Dystopian Wars: Januar Neuheiten

Warcradle haben auch in diesem Monat wieder Neuheiten für Dystopian Wars veröffentlicht.

DYSTOPIAN WARS

This month is packed full of releases for Dystopian Wars; from the introduction of the Icarus and Heilong Battlefleet Sets to the Faction Battlefleet Starter Sets and even the Squadrons – there’s a lot to look forward to.

Icarus Battlefleet Set

One of the largest vessels built by the Yemoja shipyards in Mombasa, the Icarus features multiple vertical magnetic catapults that can simultaneously launch squadrons of fighters. The class has fabrication and repair facilities comparable to a small naval base and makes use of these to maintain the Icarus’ squadrons and lend support to other vessels in the battlefleet.

Detailed drafts for the Daedalus class Fortified Tethership were found in the personal effects of the renegade Covenant Peer Gjenge Matee. Faithfully following her design, her Promethean Complex produced a marvel of Enlightened naval power. These versatile vessels are especially suited as the flagship of a combined flotilla of aerial and surface ships.

This box contains:

• 1x Icarus Aeronautic Fabricator (can also be built as a Daedalus Fortified Tethership)
• 2x Cruisers (can be built as either a Lovelace, Copernicus, Antarctica, Stiletto, Ulysses or Chatelet Class ship)
• 6 x Frigate Automata (can be built as either a Germain, Merian, Caidin or Prevost pattern ship)
• 2x SRS Tokens

Heilong Battlefleet Set

The largest vessel produced by the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, the Heilong strike battleship emphasises combined attacks with deadly rocket and Huoqiang fire to annihilate its foes. A heavy assault ramp replaces the prow of the Ergun assault battleship. Volleys of alchemical rockets and gun battery fire pummel into enemy emplacements and shore defences, as the vessel closes in, then with a clash of metal, the ramp descends and the assault begins. Scores of heavy infantry pour forth to storm the defenders and sweep away all resistance.

The Tianlong Draconic Colossus uses a combination of rotor engines and repulsion fields to remain aloft. Originally created to patrol the airspace near the Zhanmadao Sky Fortresses and Ziwei Sky Bastions, the Tianlong swoop down, their skilled crews getting the most out of these marvels of Engineering.

Empire combat doctrine favours clusters of rockets launched in devastating salvos against a single foe. The Shanghai Frigates are designed with this tactic in mind, mounting Dongfeng pattern rocket batteries.

This box contains:

• 1x Battleship (can be built as either a Heilong or Ergun Class ship)
• 1x Tianlong Draconic Colossus
• 1x Cruiser (can be built as either a Jian, Wusong, Meru or Dao Class ship)
