Paolo Parente's DUST: Allied Walker Crew Kit Unboxed!

Old School here. Today's Un-boxing and review will cover the Allied Walker Crew Accessory fro Paolo Parente's DUST. For those of you unfamiliar with the site. Paolo's site sells high quality, resin miniatures, including many unique units that may not have Warfare rules, but look really great. I would say his site is what Forge World is to Games Workshop. Anyway, I wanted a way to dress up my Allies Walkers and for $4.99 plus $2 shipping I couldn't go wrong. I did a little video that walks through the kit and how it functions below

Old School's Entries for the Jump Master's Challenge!

Old School here with some pics of my entries for the Jump Master's Challenge painting contest at Dropzone Games' Grand Opening Celebration. While I am a bit nervous about having legends like Dave Taylor eye my work, I relish the chance to get some of my old favorites on display.

DUST Allies Mickey Walker Painted Up!

Old School here with my kill point for the week, this time, I am showing off my first DUST Warfare model; the Mickey! When I first saw Paulo Parente's artwork for DUST Tactics, the Mickey was the very first walker I saw and I thought it was cool and I wanted to paint one some day. It is fitting then that my first model in my Allies army is the famous M2 Medium Walker. Let's take a look at the pics:

Easy Camouflage Patterns with Silly Putty Masking!

Old School here to share a quick tip for those of you who want to use camouflage in your armies. I have struggled with tape and paint-on stuff for some time and never got the actual camo effect I have seen on various vehicles in my military career. I read about using Silly Putty for masking on a WWII forum and decided to give it a try ...

Dust Axis Zombies

CVinton here to post my first painted Dust Warfare stuff. I love the axis zombies so of course they would be the first thing I painted. After cleaning the mold lines, disassembling a little and repriming I was ready to paint.

I want to go with the prisoner theme so they have the classic concentration camp wear. After that they needed a little more gruesome of a look so out came the blood effect.

A little cork basing material with some plasticard tile pieces and the bases were done. I would have liked to use the brick style plasticard but being the middle of the night I really didn't have it available.

I'm very happy with how these guys turned out and am excited for the next Dust stuff I have to paint.

It Came From the Forums: Zombies, Gorillas and Hot Chicks!

Old School here with our first ever DUST Warfare It Came From the Forums post. The love must be shared and we have certainly found an army worth sharing! The army we look at today is Popg0estheworld's Axis Army. This army is living testament to the quality of the DUST line and to the painters from the DUST community.  Let's take a look at this incredible army!

Dust Warfare Rumors From Gencon

Wandering around gencon I made my way back to the fantasy flight booth to ask a little bit about the models in their case.

First thing I was told was that the prices were on fact te premium prices for the models.

Second was that they are working on making the heros in the campaign boxes available for warfare players without having to buy the boxes. This is a pretty awesome thing to do because if you're not playing tactics you're buying a lot of extra you're not using. The person I talked with pointed out that they want to do something like the hero box for it. Also working on being the original characters no long available like bazooka joe. He owned the oversight of being designed and in production before warfare was thought of.

Next when I asked about the models and what to expect in play I was given some fun scraps. First for the SSU tanks they surprisingly have a transport capacity. Also they'll have a rule related to tracked vehicles.

Also the Germany tank will have a transport and has a rule about being a command vehicle.

Lastly the French are infancy with the allies. No changing of history their.

That's the rumor round up and the end of Gencon for me. Hope everyone in attendance had fun and we'll be back next year!

Axis Flier Prototypes spotted at Gencon!

OST here with a little update Cvinton sent me from the floor at GenCon: here are pics of the prototypes for the axis fliers - German Jets!

DUST Warfare: An interview with Paolo Parente, Introducing DUST Chronicles

Old School here with a little something different. Since DUST Tactics first came out, I have had an eye for their crazy walking tanks and Pulp WWII background. When DUST Warfare came out and was being shown at Adepticon, I was skeptical, but very interested given the scale of the models and the opportunities I saw for painting great looking vehicles.

This Summer, I spent some time in Maryland and saw a lot of people playing DUST Warfare at Dropzone Games and finally, I decided to make this my next game system. I have been slowly getting involved with it since, but I found some folks at DUST Chronicles who have already taken it to the next level and created a magazine for the community. Here is an interview they featured in the first issue with Paolo Parente, which gives some great insight into the man who created the game and where the game may be heading.
