14 New Planetfall Models Available for Pre-Order!
Studio Sparta is pleased to announce our massive Spring 2013 Planetfall release: a tide of new models for the Dindrenzi Federation and Terran Alliance, escalating your planetary invasion to a new, even deadlier level.

Planetfall is a fast and furious game based on the idea of battles between sprawling squadrons of tanks, giant mechanised suits and agile VTOL aircraft. It will reward forward planning, intelligent manoeuvre and bold decisive tactics, providing exciting, fast-moving, action-packed combat. With this latest release, there has never been a better time to get involved in the action!

These models will be shipping from 19th April 2013. From today, you can place your advance orders with Studio Sparta to ensure you do not miss out on these exciting new releases.

For The Dindrenzi Federation

The war fleets of the Dindrenzi Federation have carved their way into the Storm Zone, scorching whole planets in their passing. Now they have seven deadly new machines to help swing the war against the Terran Alliance in their favour. The Pilum AA Vehicle to guard against dangerous air raids, the Gauntlet Neuro Suit to scythe down enemy infantry and the lighting fast and elusive Dagger Light Tank to outmanoeuvre cumbersome foes. The fearsome Black Rain Gunship complete with deadly sonic bombs, the unstoppable Kerberos Heavy Tank to lead the vanguard and the towering Minotaur Heavy Walker to hold any flank. Finally, the Haros HQ Barge armed with an immense Mangonel Rail Gun emerges to send the enemies of the Federation fleeing in terror. Each is available to buy individually or as part of the Squadrons listed below.

Not bad looking to be honest - nice to see a new entrant in the 6mm market (I assume its 6mm)

**spartan059**

I think that it's 10 mm scale actually.

**Hulksmash**

I thought it was 6mm, 15mm, and 28mm is what they were going for?

**Absolutionis**

Seriously? ANOTHER game?
Spartan Games got bored of Dystopian Wars already?

Well we already knew this was coming out for months though right?

from their website describing the game:

These titanic and world shaping conflicts are played out on the tabletop with stunningly detailed 10mm scale miniatures. All crafted to exemplify the hard sci-fi vision of the Firestorm Galaxy, these models work on the tabletop to create a thoroughly believable image of futuristic warfare.

**Justyn**

That's their offshoot studio? or is that part of the main company?

I only ask because I'd like to see these in person before buying. I want to see their actual size. scale means very little when you are making models of non-existent items. I would definitely think about purchasing some to use with Battletech though.

**Sikil**

I will buy some of the Terrans to use in DzC as generic Planetary Defence forces for senarios...

**scarletsquig**

Spartan does come across as a bit fragmented with its gaming systems, rushing out everything for a game, calling it done and then moving on.

It would be really nice if they slowed down a bit, maybe put some effort into getting their nice digital sculpts into hard plastic to lower their prices, increase the quality and really turn some heads.

**BrookM**

The models do look a bit bland and generic.

**Duncan_Idaho**

I like the models, but the game being released in three sizes everyone is sitting on the fences and waits for the others to make the first move.

**lord_blackfang**

I will be all over these when they release them in 15mm.

**RiTides**

I find it very interesting in 6mm... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

It seems to be a whole new world at that scale to me, as you could put so much on a table.

Not enough to get me to dive in yet, but Definitely piques my interest.
