Dust – Ranger Attack Squad

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!

Attention!
Easy! Fast! Decent!
That is THE way to paint Dust-figures! Got it?!
