Hello....
I've recently dived into the world of DUST with the Dust Tactics miniatures game. Anyone else here into DT?
-
I am - haven't had time to play much though. And the only mini I've painted yet is one of the Axis zombies to get a feel for the basecoating on the models.
-
A buddy has both the starter sets but we haven't played yet. Well, at least I haven't, can't vouch for the rest of the club does behind my back... Anyway we are primarily waiting for Dust Warfare (http://fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=173).

I am salivating for DUST Warfare! Here's a review I did of it......http://tincangeneral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=478
I'm very excited to see what the final book will be like, and think the game will take on a life of its own far above the boardgame; more of a true fleshed-out wargame than a light wargame.
-
In My country, many peole is playing the game, they have said that it is cool, but I never see the miniatures or a painting job.
-
I must confess to having played the board game only a few times before just using the figures and models for tabletop gaming using the NUTS! War Without End weird war rules.

I am actually about to start on my first Dust Tactic miniatures....painting one of the units (5 infantry)
-
I have the revised Starter and some other figures and enjoy playing it.
I am hoping DUST Warfare will be pretty good :)
-
Really looking forward to dust warfare. Anyone heard anything about a release date?
-
:D I have the first starter set and have played several games with it, the rules are easy to understand but not kludgy like 40k i am looking forward to getting more units and the warfare book. i have finally chosen a camo patern for my troops(axis) and i don't know about the zombies or the apes but i love the laser truppen. they also play well with any ruleset you want to use. the figures are excellantly made, my only complaint is haveing to hot water treat them to get the bends out. beyond that i would recomend the game to others.

FFG said fouth quarter 2011, but we're in december now with no news definitive. My understanding is that FFG rarely announces future release dates as it's bitten them in the tush badly in the past.
Personally, I am in hopes of a January or February release date, but that's wishful thinking.
I think the Warefare rules will be pretty good. Seems to rely on a heavy command structure from what I've heard....which makes sense considering the huge presence of distinctive leaders.heroes in the base game. I have a feeling it's going to be one of those things where the ruleset will be a jumping off point for a more robust home-rules version.
-
Yay! Got my Königsluther today - is this piece ridiculously huge or not! :o
-
I have seen stuff about DT but can't find what scale it is.
-
I haven't done side-by-side comparisons but it looks to be around 30mm, or 1/54 if you prefer real scale measurements. Slightly larger than traditional/"real" 28mm.
-
DUST is 1/48 - Comparison shots are here:

I figure you Dust fans may be have better luck finding this out that I have, but I've seen some modular building terrain advertised for Dust. Does anyone have any solid information on this?
-
This is the expansion you are looking for, I think:
http://www.beastsofwar.com/dust-tactics/operation-cerberus-expansion-dust-tactics/
-
The pieces for the building are unpainted, and meant to be assembled and reassembled according to the missions included in the expansion to the game. The building sections are 9 cm wide, which means that the various configurations cover the movement squares on the board. The price for the expansion covers the building parts, the two minis and the rulebook, which means that you will be paying for stuff you may not want or need if you only want the building parts. Possibly the building will be available as a separate kit later on. No word on that yet.

Does anybody know whether any Russians will be released someday? I want some miniatures to expand on my AT-43 Red Blok and I assume Dust Russians will look awesome with them in terms of theme and looks.
-
Well, Nikolai:

and the "Fury of Ivan" walker

http://www.dust-models.com/products_d.php?nid=12&id=49 (http://www.dust-models.com/products_d.php?nid=12&id=49)
are already released.
No clue when the rest appears...
-
My assumption is this - with the imminent publication of Dust Warfare, the minitures rules - at least one more faction should be released during 2012, and as the world is divided into the Allies, the Axis and the SSU, the Sino-Soviet Union, I would place my bet on the Russians coming up next. I'd be quite happy if the future SSU models will look anything like the Red Blok, as I already have a sizeable army for that faction.
-
Thanks for the help, gents. I'll have a look at the expansion when we get it in at work. I'm already using some Dust figures for SOTR, maybe I'll find a use for them.
-
Cheers komrads, much appreciated on the info on the Russians! 8)
-
what a wonderful pro you are, Agis :D
thanks for sharing ;)

You are always welcome!

Appropos, anybody have any of the Allies Heavy Assault Walkers or Axis Heavy Panzer Walkers actually on the shelf? My order for them has been stuck in "processing" limbo and the shop I ordered from has changed their status as per any prospective new orders to "producer out of stock" (or summat to that effect). So I started wondering if they really exist at all yet...
I'm sure y'all have noticed the Russkies elsewhere so won't bother with linking to pix of them.

I got my Axis heavy from Arcane in Stockholm, and according to the online shop they should have one of each of the heavies in the store right now. Maybe you should check it out?

I've got almost the whole Dust range on the shelf, but it may be a bit far for you to come.
