This Dust Tactics:Tank Busters Squad is an example of the simplicity of Dust Tactics. Squad sizes are typically three or five figures. A lightly armoured squad size is normally five and heavier troops comprise of three miniatures.
The Tank Busters wear XM-18-22 aerial asualt armour which allows them to literally 'jump' into combat allowing for considerable combat manueverability. They are also equipped with M10 bazookas, with enough firepower to worry even the heaviest Axis walkers. They're a pretty effective unit and a pretty decent additon to the allied forces you get in the Dust Tactics Core Set.
Simple and quick to paint. These definitely ended up too dark for me. I'm still pleased with the overal gritty look but I was aiming for something quite a bit lighter. A silly mistake on my part due to undercoat colour selection and a little too much heavy washing. Tansk Busters... only more grimy.
They look the business to me, really great effects.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael, the overal effect is what I was after
DeleteGreat job dude! War gets you dirty, I'm sure the backwash from the M10s has a lot to do with it.
ReplyDeleteThan you Bob, War certainly does get you dirty and those M10's likely have a lot to do with it
DeleteOh yeah!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like 'em Jay
DeleteThey look awesome.You'd be dirty after a day of blowing all them panzers!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mathyoo. After a day of blowing up Panzers, I think a soak in a nice hot bath is in order :)
DeleteI like the gritty look of them, Adam. I'd say you've done an excellent job on them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan. I just wish I'd started with a slightly lighter pallette. It's a theme with quite a few of these models, but I'm learning
DeleteAll good stuff to bulk out the force for variety
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Joe and somethig new to bring to the table too
