Spartan Prepare The Directorate For Firestorm Planetfall

If you thought the last tanks we showed off for Firestorm Planetfall were good looking then take a second to check out The Directorate's addition to the concept line-up from Spartan Games...
The Directorate have the best of the best when it comes to technology and as you might imagine this means they can bring to bear some tanks that have a lot more than just guns and treads. Some of them are kitted out for cyber warfare!
This is now looking like it should be a very good game indeed. I love the design of everything I've seen so far and if the models look as good as these renders people are in for a treat. I was never particularly taken with the actual Firestorm Armada game but these should be just the ticket!
"On the battlefield, the ground forces of the Directorate take a ‘right tool for the job’ approach. VTOL craft of varying sizes provide manoeuvrability and heavy firepower, Tank Destroyers and automated gun platforms deadly fire support and Battle Tanks occupy the enemy’s attention, shrugging off their shots with high-tech armour systems."
Well that's just epic right?

OMG! these look epic and it looks like you get free hex’s with one of them, which ofc makes it illegal not to own one. 😀
Spartan Games just keeps getting better and better, hope they don’t divert from the concepts too much.
COOOOOOOL!!!!!
Totally AWESOME! Drop dead models and I love the Epic scale and tie in with FA. Spartan Games is in my top three of games and gaming company. My only complaint is they never seem to focus on cleaning a system out. Meaning, you get the feel they have A.D.D. with working on one thing. I love Spartan Games and thier lines. Keep it up!
Is this 15mm or 28mm?
10mm.
oooh ! gunship…
how long do we have to wait for this epic stuff ?
Man that gunship looks great, me want.
I’ve often drooled over Spartan products but have always held back for one reason or another from getting their games, despite how easily they stoke my shiny syndrome. But this game? Yes, this may very well be the game Spartan hooks me with. I’ve been looking at DZC for quite some time but two things about it keep me away; price (yes, I know, 2-player starter is an awesome deal but beyond that the game still gets rather expensive) and gameplay. Fighting it out in cities is cool and all…but I don’t want to always be fighting over buildings. If… Read more »
The balance is generally okay. Sometimes the factions start with slight unbalance, but they have gotten better at it and most new releases are in balance with each other, and they are updating older units to be in line. So I’d say by now they’re experienced enough to not let clearly faulty factions/units out to the public.
Looking Good!
