Review: Konflikt '47 Soviet Heavy Infantry
Today I'll take a quick look at the Soviet Heavy infantry. I almost bought the taster set of these guys, but once I saw the full set on sale I had to get a box!
The ten man box is enough for 2x 5 man squads or 1x 10 man squad. At 140pts for 5 these guys arent cheap to field, but with 5 special rules and the dual weapon pack with AT rifle or SMG modes make them very useful!
A nice set with 5 pairs of poses and a multitude of arms to attached means there is some flexibility with poses. There are 4 models (2 pairs) with static left arms - suitable to add custom assault weapons I guess - and the rest are paired dual weapon packs.
The detail on the weapon packs and the bodies themselves is very clean, and the rivets are going to make drybrushing and detailing much easier. I love the rust effect used on Warlords' own paint scheme -> watch this space!

Unboxing: Konflikt '47 Pz IV-X
No post today, but we do have a new video showing our unboxing of the Pz IV-X from Warlord Games!
...and since we filmed it, Brother Handro even built it!
He even humoured me and posed a Pz V/IV...
Hope you enjoy the video!

Review: Konflikt '47 Soviet Terrror Squad
Another review for you guys, and yet more from my recent purchases from Warlord Games!
This time we have the Soviet Terror Squad.
This set gives 5 metal models - the appropriate size for a unit, funnily enough!
Nice sculpts already! some good poses and nicely dynamic, even if three of them are shouting at the sky....probably raining again...
They come with a nice set of knives and assault rifles/SMGs. The knives do actually look sharp - something even GW struggles with (Brother Handro: "Good old butter knives").
A nice kit, and a steal when on sale - I'll get these guys built this week and added to the shelves of grey!
The story for these guys is that they have a form of anti-freeze in their veins and are immune to both cold and fire. They're also fanatics and fast on table top, so for 65 pts you're getting A LOT of fun!

Unboxing - Warhammer World Exclusive Librarian in Cataphractii Armour
Another quick article to link in with a video due to appear on our channel this week: an unboxing, review, and my plans for the Warhammer World-exclusive Librarian in Cataphractii Terminator armour.
This is is a contentious model which initially received mixed reviews due to what was seen as legion specific detailing. The Cataphractii armour is the most popular, but the spiked pads, the skulls and the tattered cape all screamed Night Lords (probably influenced by the midnight blue paint scheme...)
Hope you like skulls...
As an Emperors Children player I didnt pick this guy up last year; partially as I had other purchases in mind (Brother Handro: "whatever happened to those Crimson Fists?"), partially due to the legion specific issues mentioned above, and partially because the IIIrd legion didn't make use of librarians....that one is a stumbling block really!
Not to worry, I have a plan! Fulgrim did support the Librarius project at the council of Nikea, and so early to mid-Heresy I imagine those flawed members of the IIIrd legion who consorted with the forces of Slaanesh might be rebranded as gifted. I have no back story yet, but it shall come...
Lets take a look at the kit!
Nice details with the skulls, the scrolls and the face. The small skulls around his head are really well cast!
You didn't want this in focus right?
The flame effect is also inconsistently received by most hobbyists - SFx on models is difficult, but this works (IMHO). The bloodletter though.....less so....
What ever could these parts be for....watch the video below to find out!
Overall a great kit guys - if you were holding out on picking this chappy up then.....well....don't. Hopefully this week you will see a blog post demonstrating that he might not be as legion specific as you might think!
