There is a lot going on for Dropzone Commander this morning, with the release of their latest newsletter. It revealed some surprises, as well, including new command cards version 1.1, Famous Commanders, and a preview of the new Scourge Command Vehicle. That's quite a bit, and I even forgot to mention the Underground Hanger Scenery Pack that will be released in 3 days.
Lets take a look at the latest from Hawk Wargames.
Here is a link to the latest newsletter.

Here is a look at the releases and their release schedule.
Underground Hangar Scenery Pack
|
 |
|
Underground hangars are an extremely common feature on both the Cradle Worlds and the Colonies. Their primary purpose is to protect and store military assets beneath hundreds of feet of solid rock in much the same way as the concealed submarine bases of the 20th Century. The Hangar pack includes one large resin iris entrance, and 4 small white metal radar dish sensors. This new scenery pack is available from your local gaming stores from Saturday 31st January.
RRP: £40.00/$65.00

Updated 1.1 Command Cards
After feedback on the balance of some of the Command Cards, we have decided to update these for the original four factions, to redress the balance between them. The majority of the cards remain the same, however there are a small number of cards that were either under or overpowered and these cards have been revised. The changes will be available to download from our website in due course, and all of the new card packs will be marked as 1.1. The new cards will be available from your local stores from early February and will be shipping from our online store from Monday 9th February.
RRP: £5.00/$8.00
UCM: Lieutenant-General Luciana M. Cato
|
 |
|
Luciana Cato began her military service with the UCMF as a Fighter Command ensign aboard the Strike Carrier Richthofen. Aboard the Richthofen, Cato quickly advanced through the ranks and became notorious for her fiery temper, rebellious streak and brilliance as a fighter pilot. When badly injured in battle against the Shaltari, she chose to take up a new challenge with the UCMA. She is now in command of the battlefield in a modified variant of the Ferrum class Drone Base.
Complete rules and background for Lieutenant-General Luciana M. Cato can be found in Reconquest: Phase 1. This model will be available in stores from Saturday 28th February and comes with 4 unique command cards to represent Lieutenant-General Luciana M. Cato's abilities on the battlefield. Photos of this painted model will be released when this unit is available to pre-order.
RRP: £26.50 / $41.00
Scourge: Eden's Dinosaur
|
 |
|
The very existence of this individual has brought into question much of what the UCM thought they knew about Scourge biology. At the time of their invasion, most hosts were the so called 'Lizard Warriors', which were in the later stages of physical decay due to the ageing of the Scourge Parasites, and every host was long thought to have perished. However one seems to have survived and is now well beyond its 200 year apparent lifespan. 'The Dinosaur', as most Resistance fighters on Eden refer to it, has been sighted on many battlefronts and clearly fulfils a frontline command role, riding into battle in a highly modified Desolator armed with a devastating energy beam, capable of slicing through multiple tanks in a single shot.
Complete rules and background for Eden's Dinosaur can be found in Reconquest Phase 1. This model will be available in stores from Saturday 28th February and comes with 4 unique command cards to represent Eden's Dinosaur's abilities on the battlefield.

RRP: £19.00 / $31.00
PHR: Marcus Barros, Grand Vizier
|
 |
|
The name of Marcus Barros is already, justly, infamous among the UCM high command. His recorded battles have epitomised classic PHR military tactics and already serves as textbook examples for instruction to all officers, both on active duty and in training. He is known for bombarding opponents into the dust with extreme firepower levelled from a secure and superior position. Barros prefers to take to the centre of the fire line in person by piloting a Hades Type-4 Super Heavy Battle Walker, modified with several weapon systems not commonly seen on this vehicle pattern.
Complete rules and background for Marcus Barros can be found in Reconquest Phase 1. This model will be available in stores from Saturday 28th February and comes with 4 unique command cards to represent Marcus Barros's abilities on the battlefield. Photos of this painted model will be released when this unit is available to pre-order.
RRP: £26.50 / $41.00
Shaltari: Warchief Isis, the Clairvoyant
|
 |
|
Warchief Isis has only recently entered the awareness of the UCM military high command. She had been known to the diplomatic community for several centuries, although never, it seemed, with the remotest connection to military roles. Recently, she appears to have shifted her attentions from diplomacy to war. Warchief Isis has been afforded the honour of riding a modified Caiman Grav-Tank into battle. This variant is equipped with additional shielding and a lethal particle cannon.
Complete rules and background for Warchief Isis can be found in Reconquest Phase 1. This model will be available in stores from Saturday 28th February and comes with 4 unique command cards to represent Warchief Isis' abilities on the battlefield. Photos of this painted model will be released when this unit is available to pre-order.
RRP: £13.50 / $21.50

Resistance: Karl Foley, Prince of New Troy
|
 |
|
Karl Foley is possibly the most famous Resistance fighter on all of Eden Prime and certainly the UCM's staunchest ally there. His actions several years ago during his legendary 'Great Gambit' raid were instrumental in bringing the Reconquest to the planet. Although Foley has ridden to war in many vehicles, he now pilots his favourite machine, a J-19 Hellhog jumpjet. Like so many resistance vehicles, it is heavily modified with improved weapons systems and avionics.
Complete rules and background for Karl Foley can be found in Reconquest Phase 1. This model will be available in stores from Saturday 28th February and comes with 4 unique command cards to represent Karl Foley's abilities on the battlefield. Photos of this painted model will be released when this unit is available to pre-order.
RRP: £15.00 / $23.00

Resistance: Salakahn, Tyrant of Atlantia
|
 |
|
Salakahn is a ruthless, merciless despot, currently master of the majority of Atlantia city's Resistance population. He is infamous to both the Resistance and the UCM on Eden Prime, as his attentions have resulted in the deaths and disappearances of thousands of reconnaissance and expeditionary force troops sent into the city. He maintains his reputation as a great warrior by frequently taking to the battlefield in person. In battles he favours a bulked-out M3 Alexander super heavy battle tank which has been recently upgraded with an energy shield of PHR origin, making him extremely difficult to eliminate.
Complete rules and background for Salakahn can be found in Reconquest Phase 1. This model will be available in stores from Saturday 28th February and comes with 4 unique command cards to represent Salakahn's abilities on the battlefield.Photos of this painted model will be released when this unit is available to pre-order.
RRP: £14 / $24.00
