Spotted this on the Hawk Forums. Some preview art and unit concepts:
Some nice (and large) artwork within:
This year we wanted to do something a little different!
Since Patrice joined the Team, Hawk Wargames has been able to produce some great artwork for Dropzone Commander. We want to share some new pieces with you, alongside a few other things...
With each piece of artwork you are invited to enter a caption competition to describe the scene, max 100 words, with the best one from each piece winning our show only model (the escape pod). (A winner will be announced the following day for each piece).
So, without further ado... to start the Advent Calendar off, The UCM Colonial Legionnaire.
"CIC, UCMS Avenger"
New unit concepts:
Commander Isis
Catos Ferrum
Karl Foley's Hellhog
Marcus Borros' Hades
Still waiting for the scourge preview...

You don't happen to know what the approximate dimensions of the Marcus Borros' Hades? I don't play dropzone commander, so sorry if thats a dumb question I just love that model and want to buy one when its released
Everything I say, barring quotes and researched information, is my personal opinion. Not fact.

I know. This is a variant Hades that hawk have today posted on their Facebook as part of this years advent calendar. Speculation is that it's Marcus Borros hades.

I initially wondered what on earth they were doing having 'old' models as this years Advent Calender but these models have some slight differences to represent them housing a 'famous commander'.
Looking forward to the Scourge ones as we are a bit starved fro HQ choices.
gf got me a desolator and Hades at Salute last year, while I love them both I'm thinking of scourgifying the Hades and using it as Cavebreaker's annihilator - shame that'll mean I can't use the Desolator though.
Will be very interesting to see what Hawk produce for the scourge, not a massive fan of the stock annihilator
Isis's particle cannon is terrifying on that skimmer chassis. A beautiful model that I can not wait to kill. That said, I want to see Salakhan. Anything to do with the M3 Alexander makes me incredibly happy.
Also found some more artwork on their facebook page from their advent calendar. Put it under the spoiler tag.
Spoiler:
Scourge Razorworm:
Shaltari Brave:
Scourge Warrior:

Very cool! Although everyone I know is jumping into Star Wars Armada, so dropfleet is going to have competition. It's a slightly different market, and maybe the rising tide of space game popularity will raise all boats, but the timing might be unfortunate.
