Modellbau-Artikel

FFG veröffentlicht nächste Woche einen Artikel, wie man die Minis aus der Grundbox schnell und effektiv in einen sehr guten Zustand bringt. Ausführender Künstler für den Artikel ist José Brito.

Als Teaser haben sie die zwei nachfolgenden Bilder veröffentlicht:

Mhh, laut BGG plant FFG anderes für Dust als es AEG vorhatte.
FFG will erstmal nur die Miniaturen als Expansions rausbringen die es auch schon im Basisspiel gibt. Ob und wann neues kommt ist noch nichts zu bekannt. (Laut Dust Studios brauchen wir uns keine Sorgen machen, aber von FFG dazu bisher keine Stellungnahme, also nix offizielles)

Hoffen wir mal das FFG nun nicht nach Mutant Chronicles auch noch Dust in den Sand setzt 😱

Teufelskreis: FFG will wohl nur Expansions rausbringen wenns Basisspiel gut läuft. Die Kunden wollen aber nur das Basisspiel kaufen wenn Expansions da sind oder zumindest sicher angekündigt sind.

Ich bin nun jedenfalls erstmal verunsichert, will nicht wieder wie bei AT-43 (und teilweise Mutant Chronicles) hunderte Euros in den Sand setzen. Hoffe FFG klärt da mal bald auf...
 
Die Wave 1 ist schon auf dem Schiff nach Europa, von daher müsste schon das Schiff untergehen, damit was schiefläuft.

Weiterhin sind in Wave 1 zwar Einheiten aus der Grundbox, aber teilweise erhalten diese schon erweiterte Statkarten.

Wave 2 ist grade in Produktion und die Minis in dieser Wave sind teilweise schon neue oder Läufer mit neuen Waffenvarianten.

Ich kann zwar aus rechtlichen Gründen (NDA) nicht mehr sagen, aber ich würde nicht viel auf die Gerüchte auf BGG geben, teilweise wiedersprechen sie deutlich den Realitäten.

Und ja, FFG hat etwas andere Pläne als AEG, die hätten nämlich aufgrund geringerer Ressourcen die Waves deutlich langsamer veröffentlicht.
 
"Operation Cyclone"-Erweiterung angekündigt

dust-cyclone-dt008.png


A rich mine of VK has been discovered in the subzero wastes of Antarctica, and its direct access to the sea makes it a dangerous new focal point of the war. As the Axis forces fortify their defenses on the icy shores, the Allies plan a swift and daring amphibious assault in the hopes of claiming the enemy position. Who will gain control of this bountiful energy source and the waterways necessary to transport it? And what will this mean for the outcome of the war? It will take monumental courage to defend your prize, or heavy casualties to take it! Prepare for fierce amphibious landings on the frozen tundra of Antarctica... this is Operation Cyclone.

Operation Cyclone is an exciting new campaign expansion for Dust Tactics, the tactical miniatures board game of explosive battlefield combat! Coming later this winter, Operation Cyclone brings the fight from Antarctica’s frozen waterways to its icy shores. With an exciting scenario guide including eight new battles, as well as the supplemental rules for artillery, amphibious assaults, and more, Operation Cyclone includes everything you need to expand your Dust Tactics experience!. Also included in Operation Cyclone are six new terrain tiles, four ammo crates, four tank traps, nine terrain squares, and two amazing new heroes!

Two New Heroes Enter the Fray

Amphibious Landing terrain tiles allow attacking forces to pour onto the battlefield, while artillery rules bring a whole new dimension to the game. Leading their forces to glory or the grave, two new heroes also enter the fray.

Dazu Passend Bild und Text:

The approach was relatively painless, a fact that left Rosie vaguely unnerved. Her landing boat had cut through the floating ice, its ramp slamming onto the icy shore and releasing her anxious squad to rush inland. Intel had warned of heavy Axis resistance, but aside from some light machine gun fire... nothing. But before she had to make sense of it, her answer dropped from the sky with a deafening wail. The mortar shell landed mere yards away, knocking Rosie into a snow drift and leaving her ears ringing. Then, through the carnage, she saw it: an enemy walker like none she had ever encountered, with massive gun racks lining its imposing frame... and it was preparing to fire again.

Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of two new expansions for Dust Tactics, the tactical miniatures board game of explosive battlefield combat! The Medium Assault Walker and the Medium Panzer Walker (for your Allied or Axis armies, respectively) bring tremendous firepower and flexibility to your Dust Tactics forces.

A Range of Tactical Options

Each walker body includes multiple weapon configurations, allowing a new level of tactical versatility. You can customize the walker that comes in each, or, when fielded along with the walkers from the Dust Tactics core set, a range of exciting combinations become possible. Will you bathe your enemies in fire with two Hot Dog walkers, or will you combine Hot Dog’s crowd control abilities with the heavy ordnance of Steel Rain? By tailoring your walkers for each fight, you’ll bring new strategies to your Dust Tactics experience.

What’s more, each walker comes with an attachment that utilizes the awesome destructive power of Artillery, the rules for which are included in the Operation Cyclone Campaign Expansion!

Rain Fire on the Battlefield

For the Allies, the Medium Assault Walker expansion contains one Allied walker that can be customized to multiple types – including the Allies’ newest walker: the Steel Rain! Altogether, the Medium Assault Walker expansion delivers all the parts you need to field a Pounder, a Hot Dog, a Mickey, or a Steel Rain.

The Medium Combat Walker M2-F, or “Steel Rain,” is a mobile dispenser of mass destruction. Although its mighty rockets don’t leave any space to carry the .50 cal, and the weight of the frame and the artillery shells prevent “Steel Rain” from jumping over obstacles, these minor drawbacks are overshadowed by an impressive armament. Its 4.2’’ rockets can set sizable areas of the battlefield aflame and annihilate the enemy, and its massive mortar fires explosive shells weighing 20 kilos each!

A Barrage of Rockets

The Axis’ Medium Panzer Walker expansion likewise contains one walker that can be customized to various types – including the Axis’ newest tank: the Lothar! Included are all the parts you need to field either a Luther, a Ludwig, or a Lothar.

dust-axis-fan.png

The model Pz. KpfL. D is affectionately nicknamed “Lothar” by the Axis troops. Its enemies, however, don’t share the same affection. The recognizable shape of the Lothar provokes fear in any soldier who sees it. It carries a formidable armament of Nebelwerfer missile-launchers on each arm, and can deliver a deluge of fire to fill the battlefield with destruction. The missile racks are big enough to carry an incredible number of rockets, and can strike from great distances on the battlefield.

Keep checking back for more on these exciting new walkers for Dust Tactics, including an announcement for premium painted versions. Then, later this winter, get ready to duck and cover!

Und Befehlseinheiten wurden auch angekündigt...

Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of two exciting new expansions for Dust Tactics, the tactical miniatures board game of explosive battlefield combat! With The Boss, an Allied Rangers Command Squad, or Kommandotrupp, an Axis Sturmgrenadiere Command Squad, you’ll gain a new level of control over your Dust Tactics forces.

Both The Boss and Kommandotrupp have the Command Squad ability, making them indispensable in overseeing your other forces. Their exceptional motivational skills even allow them to reactivate units that you’ve already used! What’s more, both squads have the Artillery Strike ability, meaning they can serve as spotters for any friendly tank armed with Artillery (as described in the Artillery rules in the Operation Cyclone Campaign Expansion)!

The Boss is a squad of Allied officers, and they’re on the battlefield to ensure that every order is perfectly executed. Like other Rangers, the Allied Command is equipped with assault rifles and a machine gun, but their real strength lies in their ability to coordinate the attacks of other units. Known for its powerful leadership capability, this unit is a high-priority target that must be protected at all costs. But used wisely, they’ll tip the balance in your favor!

For the Axis forces, Kommandotrupp is a special unit of field officers whose skills are invaluable. They too are equipped with assault rifles and a machine gun, and like their Allied counterparts, their presence on the battlefield can change the entire course of battle. A wise general should take care to protect these experienced officers.

Keep watching in the coming weeks for more on these versatile squads, including an announcement for premium painted versions, as well as how they can be used to maximum effect along with the recently announced walker expansions and Operation Cyclone Campaign Expansion!
