Zombies raced forward in waves, battering through the reinforced hulls of combat walkers before they roasted in gouts of flame. Laser weapons coursed through the air so that the streets of Zverograd smelled like burnt ozone. Amid the chaos of battle, while Allied light walkers darted between the explosions from Axis artillery, the legendary SSU tactician, Yakov, surveyed the battle, trying to pinpoint the exact right time and place to strike…

The furious battles of Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare are coming to the FFG World Championship Weekend ! This is no time to stand back from the action. This is no time for cowardice. This is your chance to blitz your enemies, win the war, and claim the title of World Champion, and we intend to encourage acts of valor and heroism with plenty of spoils!

You likely know that the winners of both the Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare World Championship Tournaments earn the right to work with Paolo Parente and the developers to design a custom miniature for the game. However, we will also be throwing in a large number of other, exclusive prizes, including participation prizes for all involved.

Earn Your Stripes

The Dust Tactics World Championship Tournament takes place on Friday, November 9th, with the Dust Warfare World Championship to follow on Saturday, November 10th. Not only does this mean that players can use their same Dust Tactics miniatures to participate in both events, but it means those generals who attend have twice as many chances to design a custom miniature or win a pre-painted set of four heroes: Action Jackson , The Priest , Grenadier X , and TotenMeister !

Still, you don’t need to blast your way to the final table to win a shot at great prizes. Every single participant in the Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare World Championship Tournaments will walk away with a rare, alternate Red Yana miniature, featuring a hat instead of a helmet, as well as a stylish patch tailored to the game.

Dust Tactics is a tactical miniatures game of brutal combat for 2-4 players. Based on the popular universe created by artist Paolo Parente, Dust Tactics presents an alternate 1940s reality in which alien technology fuels gigantic machines of war, and the world's superpowers clash over rare mineral deposits that could ultimately decide the outcome of WWII.
