Spartan Games Show Off Their June 2015 Firestorm Releases
May 27, 2015 by brennon
Spartan Games have shown off what's coming to both Firestorm Armada and Planetfall next month in June. There's a whole range of new ships and a rather epic looking walker too...
Firestorm Armada
Kicking things off are the various fleets for Firestorm Armada. New commanders and Invasion Fleets have been put together that include rules and scenarios for attacking planets and linking your games to what's happening with Planetfall.
I don't think my thoughts on the various fleets and factions of Firestorm have changed much throughout the years. I still think that the Terran and Dindrenzi are the coolest looking of the lot with their blocky cruisers that look like they can take a right good hammering.
Planetfall
Down on the planet below there is a conflict brewing too and both the RSN and the Veydreth are doing battle. The RSN even have something very special indeed when it comes to that amazing walker. It has wings AND a sword!
I can certainly get behind that as a concept. It's a bit like having an awesome Jaeger from Pacific Rim. Planetfall is certainly a very good looking game right now and it has drawn a lot of positive attention.
Could this be the new set of miniatures for you?

Nice models but they should rethink catalogue numbers especially for Firestorm Armada Aquan Prime faction
Maybe they are so good and sexy that you can’t go wanky!^^
I’m glad I’m not alone in having really lousy sense of humour ;P
It was my very first thought as I set my gaze on the article!
Glad there’s no “Firestorm Unity Coalition.”
I have heard that used as slang before. Maybe its just recent thing or a regional thing
Hadn’t
Very excited to see how the planetary sieges work out. I remember when Battlefleet Gothic came on the scene. Our group was still playing epic at the time and we were attempting to create rules to incorporate the two (BFG and epic). Here is hoping BOW will show the Firestorm universe some love.
I’m still torn between these two systems and Dropzone Commander and its fleet game. It may come down to rules. Is anyone familiar with both? Which would you recommend? I like beefier, more realistic rules.
@cpauls1 Check http://www.spartangames.co.uk/resources/downloads
All of the core rule books for Spartan games are free to download. I am not familiar with DZC rules, so I cannot help you there. But, Spartans resin casts are some of the best on the market (IMO).
Thank you @grumbleback . I’ll check it out 🙂 .
