Nice vehicles, they both have a very WWII feel to them.
These look great, very “Weird War II” - I’m pleased the main gun on the American walker isn’t too large - the recoil on a 75mm would tip it over backwards!
Any idea when we are going to see this stuff for sale? Is it going to be hard to get and expensive like all the other Dust stuff or is it going to be readily available like AT43?
Web site doesn’t say much and has next to no interaction with any of the messages left by others.

FFG is distributing it so I expect that the price point will be similar to AT-43 and as available.
It’s pre-painted Gear Krieg, I hope its going to use a good system.
It will use the AT-43 system. Your opinion will determine if that is a good system or not :-)
I am overwhelmed by all this fabulous Weird War stuff coming out recenty. I think the American walker would fit nicely into AE-WWII. I only just started looking at this genre a couple of days ago and already I am inundated by the volume of it all - here, take my wallet guys, it’ll save time.
You will start to see this stuff in December.
I REALLY wish someone would make models like these in 1:285/6mm. :(
Fantastic.
I look forward to these minis, as for the rules they may come with, I’ll be using something else to enjoy them with ;)
I suggest AE-WW2 to use with them. Very easy to learn rules system with lots of strategy.
Very sweet. They really managed to keep the WW2 look & feel. I’ll be buying the walkers, have ti wait & see for the infantry but I have high expectations there as well.
I have seen them in person and they look great. They will fit very well with 28mm miniatures.
I’ve been waiting for a closer look at this game for a while now. Is FFG taking over the world?
FFG doesnt want to take over the world - just take money from the world (less overhead costs that way :P)
Don’t forget. Dust already have the model for the Russian KV-47. That makes at least a total of 3 so far. I hope that they will eventually put out the Japanese army and mos important of all, MORE COMICS!!!

I really hope that the striders have interchangable weapons.
They could sell a lot of these vehicles if they came with multiple weapon choices unlike AT-43 vehicles. I really hate that about AT-43.
awesome, this is the kind of design i like!
Compared to Westwind’s SOTR vehicles, these are much more WW2 in feel.
How big are these guys — relatively the same as the AT-43 stuff? I never got into AT-43 but this stuff is exciting!
I think that it may be slightly larger than the AT-43 figures.
So far these are far better at capturing the feel of WWII than anything out there. Paolo knows how to keep the tank feel and not cross over to Mech.
I love these so much, I just wish they were coming with a dedicated ruleset.
You mean the AT-43 ruleset isnt dedicated enough?
Sorry, let’s say “a unique ruleset” instead. I enjoy(ed) AT-43 for what it is, but I’m not interested in playing another game that is so simplistic. “Compatible” doesn’t mean that the rules will be exactly the same, though, so maybe there will be enough variation to make it interesting.
