I like his reasons for going with 10mm and fully agree with them. Love the fact that a drop shit can physically hold the models the rules allow it to transport. Scales actually correct and consistent in a wargame? Excellent!

The previews keep coming - this time it's some "heavy fighters":
http://www.beastsofwar.com/sci-fi-wargaming/hawk-wargames-preview-dropzone-flyers/

Both are easily big enough to be drone craft in 28mm scale and I should think they work well in 15mm as well.

I'm really liking the look of the human ranges in particular.

Today's (ok yesterday's really) preview features some traditional tanks as well as more exotic stuff:

The Minder drones look rather ubiquitous but their tail "fork" is a little oversized IMCO - needs a bit of work if I ever take them on

I agree the fork on those drones is perhaps the first thing that I feel looks bad, some things I am neutral about but that's the first bad one.

Today's preview:
http://www.beastsofwar.com/sci-fi-wargaming/hawk-wargames-warm-mechs-dropzone-commander/

The mechs are again certainly large enough to fit in with 15mm (and in fact could even work as robots in 28mm) so I would think HWg does know what it's doing, scalewise

ETA - more mechatype stuff:

I'd hate to see that land on my battlefield!

Anyway the dropSHIP's I've seen so far are lovely, nice display at salute too.

The newest sneak peak Scourge thingies would make nice little scuttling droids for 28mm:

So cute!!!1!1!

I will pick up whatever I like that looks good in 15mm, but I'm just not interested in jumping to another new scale. I wish them luck though.

Gary Mitchell · « **Reply #39 on:** May 24, 2012, 03:52:03 PM »

Saw it at Salute - it looked very interesting.

Geudens · « **Reply #40 on:** May 25, 2012, 06:28:29 AM »

Would have to see them in the flesh but some of the models might be nice additions for Firestorm Armade if the size is right.

tnjrp · « **Reply #41 on:** May 25, 2012, 06:31:33 AM »

I know numbers don't necessarily tell the whole truth but HWG is exceptionally good at revealing the most relevant measurements of their minis. Given that much of the industry is following the maxim "mum's the word" when it comes to divulging size information, it is downright refreshing

The good news is that there's a new preview:
http://www.beastsofwar.com/hawk-wargames/dropzone-commander/flying-striding-world-dropzone-commander/

The bad news is that the website launch has apparently been moved forward to June 8 and the full launch (of the game I assume) to June 23

I'd definitely buy some if they had been in 6mm (or even 15mm for that matter).
I don't have enough space or money for a whole new scale though...
That said, the models look fantastic.

For SF. we have a few 6mm, but mostly 15mm & 28mm.
Some of these should look great for use as large alien types for 6mm, or smaller alien types for 15mm. In 15mm the humans just become dwarfs. Mantic already do space dwarfs for 28mm. Some of these vehicles do look rather splendid though, and could be droids in any scale....

Well that gives me time to save more cash! I would have liked to see this game in 15mm but 10mm is just fine.
