Welcome friends to the Weekender! Today we're looking at (as you might have guessed from the title) Dropzone Commander! We've stuck together the miniatures from the two player starter set and even take a look at some of the other new shiny bits and pieces too!
And for all of you guys in backstage we have a special set of buildings for you to print off and use in expanding your battlefields! These are the first 'distressed' versions of the city buildings, and you can get them first exclusively here!
Don't forget to check out the list of awesome stuff that featured this week.

Very nice buildings. O, man! Why can’t I have all the games out there!!?? I need to win a lottery 🙂
ps.
whatever happened to Andy? Have alliens abducted him? Last time he was here was during the Grumpy Old Wargamers weekend.
Cheers
PHR starter army you say? Sod the 2 player starter, sign me up for one of those! lol
love dropzone, just need to get my own stuff instead of borrowing other peoples
It’s really hard to believe that those models are really 10mm scale. Detail of those miniatures are just stunning!
Desperately trying not to watch but I feel myself being drawn in.
Nice episode guys. I am growing more fond of the scourge the more I see them, but have to say the the human races are still pipping them past the post. 🙂
Come to think about it. The Scourge is somewhat like the Goa’uld – mean parasites. Cool 🙂
I keep telling my wife I need a backstage subscription. Gotta stop buying so many games first. Sigh.
Nice show again guys, the big PHR thingy is fantastic, but I do like those little cars, and warren’s idea of using them as part of the terrain with the buildings and roads is excellent, damage, pain them with a bit of rust showing, sprinkle on a few bits of model railroad foliage if you want an ‘I am Legend’ sort of look to it all and you have interesting roadways that tell a story in themselves. PS. Just looked at the buildings for backstagers, really nice artwork, I think the first one, the sandstone one, is perhaps the best… Read more »
Seeing this is really vindicating my pre-order of DZC.
It makes this game SO much more easy to justify/get into.
Man that tank is really freakenly spasTICLY COOL
Loving the technicals, especially the rocket heavies. Glad you are considering an underdog faction as these really appeal to me.
Really, really nice looking stuff. I love the resistance’s ramshackle look.
I love this game me and my friends are actually starting a league at our LGS…
Where we are creating custom battles and objectives based on 3 player clashes as opposed to the 2 player. To make it different from everyone else’s league play.
I have 1400 + in PHR and starting up a scourge force here soon.
We always attract a bunch of people around the table when we roll into our LGS and set up.
Oh no! Here comes that shiny syndrome again! Wonderful stuff!
This game looks AMAZING!!!. Respect to Dave and all the design work. Really looking forward to picking up the starter set next month and wasting many man hours in my new man cave causing 10mm carnage on me new table.
Best start down scaling me 40k I thinks or ill be divorced by Christmas!
Great job as always guys!
I have my own channel which explains why i love DZC and nothing to with the fact me and the others that go to my local store, get to see the new stuff being play tested! i really would like to collect the PHR and currently own an Athena and some walkers. The Hades is what sold it to me in the first place !! such amazing models! – Luke
Ok Dave, we want abandoned helicopters for dropships for these new guys ;0)
2 player set on pre order! so looking forward to trying this game.
Only down side is I will more than likely play one of the two factions not in the starter set. PHR or shaltari is where my hear is!
I saw the Resistance models at Gencon and they looked cool, but I really love the PHR.
PHR are really awesone
I love the walkers unit and the fluff
after the DZC starter set unboxing video I run to all the other DZC video on the web to take a better idea of the game… and I really pleased
just one thing… the starter set don’t came whit the command card right?
I can’t find clue on this ..
I have to buy an army =P
Firstly you can buy the command cards seperately. But I think the main reason is to keep the price at that nice low point, to make the starter game simpler and because the armies don’t come with command vehicles.
Dropzone Commander is becoming more and more appealing, that box set is very tempting!
The detail continues to amaze and delight. I really enjoy the hearing about how much thought went into the design of the models from magnetizing to how the painting would effect the final assembly. Great job.
I can’ t wait for the 2 player starter box, those plastics look amazing.
