Lots of New Stuff Coming Soon ! Infinity Starter Set, DUST 2.0 Rulebook and Dropzone Commander Faction

Well it looks like Infinity is finally coming out with a starter set for all those gamers that were on the fence. I got these images from the guys at Beasts of War and I know there is a lot of talk about what will be at GENCON this year. So here is a look.

The image does not show the units but you can go to the Infinity site to see the models that will be included. So far a lot of complaints about the price point but I am interested in seeing the box contents before I make that decision.
 
Next up is the New DUST rulebook. This is Battlefront's new take on the rules and we will have a physical copy here any day. BF has provided a PDF of the rules for free and if this link doesn't work go to their website and under Gaming you can find it.

Check out the Tactics rules here...

 
 
Dropzone Commander has really gained some momentum lately and new pictures and artwork about their upcoming faction continue to surface daily. 




 
 
So there is some new stuff to look at and we will keep updating with more information.

Robotech RPG Tactics

Well I remember being a fan of Robotech and Macross when I was a kid. I am glad that this has gotten some attention. The kickstarter on it was very successful and from the current news, there will be some starter sets available for all of you attending GENCON, but they will be limited. Here are some pictures of what you will get and how the models look.


 
 
The Kickstarter cost is 80$ but the retail is 90$ I think, of course you can find that discounted on sites like miniature market and other online stores. So there it is, it looks promising and I know I am going to get a set when it comes out. Once it hits the shelves we will dedicate an article to opening the box and checking it out.

Work in Progress DUST Hammers, Grim Reapers and Big Boss Command Squad plus Rhino

Well here are some works in progress.. By no means are they done and I am not a great painter but I was really looking for tabletop ready and not time consuming.




 
 
 
So her are some basecoats done and some primer work. I used Vallejo paints and some Flames of War GErman armor spray paint. I know they are allies and I used German armor but I liked the look of it. The bases were sprayed British Desert tan and they will have sand and tufts added later.
 
 



 
 
 
I used Army Painter's Quickshade and I always love how easy it is to use. I am still in the process of applying the matte to seal it and take away the shine. But these guys are pretty much the core of my 100 and 150 point force for the new DUST tactics rules.
 
 
This is just the start and we will keep posting updates. The first week of August will pit the Allies, SSU and Axis fighting against one another with the new rules which we will be able to review.
