After
a game of Dust 1947 at Gothcon during
Easter I was really hooked on the new version. I bought the new rule-book and
also new cards for Axis and Allies (SSU was sold out).
I
already got quite a lot of Axis forces painted, so it is time to paint up some
Allies.
First
up is the Ranger Attack Squad. Close Combat specialists with 2 flamethrowers
and 3 shotguns.
I’ve
tried out some different colours on these, to get a suitable colour scheme to
use for all allied troops. I need some more tests to get everything right. Right
in this case is to get troops to look different from the SSU and also, and very
importantly, to make them easy to paint. Essentially basecoats and washes and
certainly no camouflage (it might be pretty but takes far too much time to finish).
Easy, fast and looking decent – that’s my Dust-motto!
