Planetfall: Starterset vorgestellt
Spartan Games gehen aufs Ganze und bringen die ersten produkte für Planetfall auf den Markt!
Und so sieht das Ganze aus:
Location: Proteus Prime – an abandoned world, named by Terquai Scientists after the shape changing Greek Mythological sea-god.
- Core Forces: Aquan Prime and Directorate
- Allied Forces: Terquai and Works Raptor
Proteus Prime: a desolate and ancient world, inhabited only by a far-flung Terquai science outpost, has become a warzone. Directorate Battle Groups scour the surface for evidence of a hidden technology, long since lost to the galaxy. The Aquan Prime, eager to stop this technology falling into enemy hands has despatched its own ground forces to neutralise the threat.
The Directorate, with its Works Raptor allies, want the technology and are willing to eradicate all who stand before them to get it. The Aquans and Terquai allies will do anything to stop them.
Und das ist alles drin:

Außerdem gibt es die Allianztruppen für beide Fraktionen:
Works Raptor:
The Allied expansion Helixes allow owners of the Aquan and Directorate forces from the Proteus Prime Boxed Set to immediately expand their forces. In the rules up to TWO Allied Helixes can be added to each Core Helix deployed into the heart of a ground battle.
Works Raptor ground forces are, like their space fleets, all about stabbing the enemy in the heart. The ‘Witch’ Interceptors are sleek, fast and deadly, and a match for any aerial foe. The Light Recon Tanks are all about capturing strategic objectives, and then having the fighting prowess to hold on to it. Also included in the Helix is a crashed Works Raptor Escape Pod which can be used as part of a narrative driven scenario, or simply as a Strategic Objective.
- 3 x GX-74 ‘Witch’ Heavy Interceptor
- 5 x LR-6 Recon Tank
- 1 x Crashed Escape Pod (60mm x 40mm scenic base)
Die Works Raptor Erweiterung kostet 20,00 Pfund.
Und die Terquai:
The Allied expansion Helixes allow owners of the Aquan and Directorate forces from the Proteus Prime Boxed Set to immediately expand their forces. In the rules up to TWO Allied Helixes can be added to each Core Helix deployed into the heart of a ground battle.
The Terquai are close allies of the Aquan Prime, and this Recon Helix is intended to aid Aquan forces in harassing their opponents. The Heavy Gunship lays down devastating fire, while itself soaking up enemy attacks, and can be used to deploy Temporal Portals onto a battlefield. The flexibility of this Helix though comes from the two cadres of Heavy Infantry Drones which can use the Temporal Portals to be transported instantaneously into battle zones.
- 1 x Iophon Heavy Gunship
- 10 x Bases of Nabis Heavy Infantry (2 Full Cadres)
- 2 x Temporal Portals (60mm x 40mm scenic base)
Die Terquai Erweiterung kostet 20,00 Pfund.
Und dann gibt es noch das Geländeset:
Building a battlefield quickly and cost effectively is something Spartan Games have a put a lot of thought into. Many Helix Boxes come with buildings already included, but a good battlefield needs plenty of terrain. Inside this box are modular military style bunkers that range from small cuboid assemblies to an L-shaped structure, up to an extra-large bunker.
The building supports are made from acrylic for strength (provided clear so gamers can choose whatever colour scheme they wish to paint them) and into them you can quickly and easily slot digitally pre-printed walls, sides and roofs. These components are made from a durable, high quality laminated card, making the finished building sturdy and strong. The material is double sided and comes pre-cut.
- 1 x Extra Large Installation/Bunker (193mm x 163mm x 50mm)
- 2 x Large Bunkers (154mm x 106mm x 40mm)
- 2 x Medium Bunkers/Building (100mm x 77mm x 37mm) (One is an L-shape)
- 6 x Small Buildings (45mm x 50mm x 34mm)
- 6 x Scenic Resin Drops (30mm Hexagonal Shape)
Das Geländeset kostet 37,50 Pfund.

Das Design vieler Einheiten erinnert stark an Mechwarrior Dark Age von Wizkids. Selbst der Maßstab ist gleich.
Endlich hab ich auch meine Starterbox bekommen (und gleich wieder alle Modelle Verkauft).
Ich muss sagen, das die Modelle echt toll sind und in live noch besser wirken!
Ich denke die rgeln sind gut, aber das Regelbuch hat einige Kinderkrankheiten.
Da wird es wohl bald V1.1 geben.
