Extreme Close Ups For Dropzone Commander’s Resistance
August 7, 2014 by stvitusdancern
Hold on to your minis, because here comes a close up look at the new Dropzone Commander Resistance! Hawk Wargames touts that the Resistance is a very diverse faction, and I think that is very evident in the cool, very different choices in the vehicles.
Where else could you find renegade battle ready buses, or edgy sci-fi flyers, or fully loaded heavy weaponized trucks or last but not least, tanks- Big, Mean and Nasty tanks? Right here. Plain and simple.
I, for one, would love to take someone to school on those buses!
Which vehicle of destruction would you want to charge into battle with?

Love the tanks but is it me or are the gunners slightly off, scale wise
It is either the gunners or the vehicles, but no, it’s not you…
Fantastic… yes quite.
We’re going beyond the thunder dome.
Figures do look a little large but that is not a ‘huge’ problem (get it? huge?)
The cockpit painting on the gunship is stunning.
That flyer is brilliant. Love it.
The gunners look like giants! Those proportions are pretty bad. I wonder why they came to be so large compared to the vehicles considering the excellent craftsmanship Dave has put to work on all the other very good looking minis.
Nice vehicles and a good price, though I still dont understand why the infantry from Hawk is always so expensive
Love the vehicles. The top shot looks like a Missouri militia group lol. And the flyer… wow. Compare that to the Space Viking box car GW just put out, and tell me they haven’t been left behind.
The infantry does look too large, comparatively. Is this a problem in other factions as well?
Aw man I am buying a ton of these. And a ton of rust pigment.
It’s not just the gunners, but the guns as well. It’s always a problem with 6-10mm scale if its to be resilient enough to game with and distinctive enough to paint. FoW has similar issues and that’s 50% bigger again at 15mm.
It looks particularly skewed with the technicals I think due to their diminutive size, but it’s not enough to bother me. The range overall for the Resistance is just drop-dead gorgeous in my opinion and the paint effects are really showing them at their best.
Love the tanks.
Yeah, I got instant disappointment with my Wolverines from UCM because here I was thinking that they would be in 10mm and be nice and huge with my Mechwarrior DarkAge minis, and in fact the vehicles in DzCmdr are more around 6-10mm. The infantry are 10mm… I was so excited to get my UCM Wolverines in a game of my own design. They’re still all cool and don’t let my nitpicking deter getting into DzCmdr!
The scale of the people is due to the scale of the game, It would be impossible to have any real detail on them without increasing their size a bit.
Don’t look at it as a mistake, it is a happy medium between being able to see what you are looking at and just having a small dot on the back of a truck
They look stunning!
