Hawk Wargames New Releases For Dropzone Commander
February 19, 2013 by brennon
Hawk Wargames certainly have been busy behind the scenes it seems. Check out some of their releases for February and March that will expand your Dropzone Commander experience...
Every faction looks to have been catered for in this release and the miniatures are looking much, much better than the earlier waves. The level of detail seems to have been ramped up a considerable degree and we have some fancy looking vehicles and troops to play with.
I'm fairly certain that I would be grabbing the Post-Human Republic if I started Dropzone Commander simply because of those Erebos Strike Walkers.
Are you a Dropzone Commander fan looking for new vehicles?
Let me know what you think of this new selection below.

Some of them look impressive, but not enough to part me from my cash.
What is tha UCM vehicle for I wonder. :/ Is it some kind of mobile airfield?
” *ARGH, It be the plank me hearty* “
Weee ! Annihilator !
Love the looks of the new figures and still love the look of the old ones.
But…
I still won’t buy any of them at the retarded prices they’re charging.
I have maybe a hundred bucks into my post human army it all fits into a case the size of a kids lunch box. The models are fantastic the game moves quick and you can download terrain IE buildings and print them, then slap together for free. For those who are reading this thread and on the fence cocerning this game. Pay no mind to the negaative remarks from the same bone heads who don’t even own any of it. Also keep in mind that the same people were to even get a small whiff of GW plastic, it almost… Read more »
If it’s flying off the shelves, why isn’t there a single store in my country carrying it, and why is there absolutely 0 interest beyond “How nice..HOW MUCH FOR 10MM MODEL?”? Seriously, I love the concept, I love the models, and every half a year I get into the mood to get into the game. Then I realize I will be the only one, and for all the money you still end up with “minis to fit a “childrens’ lunchbox”, which unless the sizes differe from country to country, means it’s about the size of a large wallet. That’s just… Read more »
You must either be from poland or of very weak constitution to the point you have no ability to research for yourself.

10 mm or not is irrelevant the money required to play this game is nothing compared just about everything else.
It also took my whole gaming group about 4 months to get the stuff in from local gaming warehouse due to demand. That is still a problem but getting better since they bought a bigger place to produce and house the game.
Do some research

I am, as it is, from Poland in fact. But even on your usual gaming sites, I see pretty minimal amount of talk about the game,which is a bit suspicious. As for “nothing compared to just about everything else”, that’s a lie, sir, and a foul lie. A starter set, at a discounter, is 62 pounds, and that gets you absolute minimum. A starter for Infinity is about 27 pounds, so I can have two and still afford a blister pack for the game, which exceeds the number of models in DzC starter AND is enough to play a large… Read more »
Wow. The air must be really thin up on top of that high horse of yours.
That was aimed at Dawnpatrolchapter by the way not you Poks – I actually agree with everything you typed.
I’m with you.
OK- well I am sure there will be games that are cheaper… However one thing I have noticed about a good chunk of you people, who do piss and moan all the time. I mean you guys sound like you squat when you go to pee. Because the crying is always about money. Which reminds me of my wife she always cries about how much it costs to be in this hobby. You little campers need to find a fistful of toilet paper and dry your lil eye’s there and ask yourself a few questions. Why do you guys post… Read more »
I am glad your brother is a happy fellow with his parachute jumping, would really like to do that myself. However, I don’t think I could justify that expense to myself, wish I could. Sometimes we have to live to our limits and money means different things to different people. Some people have more of it than others, which often changes our view on the matter. Just because someone suggests that it is to expensive for them does not mean they are hating the game. It just indicates that it maybe out of their budget at this time to try… Read more »

Well Mick Right but when you see a pattern develop it would indicate something else. Example, one of the biggest turn offs for me concerning like GW isn’t the game of 40k, but the players. You have this collective of people who play the game for tourneys no problem here. Then you have a group that is not really into hardcore playing but more so the art side of it and spend countless hours painting and kit bashing to create just the most awesome armies to look at. really have no problems here as well. But then you have yet… Read more »
First of all, you need a massive, suppository-delivered chill-pill, because you sound like a hysterical lady right now. No offense to ladies prone to hysteria. Second, no one here actually “hates” the game. What we’re saying is that the game is objectively speaking, very expensive for a toy soldiers game. Up there with GW and Warmahordes. That is a large hurdle for a new game. So if you actually wanted the game to grow, instead of…I don’t know, pushing fingers into your ears and going “lalalala it’s perfect!”, you’d realize it needs new players, and price IS a sensitive point… Read more »

I at one time was single and could spend as I wish. Now that I’m happily married I don’t just make decisions on my own. I need to take her into account. I cut my hobby money down considerably and must choose what I think is a worthy choice. For the time being I don’t think this will be the game or models that I can get. I did mention that I think some of them look great and justly so. But to label many of us as dip shits is just taking it far. I admire your passion for… Read more »
Ah come on @manpug Thats no fair you should know by now that I am only over the top for the fun of it… Don’t take my mindless rambles serious thats no fun, look if I had bought the game and it played like crap I would of said so to stop you guys from making the same mistake. I am only asking for a little bit of credit here, not alot We have all bought into crap games that haven’t made it. I bought into arcane legions and it hit bottom pretty quick… I would not say Dropzone is… Read more »
I don’t see how you can possibly compare the prices for the models of Dystopian wars and the ones you get for Dropzone commander. While there is nothing wrong with the Dystopian models, the Dropzone commander models are in another league. Aesthetics aside (although I’d argue if you thought the Dystopian models were better, you’d be saying such a thing to be contrite), the material the models are made of is much better (this is something the maker is proud of). Then there is the design of the actual models themselves, in that the Dropzone models actually all work to… Read more »

I really love the Post Humans. I’m off to buy a starter and a blister or three now.
I am really starting to hate this game…………. Almost all the factions look awesome and I can’t decide. I just have to get them all I guess. lol
It is just personal preference but I don’t like the organic feel of some of the models, they are nice cultps but not for me.
Well glad to see that the prices are mental…
He’s one guy in his basement …
I love the look of this stuff but I don’t know anyone that plays it. 🙁
Erebos reminds me of Metal Gear Rex.
Sure to get some of these 🙂
It’s true the prices seem a little off-putting, especially given the size. But the prices are not that different for resin and small companies. This is one guy remember. It is expensive, sure, but it’s some of the best resin out there. I have some myself, as a treat, and the models are beautiful. Not just awesome, but beautiful as well.
The reality is he simply can’t offer these models cheaper without giving them away. He’s not a large corporation, he’s one man.
I hear very good reports about this game, but every time I look at the models my mind sorta goes blank (no cheeky comments please 😛 ). I am not really sure what I am looking at most of the time tbh. ships with lots of lolly sticks coming out of it? :S
Horses for courses I say. I hope those that like it, are please for these new models. 🙂
Just keeps looking better and better i really like the look of this game tho no one round here seems to be intrested in playing it
@Dawnpatrol >Ah Ha I knew it a freaking rules lawyer LMFAO a polish one to boot First of all, nice racism there, bro. Second of all and more importantly, I have to ascertain one fact- are you perhaps mentally disabled? Because I genuinely don’t want to make fun of a handicapped person. On the assumption you’re actually not clinically retarded, and only acting so, I have to ask, why do you hate DzC so much that you troll BoW topics to make DzC players look like idiots? I mean I honestly don’t care that you’re making an ass out of… Read more »
Of course the best way to deal with someone you think is being racist, is to call someone mentally disabled.
As opposed to maybe just ignoring the post completely or reporting it to moderators
Going back on topic, I’ll say that these models are lovely; if I had the spare time (currently dealing with a stroppy 7 week old girl) or the room in my house (nappies everywhere) I’d be very tempted by this game (yes despite the price). Hopefully there will be a few videos sometime in the future showing off how this game is played; Beastsofwar pretty much got me and my friend into Warmachine. For what it is worth, there was in the most recent Dropzone letter, talk about a cardboard building book…thing. I know, a fully grown man getting worked… Read more »
@poks relax just joking around remember I am only a box of text on a computer screen and have no place in your world around you. If one can not laugh at themselves they can not laugh at the world either and life is too short. @fleetey blue table painting has done a great job covering this game, As far as warmachine goes ya BoW got me into that one too. My opinion is any purchase made from Privateer Press is money well spent. It seems to be a company made up of gamers like us. I fisrt saw this… Read more »

Ah yes, pulling the old “I was only joking folks” after you make a massive clown of yourself..sorry, but no. I am relaxed, but you’re still a giant assmuffin who doesn’t have the good grace to admit he pissed his pants when someone didn’t like what he likes.
Dude where ya been I make a clown out of myself quite a bit I am actually pretty good at it. If everyone liked everything that I did this would be a very boring forum and really no reason to converse. My objective was simple I did not want to see this article go by with only 4 or 5 replies and most of them being negative from people who havent even played the game as per usual here. So I took it upon myself to pimp slap a few just to raise the comments here and hopefully drag in… Read more »

So instead you shitposted? Anyway, despite the price, as I said, I do like thegame, so I might’ve even gotten some when the tax returns arrive. Thankfully, there’s a zero chance I will now, I’d be too afraid to meet someone like you since apparently the game tends to draw in mouthbreathers. Will in fact talk a friend who was dead-set on the game from it.
tl;dr called the cops, the army, the GW lawyers and won’t bother with the game ever again, good job.
WOW. Calm down, buckos. It’s a game. Yes, it IS a bit expensive for what you get, but I’ve put $200 into my UCM so far, and am more then happy with it. Even if it IS a bit on the pricey side for the point values of the miniatures, the sculpts are great and the game very nice. Well done, Hawk: I’ll be playing for many years to come. The real shame is when you compare the miniatures and their cost to Spartan games, and especially Dystopian Wars. That is when you realize just HOW MUCH MORE the DzC… Read more »
I believe that this upstart is awesome, I play 40k, Infinity and Warmahordes and all are different. I just got into DzC and I’m very impressed not only on the figures but in the game system. It really feels like this guys poured his heart into creating this game.
Kudos 🙂
Brother G
If we can all avoid the nastiness it would be appreciated, it just clouds the issue. I have a growing force of PHR and UCM and I think the game is brilliant. I will definitely be getting the new stuff for both of these factions. I have noticed that outside of the two main DzC Forums there appears to be a lack of a DzC presence. Do not mistake this for a lack in popularity or even a lack in quality. It took the other games years to get where they are today. DzC has only been around in terms… Read more »
