Alien Dropships for Dropzone Commander
May 30, 2012 by brennon
Some more previews (and we know you love them!) for Dropzone Commander by Hawk Wargames. Check out the Dropships for The Scourge and Shaltari Tribes below...
Some more delicate looking yet amazing models for the Shaltari while The Scourge continue to look their evil and 'buggy' best. The effect of living ships is certainly being pulled off, but we will have to wait for the background and fluff before we know the true methods of all these factions.
Still waiting with baited breath for Dropzone Commander?

More great stuff – the Shaltari ship’s fins being swept back give the impression of speed like the flights on an arrow and the Scourge ship has a large rear almost like a bug with no legs. Everything has areas of special visual interest, but the more mundane bits are polished too – even the ‘carrying box’ under the Scourge ship has features to tie it in to the overall effect.
who likes doing the negative thing?? at least explain why
Don’t worry. I gave him thumbs up to remove that negative that some one gave him and who ever gave him that negative can’t do it twice.
I personally am starting to get a bit vexed by people that thumb down for no real reason other than they can. Most of @thc303 comments are constructive or at the very least unbiased view of what he thinks of the model. Even constructive criticism that is honest is a help to sculptors.
So to whoever is doing the thumbs down feel free to debate your view with the person but just don’t do it just because. It makes you into the jerk and nobody on this site wishes that.
Those Spirit Light Gates look like some kind of emblem. Design of Intruder looks far better in my opinion.
I prefer the human faction ships but these do have a very strong visual design to them and it is just a personal preference for me.
I was super excited for this, but my enthusiasm is dampened a bit after a month with no rules. I can’t be sustained on models alone. They are beautiful though.
I think I’d paint the Scourge in chitinous colours and utilitarian greens of the Combine bio-machines from Half Life.
I have a feeling that Shaltari “drop ship” won’t in fact carry anything, but rather “gate” the stuff onto the battlefield. Might be very cool if it will be reflected in the rules – i.e. no damage to the tanks being “carried” if the dropship is destroyed or even teleportatio tricks, where tanks and troops could “jump” between two dropships, placed apart on the battlefield.
