Very nice 30mm Axis Recon Grenadier figures from Alderac Entertainment/Dust Studios:
link The mysterious part is that there seems to be zero news on this at Alderac's site, and I cannot even find a site for Dust Studio. As a plea- anyone in Europe who knows anyone in the gaming or miniatures industry, please tell them to post on TMP! |

Dust is carried in the US through Fantasy Flight Games, who are notorious for slow releases. Current 'joke' is take the published release date and add 2d12+6 months for actual release date. Waitaminnit… "Dust Tactics board-game"? Thought it was going to be a tabletop minis game like Anima Tactics?!? |

No. This is the long awaited Dust Tactics game that FFG was showing off a few years back. 30mm figs, semi-pre-painted. |

Fantasy Flight lost the game and now AEG has it. link Looks like it may be pretty cool. I hope they release some preview of the rules at some point. |

The Grenadiers look kind of cool, as do the mecha, but the rest of the figures leave a bit to be desired (going off the BGG site). |

Here is a link to Paolo's site, no mention of it here either, though there are some nice things to look at. dustgame.com/index.php |

Indeed the Dust miniature game property has changed hands to Alderac Entertainment Group, and the plans to run this on Rackham Entertainment's AT-43 engine (essentially) have reputedly also been shelved. It's touted as a "board game" now but it might be AEG's way of saying "tabletop game" (cf. Rackham's use of "collectible" in conjuction with Confrontation minis). |

I think they went to Pre-Primed as opposed to Pre-Painted to save some production cost and avoid the expected harsh criticism of poor paint quality. Based on some of the pre-paint samples there were available last year I'd say this might be a smart idea. Hopefully they pass the cost onto the customer. |

Providing the price is alright, I know what I'll be getting this summer. |

Hope these are out by GenCon. |
