Hi All We’re back with another podcast. This I’m afraid was delayed by schedules (we’ve all been very busy) and plague (I’ve had Australian Flu, if that’s a thing. The worst thing to “come out of Australia” since Castlemaine XXXX!) As you can see we’re keeping things topical so follow the Bear and listen to […]
Read more "Rift Tech Radio – Episode 8, The Finnish Army in Konflikt 47"Recent listeners to Rift Tech Radio will have heard us speaking about a contest that we’re running over Christmas and the New Year. We’ve realised that we announced this in the podcast but have no literature supporting it. We’re not great at this sometimes…. So what are we doing? Well first of all, the […]
Read more "Rift Tech Radio Diorama Contest"Firstly let’s start with explaining what Oil Washes are and why they’re suddenly such a hot topic. Oil washes are generally created by mixing artists Oil paints with distilled white spirits or Turps (as it was called in my day!). They are popular because Oils are very easy to work with and offer […]
Read more "Weathering vehicles, Getting Started with Oil Washes & Filters"Hi all, at the weekend there was a one day Konflikt ’47 event in Bedworth, near Coventry. Our TO asked for themed lists complete with a back story and players were allowed to select a single tank platoon or up two reinforced platoons from either Konflikt ’47 books released to date. I wasn’t initially playing […]
Read more "Running a Tank Platoon in 1250 point tournament"I was off on holiday over the recent school break in the UK and having been a bit frustrated with the paucity of my K47 hobby output I decided to set myself a challenge. I’ve had a planned Desert Raiding force for my US rangers for some time now. My vision was for a force […]
Read more "Painting an Army in three days.."This is the second of our Resurgence Starter Set reviews and I thought I’d take a look at the Japanese starter. As usual for Warlord this is a combination of a number of plastic kits, in this instance the Chi-Ha Medium tank and Japanese Infantry boxed set combined with metal and resin casts to add […]
Read more "The Japanese Konflikt 47 Starter Set"Hi All Hot on the heels of our recent review of the resurgence background and rules updates, the team reassemble to review the Japanese army list. Scott has luckily escaped from his holiday camp and joins us for his commanding take on the Japanese army. At the end of this episode we introduce our exciting […]
Read more "Rift Tech Radio – Minisode 2, The Japanese Army in K47"Hi All. Shipman has already called DIBS on the Japanese Starter Set review from the new resurgence book and as nobody else has expressed a burning desire to look at the Finnish starter, I thought I’d step up! So (for people who might have missed it) What is in the Finnish Starter Set for K47? […]
Read more "Winter Warriors – The Finnish Starter Set for Konflikt 47"Hey All. Firstly, we’d like (well me – Simon) to apologise for the rushed and badly edited first release of our Minisode. Despite editing and exporting a proper copy of the podcast in my rush to release our background and rules review I accidentally left some discussion in the stream that had adult […]
Read more "Rift Tech Radio – Minisode 1 – Resurgence Background and Rules Overview"This was a bit of a monster to edit. What with the general traffic noise in my street mid recording and the other podcasters dropping their recording devices and switching venues on us a lot of work had to be done tidying up the audio. I’m sorry if it’s a little muffled in […]
