Construct Your Own Fallschirm Or Fly Into The Fighting In DUST
September 26, 2016 by brennon
The DUST team have a number of new options open to you for those looking to expand their German army. First up we're looking at the Fallschirm which is available both Unassembled and Assembled.
There are a number of weapon options open to you when you get the Fallschirm as you can pick from three guns. The option you see here comes with the big anti-tank gun, the PAK 40.
If you're looking for ways to tailor your Fallschirm to fit the armies you face then the Model Kit might be a good shout.
You have the chance to switch out the turret and add in either a flak option or even a laser. This kit will need to be put together of course, and while it will need painting it does come with the transfers you need to make it look the part.
Take To The Skies
Leaping in from above to cause havoc we also have some German Troops in the form of the Raketentruppe Battle Squad.
Shown with their Babylon Pattern uniforms they are going to be leaping into the fray and using their heavy weapons to deal with both infantry and armour equally well.
Big machine guns will be making mincemeat of enemy soldiers and the Panzerfaust can be used to deal with heavily armoured foes. Being able to leap around also means they can strike from cover quite effectively and be gone soon after.
What do you make of the latest releases?

Cool, but I can see they have reused the base from the SSU artillery gun. Guess it’s a good way to keep the tool cost down.
See pic:
yup the track’s the same.
It’s good to see that despite their ideological, cultural and geographic differences as well as years of war, the Germans and Russians get their road wheels from the same place.
I kinda like it, but have promised myself to work on the pile of unpainted nd make substantial ground back, before adding to it again.
I really like the paintscheme of the Raketentruppe Battle Squad..!
I’m gonna have to try this on some K47 BA Fallschirmjägers 😎
this looks great love the AA gun turret.
first off: “Fallschirm” makes no sense as a name as it simply means parachute in german. The vehicle itself is supposed to be a “Raupenschlepper Ost” whicht roughly translates into “tracked-tug-vehicle east”as in eastern front, its made for mud rather than sand. second: isn’t the pak 40 very underpowered in dust, i mean the three man german heavy squad just carries one around on their shoulders, and it never had great stats to beginn with as dust went a bit nuts on the gun calibers. (*cough* 17,3cm literal naval gun*cough*) Yes BF fixed that to a more believeable level but… Read more »
I wonder how much better this would do if they weren’t fighting an uphill battle for good will at the same time. Talk about two difficult fronts.
Well, if i would still be interested in playing dust for a long time – i’d be even more concerned. I mean no real new releases or even concept art for two years? The setting quite literally stuck in the desert without any indication when new things will come.With factions like Japanese and Vrill promised years ago but nothing even on the horizon, just more prepainted “elite” varieties of the same stuff. Talking about the model quality which really suffered – not the concept art – the actual miniatures. And why does the material the ks stuff is made of… Read more »
Those are very nice.
Nice minis ! I especially like the camo !
It’s a good thing that DS is getting new stuffs on the market now that KS issues are going to be over soon ! 🙂
