Who doesn’t love a good mech?
I enjoyed the insight on the design process and how Warlord had the challenge of making the armies both recognizable, but also infused with rift technology. This was a very interesting interview and would love to see more like this in the future.
Great interview. Jon’s insights into the design process are really interesting. Love the concept art shown as well.
Another interesting interview, thanks guys!
Stompy mechs FTW
Looks promising… you’ve made me a fan of Konflikt ’47.
Very interesting to get a look behind the scenes and seeing the actual people who design things, don’t see that from other game companies.
I’m liking the ethos of the design behind the game – moving from the ‘bolt action with extras’ concept to a standalone design process is so much better this time around. Love the idea of pitting some vanilla WW2 units aginst some of the rift tech guys though – cant wait to see that battle report! Keep it up guys 🙂
Love the backpacks on the US troops.
The discussion on Heroes sounds really cool. I could see if opening up different ways to play your for by just swapping out a single figure.
I love the Commonwealth robo Tommies! Cracking looking models
Love this
Love the concept and all the designs. Really love the soviets creatures and characters. Hope its supported well and new releases quite often to keep it going.
some nice conscripts
Another great piece of behind the scenes insight
Great video. Can’t wait to see what comes next!!
Fascinating stuff.
Apropos of nothing…i met Dan Abnett yesterday, he’s a thoroughly nice bloke.
great interview, always interesting to hear about the things behind the game
Great to get a look behind the scenes!
The tease… 39 minutes of tease..
I just want to say GRINDR!
Oh my!
The whole design process for konflict really works for me.
Good interview!
I said it on youtube but the thumb nail for this video looks really good 😅
more germans stuff please, and is there more stuff comming from allied countries?
Keep it coming can’t wait to get my gaming group into this!!!
Nice to see the thoughts behind the designs
tbh the germans look a bit bin-like
K47 looks like fun
Great to hear from the design angle as well. Thanks!
Saw the Japanese mini range in the Weekender, and love the look of them!
Interesting to see more about design. More like this in the future please 😀
