Hawk Show Off First Images Of PHR Ship In Dropfleet Commander
November 5, 2015 by brennon
Hawk Wargames have shown off the first of their ships from the Post Human Republic range in Dropfleet Commander. See what you make of the Ajax Class Cruiser below which is looking very impressive indeed...
The Ajax actually has, as you'll see in the images below, moving fins which you can put into different positions. That is the insane amount of attention to detail as we've come to expect from Hawk for sure. You can also see the big broadside guns across the length of the beast.
I think these are superb looking ships and they have something of the Covenant from Halo about them, but with a sheen of extra awesomeness over the top. I like that we're getting the sleek look of PHR with most of the ships design but we also get to see the gribbly bits too.
Hopefully it won't be long until we see more!

Now that I like… getting really tempted by this KS!
Kickstarter really needs to start to accept something else than just credit cards, I definitly want in on this!
Awww yeah!
All factions did look great, but I was not prepared for the PHR. THIS is amazing.
I was hoping that PHR would looking something like this! Fingers crossed the models look as gorgeous as the renders. Then I’ll be able to get a Advent, from Sins of a Solar Empire, inspired fleet out on the table top
Whilst nice designs I think so far the most impressive are the Scourge ships they are just stunning.
Sooo shiny!
Glad I got in on this for PHR! I love how it looks sort of like a robotic xenomorph head. Very cool.
Love it
New commodore pledge is up with one box set and two starter sets. Looks like you can do double phr plus 2 player box if you want. May do double UCM plus starter myself. Oh and you get 3 battle cruisers.
Cheers! Just updated my pledge and could have missed it if I hadn’t viewed this!
Time to up the pledge. … 2 PHR boxes might not be enough
While it may be a lot to infer from an image of one ship, I’d be willing to bet that the way PHR’s slow but powerful gameplay from DZC translates to DFC is that they’ll tend to mostly have fixed arc weapons that are quite strong. They’ll need to be more reliant on maneuvering to get their big guns pointed where they want them.
Or not. 😛
at first the only intersting faction was UCM . But now those guys are very temping.
looks like a good ship.
This looks great. It reminds me of a fish. 😛
The PHR should according to Dave be the broadside fleet
Spectacular design. This is a great KS and so much more to go yet! Looking forward to renders of more of the ships as well as images of painted models we have not yet seen.
You guys do know that added launch assets – fighters, bombers and big-ass torpedoes!
And more PHR cruisers were added in Update 13 –
