Web Exclusive Model & New Corvettes For Dropfleet Commander
March 21, 2017 by brennon
With a new website being launched Hawk Wargames has now released a bunch of new Corvettes on their webstore and an exclusive miniature which you will be able to get up until April 21st, 2017. Let's take a look...
Leading the way we have the aforementioned exclusive miniature, the UCM Saratoga Class Light Cruiser.
"The Saratoga is an experimental development of the New Cairo class Light Cruiser with a focus on efficiency, incorporating the very latest systems. While the New Cairo inherits many core attributes from the older Rio class (itself several decades old), the Saratoga features an entirely new prow and amidships superstructure, conceived from the ground up."
They even came up with a reason in the background for why this ship is made in such limited numbers...
"Unfortunately for the Admiralty, the Saratoga's were built exclusively at the FSI (Ferrous Shipping Industries) yards over the planet Ferrum which were entirely destroyed during the Scourge onslaught in late 2671."
It will be available on the webstore up until April 21st, then at Salute. From that point on it will only pop up at selected shows so if you really do want this Cruiser you should snap it up.
Corvettes A'Comin'
As well as the Light Cruiser they also showed off four new Corvettes for the factions in Dropfleet Commander. We have the UCM Santiago Class Corvette...
...the Scourge Hunter-Killer Nickar Class Corvette, and PHR Echo Class Corvette.
...and finally the Shaltari Cloudfliers Glass Class.
Each of them looks exceptionally sleek and well designed, ready to be a lethal device in your armada as it drifts forward to engage the enemy. I particularly like the design of the Santiago Class Corvette which has the look of a futuristic fighter, similar to the design of some of the ships in the Destiny video game.
So, with so many new ships to choose from what are you going to be picking up?

I am very much looking forwards to getting my hands on Corvettes and finding out how they change up the game. Here little strike carrier….
not as keen on some of the ships they look as if they have been made from the bits box.
that will set my wallet back a bit as well – 6 packs of Corvettes (3 PHR + 1 for each of the lesser races)
And better get the web exclusive one as well ….
I know the feeling…lol
18 Echoes? Sounds like a dirty spam list!
Not really it just give the opportunity to go big with 4 Battleships and a big number of Cruisers and Frigates …. 4 starters worth. .. I might have a problem ; )
It’s not a problem until your wallet / wife says it is.
Soooo…. Dirty spam list? 😉
shaltari super tech looks awesome, the rest are burning recks and star dust.
I’m not keen on web exclusive, limited release stuff though the Saratoga does look nice. I agree with Zorg, though, some of the Corvettes look like bitz box conversions. I know Resin is their thing, I was just hoping to see more plastic ships in this line, instead of it just being the starter boxes. I just don’t like working with the stuff.
As long as it have the same state line, I have no issue with them releasing limited editions just make the table a little more fun
Those are all damn sexy
Looking at the UCM ship`s, just have to check on the old bank balance first.
