I feel they tend to be more effective in Dust Warfare than Dust Tactics, but that could be because i play warfare more, mind you Its surprising how often you end up needing that rocket punch, especially on terrain heavy boards.

@redshane yeah they are in a larger scale than 40k. compared to a marine in power armour the bog standard infantry man is probably a good 3-4mm (est) taller and the red devils a good 8-10mm (est). dont play 40k anymore so i didnt have a termy handy to compare

The game itself is very good too, with a few mechanics “adapted” from other games, and i would highly reccomend trying the game if you get the chance (for the games sake rather than the hobby side, although i have… Read more »
