Tuesday Review – Heavy Flak Grenadiers


These are the first of the heavy armored soldiers for the Axis. They come in the revised core set.

Pros:
Damage Resilient
Burst Weapons are good anti infantry, decent anti light tank, and can take out airplanes
Armor 3

Cons:
Slower compared to their Allies’ counterparts
Range weapons have to reload
Only 3 in a squad
Weapons benefit only from a unit moving last turn.

Tactics:
You could stick Lara in the squad but when they are reloading she has to wait to fire or more. I would keep them alone and allow them to wonder and take out what they can get their hands on. These guys would be good for holding an objective or reactive fire when the enemy is moving always.

Tuesday Review – Hans


It’s the Blackhawk’s counterpart in the revised core set.

Pros:
Scout Vehicle
Very Deadly Anti-Tank
Very Deadly Anti-Infantry

Cons:
Slower walker compared to the Allies’ ones.
Armor 3
A more expensive light walker
Short range weapons

Tactics:
Take the scout move when able to. Also be more cautious when using this walker he doesn’t have the speed of the Allies’ walkers. I would hide and wait with him. He would be great for holding an objective. The enemy would be forced to get up close and personal with him and not like the results.

Tuesday Review – Hell Boys


These guys are a better BBQ squad with 2 flamers instead of 1. They come in the revised core set.

Pros:
2 Flame Throwers
3 Shotguns
Fast

Cons:
No demo charges
All short range weapons in this squad

Tactics:
Like the death dealers I would leave them to do what they do best blow up whatever gets in their way. I would move constantly to get as close as possible but also maintain cover advantage while doing so. I would say Rosie would be the best suited hero to join this squad because she could as a bit more fire power when it comes to tanks.

Announcement

 I have made a new release of Army Builder it has all the units to Cerebrus including Angela and Chef. Go on the links page at the bottom is a link.

Also Unofficial Dust Cards have been released on Dust-Models.com website. If you have the models of would like to have the cards just go on the website and order them. On the official Dust Tactics Facebook Page (Not Mine) Paolo Parente has posted the Otto card for people to download themselves. I will have these cards up on my blog. They are not official and do not have points value. Fill out the poll on the side for what you think the points value should be I will be posting more polls later. Army builder also has these cards on the files. I'll also be doing reviews for them.

Within the next week or so the Heavy Walkers should be released keep posted for further info. Dust Warfare will also hopefully be released this month. I am working on the Army Builder file to get it ready for Dust Warfare. Since it is a must buy book to play Dust Warfare my stuff for Warfare will be go to page blah for rules. Stats will still be up on the army builder.

FFG is looking for Volunteers to show off their models and give tutorials if you have any take some picks and email it to them. There is a post on their site about it. If you would like for me to post it on here feel free to email me and they'll be up on the following Friday.

With it being the Holiday Season and a cousin dying of cancer, TWC may be a little slow on posts in December. I am trying to get back to schedule with my postings. I'm looking for some help so if you'd like to become a regular poster on my blog feel free to email me. I'll give you complete freedom to post anything Dust related.

I have a surprise for you guys with some models I painted you should be very excited to see them when I get them posted. They have custom conversions and an unique paint job unlike any of the Dust. I'll later be doing a couple of how to on the techniques I used when I get a chance.

I'll keep you posted as further stuff comes up. Stay Tuned Dust Fans.

Tuesday Review – The Hammers


A heavy assault squad with a punch. They come in the revised core set.

Pros:
Armor 3
Move 2
Jump
Anti-tank and Anti Infantry Weapons
Fairly cheap heavy squad

Cons:
Only 3 models
All weapons are combat weapons so they have to get really close

Tactics:
Put rhino in this squad he makes a perfect hero for these guys. OZZ 117 could also be perfect a unit could flame another unit then punch what’s left of them.
