The Shaltari Cruise Out Of Dropfleet Commander
October 28, 2015 by dracs
Hawk Wargames are continuing to show off some of the miniatures on their way for Dropfleet, recently bringing out the renders for the two alien races contesting for the human home worlds.
Shaltari Cruiser
The Shaltari are the most technologically advanced of the Dropzone races and this is more than evident in their space ships, as shown in this new cruiser.
The Shaltari have always focused on swift maneuverability, aided by the fun tricks they can get up to with their portal technology. This cruiser, despite being a far larger class of vehicle, keeps to this style, looking thin and streamlined, bristling with cool tech.
The Shaltari are my race of choice for Dropzone, and I fully expect them to be for Dropfleet as well. This almost knife-like design for the cruiser is something I find very promising for the fleet as a whole.
Scourge Frigate
Just ahead of the Shaltari, a Scourge Frigate popped up from Hawk.
Once again, we see the race's iconic style transferred well into the new system. This time the frigate keeps to the Scourge's almost organic appearance, with everything looking like it has been made for speed.
Even as scifi aliens go, the Scourge are pretty disturbing, made all the more frightening by how devastating their technology can be. They're often the faction I'd be most worried about going up against in Dropzone. But I can't help but think their Dropfleet models are some of the best.
Which faction do you want to side with in Dropfleet?

Will definitly back this one. Everything that came out of Hawk so far looked ace!
I thibk that Shaltari and Scourge designs work better with ships than with any land based unit.
*think*
Everything that’s been shown off for this game is stunning – will definitely be backing on Friday 🙂
The Shaltari ship reminds me of an egg whisk, I perfer the UCMF and the Scourge ships. It will be interesting to see what they do with PHR though.
I REALLY want to see the PHR! I’m just finishing up my latest Dropzone additions and I’m getting twitchy!
Sooo shiny!
The scourge work MUCH better as spaceships than land units. As ships, they look organic and sleek as intended..as land units, they’re just goofy.
Yet still no idea on contents and pricing, if it were going to be great value I’m sure they would have announced it by now.
All the Dropfleet ship designs I have seen so far have been incredible, and these latest Shaltari and Scourge designs are no exceptions.
My ground forces are PHR, so that is where I’m looking in the Kickstarter. But I definitely think the UCM ships are looking really sharp too.
I do like the UCM ships
I predict this will become one of the fastest Kickstarter goal achieved pledges so far
I think its gunna be difficult to gauge the look of the Shaltari from renders due to the nature of their aesthetic, I think we’ll have to wait to see some prints to see them in their glory.
The certainly look better than the land units, nice and sleek, one to watch for me I think…damn you kickstarter!!!
i’d like
UCM
PHR
Scourge
Shaltari
in this order!^^
