Yeah, those smooth patches on the behemoth don't look good. Looks like a rush job.

I gather from the tick tock that young people are all about the mechscaping. Makes the cannon look bigger or something.

Teaser Tuesday – New Event Exclusives!

Oh that 32mm model looks nice.
DzC Skirmish / squad based game when?

That gun looks bendy

Wow the anomaly ship looks so cool! I want several of them

I wonder what the anomaly could be. More aliens?

Or just a random, one-off thing. They've done an Automated Dreadnought and Ether Drake previously (but IIRC they were for a different game originally).

Yeah those were intended as a test to see interest in a Stellaris board game, but that was it. The Dropfleet rules have been added after fan demand.
The ship could be just another human ship from an isolated colony similar to kalium. But new aliens could be cool, too! They teased something ancient in the recent short story.

32mm Warrior plasma gun is weird. I get the 10mm not having the gauntlets, but not a fan of the upscaled gun.

Completely meh on yet another 28mm+ skirmish game. There's a niche for zone and fleet, but that path leads to an ocean of competition.

The anomaly ship is interesting, reminds me of the Loa from Sword of the Stars II. (A terrible game, do not play it, seriously)

I love the ship and the 32mm Scourge. I need them both.

What short story? Is it on their blog?

Are the Stellaris minis ever going to hit retail? Have they said?

The story can be downloaded as a PDF here: https://community.ttcombat.com/2022/05/28/a-void-beneath-the-tartarus/#more-13352

As far as I know there were no plans to release the Stellaris minis, unfortunately. I would love to pick up some more of them :/

Thank you for the link.

Looks like I’ll have to use some other companies’ spaceships for the dreadnaughts.

Nice, I like the Scourge warrior, very interested in a 32mm Droptroop game or at least the miniatures

I would not get my hopes up about a Dropzone 32mm game. There are so many games out there that would already cover the same aspects. Only caveat would be a very small game to play out close quarter battles inside the scenery pieces. But i would be really surprised if they actually create such a game.

From the description in that story, this anomaly ship matches the ancient technology that the PHR are secretly fighting.

TTC have the resistance behemoth on display at UKGE

I hate the posing. It looks so awkward and unnatural. Same for the claws, and the whisker guns.

I think the long gun is also a work-in-progress, it looks like there's some unfinished surfaces; either that or its just kinda boring.

I think this might be the first one to have a spread greater than 3", because it looks well over 6" in length.

Wow that's uh
Certainly an er
Thing.

Event Exclusives are in the store, and rules are up for The Anomaly (and it's an NPC).

I kinds like it, but at the same time think it looks like a high tech Nike shoe, and there is no way it could actually walk. Detailing is well done, almost enough to hide how ridiculous the legs are.

I'm not a fan. I can see that they're going for a bigger version of the Pizzaro, put that doesn't work...

I think give it a more dynamic pose and that's freaking cool.

I’m just not sure how dynamically you could pose it.

If the front could turn to the side slightly it might be better, but it has a giant vertical-only joint you can see. You get downward-facing-dog or plank. That's it.

I can't tell at all what you could do with the claws.

I see all the elements of the Pizzaro in the model, but the Pizzaro was designed to hunt mega-fauna. This thing is supposed to be an industrial excavator. They should look nothing alike. None of the concept art made me think it was an up-scaled Pizzaro.

There's two potentially cool looking vehicles there, but put them together and it looks awful - like one is eating the other.

Hmmm...dumbed-down Zoids. Not a fan.

Even miniatures are doing the Jack-O Challenge.
Yeah, that's not a good model.

That’s almost how I interpreted it. I was reminded of that Key and Peele skit about Ice T’s dog. I get that it’s supposed to evoke a truck hauling a trailer or something, but the most SFW description I can give it is “Mecha human-centipede.”

What a crazy model.

Ugh. Fetch, good boy!

That model is in the 'downward dog' yoga pose. A different pose would make it look just fine.
