Announcements

Just a few announcements, for those who don’t know there is a PDF of Operation Zverograd on the FFG website. Looks like it will be coming out soon.

Also Dust Models has coming soon 3 models that look really nice and the Recon Mickey that’s not painted and cheaper. First model is the Victory Square Zverograd City Monument. It’s a simple model but nice piece of terrain to use for the game especially with all the building we have now we can make a city bored. Next models is the Panzermeister. He’s an axis walker pilot and seems to be for the new Zverograd Axis walkers. He’s kind of like Nikoli but for the Axis. The last models is the Nachtjager pretty much Sigrid’s personal Jagdluther walker. It looks very close to the Jagdluther but has slightly modified guns and comes with a Sigrid pilot that fits in the hatch. These models will make a nice addition to your Dust collection. They have also released the cards for most of the Zverograd models. There will be reviews for them out soon.

My LGS’s distributor is being slow with my copy of Dust Warfare so when I get my copy I’ll write up a review about it.  If you see Alliance games just yell at them for me, haha.

Hobby Wednesday - English Recon

So today's hobby tutorial is pretty simple but allows you to expand your models. I decided to make my Recon Boys look like English Highland Guard. I got the legs and heads from Victoria Miniatures. Just rip off the legs and head off of recon boys and glue these new legs and head. For the

Tuesday Review – Otto

Today’s review is the Otto, it is a Dust-Models.com medium walker. He is a stolen KV47 that the Axis  refitted it with Werfers instead.

Pros:

Has decent anti tank and infantry weapons

Standard walker stats

Hass assault ability

Cons:

Short range weapons

Can only have 1 per force

Tactics:

I’d make him the lead tank for your lighter walkers armor 3 or less. Due to his short range he can be affective for holding an objective or close quarter games.

Tuesday Review – Fury of Ivan

Today’s review is the Fury of Ivan, it is a Dust-Models.com heavy medium walker. He is a stolen Ryu that the Russians couldn’t figure out how to power the lasers so they refitted it with large cannons instead.

Pros:

Has decent anti tank and infantry weapons

Has armor 5

Has 6 wounds

Long range weapons

Cons:

Only has 1 weapon so it can only shoot at 1 target a turn.

Still vulnerable to Napalm weapons

Can only have 1 per force

Tactics:

Since there is no SSU unit stats out yet I would say make him your Jagdluther of the SSU army.
