Drop Tactics – Launching Drones From The UCM Ferrum
July 10, 2015 by warzan
We could have titled this video "Warren's Favourite Episode" as we look at how his Dropzone Commander UCM army can utilise the Ferrum and the Starsprite Drones which they launch. Watch to find out what happens when the Drones combine their shots.
Watch The XLBS Show
Warren might not want you to but if you want to know how to tackle the Drones of the UCM Backstage members can check out the XLBS companion video where we discuss what Scourge, Shaltari & PHR can do to deal with them.

So a cunning Ferrum player might husband their initial drone force into a safe loiter zone, and gain another 4 drones per turn to unleash a veritable horde upon the opposition later on? Nasty!
If only 😉 there can only be a max of 8 drones on the board at any one time.
I don’t like the Ferrum mini, but I really dig the rules of the mini. Luckily I can buy the special commander Ferrum and proxy it (a better looking unit for my taste :D)
Thanks for the strategic advice, will have it in mind ^_^
woot woot
air superiority is always king.
if the ferrum deploys it’s drones on the first turn, does that mean the ferrum will only be able to move on to the table at half movement? I’ve got one for my UCM and my friend last week shot my scourge to ribbons with the drones, even managed to take prowlers in their dropship out…..if were a fun game. 🙂
