Ask FFG. They are the exclusive publisher of the game for the entire world.

feth. Yeah. That looks 5 different shades of awesome.

walkers a very good.

Two further boxes from Wave 1

FFG just announced two further boxes from Wave 1.

New 1:35 Recon-Walker Heinrich

Dust Studios will release the resin-kit of the Recon-Walker Heinrich in december. Because of its size (1:35) it is not intended for the game Dust Tactics and will not come with a stat-card. Nontheless the kit reveals a little bit more of the future products in the Dust Tactics line. The kit costs 115$.

I wonder how many will be put into 1/48 scale for Dust Tactics and when. All of them are amazingly detailed but too fragile to be used for frequent game play.

Probably all of them. The 1:48 are a little bit less detailed and some parts are fragile (MG weapon mounts) but so are the mounts on quite some GW models, too.

Yeah, fragility is something you learn to deal with as a wargamer or you get another hobby. Part and parcel. Good of you to mention it, however.

How tall is the Recon-Walker Heinrich?

edit: I can't see any actual mention of size on the site, I realise there is a scale but there is nothing to say how big something is at all. Does anybody have any experience or able to give me a frame of reference

The recon walker is quite huge, close to two thirds of a Warhound Scout Titan. Maybe the following picture of other 1:35 models helps.

Pictures of future models

The pics shown are from 1/35 and 1/6 show-case models, but in the not so far future they will also be released as 1/48 (Dust Tactics) models for use with the game though some with a different name.. Enjoy!

Whoa! That's a bit taller than I was thinking!

Any pics of it next to a figure from the game?

Can not handle awesomeness if this magnitude this will break my bank

Very awesome models. 1/35 is way too big for tabletop gaming. It is unclear how many of them will be changed to 1/48 and when with FFG controlling all the publishing and marketing of Dust Tactics.

Latest news form DT.com: "Whether pre-painted or unassembled, these stunning model figures are of the highest quality and are sure to be the pride of your personal collection. Please be aware, however, that Dust Models products and collector pieces are NOT part of the Dust Tactics line, and as such do not include any game-related stats or unit cards."

What this means is that some will be turned into 1/48 collector piece but not recognized by FFG for the Dust Tactics game.

I can`t for several reasons tell you the exact number of minis that will be converted, but have a look at the pictures of the Monde du Jeu I recently posted. Those are 1/48 for the game and you will surprised how many are already converted.

Of all the stuff they have in 1/32 scale on the Dust page this is the one I want in 1/48 the most



Yeah, a Nazi chick with a pet hyena. Ain't that sweet?

Manfred has been available at the Monde du Jeu and some other heros are already in the pipline. So, I would say that there is at least a 50% chance that some day we will see her in 1/48.

Oh MAN when will we stop seeing re-engineered gorillas?

those mechs are fecking awesome. If anybody has some recon walker heinreich pictures please post them as I would dearly like two to make a walker out of (mammoth tank mk 2 from command and conquer) but of course need to have a good idea of the size before I buy.

I'm going to go on record with a "I hope... never!" here!

Least it wasn't the gimped chimps AT-43 kicked out. Man, this line is filled with so much cool stuff; it's like all that is bad and vile wiht it is focused in those things.

Least the walkers are coolness.

Hi guys,

I emailed dust and a chap called Clement kindly emailed me this photograph when I asked him about scale.

have no idea what the heck this means or what the unit of measurement means.





What does this mean? What the heck does this mean?!!!!

It translates into "Too big for the standard 28mm heroic scale we all know and love"...

It's giving you the measurements of what the "real" vehicle would look like, and how it would compare to 1:35 scale

Well if it is 1:35 that means it is only 5 inches tall. how is this too large?

Compare a 54mm Inquisitor model to a standard 40k model.

The scale is wrong. That's what would happen in this case too. The weapons, etc are going to be far too large.

Well wouldn't the basic chassis serve as a good basis as something else, weapons and that sort of thing aside?

Honestly I do not get the scale questions.
1:35 and are 1:48 are scales and that's it.
Are you asking for comparison shots next to 40K minis?

I want the Ubertoten & the Big Joseph now!!!!
