    DWEX15 The Eclipse Company Aerial Battle Group
    The powerful air Brigades of the Honourable Eclipse Company are becoming a common sight around the world, as canny or desperate military commanders and politicians empty their coffers to employ these highly trained and well-armed specialists. The mighty Elysium Class hybrid airship forms the core of this set’s strength. This versatile vessel carries a swarm of stout Horten Kestrel and Sparrowhawk combat aeroplanes, as well as impressive firepower; capacious bomb bays, serried broadside automatic cannons and, most significantly, the notorious (and very loud!) Armstrong Earth Shaker cannon.

    A trio of Phoenician Scout airships fly in support. These flamboyant craft pack heavy firepower of their own, with a brace of heavy cannon and substantial bomb-load, making them equally threatening to air and surface targets. More agile striking power is provided by the Oceanus and Hades class battle aeroplanes, the mainstay of the HEC’s aerial support forces. The large, sturdy Oceanus is a long-range strike bomber, though its automatic cannon fittings make it a tough prospect in aerial combat.

    The exceptionally swift Hades is a consummate aerial hunter, its skilled pilots adept at weaving through enemy counter-fire to deliver stinging punishment with their braces of cannon and machine guns. Together, these formidable craft form a powerful air Brigade. The HEC prides itself on service without prejudice, so whatever your faction, they will be willing to give their all in battle...for a suitable fee, of course! Be sure to hire a Brigade to support your core forces.
    Contains: 1 Elysium Class Large Flyer, 4 acrylic Sheaf Blast Templates, 3 Phoenician Class Medium Scout Flyers, 2 Oceanus Class Bombers, 5 Hades Class Small Flyers (Interceptors), 16 Tiny Flyer Tokens, 1 A5 Fleet Guide, 1 A5 Token Sheet and 1 A5 Template Sheet. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.

    DWEX16 The Eclipse Company Support Group
    The Honourable Eclipse Company operates worldwide, and has come to see the value of not associating with any single major power. Its Brigades are commonly based in backwater areas or even offshore and most often in specially designed military structures, such as the solidly built and very well armed Tartarus Class Fortification home. Based on designs frequently used for oil drilling and mining in inhospitable regions, the Tartarus’s well-appointed accommodation and ample stores are heavily defended by formidable weaponry; the structure quite literally bristles with automatic cannons and machine guns.

    Many Tartarus Fortifications mount Generator equipment at their cores; some have shielding arrays, while others harbour the deadly power of the uranium-fuelled pulse engine. For sea-based structures, further security is provided by swarms of Stingray mini-submarines, whose alert crews rush to their stations at the first sign of attack by enemy naval forces. Tartarus towers inevitably have a stout security cordon girdling them, whose strongest redoubts are the Gadeiros Class Fortifiication. These resilient bunkers are outfitted with docks for Stingray submarines where necessary and a cluster of tough Gadeiros installations can break the back of enemy raiders. Furthermore, they can be erected by HEC Brigades on-site where needed, especially when they are working on long-running contracts. These vital bases give crucial support for your HEC forces, and can make a fine addition to a Dystopian Wars terrain collection in their own right.

    Contains: 1 Large Tartarus Class Fortification, 2 Medium Gadeiros Class Fortifications, 2 Oceanus Class Bombers, 8 Tiny 'Stingray' Class Submarine Tokens, 8 MTB 'Atlas' Class Assault Ship Tokens, 1 A5 Fleet Guide, 1 Token Sheet and 1 Template Sheet. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.

    DWEX17 Dystopian Wars Battlefield Objective Set
    There are times during a game that capturing and holding objectives can be vitally important to a player. There are other times when capturing an objective can quite simply generate a random game event, sometimes good and other times bad! This Dystopian Wars Battlefield Objective Set is designed to enhance gameplay by
    providing players with stylised objectives to capture, with the 30 Game Event Cards providing a colourful mechanic for randomising what happens when an Objective is secured. The Objectives will also feature heavily as a game mechanic for upcoming Campaign and Scenario settings.

    Contains: 8 30mm Round Objective Models and 30 Game Event Cards. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.

    Firestorm Armada Battlecruisers continued:

    Attachment 6738Attachment 6739

    FADF16 Dindrenzi Federation Battlecruiser Squadron
    This box set contains a Squadron of 2 x Cataphract Class Battlecruisers. Each Battlecruiser mounts a twined pair of fearsome railguns down their central spine. However, unlike other Dindrenzi vessels, these weapons are optimised to forgo long range shots in favour of causing incredible devastation at closer quarters. Powerful engines and strong armour ensures the Cataphracts can complete their charge, while swift-tracking gun racks and clouds of remote mine explosives wreak havoc in the channel which the railguns carve through the enemy’s formation.

    FATA16 Terran Alliance Battlecruiser Squadron
    This box set contains a Squadron of 2 x Marshal Class Battlecruisers. Sustained volleys from the Battlecruisers’ twinned torpedo systems inflict telling damage from the outset of battle; easily blasting apart lighter craft or
    hammering through the defences of larger vessels with coordinated salvos. Then, when embroiled in the thick of the action, fearsome close range turrets can reliably penetrate the thick armour of the enemy’s heaviest craft, while extensive shielding systems absorb their return fire.

    FAAP16 Aquan Prime Battlecruiser Squadron
    This box set contains a full Squadron of 2 x Orca Class Battlecruisers, along with the SRS tokens which they can launch. The Orcas are exceptionally swift for their size and powerful mid-range lasers lance out from every face. With deadly torpedoes and wings of short range spacecraft to supplement their main weapons, these Battlecruisers can encircle the enemy, crippling their systems, weakening their hulls and picking apart their defences before they close in and let their bomber craft finish the task.

    FASC16 Sorylian Collective Battlecruiser Squadron
    This box set contains a pair of Hasta Class Battlecruisers, along with the SRS tokens which they can launch. These Battlecruisers provide vital fleet support with their wings of short range spacecraft and bombard the enemy with a substantial array of weaponry from the core of a Sorylian formation. With Hardpoint options to increase speed, reinforce their already formidable defences or turn them in to a deadly assault ship, the Hasta are an invaluable and versatile component in a Sorylian Fleet.

    FATD16 The Directorate Battlecruiser Squadron
    This box set contains a pair of Deterrent Class Battlecruisers. A large central reactor powers swift drive engines, lethal plasma turrets and dense energy shields. Their far-reaching and flexible turret systems allow these Battlecruisers to skirt the enemy, evading their optimum targeting range whilst methodically eroding their defences. Then, crushing torpedo salvoes loaded with toxins tailored to eliminate crew, disrupt computer systems or dissolve bulkheads slam home, spreading chaos and confusion through their squadrons.

    FATR16 The Relthoza Battlecruiser Squadron
    This box set contains a full Squadron of 2 x Raptor Class Battlecruisers. Comprised of towering K’ss’ar’k warriors armed with advanced nanite rifles and supported by swarms of robotic drones, Relthoza boarding parties are feared by space farers across the quadrant. Raptor Battlecruisers dedicate much of their volume to assault teams and their launch pods. Supplemented with crushingly powerful broadside batteries and shrouded in trademark stealth technologies, their approach is enough to put all but the boldest enemies to flight.

    FAEX04 Firestorm Armada Battlefield Objective Set
    There are times during a game that capturing and holding objectives can be vitally important to a player. There are other times when capturing an objective can quite simply generate a random game event, sometimes good
    and other times bad! This Firestorm Amada Battlefield Objective Set is designed to enhance gameplay by providing players with stylised objectives to capture, with the 30 Game Event Cards providing a colourful mechanic for randomising what happens when an Objective is secured. The Objectives will also feature heavily as a game mechanic for upcoming Campaign and Scenario settings.

    Contains: 8 30mm Hexagon Objective Models and 30 Game Event Cards. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.
