Bob does Weird War

The Catalyst for this project was the purchase of a Konflikt beginner and starter box. I wasn’t sure I needed 2 of each side mechs,  but having looked through Festing Europa , figured I’d a platoon of Fireloes for the Americans and A platoon of Stahltruppen.

With the latter I had decided on a winter scheme, to fit in with my late WW2 winter Europe theme.

This meant everything could get a base Colour Forge White coat, with a wash of GW contrast Apothocary White for base shading. Cammo blobs of GW contrast Gryph Charger Grey were then added,  with it all getting a dry brush, of Army Painter White, to bring back the white on highlights and to weather the Cammo.

Speedpaint Grim Black was used on the face masks and the various armour joints. Metallics were done in Speedpaints Enchanted Steel.

Then a thin coat of Nuln oil was given to whole model, and once it dried another light dry brush of white. The Metallics were then dry brushed Army Painter Shinning Silver for contrast.

The bases were done with a sprinkling of of a wasteland rubble, and some snow effect textured paint by AK Interactive.

The Decals are just Generic German decals from left overs from various Bolt Action and Rubicon kits .

The Resin leader was done with a similar method, with a Speedpaint Bright red lining and Cammo  Cloak for his cape.

The Light mech from the Starter set  followed the theme , the main difference being Iadded weathering on the legs, using neat Agrax Earthshade .

I had got some old Konflikt and Dust which I now needed to winter to fit in with the theme, So I started with the old Light Walker ‘The Spinne’ which had originally been done in the yellow cammo scheme, which I now carefully wintere using a sponge with Army Painter White, and adding The AK white textured paint on the base.

The Commander was actually 1/48th figure from an old Tamiya model.
