The new race for dropzone is the human resistance.
I like the models kind of mad max style not sure how they will they will fit in to a dropship game style though]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5955038.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5955038.page GMT dropzone commander new race http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5955052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5955052.page GMT Re:dropzone commander new race

United Colonies of Mankind: These men and women are the survivors of the Scourge invasion that escaped and successfully fled to the outer colonies. They have rebuilt with the sole purpose of reconquest.

Post Human Republic: The descendants of the followers of the white sphere. Pre-Scourge invasion they left in a mass exodus that culminated in a mini-civil war. This civil war arguably weakened the current human space forces to such a degree that defense against the Scourge was all but impossible. They did not reappear until just prior to the launch of the UCM's war of reconquest. Their entire culture now takes technology to the next level in the form of trans-human cybernetic augmentations.

Resistance: These are the fragments of humanity's prior civilization mentioned in the core rule-book who managed to remain autonomous on the cradle worlds after the Scourge invasion (likely through sheer tenacity, cunning, and luck). Their existence was a shock to the UCM who believed that no one would have survived the Scourge massacre.

They aren't "Switching" to plastic, merely bringing out a plastic starter set. And its not an old medium, resins are taking off at the moment, as they are great for operations with smaller casting runs, like most new and up and coming companies.

Lots of the guys now make everything in resin, and when something shows that it is viable through enough sales, gets upgraded to a plastic kit. Jumping to plastics for a new race without any indication of how it will sell would be foolhardy. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5955396.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5955396.page GMT Re:dropzone commander new race

I realize resin isn't old in time, just THEIR old method of casting.

Resin is a great medium for small manufacturers, but for larger companies causes too many problems. It would be great for them if they moved completely to plastic, didn't realize is was ONLY going to be for the starter set.

Basically if they only do this set in plastic and not expand the rest of the range to that then I just won't get into it. There's enough out there trying to get my money, and price wise the resin costs of their models is too much for me.

Obviously, at his level even if he did intend to move everything to plastics, he cannot afford to invest in new plastic molds for a new untested faction, that's potential suicide for a small company. Lots of other companies on the same level do the same thing.

Warmachine/Hordes
Dreamforge
Malifaux

You prototype it in Metal/Resin and if enough of those are sold, you can trust that it will sell in Plastic.

Spoiler:
The amount of detail dzc coaxed out of the resin is what makes it worthwhile for me, I am not interested in sacrificing quality to make it easier for children to assemble.

I think their dropships could be things like re-purposed Haulers and commercial transport ships.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5955966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5955966.page GMT Re:dropzone commander new race

If that was the case I would buy this race without hesitation. The Resistance has a ton of potential.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5955981.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5955981.page GMT Re:dropzone commander new race

Out of interest where did you find out that only the starter set is being done in plastic? The way Ive read the articles it looks like he's made nice with a plastics manufacturer who previously has t entered into the miniature game business. This could be very lucrative for both of them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5956103.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/546563/5956103.page GMT Re:dropzone commander new race GLA...
