Dystopian Wars: August Neuheiten

Während im August normalerweise die Temperaturen steigen, wird es im Dystopian Age frostig, mit dem Erscheinen des Ice Maiden Battlefleet Set und weiterer Neuheiten für Dystopian Wars.

Ice Maiden Battlefleet Set – 85,00 GBP

It was the invention of Pycrete, acquired by the Knight-Luminary Herman Mark, that enabled the first Ice Maiden ever built. The concept of a ship constructed out of a hollowed-out iceberg was initially greeted with some scepticism but after the initial tests, it was deemed worth further exploration. The initial prototype vessel was named the Eiskalte Schoenheit, and, being the very first ever constructed, lacked some of the later technologies of her sisters. Her unique size and strength at sea ensured she dominated any naval engagement.

With a displacement in excess of 100,000 tonnes and a crew of over 6,000, the Ice Maiden Dreadnought Super-Carriers are the largest vessels in the Imperium’s navy. They each boast a complement of sixty Messer strike fighters, a dozen Blitzen Bombers and enough supplies to ensure its squadrons can carry out a range of sorties wherever needed.
The SMS Prinzessin Wilhelmina was the Flagship of the First Atlantic Fleet and pride of the Königlich Preußische Marine. Named after the Kaiser’s eldest daughter and heir to the Imperial Throne, this immense vessel gives an especially deadly version of the infamous ‚Kaiser Salute‘ with her six Heavy Volt Gun Batteries.

Whenever one of these mighty constructions are committed to a naval action they are invariably accompanied by a multitude of smaller support vessels and frontline cruisers to defend the behemoth from smaller, faster enemy craft. The weapons mounted in the bow of the Ice Maiden can easily and quickly be swapped out to fit the mission at hand much like almost all other ships in the Imperium Navy.

The Ice Maiden Battlefleet Set kit builds nineteen multi-part resin miniatures;

• 1x Ice Maiden Super-Carrier
• 6x Blucher Cruisers
  • Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Augustus, Schaumberg, Reiter, Volsung or Konrad Class depending on the build you choose for the Ice Maiden
• 6x Arminius Frigates
• 6x Sigimer Destroyers
  • Each Destroyer can alternatively be built as a Toten
• 6x SRS Tokens (3 SRS & 3 Special SRS)

Please note:

• Miniatures are supplied unpainted and some assembly will be required.
• Unit Cards are not included and can be found on the Dystopian Wars website.

Britannia Battlefleet Set – 40,00 GBP

The Britannia class Heavy Battleship is a testament to the might of the Crown and symbol of power in defence of her Dominions. Rumour of her mere presence in local waters has quelled uprisings and deterred piracy. Bristling with armaments and protected by thick steel armour and Guardian Generators these powerful vessels are the pride of the Royal Navy. The Britannia Class Battleship was ahead of her time when the first vessel was launched over three decades ago and has been in service ever since. Many of the latest battleships are now catching up with the engines, armour and weaponry equipped by the Britannia but she can still hold her own against any other Battleship on the water.

Over the last century Crown engineering technology has been ahead of the rest of the world and their naval superiority has earned them control of the seas. That control has been slipping for some time now and while her fleets are still numerous the Crown’s international dominance is no longer assured. The fleets still continue to have a presence across the globe and alongside the Britannia Class Battleships numerous Cruisers and Frigates can be found.

The most common Cruiser in the fleet is the Albion Cruiser. Armed with heavy gun turrets, broadside and torpedoes, this ship is the backbone of the Crown Fleet. Several modifications have been made to the Albion Hull design over the years such as the intimidating Lancelot Heavy Cruiser, the fast Picton and the lightly armed Bedivere. With so much coast to cover and such a large fleet the creation of the Sabre Class Command Cruiser enabled high ranking Naval officers to command Battlefleets from more numerous, smaller ships. These Command Ships allow the crown greater reach without the need for so many Battleships.

The Britannia Battlefleet Set kit builds seven multi-part resin miniatures;

• 1x Britannia Battleship
• 2x Albion Cruisers
  • Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Lancelot, Picton, Bedivere or Sabre Class
• 4x Caliburn Frigates

Please note:

• Miniatures are supplied unpainted and some assembly will be required.
• Unit Cards are not included and can be found on the Dystopian Wars website.

Union Frontline Squadrons – 23,00 GBP

Almost always found in support of large carriers and battleships are squadrons of frontline cruisers built to withstand direct engagement with enemy fleets. The Yorktown, Intrepid, Reliant and Lexington Class Cruisers all boast powerful paddle wheels allowing them to remain agile under fire all the while raining shells upon their enemies. These ships are in turn supported by the ever-vigilant Akron Observers. These rotors watch both the skies and the waves for signs of threats to their squadrons as well as acting as long-range observers for the gun crews on board the ships.

Farragut Frigates are also a common addition to any Union fleet. These small but manoeuvrable vessels are able to make fast raids against enemy squadrons or in even greater numbers, larger vessels such as Battleships.

The Union Frontline Squadrons kit builds eight multi-part resin miniatures;

• 2x Yorktown Class Cruisers
  • Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Intrepid, Lexington or Reliant Class
• 4x Farragut Class Frigates
• 2x Akron Observation Rotor

Please note:

• Miniatures are supplied unpainted and some assembly will be required.
• Unit Cards are not included and can be found on the Dystopian Wars website.

Islands and Archipelagos Set – 40,00 GBP

When negotiations between the Factions of the Dystopian Age break down or when only conflict will settle a dispute fleets clash. This can happen anywhere across the globe and in the heat of battle many a Captain has been caught out by a sandbank or tidal Island. Some larger islands even have modest fortresses and gun emplacements built on them to add protection to the secrets and supplies that lie within.

This set is ideal for adding scatter terrain to your Dystopian Wars tables.

Contains;

• 9x Resin Islands

Please note:

• Scenery is supplied unpainted and some assembly will be required.
