Dust Tactics: Ammo Crates

Dust Tactics makes a relatively limited use of terrain. In most standard scenarios each side gets to deploy just one ammo crate in a square where no other terrain is placed. The ammo crates provides 'Soft' cover.

In theory you could use any terrain element, a tyre stack, oil drums, rocks, crates, a fallen tree, sandbags etc.

These two ammo crates come with the Dust Tactics: Revised Core Set.


Simple enough to paint, undercoat, base-coat, wash and gentle dry-brush. Decals added (leftover from an old WW2 model kit) and then a quick coat of matt varnish.

  1. They do look fit for purpose, but is there any chance of putting a figure alongside them to give an idea of scale ?

  2. Look good, how big/small are they?

    1. I guess they're on the large side for 'real' crates. I'll put some dimensions and comparisons on the next post
