Dust Game KV47-B Natasha Mecha

Image Credit : Dust Game
This model comes from an alternate WW2 boardgame "Dust". The game is based on WW2, with alternate reality combining science fiction, supernatural and mecha.  The model is scaled in 1/48.

The KV47 Walker is a versatile new walker for Dust Tactics! While the SSU once lagged in walker technology, they have since developed the KV47, a walker platform capable of trading blows with any opposing armor. This impressive machine can be fielded in three different variants: the Nadya, Natasha, or Natalya. 
Whether you want to field the Nadya with its Sulfur Throwers, the Natasha and its 45mm Howitzers, or the Natalya featuring twin Circular Saws, there is a KV47 for any situation. Take command of this devastating SSU walker!

There are a lot of mecha involved, especially as infantry units.

For those of you interested in a little more info on the good ol’ 47, check out the images below. These are pretty old and much like the Axis Luther some names have changed. (Originally the KV 47 B “Natasha” was known as a “Koshka" named for the hero Koshka.)

The KV 47 is part of a family of six medium walkers. Note, that SSU refers to the Soviet Union / Russia.

The KV-47 variants give the SSU six medium walkers with remarkably different roles. From close-combat only to artillery, all the walkers can perform their tasks admirably with a caveat or two. 
Don’t expect range from these ladies. Four of the six variants have 16″ or less range. The other two have 24″ range and artillery. I have discussed Nikita and her awesomeness before so that won’t come as a shock to anyone paying attention. Natasha brings a 24″ Howitzer on the field, but for the most part KV-47 variants get up close and personal.

A very interesting take on alternate reality of WW2. Definitely good to take this up, once in a while.
