Our intrepid crew are heading back from the wargaming extravaganza known as Adepticon, and as they cross the pond, we thought we’d share some of what they got up to over the weekend Of course, first and foremost we want to say a massive thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, see our stand, and get their hands on the newest Konflikt ’47 book and miniatures!
With the launch of Festung Europa falling on Adepticon weekend, naturally the focus was squarely on Konflikt ’47, and as such we saw a lot of heroes, horrors, monsters, and mechs stomping about the place. With so many great models on display from the community (particularly our Raiders, who came together to make a fantastic display board, complete with their very own Sturmriese!), it was the perfect place for Head of Product and Konflikt ’47 project supremo Pete Gosling to give a little presentation about the future of the game and universe.
After a recap of the progress Konflikt ’47 has made so far (spoiler alert – it’s been great!), Pete looked forward to what the future holds. Some of it we’ve already shown off, such as the roadmap, but with Festung Europa released and Invasion Amerika now beginning to loom on the horizon, we got a chance to see some extremely cool… somethings! We’re keeping our cards pretty close to our chests as to exactly what they might be, but given that Invasion Amerika features the United States and Imperial Japan…
There was also another silhouette on display – but what this one is, well – only time will tell!
We also got to take an exceedingly rare glance at the desk of Jon Heeney, one of the Design Studio Sculptors. Familiar to those who’ve been on our HQ tours, Jon’s workspace is a treasure trove of concept work, prototypes, pre-production samples, and more. This is just a fraction of the goodies scattered about his station, but we reckon every Konflikt ’47 fan will find something of interest in this snapshot!
We were also treated to a look behind the curtain at the process of how legendary artist Stefan Kopinski created the iconic artwork that launched the new edition of Konflikt ’47. Swipe through to see how it went from a barebones sketch through numerous revisions and additions to the finished piece:
Finally, we also got to look at the development of the sinister image of Der Erntemann, again as seen through Stef’s art:
Not bad for a weekend away! We’re incredibly excited for the future of Konflikt ’47, and can’t wait to reveal more of the mysteries of the Rifts to you all – in due time, of course.
