**** thats cool. Cannot wait to get a few of these.

Maybe its the angle but the Lenin looks goofy. Heres hoping it looks better in person.

That AA Track must be a Commissar's. You know, seeing as how the only air units right now a SSU. They must follow up air attacks ensuring cowardly pilots don't survive to breed.

Taking a second look I'm actually seeing a lot of possibility. All the flat edges make perfect anchor points for stowage which may help camouflage the odd shape, they are also the perfect places for cheesecake nose art, which in many ways the dust aesthetic is.

I'm liking that tank it's the love child of a BMD-1, a KV-2, and a T-34

what a lovely child

Its ordinary tanks (based on IS 3 soviet heavy tank, I suppose) Where is a **** walkers?

I'm just pleased that they're actually making a tank, instead of walkers, walkers, walkers. Although the original designer (some day I'm going to look up that japanese hobbyist's name) certainly had a thing for big, big, big guns. (Which does tend to be an anime staple…not to say fetish!)

So where are our excellent German tanks, and the American ones? (Not hoping for Brit tanks; theirs sucked until the 1950s.)

Looks great, I assume from it's name it's going to be a armour-5 or is it their version of the armour 7 you think ?

I am betting its armor 6 with Winter Child infantry 4 as part of SSU balance…just a theory but…the fluff says the SSU wasn't concentrating on walkers but super soldiers.

There's a tiny, bad resolution version of the stat card circulating and it looks to be armor 6 with 8 HP

It also looks to have damage resilient and a carry capacity 6.

Well that would explain the giant turret. I guess you could fit 6 guys in there with the commander, loader, gunner & drier. You could probably fit them in next to the dinette, 4 four burner stove with oven and dual basin sink, across from the double bunk and just above the master suit diagonal from the jacuzzi and just underneath the ammo magazine. I plan to get mine with the indoor gym option.

Foldout Dust tank playset? Count me in! :-)

Just wondering what the allies or axis might get for armored vehicles. Was looking at the Wehrmacht 47 stuff from GHQ for ideas.

Allied

M26E4 Super Pershing w/120mm gun
T95 SPG w/105mm gun
Centurion Mk1
M19 SPAA w/Dual 40mm Bofors

Axis

E- 75 “Tiger III” Heavy Tank
Geschutzenwagen Tiger Fur 17cm K72 SPG
12.8cm PaK 44 Waffenträger

It was general practice for Russian infantry to ride on the tanks, I expect its the same reasoning here, no room for crew and passengers in that turret.

It's not the Bauhaus Grizzly from Warzone (crew of 23…and over 35cm x 20cm x 20cm model).

So what happens to their massive walker with the twin guns and the skis?

I hope there are rules for this kind of vehicle making it somehow less maneuverable than the walkers - otherwise, what's the point in having walkers if tracked vehicles are just as good?

Like terrain restrictions, and they have to move 3in before they can turn.

already in the game….

pg56 --Tracks
Tracks were once the most common propulsion type for tanks. However, tracked tanks have been gradually overshadowed by walkers as first the Axis and then the Allies produced them in ever greater numbers. If a tracked miniature declares a Move action that begins, moves through, or ends in difficult terrain, roll a Combat Die for it. On a roll of Δ the miniature’s movement is stopped when it first contacts any terrain. When a tracked miniature takes a March Move action it does not treat difficult terrain as open terrain.

There are already rules for tracked vehicles

Whoops, my bad - thought I was posting in the Dust Tactics forum. Can get confusing when I play both. :-)

Which is the sad reason why I stopped playing tactics. I wanted to be our local expert on DW. I found myself getting mixed up far too often. Most of our DT players are following suit.
