Warlord Show Concord’s Plasma Power in Gates of Antares
October 16, 2014 by dracs
Warlord Games have published another preview for their upcoming scifi game Beyond the Gates of Antares. This time we get see some of the fire support the military of Concord are bringing with them.
Plasma weaponry are reportedly the most powerful hand weapons available to the Concord military, while their Plasma Canon provides them greatly increased range and power, enough to take down most things the enemy is likely to throw at you.
Of course, the Plasma Canon probably isn't that mobile, but that's OK as Warlord have also shown off Concord's new Plasma Drones.
These drones may not have the fire power of the plasma canons, but they make up for this with their capacity to support your troops wherever they need help the most, without putting further soldiers at risk.
Both of these new weapons have a great scifi style to them, characterised by an aerodynamic design combined with harsh edges. They fit with the style of their force and I look forward to seeing them painted up and included in a larger force.

nice.
the Concord is my GoA faction of choice, so I am very interested in these. I like both designs, but the plasma drone is definitely my favourite if the two.
The lighter drone looks a bit better, but both are nice.
I’m not sure I have that plasma cannon figured out. Does it float, fly, or sit on a base? Does it get bolted to a chassis? Is it autonomous, or does a crew get tucked into it somehow?
I would imagine the cannon is effectively a slower moving drone – it certainly appears to hover in some fashion.
Nice to see something that doesn’t look like it harkens back to WW1
WWI… Agreed. Very backward and unimpressive looking aesthetic, and not cool enough to be steampunk.
