Konflikt ’47 has had a busy first year, and this update makes the game feel properly alive again.
Warlord is not just celebrating the relaunch, though there is clearly plenty to be happy about. Instead, the post lays out where the range is headed, especially for players watching the plastic kits.
Warlord Doubles Down on Plastic Konflikt ’47 Armies
The big takeaway is that Warlord wants Konflikt ’47 to grow as a proper plastic-supported game. The article looks back to last September’s new edition launch, which arrived with a rulebook and four fresh plastic kits. Since then, Warlord has been following the roadmap shared in January, while also explaining why plastics matter so much. Resin and metal still have charm, especially for characterful oddballs like Der Erntemann, but plastic makes army building easier.
It also gives players more weapon options, kit flexibility, and conversion bits. For a game full of walkers, weird infantry, and dieselpunk nightmares, that matters a lot. Currently, the range is up to 14 plastic kits, not counting event push-fit frames. Three more kits are landing soon, while three walker kits are planned before the end of 2026. Those walkers should include plenty of weapon options, which is exactly what players want from big centerpiece models. The faction rundown also shows decent spread across the Axis, USA, Commonwealth, Soviet Bloc, and Empire of Japan. Axis players already have Stahltruppen, Vogelspinne, Totenkorps, and Nachtzehrer. The USA has Fireflies, Linebacker, Slammer Samuels, Grizzly, and a hero. Commonwealth players get automated infantry, automated directors, B for Bertie, and Percival. Meanwhile, Soviets are building around Ursus variants, Molot, and heroes.
Japan gets Kimura Tadaaki, Ghost Attack Infantry, and the upcoming Onryo. However, Warlord is also honest about timing challenges. Plastic output has increased massively, and walkers are more complex than standard infantry kits. Some production happens through partners, including a main supplier in South East England, Italeri, and Wayland Games.
So, schedules can shift before pre-orders open. Still, Warlord says once a plastic kit is on pre-order, it is locked in. Beyond models, Invasion Amerika arrives at the end of August with new narrative scenarios. Then, the third Rift War volume goes on pre-order in November. Better yet, 2027 plastics are already planned, with more variety promised. For more details, read the original Warlord Community article on Konflikt ’47 one year on.
Summary and Final Thoughts
Overall, this is encouraging news for Konflikt ’47 players. The game feels like it is moving beyond a cool alt-history side project. Instead, it is getting the plastic backbone that keeps armies growing. If Warlord can keep momentum steady, this range could become seriously dangerous.
