US Walkers & Shambling Shibito Added To Warlord’s Konflikt ’47
February 20, 2018 by brennon
Growing their Weird World War range, Warlord Games and Clockwork Goblin added in a new US Walker for your games of Konflikt '47 and a selection of the shambling soldiers too!
The first addition is this fellow, the US M3A2 Pondskater Scout Walker. This model is small and compact and great for making its way through all manner of dangerous terrain without issue. For those heading to the Pacific for some island hopping, this is the kind of vehicle you'd want in your force.
Shambling Shibito
A shambling and shuddering horde of Shibito is coming to the Japanese forces in Konflikt '47 too. These scary soldiers have no need for food or sleep and can overrun an enemy position if you're not careful.
As well as being unafraid of incoming fire they also do carry simple weapons for hacking and carving their way through the enemy should the need arise. The thing to remember about these soldiers is that they're not zombies. They are pre-programmed to just keep on fighting until there's nothing left!
What do you think of these new additions?

That is one chubby little walker. Based on that text those Shibito seem a lot like zombies but they say that those are not zombies but are pre-programmed. So I don’t get what those are supposed to be.
They are zombies, but better zombies than the Nazis have been able to produce.
Germany hasn’t had much success getting enemy troops that have been reanimated to fight for them (seems that zombified GIs still try to kill more Germans). Thus, their Totenkorps are all reanimated German Soldiers.
The Japanese reprogramming has been successful in removing that barrier, which is why the shibito contain reanimated soldiers from both Axis and Allied forces in the Pacific
Ah okay. Thanks for clearing that up.
I’ve been waiting for the Pondskater for a while — loved it from the first time Clockwork Goblin showed off a render — but I’ve got stuff to finish for Cold Wars here in the USA before I can let myself get one.
Maybe even at Cold Wars, but then the Star Wars Legion Release is the following week.
I love the Walker can see a unit of them scouting for targets.
The walker is curvy and round…just like I like me wamenz!
My only complaint is the walker has in-game options for a dual 50cal or a recoiless rifle, but it doesn’t look like either is included in this kit.
