Ever since the introduction of the Allied M2 Medium Combat Walker and Axis Medium Panzer Walker we've had the option to use artillery in our Dust Tactics games. To facilitate the use of artillery the introduction of small unit of observers came into play. Alongside those observer units, came the sniper team.
These two figures are fielded together as a two man unit and come with the Dust Tactics: Ranger Observer and Sniper Squad
As is typical with many game mechanics, a sniper can choose it's targets, making it highly effective for disabling critical squad weapons such as heavy machine guns, flame-throwers or panzerfausts.
I was happy working with a lighter palette for these models and as I managed to keep them that way for the most part I'm pretty happy with the end result.
An interesting 'unit' and a good addition to any force.
ReplyDeleteThey definitely add some interesting dynamics to the game and positioning is critical. Get them in the wrong place and they're either dog-meat or simply useless. Get them in the right place and they're a real boon.
DeleteNice colour scheme dude! Very cool looking minis.
