Dropzone Commander 2-Player Starter Box

It is 2680, and war rages on a galactic scale. After almost a decade on the offensive against the vile alien Scourge, the United Colonies of Mankind are battle-scarred but unbroken. Its Reconquest, a grand endeavour to reclaim its heartlands and Earth itself, hangs in the balance. A mighty new generation of utilitarian warships and vengeful soldiers rush to the frontlines, but the UCM’s alliances with other human factions are crumbling, the parasites are fighting back viciously, and a previously unknown threat has emerged.

The Bioficers—ancient, corrupted artificial intelligences—have observed mankind’s aptitude for cataclysmic violence, and it pleases them. Biology is their clay. They can vaporise it, ingest it, and shape it. Their bio-drones are woven in minutes and might be any shape that nightmares can conjure. Their ships are uniquely advanced, focused, and utterly lethal. They have no grand strategy and no goal besides revelling in war and the slow suffering of capable prey. They are a factor apart and may be the greatest threat sentient life has ever faced.

Dropzone Commander is a game of mass battle combat in the far future. Speed is key in these warzones, with forces using dropships to quickly redeploy tanks, infantry, and colossal war machines.

Seizing ground and objectives wins games, but a fierce tactical acumen is needed to act and react to your opponents’ moves. Predicting the flow of battle and positioning all manner of advanced vehicles and creatures is key to victory, to make sure that the Dropzone is yours.

Resistance Starter Army

Since the Reconquest began, the Resistance has changed radically. Initially ragtag survivors stranded on the Scourge-occupied Cradle Worlds and Earth, the definition now encompasses all groups utilising pre-war technology, including the rogue Colony of Kalium.

Resistance armies are diverse, ragtag, low-tech and experienced. They often employ home-brewed, ex-civilian vehicles. Most lack active countermeasures entirely. However, survivors from mankind’s pre-Scourge arsenal are precious relics of a bygone age where budgets were loose, and over-engineering prevailed. These lumbering machines are resilient survivors, just like their grizzled crews.

This box contains a perfect small Resistance army. The miniatures in this set have been designed for ease of assembly, so have fewer pieces than their equivalent in separate kits.

This set includes:

• Hydra Command Hovercraft
• Flame Wagon x3
• Kraken Hovercraft x2
• Thunder Wagon x3
• Gun Leviathan Heavy Hovercraft
• Gun Technical x6
• Battle Bus
• Hannibal Main Battle Tank x2
• Attila A x2
• Lifthawk Dropship
• Lifthawk Troopship
• Berserkers x6
• Resistance Fighters x6
• Mech Loaders x6

Scourge Starter Army

The Scourge are foul microparasites which thrive on the conquest, usurpation, and absorption of other races. They are the Galaxy’s ultimate predators. Their breathtaking assimilation of the central planets, Earth included, made them the primary threat to mankind. Though they defended viciously against the UCM’s Reconquest, attack is their forte. Their counteroffensive on the Colonies slaughtered a billion. 

Scourge armies employ a plethora of fiendish, organic-looking war machines focused on speed, stealth, aggression, and close-range firepower. Swift grav-tans, skittering walkers, and larger outlandish constructs are dreaded. These vehicles are melded with pure Scourge into a permanent communion of jellied flesh and armoured plate, causing heightened, resentful viciousness. Immolation by their plasma weaponry is preferable to being taken alive. 

This box contains a perfect small Scourge army. The miniatures in this set have been designed for ease of assembly, so have fewer pieces than their equivalent in separate kits.

This set includes:

• Marauder Dropship x6
• Hunter Tank x6

PHR Starter Army

Following the White Sphere, a fraction of humanity escaped before the Scourge invasion. One and a half centuries later, they emerged changed – they are post-humans, a nation of enhanced elites. With remarkable speed, the PHR made advancements, regarding The Sphere with reverence. 

The population of the PHR is likely less than one-sixth of the UCM’s, so its army marries toughness and lethality with matchless training and equipment. Advanced walkers form the core of its armoured fist, supported by jetskimmers, aircraft and, combat nanomachines. For infantry, the baseline is the armoured Immortal. The special forces, the Siren Corps, are lethal combatants. 

This box contains a perfect small Post Human Republic army. The miniatures in this set have been designed for ease of assembly, so have fewer pieces than their equivalent in separate kits.

This set includes:

• Ares x 4
• Phobos x 4
• Juno x4

• Thor Artillery Tank x2
• Luna Gunship x1

Shaltari Starter Army

The Shaltari are a scarce, ultra-developed species. They have traversed the stars for millennia and fought countless wars. Through peerless technology, they transcend even death. 

Shaltari armies deploy via a hierarchical system of interconnecting teleporters ending in a ropship-sized Gate. Troops are only present on the surface or aboard an orbiting mothership, and can be instantly transferred within this system, counterbalancing their inferior numbers and removing risk in transit. 

This box contains a perfect small Shaltari army. The miniatures in this set have been designed for ease of assembly, so have fewer pieces than their equivalent in separate kits.

This set includes:

• Eden Dropship x6
