Dropfleet Commander Boot Camp – Friday
And We're Done! Pub O'Clock Ready For Tomorrow
...and that's us done for today. We're going to be heading to the pub and getting stuck into some awesome high jinks ahead of tomorrows activities.
As always don't forget to Comment on all of the videos from this weekends Boot Camp in order to be in with a chance of winning some epic goodies to get you started in the game of Dropfleet.






























Cheers for the blogging guys.
That brown and green UCM fleet looks amazing!
Yes! It seems like an odd connection, but they remind of Starcraft Broodwar, playing Terrans on a winter map using the dark green color scheme! I’m sold!
Like the building & painting party 🙂
Wish we would have a active Dropfleetcomaner community in switzerland. Looks like we have to start one 😉
Good night folks.
Meantime at Resistance HQ, hackers have infiltrated NachtWolfOn-5’s command and control systems 🙂
Damn . I’d kill to be part of this!
you and me both buddy
Yup. Sucks being broke in the US
Me to. But you do not even need to be so far away to don’t get there…
Those are some nice looking Shaltari ships. The blue really does suit them. I also like the UCM paint job. After battleship gray, which I’m sure is quite common among players, a good military green suits them.
This looks really cool. Wish I was there^^
Tomorrow is gonna be so busy. I wanna see someone crash into one of the moons.
That Shaltari fleet looks really nice. Once I get DZC ground troops for them I may have to go blue.
Great job with vlogging today. Wish I could have come to this boot camp. Are camps ever so successful you hold another one for same system after launch?
Loving the holographic shaltari, great ideas all round as well. Giving me lots of inspiration for my own fleet(s), wish I’d managed to get in on this boot camp!
So jealous, wish I could be there even if just to learn from Dave how to play. Great job guys, looking forward to tomorrow’s updates. Have fun at the pub!!
but Shaltari are the bad guys an PHR are the heroes
Booooooo, should be loads of Scourge 😀
but they’re the bad guys no one wants to be the bad guys
WHAT?! No Resistance?!?! (Kidding, kidding)
1: Hnng, Battleship
2: Pub O’Clock at 10.45? What time do the pubs close up north?
O My wish I’d dropped into this !
One of the many reasons I need to goto one of these bootcamps the PUB
I like the holographic shaltari and i think to be fully painted they just need the core in a different color and some ridges maybe in silver!^^
i love boot camp
Love boot camps, should do one for blood bowl when it gets into full swing!
Seems to be a lot of past boot camper returning. I’m feeling a bit jealous to be on the other side of the pond right now.
I can’t wait to get a better look at that holo Shaltari for I want to something similar for my ground assents.
@lordbob spare a thought for us who live in the wrong hemisphere!
Justin’s not required to blog through the night as he paints his PHR?
Rob, like your deep sea theme idea for his Scourge Fleet. Guess when it comes down to it the “Natural look” is in.
Suppose in a way they could look like flying squids. Yes they do look like flying Squid and when up close they can grab on hold tight and do nasty things to other ships.
…..Have a nice R&R….
I like the icy blues of the sonic the hedgehog fleet. Looks great. It seems like everyone is having a grand time. So jealous. Have some fun for all of us that can’t be there so we can live vicariously through all of you.
Thanks for the coverage. Looks like it was a busy day! (OF FUN)… BTW, why are these called “Boot Camp”? Curious as to the explanation.
Because they are bootcamps!
If you go there you get to learn the basics.
Do we know how many points of ships they had to build?
Rasmus:Lost in new york? Wasnt that a film?
Picked up a Scourge box for Christmas, Thanks BoW.
Scourge are maligned, that’s why we’re malignant!
Ah man, now I’ve got a painting itch. The ships look amazing, everyone is doing a great job there, very inspiring. Looking forward to seeing some games played.
A Chance for an incredible Fleet is upon me! i bet every1 i will win! 😀
This is why beastofwar is at the center of my gaming world, always the latest news and tactics but it’s by gamers for gamers. Wish I had been able to at least try to attend this weekend. Don’t know how they pick people to attend I would of come all the way from the Midwest Ohio valley.
Hope you didnt all go to crazy in the pub, flynn im looking at you here !! Have a great day tomorrow guys
What a great hobby weekend!
Nothing says great battles like a bunch of Admirals with hangovers…..lol.
These drop ships are going to be amazing
The best thing about having kids who get up at 4am is that you get to watch the late BoW vids all over again
Should be more scourge
that was a pretty neat idea to basically do some solid base coating and use that, can’t wait to see everyone’s forces on the table.
Looking good.
Solid start to the bootcamp I have to say. Look forward to catching up on the Saturday after work, then following min by min on the Sunday
Looks great, am slowing trying to get more people in my area playing.
A great series I would love to see more of them.
It’s looking great fun! And such a high standard of painting too! After a long day, and all the travelling I can’t think how bad my painting would look!
Spaceships and beers, this is the way life is meant to be lived.
I will have to get to a bootcamp one of these days!!!
My Comment below hahahaha
Really enjoying these, interested to see how rest of the weekend goes.
Love that Shaltari fleet.
great job. looking forward to what’s coming.
Great start to the weekend!
Those ships all look brilliant, very impressed with the models so far. I have been itching to get a 2 player box for this. Dont suppose anyone knows of a store in NZ or AU that has stock? I have not been able to find a shop with a delivery date earlier then February.
Some familiar faces from the DZC boot camp I see
Those ships look great.
Well have the evil man flu hopefully watching the boot camp will get me through….
Battleships, mmmmmm……..
I’d love to get some more enthusiastic gamers round here and have some geeking in the pub with them. I’m just lucky to have at least one of my friends who I can convince to play anything mini related
Things are looking great there. As you guys call it a night I think I will break out the rule book and get ready to follow along tomorrow. Thanks for all the hard work guys. It was fun !
What’s up with people not picking up Scourge?
If you’ve paid attention to the DzC fluff, they’re not the true evil…
You are so right.
All’s looking awesome, having just mainlined the Friday content this morning, now to watch the drip feeding of Saturday whilst I work on my Scourge for both Dropzone and Dropfleet from home. One might say a boot camp of one, almost.
nice to see some colour on the minis
I’m gonna have to get in on one of these boot camps.They look like an absolute blast.
All I want is the PHR fleet, the starter set is wishlisted for xmas but really love the look of the PHR.
Those Shaltari look really good! Great work for such a short time!
Real shame I couldn’t come and join in the fun.
Would love to be there, really hyped for this game again now 😀
Pub, Pub, Pub, Bed, Bed, Bed, Game, Game, Game…
Bring on some games!!!
Looks like everyone is having lots of fun. No idea how they are getting everything built and painted in just a day
So many different colour schemes being used on the bootcamp, although blue does seem to be loved. For me I would probably go with a dark red and black colour scheme for PHR and then a vibrant orange for the Shaltari which would be my other force.
Should put a count down clock on the wall, telling everyone when they need to be done on the day… put some pressure on that painting!
great Friday, now on to Saturday 🙂
I would be lucky to have a fleet box complete by this point… I am a SLOW builder and an even slower painter
Looking good! Looking forward to seeing some gaming tomorrow morning!
looking good.
really nice look to the ships! it is a shame they can’t get more painting done! more importantly To The Pub!
Ohhh the blog posts I could do with that. . .
Lack of Scourge is a strange one, though I can’t fault anyone for choosing the others. Some fine quick painting going on, too.
looking good everyone.
I love that blue for the shaltari.
Why am I not there, bad Bob , bad Bob
Those fleets look lovely.
I like how the shaltari are turning out
1 hour later and I am all caught up on Fridays action. Now on to Saturday 🙂
Hope your all having as much fun guys as I am with this amazing game.
Great day but tomorrow is better.
Thanks to All BEASTies, HAWKers , and atendees. on the great start to an awesome Weekend.
Thank you for your time and effort, there is so much content to chew through each day keep up the work as we all appriciate the effort!
Thanks all, all the content is really helpful. I’m going to be making a scourge fleet but I’m hoping to get 1 of each at some point.
Very nice
I want these ships to be in stellaris
nice bright blue shaltari
where are the pub pictures? 😉
Has Justin really turned yellow and swapped sides to the scourge, shoot the traitor.
Nice colour schemes there
happy camping!…. oh wait
The shading on those minis are impressive!
looks great, I’ll have to get the money together one of these days so I can go on one of the boot camps
Great start to the weekend, those Shaltari are coming along nicely.
Ah Friday night at the Bridge will live long in the memory!
not too long I hope, things were seen, and heard that should not be remembered
Nice round up for the first day
A shame there are not so many Scourge players around. The ships and the ground troups (Dropzone Commander) are so beautiful.
Especially if they turn into shining bubbles of fire far far away from your own troops. 🙂
i need some of those prizes to lure a mate on the game, haha!
Watching the boot camp videos does make me want to get into the game. Surely a baby can’t be that much work?
It still blow me away how much you guys get from the games people.
I wish there were some building and painting parties around here. I don’t really know enough people to start one myself.
someone should put a live feed from the Pub since Warzan talked about that place a lot 🙂
I never seem to win anything, so I wish the rest of you good luck with the contest.
