I like the tanks: very sleek.
Back from the dead, almost.

Hmmm..wondering if you could take the legs off the German walker and replace with tracks or tires.
Love the Russian tanks.
Is that $99 price tag on the walker though?

The price tag is for the Premium painted models. Retail for the Heavy Walker should be $40 USD (or about $25 if you look around online).

Were they actually selling any yet?
I noticed they still havn't released the other Soviet tanks or even the helicopters they put up for preorder months ago.

Russian stuff looks good but the Prinzluther seems definitely underarmed... ???

That could well be it. Didn't recall the previous German superheavies didn't have a Carry Capacity, unlike the Allied biggies.

Looks like Dust is getting more aircraft, rather nice German jet fighter-bomber (2 variants);

Agreed, like them too, a bit stubby and "dwarfish" but still nice!

How do you play a JET fighter/bomber on a skirmish board?  The thing would cross the entire battlefield in one go.  I can understand helos but not jets.  I smell 40Kism here and that would be to a shame.

Your mission is to attack the airfield and destroy the enemy jets before they can launch ...

Or, the model sits to the side of the table or on a stand over it to indicate that you have air assets deployed, rather than to show the actual position of an individual aircraft.

There was a quite brilliant model "asset marker" type doing the rounds of the UK shows some years back in a WW2 game.  It was a Typhoon destroying a German tank.  The trick was that the (weighted) model exploding Panzer acted as a base - metal rods running from it inside the modelled rocket trails held up the aeroplane, so it looked like it was suspended in mid-air.

Those tanks look so good cause they're just minor modifications of the real IS-3. :D Not a bad thing though - they're great.
The walker looks cool, but a bit too big for my taste.
The jets are... "dwarfish", I've been looking for this word since the first time I saw them.  :)
