So some of you may know that I am a MAHOOSIVE K-47 fan and have several fully painted armies, but when the new edition landed in 2025 I knew I had to do a winter Axis Army set on the Eastern Front… This would need to be an army I could complete quickly, speed paint if you’d like due to lack of hobby time at the time and so the Sturm Division 312 marched into existence!
The core of a Konflikt ’47 army is the Assault Platoon, the boots on the ground and you must select 2 advanced or specialist units as it’s backbone, the weird in the WWII. I chose to focus on Stahltruppen and Shrekwulfen!
Next up is your choice of Platoons, I went with an Armoured Walker Platoon comprising of a Panzer IV-X “Panzerlaufer” Command Vehicle and 2 Vogelspinne.
Following this up I added an Artillery Platoon comprising of a Schwertruppen command team and Panzershreck decked out in mki power armour, a Schwerfeld Projector & a Super Heavy Anti Tank Gun both with a tow for repositioning.
Last up I added an armoured platoon compromising of a King Tiger with Super Heavy Rail Gun & a Puma-X
As you can see I’ve gone for a heavy weathered look, with whitewashed armour. I achieved this with the use of heavy chipping medium over their original tricolour pattern. Once dried, I applied an off-white over the entirety of model and then removed areas of the white once dry. When this had settled I softly airbrushed off-white over these exposed areas to simulate areas of the whitewash thinning over time. AK Dioramas Dark Earth, Ice Sprinkles and Snow were added at the final stage.
I wanted to add the impression of the Vogelspinne being nimble and pouncing, a stark opposite to the lumbering Panzerlaufer. To aid in this storytelling I posed the Vogelspinne’s accordingly and on the Panzerlaufer I added stowage and begleit riders.
Hope you like my new edition/new army, I have a new one planned for 2026 and additions to this one so keep checking back for more updates – 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕴𝖗𝖔𝖓 𝕵𝖆𝖗𝖑
