Dystopian Wars: November Neuheiten

Im November stechen erneut Schiffe der Großmächte im Dystopian Age in See, mit zwei 2-Fraktionen Boxen und drei Flotten-Erweiterungen für Dystopian Wars.

Beyond The Hunt for the Prometheus – 55,00 GBP

After Helsinki Markov’s treachery stole the Prometheus away from its creators there has been a bitter rivalry between the Covenant of the Enlightened and the Commonwealth. Certain Peers of the Enlightened have decided to make an example of the Commonwealth for such an audacious heist and show that they have as much military influence as any of the Great Powers. As for the Okhrana, the Commonwealth Intelligence Service, they hope for more secrets of the age to be unlocked by luring the various automata and advanced enemy vessels into engagements that they can’t hope to escape from. With the plan of dissecting any captured inventions for reverse engineering.

With the help of Mongolian offshore platforms and a web of false leads, the Okhrana have orchestrated for an Enlightened battlefleet to be in place for an ambush. The Commonwealth now has engineering marvels of their own in the shape of Vitruvian Colossi. Will the Enlightened fall for the trap or have the Commonwealth bitten off more than they can chew?

Beyond The Sturginium Skies – 55,00 GBP

The Labrador Sea had barely stopped roiling when the call for reinforcements went out. Both the Crown and Imperium lost vessels and both were too proud to leave control of the Labrador Sea to the other. Where they differ, however, is their response to the conflict. The Crown sent word to have a battlefleet assemble which is now on its way from the United Kingdom while the Imperium mobilised the Teutonic Knights and used its efficient logistical chain to assemble a battle platform, defended by Vitruvian Colossi, to maintain hold on the area before more support can arrive.

The fight was thought to be over but it seems to have been merely a break in the storm. The Sturginium Skies boil with battle once again. Who will claim the Labrador Sea as their own, the Crown or the Imperium?

Protecteur Battlefleet Set – 44,00 GBP

Huge submersible strike carriers, the Protecteur class was the brainchild of Canadian Frank Andrew Fleming and his assistants at the Davie Shipyard. The Protecteur uniquely combines the capacity of a large support carrier with the stealth and strike capabilities of an attack submersible.

The Newfoundland Class Cruisers the mainstay of the Canadian offering to The Crown’s naval forces. These impressive warships are therefore the stalwart frontline in the Crown’s defence against Union expansionist ambitions, as well as any other factions who dare to encroach upon the Crown’s dominion.

Built on the Newfoundland hull design and outfitted to support fleet operations, the Toronto class Control Cruisers have a vital role in coordinating Canada’s defences. The installation of a McGill radar array above the bridge provides an impressive fire control suite. While similar in design and Providing a powerful combination of heavy firepower and an ablative armoured prow, the Bonaventure class serves in the Dominion of Canada’s fiercest fighting in the Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Arthur McCurdy’s augmented shield generator technology was arguably the most groundbreaking use of the tried and tested Guardian Generator. This huge device is mounted on the Halifax Shield Cruiser, and projects even greater protection to critical elements of Canadian battlefleets.

Designed for supporting and reinforcing Canada’s fleet actions, the Yukon class are especially good at establishing blockades and disrupting threats to shipping lanes.

Often the threats to Canada can be deterred or even destroyed long before they engage more visible elements of the Crown battlefleets. Orca Hunter Submarines are silent pack hunters.

The Protecteur Battlefleet Set kit builds seven multi-part plastic and resin miniatures:

• 1x Protecteur Submersible Carrier
• 2x Canadian Frontline Cruiser
  • Each cruiser can alternatively be built as either a Newfoundland, Bonaventure, Halifax, Toronto or Yukon Class ship
• 4x Orca Hunter Submarine
• 2x SRS Token

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.

The Testbed ship for Nikolai Tesla’s revolutionary Arc technologies, the USS Mexico is often sent into the heart of engagements against the enemies of the Union. The results of these engagements make for precious study material at The Pipeworks.

The Union fleet has seen a number of technological improvements since the defection of Nikolai Tesla from the Imperium, and a significant overall increase since the end of the Ore War. Support Cruisers and Automata have all been upgraded by the creative team in the Pipeworks. The Washington Missile Cruiser serves to increase the long-range firepower of the battlefleet as well as providing additional cover against enemy aircraft. Armed with Kettering pattern cruise missiles, the crew of Washington class vessels often make use of observation rotors and spotters in fighter squadrons to ensure the deadly payload strikes true.

The Roanoke Strike Carriers provide air support to any fleets they are attached to. These Cruisers employ powerful electromagnetic catapults to rapidly launch their Corsair strike fighters into the fray; the Roanoke carrier is a valuable vessel in the Union fleet. The class was named after the Union naval base on Roanoke Island, destroyed in 1862 during the Ore War.

A rarer sight are the new Discovery Class Arc Cruisers. Given sufficient development from The Pipeworks to be given general deployment in the Union Fleet, the Discovery class are replete with Edwina Houston and Nikolai Tesla’s Arc technologies. These deadly state of the art weapons can flash burn through the hulls of the mightiest enemy battleships in a burst of incandescence.

Finally, with a reputation for working miracles, the crews of Montgomery support ships are always a welcome addition to any battlefleet. Scores of repair teams use a combination of flight gear and escort craft to effect repairs and rescue to friendly vessels in need. These ships are also able to provide field repairs to the RC-52 Patriot Automata. These towering simulacra are designed by the brilliant theoretical engineers at The Pipeworks, and are the largest automata in the Union’s military. Just like smaller automata, over time their adaptive computations develop quirks that give veteran Automata distinctive personalities.

The Mexico Battlefleet Set kit builds seven multi-part plastic and resin miniatures:

• 1x USS Mexico
• 2x Union Support Cruisers
  • Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as Discovery, Roanoke, California, Montgomery or Washington Class
• 4x RC-52 Patriot Automata
• 2x SRS Tokens

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.

Retaj Battlefleet Set – 44,00 GBP

Sinister vessels crewed entirely from the cult of the Order, the Retaj Portalship is beyond the limit of the scientific and engineering expertise of the Sultanate. Indeed it is beyond even the esoteric designs of the Enlightened. Able to create stable rifts in the aether and allow entire ships to pass through, these fantastic energies can be harnessed and repurposed most lethally.

Carolus Destroyers are formidable indeed. Crewed entirely by the devout members of the martial religious group known as the Order, they answer only to Sircan Osman on behalf of the Sultan.

The Retaj Battlefleet Set kit builds six multi-part plastic and resin miniatures:

• 1x Retaj Portalship
• 4x Carolus Destroyer

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.
