Hawk Wargames Bring Commanders to the Dropzone

That may seem a bit of a backwards way of saying the games name, but wait till you check out these Command Walkers from Dropzone Commander by Hawk Wargames...

Not long till pre-ordering time!

Zeus looks awesome and that shield looking arm is interesting. With that I am liking even more from post-human units. Coyote is also looking good and getting some points from me to shaltari.
Makes me wonder how Hawks will sell theirs mechas/striders. Will it be a different box/blister for each type (command, anti infantry, anti air)? Main body alone and upgrade kits sold separately?

They are beautiful… makes me wonder even at their 10mm can I sub in these big walkers and vehicles into other games. Cockpits might be a problem but a little conversion work maybe…
