Konflict47 in 15MM

Now this was the main painting focus whilst I was stranded at home.....

Most of you will be used to seeing Warlord Games Konflict47 in 28mm with BIG vehicles and walkers, may be one of each on a table.  But and a small, big BUT when Clockwork Goblin originally did the models for this game they were produced in 15mm.  

For me personally 15mm makes much sense.  On a 6x4 or 8x4 or even, hopefully a 8x6 you get much more room to maneuver, the ranges look and feel better and you can have more of your nicely painted collection on the table.

The main issue with 15mm is finding the models!  I was very lucky and a year or so ago I manged to pick up quite a few on EBay, they were not cheap but I just wanted them (a fool and his money are easily parted, could be a motto for wargamers).  I got quite a lot of German stuff and a little bit of American.  

I also found that Forged in Battle do additions to their WW2 range called '46' were they have produced some very nice experimental and 'off plan' tanks and armoured vehicles, mainly for the Germans. 

So now the pictures....

 The Kampfgruppe so far


 A pair of Zeus


 A quartet of Thors

 A triplet of Spiders 


Some captured and reused US Coyotes


 A Maus super tank armed with a massive 12.8mm main gun and 7.5mm co-axial 


 E100 super tank sporting the twin 88mm guns which could be Anti-Tank, Anti-Aircraft or just nasty artillery


 The E100 with the awesome 150mm gun!

Three E50's the future of the Further's medium panzer forces.  These are armed with the deadly 88mm gun



 Now some conventional stuff, 7.5mm Anti-Tank guns

 Some Schimmwagens to transport the tank killer teams around.

 Power armoured infantry, literally panzer grenadiers


That is what is painted and ready to go.  now I am back at work I have found another 2 Zeus and 3 Thors to add to the kampgruppe.  I also have a companies worth of late war infantry, a lot armed with Panzerfaust and StG44, along with support weapons.  Oh and 48 Zombies!
Future purchases will probably be 8 Katzchen APCs from Forged in Battle and Flak Panther Coelion.

Now if I see anymore Clockwork Goblin minis out there I will buy them.  There are rumors on Facebook that Goblin may be re-releasing the range in 15mm.  Apparently this was being spoken about prior the global virus, so let us hope that they do not forget about it.
