Dust Land is a skirmish game that the author says is somewhat based on the music video “Slow In Reverse”:
Dust Land is a free miniature game made by myself with the help of a few friends. The game is roughly based on the music video “Slow in Reverse.” Except a lot of the ideas came from my own head. Even the planet is of my own idea. Kind of like an alternate Earth!
During the video I wanted to make my own game, and thought that an apocalyptic wild west game hadn’t been done before. So I started writing it and this is where it is now. 5 months later and still going strong!
The game’s plot is the church of the Dark Brotherhood, worshiped the underworld and converted 25% of the New Worlds population. Fenrul started the Dark Brotherhood but was killed by Joseph, the leader of the Order of Kings. Five years later, after the underworld and many followers of the Brotherhood figured out Fenrul’s secret to go through the underworld, and the New world, atttacked. Cities were destroyed and armies ripped apart on Judgement day. Small towns and settlements survived for the most part but the New World was changed drastically. Almost all of the moisture was stripped and the vegetation killed! The New World was in a dessert era. One that would never end. Water became a commodity, and the dependance on one another increased.
This is the game in a nut-shell. I hope you all enjoy, and more fluff and back story will arrive at later dates.

Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.
The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.
Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.
For pictures, visit the gallery.
Some of the bigger hobby companies are Games Workshop, which produces Warhammer, Wargames Foundry and Old Glory Miniatures. Wizards of the Coast produces several lines of pre-painted miniatures games, such as the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons miniatures games, and a historical game with pre-painted miniatures: The new Axis and Allies game. Wizkids produces a fantasy collectable miniatures game, such as the Mage Knight and Heroclick fantasy games, the science fiction games MechWarrior and Rocketmen, as well as the quasi-historical Pirates of the Spanish Main.
