Dystopian Legions Rules PDF + Previews


Spartan Games have posted the Quick Start Rules and Army Lists for Dystopian Legions >>HERE<<
A couple of days ago was a quick explanation of them as well that can be found >>HERE<< or I have reblogged it at the bottom of this post.

At first glance the DL QS Rules seem quite good. I will have to have a good read through them though before I can comment any more.

Spartan have also posted some model previews for KoB Sky Hussars, Captain Gilbert and Knights Templar and for the Prussians, Teutonic Knights and the massive Faust Walker (posted on Facebook by Ilnanonefasto Painting Studio).
WOOF!
That's a 28mm model by the foot!





My forces are decided now.
Although I play France in Dystopian Wars I'm going for the British and Prussians until they come out.
How can I say now to steam powered armour, rocket men and Captain Gilbert? (WOOF! Cookie if you get the ref)

Here is the reblog of Spartans Quick Start Rules look over -

What’s In The Dystopian Legions Quickplay Rulebook?
