Initally I was not going to buy into this game due to what I conceived were high costs for the resin miniatures so I waited. I am glad i did as they have now released the new 1.1 rules book and a cracking card terrain set which includes ground tiles and buildings (pretty much an essential for the game)
As well as this Hawk Wargames who produce Dropzone are releasing a brand new plastic starter set at the end of this month which will include 2 complete starter armies. See here for my post/review of the set.
So onto the main point of this post. I am starting a Post Republic force, these guys will usually always be outnumbered, but considering they are bad arse Cyborgs with mech walkers (albeit slower than most) they are still more than a match for the other factions.I began with a PHR starter box and have added 2 x Triton dropships, 4 x Janus Scout walkers, Athena Strike Fighter, 2 x Odin Type 2 walkers, 2 x Zeus command walkers and an extra Neptune Dropship.
Everything has been fully magnetised for cool factor. This is not really necessary but being able to plonk a Dropship on the table with the tanks and walkers actually attached is awesome.

I know what you mean about expanding projects list. I am trying to limit myself. The problem for me is that no one in the club has dropship commander so I would have to buy two armies in order to try it out. So for now it's a no but I may well change my mind once I see yours up and running!
ReplyDelete2 armies are included in the starter set, less than £60 and there you go ;-)
DeleteI'm resisting this one as I can cross use stuff between my other projects. I shall enjoy watching you paint and build yours tho!
ReplyDeleteYeh and your resistance is about the same as mine Simon hehe
DeleteThe quality is great but I'm knee deep in 15mm but.........
ReplyDeleteBut....as i said to Clint, starter set with two 500 point armies with terrain and rulebook for less than £60, worth a punt ;-)
