How good are the operation boxes? They just have heroes, tiles and scenarios, right?

Yeah, a bit overpriced, but you can't win 'em all. Sealion has OZZ 117, Markus the monkey, two tank traps, two ammo crates, new tiles including building tiles and a campaign book with expanded background and new rules.

Ah, so some of the rules are only in the expansions? Hmm... lame, but I can understand that I guess.

I think FFG lets you download all the rules though:

http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite_sec.asp?eidm=123&esem=4

So you don't need to buy the expansions just to get the rules.

If you just want the rules and missions, you can get those for free. You are basically paying for two characters, some more boards and a few more crates/tank traps

I think I saw somewhere that they're going to be releasing heroes separately, maybe for when Dust Warfare is out? I dunno if it's the expansion heroes, or the other ones that were in the game night kits. Since I'm 99.837q84% sure I'll just be playing Dust Warfare, I'd rather be able to just buy the heroes separately, tiles are just backdrops for photos for me...

The missions can not be downloaded from the FFG website, just the rulebooks from each expansion and the new core set.

Hero packs will contain two heroes that were exclusive to US only tournament packs and one new hero not released before.

The Axis pack contains Stefan Retter, die Totenmeister and Grenadier X.

The Allied pack contains Johnny One-Eye, Action Jackson and the Priest.

Also, the new Core Rules have all the rules in compact form, even from the expansions.

Compact form? like a mini rulebook like GW does? or just simplified?

He just means put all into one rules document, and probably fixed up any glaring writing issues.

I've read all the way through the new core rules, and it's true.

The new core rules are available on FFG's site to download for free, so look for yourself.

How are the figures about warping? Is it a common problem? Does boiling water fix it?

A few of mine have bent guns, it doesn't really bother me.. but yeah I've read you can use boiling water or a hair dryer, bend it back into place and then dunk it in some ice water and then it should keep it's shape.

As easy as with AT minis bending them back is.

One of my Grim Reapers had a bent barrel. I fixed it by first holding the bent piece under really, really hot running water for a bit, bending it back into shape and then holding it under cold running water for a bit. Worked for me.

Sweet! Thanks all.

KOMINK SOON FROM DUST GAME FOR ALL FASCIST HATING KOMRADES: http://www.dustgame.com/products_d.php?nid=18&id=201



ALSO KOMES VITH ARM AND HEAD VARIANT DA:



Could this be the first of a great red tide that will deliver us from those pesky Amerikans and Germans?

Nice. Not to be picky, but surely he'd be the second?

Fury of Ivan would have been the first. He's even shown looking out of one

Forgot about that one. Ivan is based on a robot German chassis though, maybe thats my silly reasoning for forgetting.

It's a fairly valid reason. Roll on proper Russian models though

Hear hear, give us KV-47's already!

Is there any exact date on when the Heavy Walker's are to be released? Maelstorm games has it as the 19th of November, but is this correct? Anyhow, how do the Axis ones match up to imperial Guard Chimeras? A little bigger perhaps? I'm thinking of using them alongside my At-43 Cobras (manticores) as Hydras/Basilisks...or a Minotaur with twin earthshakers for Apocalypse games (and the Allied one could work as either a Leman Russ Exterminator, or Malcador Infernus). Damn i love walkers. ^^

I *think* they are going to be 40k super-heavy size given the scale of the normal walkers next to sentinels.

They take up 2x2 game squares I think.. so that's 18cm x 18cm or around 7"x7", give or take a lil.

With some converting you could prolly make them work though

The Otto comes with all the parts to make either a standard KV47A or KV47B

I forgot about the Otto being a KV-47... so Nikolai is Russian model number 3

Phew, now that is a little bit too large to be a Hydra now isn't it? From their shots alongside some regular troopers it looks as though they're not going to take up their allocated 2x2 entirely, so there may be hope still. Argh I just want a pair of those Königs-Luthers.

With the auto-howitzers? If so, I'll be ordering a few from their Dust 48 range.

I haven´t read all these pages so please excuse me for asking , but what size are Dust Tactics Figures ? I mostly want the Gorillas I have seen around .

Unskul .

The average Dust Tactic trooper is about a head taller than a 40k Imperial Guardsmen, though this probably wouldn't matter too much with the gorillas.
