Painting the M8 Grizzly from Konflikt '47 [How I Paint Things]

[@gregpower308]

Brilliant video mate. Thank you.🙂 Now this is a massive compliment; you are the Bob Ross of mini painting. 👍👍👍

[@Guru_Swami]

I’m working on a Coyote walker right now and this was the EXACT video guide that I needed. Thanks Sonic! 🤙

[@yeoboshong]

Nice. I'd like to see more Konflick models

[@mattmark94]

really cool model! never heard of K47 before

[@justinavery8664]

Ive been in the Hobbies for some time , I like your paint style and presentation you bring with each episode. I like that you reinforce the techniques are universal, and it doesn't matter what the paint subject is. 👍

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

As I'm fond of pointing out, past a point, paint is paint! Techniques aren't specific to any single miniature, no matter what might be written on a pot. ;D

[@timothyyoung2962]

Dieselpunk is such a cool aesthetic.

[@H8FTW]

@Sonic Sledgehammer Fantastic paint job dude. Glad you like our game and models.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Some of the coolest dieselpunk stuff going!

[@howaboutthishumidity]

K47 is my favourite game at the moment. Decided to give it a go using my existing Bolt Action Germans with some Schreckwulfen thrown into the mix, and here I am now with multiple big bloody armies of exclusively K47 units. Think it's a bit of a no brainer for existing Bolt Action players to give it a go with such a low barrier for entry. And of course, Americans are one of the forces I haven't touched yet, so you had to post a video showing off how cool their walkers are!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

The walkers are probably one of my favourite things about the setting, and I really love the idea of continued lend lease gear across the Allies. K47's one of those games that's so easy to get started with if you're already playing Bolt Action, and I have to admit I like the system a little better - especially when you include the officer tweaks and bonuses from later supplements.

[@andrewkennedy9134]

Great video....Id like to see your take on some more Konflict 47 stuff too!

[@pedrobastos8132]

This model has a *strong* Wolfenstein vibe to it, I love it!

[@brennonr]

yes! this is a great line of models

[@andreaspersson5639]

You're making me itch to paint some kind of walker. Just haven't managed to find a good-looking one that's available to me, yet.

[@ubiquitouspov1060]

Awesome.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Glad you think so!

[@garybullock5917]

Great as ever thanks

[@justanothercaptain6566]

Awesome as always. Thank you! Cheers 🍻

[@damianlz]

I learnt a tonne in this thank you so much!

[@MonsieurPopu]

Imma use this. Thank you.

[@kalanihanna8931]

You have impeccable manners.

[@johnkelley9877]

It looks great Sonic! The Konflikt '47 models are quit interesting. I also like the olive drab camouflage method you used and I will try it on my models. Thanks for sharing this net tutorial.

[@Castillo525]

More weird war 2! 😍

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Eventually, sure! It's something fun to return to now and then.

[@russ5838]

A1 looking mini m8ty.

[@darioscomicschool1111]

Thank you for this Video!

[@ChazCharlie1]

I appreciate how you say "how I paint" instead of "how to paint".

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It's a pretty conscious choice! Painting is all about finding what works for you, and how you actually enjoy working on your miniatures. How I paint them might not work for you, or you might adapt some of the techniques for your own use. A little tweaking is all it takes. :D

[@wargamesgeek1334]

Superb, love the weathering

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Nothing a bit of foam can't do, eh? :D

[@thanasisgeronimos9124]

very nice paint job....almost like a real thing..!!!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Well, as real as it gets! 🤣

[@yoyoyo9669]

so cool!

[@phildent7534]

Stunning once again great tips and tricks

[@stephendavinson4441]

Great job love the colour.once you get the base/shade and highlight colours done it really pops 👍

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Thank you kindly! :D

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Sonic .

[@ericromero5438]

That thing is cool AF. I had to buy one. Although mine is a Japanese walker

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

There's just something funky about the walking tank concept, right? :D

[@ericromero5438]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I'm excited to be moving away from GW. There so many other great miniature companies out there

[@Fox01313]

Thanks & looks great! Between Cast Dice podcast/Warlord Games podcast and this channel I'm pretty much hooked on getting into Bolt Action/conflict. Not happy though on hearing about the resin issues, for the warping would it be easier to carefully cut the pieces smaller then rebuild it?

[@Ben-fk9ey]

Looks great! Any more Conflict 47 on the way?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Eventually, yeah. I'd like to do a few videos on the subject since it's such a neat range of miniatures, though it does mean having to circle back around to feldgrau and olive drab all the time. 😅

[@sagacity1071]

Had a look at thier website. Gives me serious captain America: first avenger vibes! What do you need to get started in 47?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

There's nothing that'd stop you from painting up a German force as Red Skull's Hydra troops, I suppose! 😂 K47 doesn't have army-specific books quite like Bolt Action does, so the core rulebook has the rules and army lists for each nation. There's two supplements which add a bunch of additional units and some neat additional rules (kinda making the game Bolt Action 2.5) which I'd recommend, but aren't strictly necessary to start. For miniatures, the K47 starter boxes aren't amazing, unfortunately. I'd suggest a box of plastic infantry for whatever army you're keen in, then something weird like armoured infantry or werewolves or a walker. One of the Bolt Action starter armies plus a 'weird thing' will give you a ton of options with all your core infantry and support choices covered!

[@sagacity1071]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio so are the "normal" bolt action units compatable? Hail hydra!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Yep. The core of most armies are still things like plastic US infantry or German grenadiers, so if you've got a Bolt Action army you can just add a walker and be laughing. For K47, basically anything that's classed as 'late war' for Bolt Action will fit for the game set in the near future of the weird war.

[@sagacity1071]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio thanks for the details!

[@glease3144]

Great stuff, I'll be taking a few of these techniques. How did someone dislike this? Were they looking for videos about painting watercolours of their grizzly bear mates?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Anything that's up on KZbin for long enough will almost always end up with a couple of dislikes. I've no idea what motivates them most of the time, but it's just the way of things.

[@TaltosVT]

Kinda wish that I hadn't watched this. Now I have the urge to buy another walker for my British army. :-)

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

There's always room on the shelf for more Allied armour, right? ;D

[@angrypantz87]

I wish people would stop trying to get me into awesome games. Sludge had just made it to the front of the queue...

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Sludge does look rather interesting! It'd be something I'd be curious to try the Turnip28 look with, seeing the rules. Though Sludge doesn't have giant stompy tanks...

[@angrypantz87]

I do like stompy things

[@CameraHam]

¿¡WAIT YOU NEED TO SHAKE WASH!?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Yep... Paint, wash, varnish - anything which is a solution suspended in water or another similar carrier will settle if you don't shake it.

[@JimmyCarmine]

This and your Captain America are just crying out for a MCU inspired narrative campaign

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

The Paragon program in K47 is pretty much directly lifted from the super soldier Captain America stuff, and some of the crazier German kit would fit in fairly easily as Red Skull's troops... Hmm!

[@johnkelley9877]

It looks great Sonic! The Konflikt '47 models are quit interesting. I also like the olive drab camouflage method you used and I will try it on my models. Thanks for sharing this net tutorial.
