Hi all, looking to get some dust walkers, I'm after the Axis walker with 5cm cannon, now I'm a bit confused (not difficult!) do you get one model with 3 weapon options or does it come 'on its own' is it a Lothar, Ludwick or something else?
Any info would be great.

As far as I know when you buy one, it comes with all the combinations of weapons. |

Contrariwise, I do believe the new boxes come with just one weapon combination. In other words, if it says "X" on the tin then it's "X" and not "X and Y" as it was in the good ole FFG days. So it depends on if it's an old style box (with obsolete unit card) or the new style (with just one weapon loadout but a valid unit card). |

This was where I was getting confused, I saw some things on youtube showing a choice of three then I see them advertised as specific models, so, if I want the 5cm one I need to find its name and get that specific model I assume Mike |

Unless you can find older boxes, say, at an FLGS. |

So, is the 5cm model still available? |

Just to confirm in the current market you will find the Axis walker types sold seperately. The 5cm Flak gun comes on the Luther model (it includes a gun army and pincer arm). The other options are the Ludwig with Twin 88's and the Nebelwerfer Lothar. The range distributed by Battlefront can be seen at link Strangely I don't see the Luther listed on their site. They may be dropping it in favour of some of the newer models coming out for Operation Babylon. I really hope not. As has been mentioned FFG used to distribute the models and when they did it they included all the options for all the walker type. When Battlefront took over distribution it switched to one configuration per box. Everyone loved the old style except apparently Dust Studios and Battlefront. To make matters more confusing there may be a mix of what card comes in the box, but if you're just after the walker and not the game rules this isn't a problem. |

Hi Warrior, many thanks, this was the conclusion I was arriving at, old models yes all three options, newer ones and you had one choice. I don't want to purchase the Lothar (rocket version) and find it is JUST that, its the 5cm one I'm after but by the looks of it I think I'm going to br out of luck.
