Jealus of that SSU striker heli. I want one but they are discontinued. Seems a fair size of the models from the days of Tactis are, and they are not coming back.

Sad to hear that, i bought a bunch of stuff over at miniature markert a few years back when they were selling off the old fantasy flight edition.

What i am currently after are some premium Fallschirmjäger infantry units to finish off my airborne army. just waiting on the re-stocks.

Nice, post pictures when you get it all together


Our group has found that 150 points feels about right for a full scale battle. as you can see from the above battle report 300 points is just massive like an apocalypse battle where we used an entire 8ft table.

btw what IS the plastic they are using?
All the knifes and macine gun barrels are bendt... 2 times did i put them in hot water and straighten them out, only for for them to return to exact same bendt position 1H later both times...............

Think i will limit myself to some basic level painting on these minis: axis grey highlights, skin, weapons, pouches and ammo belts, so there is 3 colours there.

Not sure, i have seen some kits with some warping, but i only have a few odd pieces in my collection. one of my heavy grenadiers has his ammo pouch on his arm instead of his belt and that thing isn't coming off so i left it instead of risking breakage.

Got a batch of premiums in the mail today that i ordered in april, compared to the kickstarter premiums i got 6 years ago, the quality has been inreased a notch. More details has been painted, and there was a small level of dust weathering on pants of the infantry, but it is still single layer paint all over the models. Strong pigment covering in that one layer tough. Faces now had shade layer too.

Packaging for the walkers has improved, there is now foam in the box in addition to bubblewrap bags.

For me personly, i am satisfied, i have payed more for equal quality by both low rep and high rep painting studios in the past on 28mm scale. Will prolly do one more round of prem orders in the future to finish off my allied and ssu premium kickstarter forces, and then go normal primed for future forces.

Sadly everything i want in premium is still out of stock.

All i need is 3 squads of axis paratroopers, but nobody has them anywhere in premium.

yup, the better preforming a unit is, the faster it is sold out. That is how it is with all games.

I asked them about the restock speed for premiums and they said that it was happening at random selections and only when they did not have new wave releases in the works, so sadly all one can do is wait.

Yeah i think the focus right now is on the IJN and mythos line.

They have so many kits out of stock it gets frustrating sometimes. they have tons of units in stock i don't need of course.

Finaly found a shop that had the IJN starterbox in stock, they have realy improved the model quality since the tactics days. Crispy clean detail, minimal flash, coloured plastics minis instead of primed painted minis, i hope all factions eventualy get the same treatment as IJN.

Well, nothing can beat the minis in your own hand, but here is 3 images right from the bag, as a substitute to whenever you get some
Tengu has the same plastic, but not too well glued togeather, there are big seam gaps down the rail gun where the two plastic parts meet and around the coils, get the kits for the walkers and do the job properly, if you can.
note, not a single sword or gun was bendt, that is a big step up.

Did some more DUST promo love tonight . taught another new player the game using my demo armies-

AXIS VS ALLIES 150 points

US heavy rangers VS german heavy grenadiers

Spoiler:



Spoiler:


As it was an intro game we didn't use any scenario objectives, so the carnage lasted just 3 turns before the table looked like this-

Spoiler:


With nothing left on the table to hurt the bulldog the axis forces were forced to retreat.

Actualy, more new ninjas then that are out for sale now, they just have not been mentioned on the main site news feed yet(lets blame it on the summer laziness ). Apart from two heros that are placed in allies and axis range, i belive we now have models for all the platoon options in the expansion book.

I was hoping for a restock on the premiums but i finally just gave inand picked up the primed minis for the fallshirmjager force i wanted to build.

I had to order some paint so they get to hit the table "naked" for now

The 150 point force-

special characters
.kurt
.galeazzo
.rolf
.bloody baron

squads
.command
.AA
.AT
.guided missile team.

air support-
.moskito
.addler
.X2 blitz

Spoiler:



Battle number 1

we used the 3 objective "3-2-1 contact" mission
scoring started on turn 2 and it was an 8 turn game.

I was facing my loner army steel guard infantry horde.


I was ahead on points scored, but he was rolling saves and damage resilience like a champ so i was loosing the body count battle...kind of normal facing the russian infantry horde i suppose.


Spoiler:


Spoiler:


After my last plane went down i had no way of dealing with his walkers, so my command squad decided to quit the field.

Game 2

mission
VK stash/tug of war

1 center objective that could be pulled. starting on turn 3 if it was pulled closer to 1 side of the table a victory is declared.

I was winning this battle in hand and it was only the Ranger player remembering about the objective, and a few lucky dice rolls that pulled (litterally) him a win.

Ok i got them all painted up finally

Spoiler:


Did 2 games-the first was the tug of war scenario VS the SSU steel guards at 63 points infantry only.

Spoiler:


Spoiler:


Spoiler:



Scoring starts on turn 3 and by that time the SSU had pulled the VX crate far enough to their table side to pull off a win. although surprisingly i did manage to wear down their numbers with just small arms.

The second game was a 3-2-1- contact-triple objective scenario VS heavy panzer grenadiers. Also infantry only at 63 points.

Spoiler:


Spoiler:



I find the paratroopers are very much glass hammers putting out blistering amounts of fire especially against lighter (less than class 4) infantry. but being light class 1 infantry themselves they do not have much staying power especially in the open.

Well this was an intense game.

The mission: 3-2-1 contact
the points-150
the factions-ALLIES heavy rangers VS SSU steel guards

To counter the SUU heavy infantry The allies swapped the command vehicle for an artillery vehicle

Spoiler:



The artillery being a hard counter to the steel guards super infantry save did some good work. making this a very close and hard fought game.

Spoiler:


In the end the SSU had the lead on points but were down to a scant 2 models on the table but the ALLIED forces were not able to get into a position to finish them off before the end.

Spoiler:


A very intense and satisfying game.

Yea, obj games a tricky that way, put too mutch fokus on the objective and you gain all the aggro, wait for too long and you realise the mistake a turn too late.

I got the impression that the german paratroop faction was based on hit and run sinc ethey are squshy but mobile, would replacing a plane in favor of a walker to help screen your troops help you? i think you allready have enugh killforce, you need screens, IMO.

The big problem i ran into was dealing with class 4 infantry. i just do not have enough heavy firepower to deal with them.

I just ordered a luft horst walker to aid them when fighting steel guards as a replacement for the adler air superiority fighter.

Another close game of DUST this week. we are getting our missions form the online downloads section found here-

https://www.dustusa.net/play-more

This battle was the secret weapon mission-

https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2769af2096c6962e0360/t/5ed15ba7d45eb54e7a12528c/1590778792431/secret+weapon.pdf

battle points were 150

I ran my fallshirmjager as the attackers replacing the air superiority fighter-adler with the luft horst drop walker.

My opponent was running a heavy ranger command squad, a devils own scout squad, 2 USMC heavy weapon teams, 2 bulldog phaser heavy walkers, 2 rattler AA walkers(with phaser turret options) and 2 tank commander characters.

Now that he has gotten hooked on the game he has decided to play USMC so i gifted him some of the units i wasn't using in my allied army including the tanks and USMC teams above.

The paratroopers played the attackers in this one, thematically fitting their role. as it is with dust it was a pretty brutal back and forth that came down to turn 3 he failed to activate the secret weapon on his activation and i barely managed to eliminate his command squad with the engineer.

nice table.

did the horst help your situation, or do you need to face a ssu list to find out?

In this case it was a good swap. the adler is really good if you are facing enemy air, but having some range from the horst helped support the paratroopers.

i really wanted to get close enough to use the flame thrower but i know that the secondary weapons on the horst are really just backup, not it's main point.
