Light Up The Skies in DUST 1947
August 31, 2016 by lancorz
New Units from Axis in service with the Liftwaffe Ground Forces from Paolo Parente's Dust.
FALLSCHIRMJÄGER TANK-HUNTER SQUAD
Death from the skies over Babylon! The Fallschirmjäger Tank-Hunter Squad deals with any armored target the Luftwaffe ground forces might encounter. Thanks to their Bazooka and Panzerfaust, they can engage any walker or tank and blow it to pieces in seconds. The squad is presented here in Babylon camouflage pattern, as used in the Middle-East circa 1947.
FALLSCHIRMJÄGER ANTI-AIRCRAFT SQUAD
Death from the skies over Babylon! The Fallschirmjäger Anti-Aircraft Squad deals with any flying target the Luftwaffe ground forces might encounter. Thanks to their Fliegerfaust (Rocket Launchers), they can engage any aircraft and blow it to pieces in seconds. The squad is presented here in Babylon camouflage pattern, as used in the Middle-East circa 1947.
FALLSCHIRM RSO / FLAK 3
The Raupenschlepper Ost mit FlaK 3 is a dedicated anti-aircraft vehicle in service with the Luftwaffe ground forces. Thanks to its weight, it can be parachuted along with the airborne troops, offering them a much needed fire support during the first phase of an operation. It is presented here in Babylon camouflage pattern, as used in the Middle-East circa 1947.
FALLSCHIRM RSO LASERKANONE
The Raupenschlepper Ost mit Laserkanone is a dedicated antitank vehicle in service with the Luftwaffe ground forces. Thanks to its weight, it can be parachuted along with the airborne troops, offering them a much needed fire support during the first phase of an operation. It is presented here in Babylon camouflage pattern, as used in the Middle-East circa 1947.
Are you ready to shoot down some aircraft?

Those are very nice.
I’m really happy to see news from DS ! Great work, hope they will be release in winter camo too 🙂
No matter what you think of DS as a company, their WWW2 is second to none.
new releases are always a good thing. But if you can’t buy it if you don’t live in the US. I live in france and there is no following retailer.
Dreamfactor is selling Dust products if I remember right ! 🙂
I’ve bought a couple of 1/48 tanks in the meantime to scratch my itch. Really like these but I got to finish my SSU first!
There is a store in Poland (en.warfactory.pl) where you can buy Dust stuff!
Who sells this in the UK?

Questing Knight are great and the UK flagship for Dust 47. Best to check out their Facebook page or get in contact with them as a lot of their Dust stuff sells out before they have a chance to put it on their website (they have a lot of local players, around 40 last time I heard).
Dust stuff is available at my favorite German online store: https://www.fantasywelt.de/DUST-Tactics-Warfare
Some items have a delivery time of 2-4 weeks, but the crew behind the store is great and I fully trust them. Disadvantage: The online shop only supports German language and the delivery costs into EU are 13€ (AT cheaper, DE free for orders > 49€)
They really aren’t new, their hero rolf samt was even a part of the kickstarter oO? We haven’t seen anything really new for well over a year now.
Plus obligatory “by the way, where is my ks stuff?” Showing off things like the Königslothar as “new”for sale while i don’t have mine and i clearly ordered one with the ks two years ago does not increase my opinion of ds. (Again i do not care who is responsible for whatever bf or ds – both messed up, there are no winners only losers)
None of this was in the KS, all new.
fristly:

so even if they were not in the ks they still are not “new”, these were taken almost two years ago.
Second: how come i have the rolf samt hero miniature from the ks with the exact same weapon and style of uniform if this is all new?
third: funny how ds posts something “new” every week, now that k47 is out and getting praise overall…..
Yeah, I brought this up the other week saying that as a loyal customer I wanted something genuinely new but was told that because none of it was available commercially except through the KS, this is all of their “new” stuff. I think the rest of us have a wait on our hands before they bother with new sculpts.
the tanks look brilliant the troops are good to.
To be transparent I am a big DUST fan. However, when we talked with the guys from DUST Studio at Gen Con they are trying very hard to put the past behind them and look to the future for this game. They have made some big moves and are looking to re-energize the game and I think they are on their way to doing just that thing. I am hoping I do not have to fly all the way over to Ireland to get in a good game. However it was really a grand time with Lloyd and the others!
Honestly, I don’t see how it is possible to re-energize Dust at this point. Dust Studios has managed to effectively remove their stock from most (if not all) FLGS. They napalmed the Kickstarter bridge for any future project. And they jacked up the price more than twice what was MSRP in a world where most Dust players have become quite accustomed to only 25% or less of the asking cost. I am surprised Dust has enough of a hardcore audience at this point to even put out new stuff under those conditions. In short, they can’t really get veteran players… Read more »
If you see how they treated the Guy who did the German Translation for the New Rules (who only recieved paying in form of Dust Products), it is hard to believe that they have learned from the past and if they think this is the way to re-energize the game …. omg
The Guy was a staunch support of Dust over the past two Years and now quit completly and directly sold his old Stuff and the new stuff he received as paying.
Which btw. prompted more german Dust-Fans to quit.
I know right, as if the german dust-scene wasn’t dead enough allready. I haven’t even heard about a new dust player around here for more than two years. And the only big club i know has at least some active players is an 8 hour drive away. The last flgs in the region to even sell dust did a fire-sale early 2015.
Can you tell me more about that story ? Never heard a word of it …
google “dust battlefront dispute” and you’ll get a pretty good sampling of the issue.
I’m not speaking of the kickstarter issue (which is nearly over now) but about the german translation !
Who cares it didn’t happen so the game designers have the final say as to what goes. Not for me!,!!!.
