March to war under the banner of the Axis! With the downfall of the Third Reich and the sudden rise of the shadowy Green Vault, Axis forces have consolidated into a single monolithic entity. Although the true ambitions of their leaders are shrouded in secrecy and misdirection, for the average Axis soldier, the goal is simple - survive, and throw back the enemies who press in from all sides! This starter army is the perfect way to begin your Konflikt '47 Axis collection, giving you a battle-ready force packed with the latest technology in one box. It’s also the first place you can get your hands on two brand new war machines, before they go on individual sale later. At the core of this hard-hitting force is the Assault Platoon, composed of a three-man Stahltruppen squad and five Nachtalben. The Stahltruppen are incredibly tough, and all but invulnerable to small arms fire - send them forwards and get stuck in - while the Nachtalben are fast-moving horrors, combining the intelligence of an elite soldier with a monstrous genetically modified body. Backing them up is an Armoured Platoon, with a scuttling Vogelspinne light walker ranging ahead of the line. This fast, versatile walker can be equipped with a wide variety of weaponry to fulfill different missions, and makes up for its light armour with serious mobility. Alongside it strides a Panzer IV Ausf. X. Marrying the proven Panzer IV chassis to six powerful legs and a Schwerefeld gravitational projector, this walking tank can crush enemy infantry and vehicles alike - literally - both at range and up close. Leading the entire force is an exclusive Platoon Commander, available only in this box. Clad in the same massive armour as the Stahltruppen, this officer’s abilities can turn the tide of battle, and he’s no slouch in hand-to-hand fighting either! The Axis Starter Army contains:

• 1 Warlord Resin Axis Platoon Commander (Exclusive to this set)
• 3 plastic Stahltruppen
• 5 Warlord Resin Nachtalben
• 1 plastic Vogelspinne Light Panzermech
• 1 plastic Panzer IV with resin upgrade kit
• 5 Konflikt ’47 Order Dice
• 5 Konflikt ’47 Rift Dice
• Waterslide transfer sheet
• Assembly guides

Grind the enemies of the Axis under your armoured boots! Intended to spearhead assaults on the most heavily fortified strongpoints, and clad in armour the equal of many earlier tanks, the Stahltruppen are the cream of the Axis infantry. Rift-led advances in metallurgy and servo-motors have enabled the creation of enormously powerful armoured suits, capable of hefting heavy weaponry with ease. Stahltruppen think nothing of walking headlong into storms of machine-gun fire, shredding enemy infantry in a hail of automatic fire, and opening breaches for follow-up troops. Only veterans of the highest standing become Stahltruppen, and they rightly consider themselves the elite among Axis forces. This plastic boxed set gives you 9 multi-part Axis Stahltruppen heavy infantry, equipped with weapons such as the StG 44Z assault rifle, MG 42 light machine gun, and Panzerbüchse 41 anti-tank gun - a hand-held weapon to these behemoths! The kit is packed with extra components, including variant heads, wicked tri-edged daggers, and a choice of five leg poses per sprue for even greater customisability. With so much detail on the models, they’re a great opportunity to show off your painting and modelling skills, and their sheer bulk makes them a great centrepiece for any Axis force. On the Konflikt '47 tabletop, Stahltruppen are the heaviest Specialist Infantry yet available to Axis players. Capable of shrugging off small arms fire as they advance across the table, and festooned with automatic weaponry, they spell death for any enemy infantry foolish enough to get in their way. Their Vormarsch! Rift ability ensures that, when the decisive moment comes, they will keep advancing - no matter how heavy the incoming fire might be!

No longer even vaguely human, the Nachtjäger are the result of extensive Rift-tech alteration to human generics. It is unknown if the subjects for this programme are volunteers, but their effect on the battlefield is without question.

The Nachtjäger are unleashed wherever the fighting is fiercest, inflicting devastation upon the enemy and crushing morale in one fell, bloody swoop.
