Monorail Scenery Pack: Video Review- A First Look
This weekend I also received a Monorail Scenery Pack. It was the first scenery pack released, and now with the orbital defense laser, gives us a couple wonderful mission changes with some excellent scenery.
It should be noted that these scenery packs can just be used for scenery on the table, like they were at the first official Dropzone Commander Tournament a few months back, or they can be used with the missions. The missions are free online, and will be included in the new expansion book later this year, Reconquest.
This really is a cool model, and will probably be the first that I get ready for games. I will do a full battle report when I do get these done and get in some of the missions.
7 feet of flexible lightweight track on steel bases, means that this is very usable on the tabletop and wont budge during games. Once done, the track is lightweight and flexible enough to roll up and put away. Check out the video for a closer look.

The Monorail has been a popular form of urban transportation on human worlds for many hundreds of years. This, the almost ubiquitous 'Silver Bullet' model, is by far the most common and has changed little from before humanities' Age of Expansion to the present day. It is fast, robust and famously reliable since it employs very few moving parts. It is also self-powered, allowing it to operate independently of a city's energy grid. Human-built monorails are known to still be employed by Scourge forces on the Cradle Worlds and are occasionally commandeered by Resistance forces when needed. In fact, it is apparent that a long abandoned Silver Bullet can be brought back to life with as little as fresh fuel and basic tools. Although normally civilian vehicles, in these times of war they have frequently been pressed into all sorts of improvised military roles, from the efficient movement of supplies to VIP transport. Indeed, they can often prove to be critical objectives for a variety of missions.
