Bases, Bitz & Upgrades from Dream Pod 9 for Heavy Gear
September 7, 2012 by brennon
September is bringing a whole raft of different bitz and bobz for Heavy Gear from Dream Pod 9. Check out the new bases on offer which will take your Gears across the world fighting in some very different locations...
Above are a selection of their bases which stretch from the Jungle to the war torn Industrial areas of their game world. All of these bases can be grabbed from the Dream Pod 9 Webstore and they are looking superb. I love having a little bit of character on miniature bases to tell a story.
There are also a range of Armoured Jacket Torsos. These upgrade your Gears to the new 'ball and socket' standard so everything is compatible. The Hunter, Jaguar, Jager, Black Mamba, Warrior and Warrior IV are currently available.
Dream Pod 9 are also upgrading all their resin kits to resin and metal. Above are the kits for the Hussar, Voltigeur and Fusilier. While I don't have a love of metal parts on miniatures I realise that in some cases they can be better in terms of detail. As long as it isn't a pain to glue it together that's fine with me!
The Heavy Gear Summer Blitz event is also still on, so go check that out too!
Will you be grabbing any of these pieces from Dream Pod 9?

I like the direction they are headed in. I think the resin/metal kits will be fine 🙂
I have no problem with metal/resin hybrid kits, so long as the parts fit together. Battlefront has been doing it for years, from a cost and quality perspective it only makes sense. Plus those little details and gun barrels have less chance of breaking in metal. Gives the model a nicer heft to them too. I’m looking forward to seeing how the DP9 range evolves with this development.
