Announcing Dust Warfare
Intense tabletop miniatures warfare set in an alternate 1940s reality


Allied Captain Joseph Brown looked out the window of his building at the devastated streets of Scapa Flow beyond. Smoke and fire issued from the battered husks of buildings. He kept his eyes open for signs of the enemy. Soon enough, a line of fearsome Axis combat walkers thundered with each step as they strode up the alley. Captain Brown loaded a grenade into his launcher and signaled to his troops…

Fantasy Flight Games is excited to announce the upcoming release of Dust Warfare, designed by renowned miniatures guru Andy Chambers! Our intent to launch a Dust tabletop miniatures game was announced even before Dust Tactics was released. Now the success of Dust Tactics has paved the way for us to take the next step. Currently in beta, this tactical tabletop miniatures game of alternate 1940s reality World War II combat will demo throughout Gen Con Indy 2011.


World War II with alien technology

The year is 1947, and World War II still rages, fueled by the discovery of alien technology. The world’s superpowers have developed unprecedented weaponry, including lasers, phaser cannons, and massive combat walkers. These war machines stride across the battlefield, protected by their heavy armor, and devastate enemy troops with their fearsome cannons.

Dust Warfare players assume the roles of generals, each commanding a custom-built army of squads, walkers, and heroes. Draw upon Axis might or Allied versatility as you wage ferocious battles for control of the rare ore, VK, needed to fuel the most powerful of the superpowers’ weapons.


Double the bang for your buck

Dust Warfare players build armies from the exact same set of miniatures as Dust Tactics. This means that if you already own a Dust Tactics army, all you need is the Dust Warfare rulebook. All the stunning Dust Tactics miniatures will be useable for Dust Warfare immediately upon its release, and as both games go forward, they will continue to draw from the same wealth of fantastically detailed miniatures.

Current fans of Dust Tactics will recognize the furious combat, strategic scenarios, and gorgeous miniatures. Players new to the world of Dust are in for a treat.

Dust Tactics introduced rules for fast, intense combats featuring combat walkers, bazookas, flamethrowers, and lasers. Dust Warfare builds upon the board game’s rules and strengths to offer players an exciting new game experience with the tactical and strategic challenges of a tabletop miniatures game.

Fantasy Flight Games has exciting plans for the Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare lines, and players who pick up Dust Tactics miniatures find their new units immediately useable for play in both games!


Command your army from start to finish

Designed by Andy Chambers, the Dust Warfare rulebook introduces unprecedented player engagement. Players first get drawn into the action during the Command Phase, where you have to choose how to spend command points during an escalating battle. You might spend command points early and often to advance and sustain an early lead, or you might save them up for dramatic late-game effects that may decisively turn the tide of battle. The Command Phase presents players with the chance to exert their influence and command style upon the field of battle in an engaging new way.

Players have the chance to activate all their forces during the Unit Phase, and reaction mechanics keep you fully engaged throughout your opponent’s turns. As enemy units close in on yours or begin to open fire, you can choose to spend actions from your next turn to react. Keen commanders will make good use of their reaction options. They will also learn how best to feint and bait their opponents to react, draining them of available actions.

As the battle heats up and casualties mount, you need to keep a sharp eye toward your army’s morale. The constant barrage of enemy fire can suppress your units or even force them to retreat. You may try to lay suppression fire even when you can’t destroy your enemy’s unit. Sometimes, just pinning them down can give you the edge you need.


Join the battle

Dust Warfare takes the rules and miniatures you love from Dust Tactics and expands upon them in exciting new ways to bring gritty, alternate-reality WWII action to your tabletop.

If you’re attending Gen Con Indy 2011, be sure to stop by our Exhibit Hall booth to catch a demo of this fast and furious miniatures game.

The future looks bright for both Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare. Keep scouting this page for advance intelligence on the Dust Warfare: Core Rulebook, and offer your analysis of allied and enemy troop movement to other commanders in our community forum.

Dust Warfare is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Ein neues Bild des Forgefathers aus anderem Winkel:

Ab Ende des Monats soll das neue Regelwerk für DW in der Version 1.1 zum Verschiffen bereit sein. Es enthält dann die bisher als Download verfügbaren Regeländerungen, sowohl bei den Regeln als auch bei den Stats. Pinguine und Baguetts werden jedoch nicht mit aufgenommen, da diese eigene Heftchen haben.

Sehr chic. Da juckt es schon wieder in den Fingern, aber erst sollen die anderen beiden Armeen auf handfeste Größe wachsen.

Technological Advancement at its Finest

The Olympic Liner is one of the largest passenger ships ever created. Built at the massive Proctor & Mercer Shipyards in Middlesbrough, in the North East of Britannia, these impressive vessels have carried people over the seas in style since 1861. Proctor & Mercer built and sold over 30 of these majestic vessels around the world; every nation clambering to own and operate their own fleet of luxury cruise liners. One of the main selling points is the advanced technological design, and claimed robustness of the ship's hull.



Olympic Class Troop Transport
However, the outbreak of world war saw many of the Olympic Liners refitted to fulfil a new role, that of a troop carrier. With its sleek lines and pioneering keel design, the Olympic Class Troop Transport cuts throu thghe water at high speed, allowing it to efficiently deliver thousands of troops to war zones around the globe. It is not uncommon to see these giants of the sea being escorted by both a naval vanguard and fleet of aerial support craft en route to war.

The Olympic Class Troop Transport will be hitting stores May 16th 2012. You will be able to place your advance orders in the Spartan Games Online Store from next week.

Erinnert mich dran, dieses Baby bei keinem Heimspiel von Antarctica einzusetzen.^^

Auf der Salute wurde ein neues SciFi-Tabletop im 10mm-Maßstab (wie z.B. Warmaster) angekündigt. Es ist ein Massensystem, ähnlich wie Epic. Kern des Spiels bilden die Landungsschiffe. Auf jeden Fall macht das Ganze einen guten Eindruck. Hier ein paar Bilder vom Brückenkopf:

Menschen Fraktion I



Menschen Fraktion II



Scourge



Shaltari



Entwickelt wurde das Spiel von einem ehemaligen Spartan Games Mitarbeiter. Die Minis werden aus Resin sein, jedoch "günstiger als Finecast". Erscheinen soll das Spiel im Juli.


Wollen sie mehr wissen?

Extremst geile Minis... Ich hasse mein Hobby.... Wieder was wo mein Geld hingehen könnte!!!

Werde es mal verfolgen wie es sich entwickelt aber sieht schon sehr nach Muss aus! *heul*

Vor allem wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe soll man die "Ladung" richtig an den Dropships befestigen können... wie cool ist das den!!!! Könnte nur für die Bemalung etwas nachteiliges bedeuten... aber mal sehen!

Mfg der Terrorbär

beeindruckend!

echt geile modelle

Puh, Glück gehabt. Normalerweise heißt es immer: "Ich hasse dich, weil Du mir das zeigen musstest."^^

Das befürchte ich auch. Merde!

Hier mal ein kleines Update weiterer Promo-Fotos:

Dropzone Commander ist jetzt vorbestellbar. Die Starterboxen kosten 68 GBP und beinhalten eine kleine Grundarmee (je nach Fraktion 13 bis 17 Modelle) und die nötigen Command Karten, web-exclusiv gibt es noch größere Sets. Das vollfarbige Regelbuch kostet 15 GBP. Interessant sind die Premium-Armeesets, die zwischen 20 und 30 GBP mehr kosten, dafür aber mit einer passenden Metallarmeekiste inkl. zurechtgeschnittener Schaumstoffeinlagen kommen.

Wollen sie mehr wissen?

Da das Ganze preislich doch erst einmal eine Investition wäre und es bisher noch keine Reviews oder freie Quickstart Rules gibt, habe ich den Gedanken erst einmal nach hinten geschoben. Da kümmere ich mich erst einmal um Epic, immerhin warten noch über 4000 Punkte Space Wolves und AdMech auf ihre Bemalung.
