I paid $40! do it!!

Man you must have looked like a tourist when you got that in NY, I believe retail is $29.95. That's what thewarstore.com and miniaturemarket have as suggested retail anyway.

oh yeah, I guess I bought some Secret Weapon basing materials too

Mark up happens in Manhattan as the joint is so expensive to begin with! I am surprised they weren't putting 50bicks as the price!

Yeah, with the lower costs of their stuff, they could help under cut GW and either sink the 30yr old company, or force it to make some smart changes and stop acting like a bunch of Twinks

Stopped by he flgs, they have a section of dust tactics, but they said very few players. If anyone I looking for the set Dave got you may want to instead pick up operation Cerberus. It's msrp is 44.95 instead of 29.95, but looks like you get twice the building structures and two figs. They also make Quonsen huts for airfields that look neat.

Dave I think I'm going to get drawn into the game because of you. They also have 1'x1' thick outlet sided card tiles for the game board. I need to find pics o them because the back of the box only has partial images shown.

The shop I was in in Albany had the whole line of Dust stuff, including the Quonset huts, and the Operation expansion packs. I saw the one that came with the buildig. They even have fliers!

I'll let myself get into it when I'm don with building necromunda .

You can never be done with Necromunda, as soon as you think you're done, a dome will collapse opening a new ancient alien world! The more I read about the game, the more I want to pick up the core set and at least paint the figs. I have a Modeling magazine that has a great article of someone painting a proper weathering job on the walking tanks, they look amazing when painted well.

Our Very Own Klaus bought the older core set that came with 4 walkers http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.com/2011/08/unwrapped-dust-tactics-starter-pack.html

Yeah, i need the warfare book I have the FFG Dust Tactics starter, now they are coming out with More Russian stuff, I see nice Axis and Allies stuff too

I went to all 3 of my FLGS, nada! I did find some big bottles of AB primer though

Order through miniature market Dave, looks like the best discount on them right now, or call Vik at he warstore.com and have him bring you a truckload to gencon .

Or get three and send them to me!!!! only 20? Feth! 40 euros here!

seriously, get them and send them over, i'd gladly send you the money for that

that's hat I was getting at, I can't afford another game system, so this will just never happen , who am I kidding, I'll order some next week.

happy fourth of july my american friends!!!

Happy thursday to you VIk!

LOL... thank you sir

Very glad those Dust buildings turned out great, I was dying to buy some but saw no comparisons. Will be a great addition to your already great terrain

Thanks guys!

Well yesterday we drove down to Indy for a great concert, while we were there, I stopped into a game store locally, and scored these

DUST tactics revised core set
DUST Warfare core rulebook
Another tenement building

Inside the box you get full allied and axis forces

packaging is a win here, you could pack everything back up into the box like new for storage


I'll show each figure in greater detail when I paint them

figure scale shot

Walker Scale shot

Glad I'm not the only one with an urge to go buy these since you showed the tenement building. Depending on how the day goes today I might pick them up locally. Did the main box come with some reversible tile game boards? If so can you snap a picture of hem to see if they'll make a good base board for necromunda?

Yeah, it has board game panels in heavy cardboard like munda terrain, but the game mat is basically a paper poster, so no, not very long lasting. The idea of the Dust Warfare hardback book is that you use the Miniatures from the Boardgame for a tabletop game. aka- no board and no grid

I have a manufacturing error though lol

These are assault troops with jump packs. To save weight, they apparently wear 1910 era leather football helmets

This is Corporal Miscast face

He looks a little Ninja Mutant Turtle thingy to me. lol

Oh dear, looks like he didn't see the brick wall when using his jet pack.

How modify-able are the walkers? Looks like they come in one piece with just the weapons separate.

Dave:

You can contact the company and get a replacement.

The setting of Dust is an alternate World War Two, so the helmets are period.

Dust is based around fixed loadouts, so there's not a lot of 'customization' you can do. From a modeling standpoint, the infantry figures tend to be in ridiculous poses, the female miniatures are all cheesecake, and the walkers are fixed-pose, and have to be cut apart to be modified.

On the plus side, in theory, the paint on the figures is primer, and you can paint directly on them. I have not tested said theory.

I painted a German work walker, it is primer, I saw the paint went on just like it was pre-primed, had to make the paint go around the decals,, but I saw on the Dust site that they also have decal sheets for the factions. It is almost like you are playing not just in a alternate world war setting, but the cheesecake that done in the movies of the late 40's early 50's as well. In some ways Dust makes me feel like I stepped into a Sy-Fy Weird War II marathon! But I actually enjoy the Weird War II stuff

Brian, my friend, no need for custom weapon loadouts, when this is possible:

I was thinking more of using them as unique parts, rather than in-game use...

I've had plenty of inspiration and ideas from pictures I've seen of the models though.

You will have to let us know what the rules are like, the models don't look bad at all, especially after seeing that painted walker.

The Primer is cool and all, but there are still faint mold lines that need scraped, so it's sort of moot there. The heads and torsos have a ball-and-socket joint for posability. I just posed and glued the first Ranger attack squad.


I'm not sure what kind of plastic it is, but it ain't styrene, or the primer blocks the liquid cement. CA was the only option.
Operation: Anchorage anyone?

Probably one of the most enjoyable DLC I ever played in FO-3

And I will likely also scrape mold lines and glue mine to a pose and leave them like that, the bases are what makes them seem taller than standard figures, they merely come with a steel soap box is all.

I kind of like the bases. You could replace them easily enough, but they are nice and pre-riveted, making them sort of holy.

Aha so this is dave's new hideout.

You really are crazy for toys dave - hope you finish bag-end one day! I liked the look of how it was going.
