Hawk Wargames Warm Up the Mechs for Dropzone Commander
May 16, 2012 by brennon
Some more 10mm beauties have surfaced from Hawk Wargames. Check out these titanic mechs and a rather snazzy looking fighter from their upcoming range in Dropzone Commander...
It might just be because the Walkers have the name 'Odin' in them but those are looking pretty special. That's not to say the Seraphim Strike Fighter isn't! Loving the fact that those Mech-walkers will stand head and shoulders over everything else at a whopping 31mm! Another thing to note is how the sleek and carefully shaped form from other Post-Human craft has worked its way into this stomping great walkers.
Are the Post-Human Republic your favourite faction so far? If not, who is?

I think all of the factions have a greatness to them. If I had to choose two, It’d be the Humans and the Post-Humans…but I”ll be starting with the Post Human Rep. for sure. It wasn’t hard to talk my friend into getting into the game with me upon its release..and he chose the humans.
I can’t wait to see what future games/factions Hawk Games releases!
The Odin walkers definitely appeal, being so like a unit from the end of a tech tree in an RTS game with their clearly massive firepower and smoothly coated chunky look. However my fave of these is the Seraphim – it looks like an upgraded version of the TAC Fighter from the first Starship Troopers film with that wide wingspan/body and sleek swept-back tail. The bubble cockpit in the nose is a nice retro touch as well as it looks like something from a WW2 bomber. Just amazing stuff from Hawk. The UCM units right now really make me think… Read more »
I like the walkers. Heavy and intimidating, seriously sci-fi in design. I’m warming more and more to the posthuman faction as the images are released although still not much of a fan of the companies infantry sculpts so far.
Both of these are excelent and will find their uses even outside the Dropzone Commander game. The Seraphim fighter is big enough to work in 15mm scale and so are the Odin walkers. Odin in particular works from 6mm to 28mm, maybe even up to 54mm as a small security bot. I think I’ll be using Odins as bots for Infinity, think of Robocop. The aesthetics are well suited for ALEPH faction.
I like those walkers. Those sculpts have certain BT Universe feel in them and to me as huge BT fan thats defenetly plus. Seraphiim is rather sleek looking fighter and seems like its for two people.
Not a great fan of mechs as such, but those mechs are looking mighty fine. The human tanks too, but I like the idea of the pothuman republic and the sleek style, so I will probably get them when the game’s out.
The Post Humans are nice, but I’m Shaltari all the way!
OK I have to say it, I can’t hold it in any more! Enough is enough! I can’t stand this game that is so cool looking yet I can’t even pre-order let alone buy! This preview and the others are like some sick, twisted torcher to drive gamer’s like me mad. Just come out with the models PLEASE!!!!!
I think most people agree that the 10mm troops aren’t the BEST…but again, 10mm and smaller are hard to make look perfect. Luckily the majority of the game will be tanks/walkers/ships.
Of all the the infantry, however, I think the best looking are the PHR and the Shaltari.
Damn, I like them all! My birthday will be shortly after the launch of the game, hmm… Time to drop blatant hints I think 😀
I’m excited to get into a 10mm game that looks really, really good. Not really a fan of such small scale, but this and Dystopian Wars both play very very well on their looks. Very well made and very recognizable, I’m impressed.
