I think these are supposed to be in the AT-43 scale.

And like who wants the figures anyway, it's the mechs all the way for me.

That's what I was thinking, but they do look so nice, don't they?

I love all the DUST stuff and I've enjoyed most of AEG's efforts, so I'm hoping this will be a good game! Even if it sucks, having the WWII walkers in 30mm will rock!

As I read today there will be also a Deluxe Set for Dust with Painted Minis available.
We have to see how "Deluxe" the painting really is ;)

Now see, I'm the exact opposite.  The mechs are cool, but I'm much more interested in the figures.

I'd be more interested in the Mechs if I played SoTR but I tend to play AE-WWII. Mind you, I like the winter camoflague on the troopers. Saves me from painting it :-)

Thanks. :-) Mind you, you could have just linked to Brückenkopf as well... although I guess there aren't that many German speakers here :-)

The price of the deluxe set hasn't been set from AEG. They are still discussing it so any prices you've seen mentioned online are just rumours.

I'm not sooo keen on the american mechs.
While I like WWW2 mechs that take aspects from a style of tank and use them a little the american ones are just a sherman on legs.

The German mechs are far nicer...but I think I'm really holding out for the Russian armour (KV-47) from the original comic. With or without "Halo Pod" (kinda like a bunker busting drop pod for the KV-47).

According to the background, the Allies are just starting to build their own walkers based on captured Axis vehicles while the Germans are on their second generation of vehicles.

I ink the US walkers look like Shermans on Legs because they are Shermans on legs :-)

Sounds like normal US ingenuity during WWII to me.

Why do all the bases look like manhole covers?  ???

I have the KV-47, in 1:35, for my WWW2 project, a very nice thingy :-*

The 1:35 scale minis are all stunning.

The prices aren't too bad either, even with import tax  :(, for such amazing pieces.

I must say I'm very tempted to pick up the KV-47...though the "bulldozer" style german heavy work mech is calling out to me very loudly too.

The considerably cheaper, and poseable, plastic german mech also seems rather nice, I wonder if they plan to release more of the 1:35s in plastic.
