AT-43
When Paolo Parente joined Rackham as a partner of the Company, he also brought one major asset to the table: Dust. A Weird World War 2 Dieselpunk universe for which he had already created a comic book and some action figures.
Rackham was looking for a less “fantasy” setting to compete with the leader, Warhammer 40,000, and a new competitor, Warmachine who were starting to make some noise (albeit Steampunk). Dust could fit the bill, but the Company wanted it detached from the WW2 context for obvious reasons, and (way) further down in the future.
In 2006, Rackham previewed AT-43 during two conventions in the US (Origins Game Fair and Gen Con) and 2 conventions in Europe (Monde du Jeu and Essen Spiel). In 2007, The 2 player Initiation set was released, with painted miniatures, scenarios to learn the rules and 2 factions: UNA and Therians.
From 2007 to 2010, Rackham (and the offspring past the Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Rackham Entertainment) released 6 armies:
- UNA.
- Red Blok.
- Therian.
- Karman.
- Cogs.
- ONI.
