Gen Con Dust Models preview




CVinton here.  Now that I've joined OST in falling in love with Dust, I've been around the Fantasy Flight booth a lot and here are some shots of all the preview models that are scheduled to be released fourth quarter.  Most of the pictures have a tag in front so if you're curious what they are just read the tag.  The French have thrown their Beret's in the ring being an ally unit for Germany it looks like.  Pretty excited to see that as a new German player.

SSU mortar and flak tanks.  



German walker.  Looks kind of troop transporty.

  1. Haha noob! Those are SSU tracked tanks and the French are for the Allies aka the good guys! All is forgiven though because I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference two months ago either!

    Thanks for the great coverage and for being our Gencon spy!

  3. For sure mistake on the tanks. The French models are on the same shelf as the Germans and every shelf is homogenous. I'm assuming and my history nerd peaked up to say the French legionaries are for German. US has Brits, SSU has Chinese, Germans have.....

  5. On another note, those prices seem a sharp increase over current models. That sorta worries me.

  6. Ost brought up a good point about those being the premium model prices. I'm sure the in painted ones are in the normal price range.
