Four new walker units have been anounced for Dust Tactics. Two Axis and two Allies.
These are light walkers and I especially like the look of the Allies versions.

I know Dust Tactics isn't familiar to the vast majority of people on BOLS but I really like it and I have been really impressed with the miniatures that they have released so far so I am going to try and champion it here.

I have always loved a game with a board. Ever since I first played Blood Bowl. The stricter rules, rigid movement and clearly defined lines of fire etc for such games always provides a much greater tactical challenge in my opinion than a game with a far more abstract and organic concept of such things like 40k ( as much as I love it) that always seems open to rules abuse and cheating.

Anyway, I would ask that you guys check out some of the minis and see what you think. I'm gonna try and get some of mine painted and posted up soon.

I just picked up Dust Tactics box set w/an appropriately nice GC for my birthday.

It looks good (haven't had a chance to play it yet) and remarkably similar to AT-43.

The Walkers are what sold me on trying the game. The Axis medium walkers from the box set are fantastic!
