for him, he gets to be the bad-ass NCO leading the Bersglieri.  The Bersglieri unit can run as low as 4 models or up to 8, giving me a nice range of options in deploying them.
