 I suddenly feel inadequate. I haven't seen that much Dust minis even if you add up all the boxes at the three local stores that try selling it. 

I play as Axis and the Allies. I'm my own worst enemy.

I used the terrain tiles that I received with the game.  I never use them to play and they are the perfect size and thickness.  I just bought some tree's glued them to the tile and then I bought a box of snow terrain at the Hobby store.  It has everything you need to make a snow terrain including a foam brush to put the mixture on the base.

It's all about the Dust

Thanks!  Makes total sense, just wasn't sure if maybe you had bought some thin type of board/foam and cut it yourself.

With the Emperors permission this is a board I built using Forge World components and then casting them to make this large set up-4'w x 6'l. I bulit the two big bunkers in the back of the board out of 1/4" thick sintra. Some of the tire walls were bought and cast as well. The minis in picks are AT-43 and some others so excuse my use of none Dust minis. The game was not out at the time this board was bulit. It was built for 40k and AT-43 use.

 That table is fantastic. Bring it to Arizona so we can play on it.

 In 40k I'd just shoot my hellhounds at your trenches. Nothing that devastating in DT yet.

If I lived in Arizona you would be welcome to play on it. Right now i'm in NJ though so it would be a long trip. Thanks for compliments though.

Wow, very nice table setup!

I can just image your table with walkers charging down the battlefield. You should try a string or chalk grid and use it for Dust Tactics. Or just wait for Warfare to come out.

 I would wait for Warfare. It's a perfect tabletop for trench battles. 

On that note, do you have an urban table too?

Yes I have a huge urban board but no photos so my appologies. Its made of several pegasus brand churches and a lot of GW buildings plus some scratch built stuff from gator board and a few other companies whos names escape me at this time.. There are also a lot of street obstacles to go with it. If I get it out soon Ill post pics. The base is just a big sheet of gator board painted black and dusted with different grays. All the structures are on a base that looks like a sidewalk so its totally changeable every time. It played great for AT43 so im sure it would be great with dust as well.

Thanks for the compliments. I wish I lived somewhere that had local players though.

Our game yesterday - 4 players, 300 points each, 600 points per side. Allies storming Siegfried`s Line :) We play in a gaming-friendly pub. Lots of beers, lots of cigarettes. Lots of lead and lots of blood. Whole lot of fun :)

BTW - Allies won :)
