Dust Tactics: Tank Busters, Heavy Ranger Tank Hunter Squad

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.

  2. Great job dude! War gets you dirty, I'm sure the backwash from the M10s has a lot to do with it.

    1. Than you Bob, War certainly does get you dirty and those M10's likely have a lot to do with it

    1. Cheers Mathyoo. After a day of blowing up Panzers, I think a soak in a nice hot bath is in order :)

    1. Thank 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
