TTCombat: Neue Dropzone Commander Armour Battlegroups

Für Dropzone Commander erschienen Verstärkungsboxen für alle Fraktionen.

Neben der vorgestellten UCM-Armour Battlegroup erscheinen auch Sets für die Shaltari, Resistance, PHR und Scourge für je 35£.

Humanities’ conquest of earth and the war against the Scourge is leading to exciting new developments in weaponry.  A stripped-down Wolf variant, the Jackals are much easier and cheaper to mass produce. Fitted with a Requiter Organ Gun designed the deal with smaller enemy vehicles, the Jackal can also handle hostile infantry. Whilst some buildings and cover are expendable, some strategic locations are crucial. Therefore the Dingo is a novel unit which can fire quick-acting Reinforcement Cement that when applied can give a crumbling structure a new lease of life. This Light Armour Battlegroup contains 3 Katana Light Tanks, a pair of Jackal/Dingo LAVs, Twin Longbow Howitzers, 2 Titania Ravens and a single Titania Condor.

Bio-warfare is just one of the ways that the scourge lay waste to there enemies. The Ravenor laser walkers are no exception, through the use of pheromones’, the scourge will descend swarms of insects on the enemy, making around the area an impossible task. Some times these weapons of war bring a Energy clusters that can melt through any close range targets. Making up the core of this Battlegroup is 2 Ravenor Laser Walkers supported by a large Arthropod, 3 Ravage AA Beetles and a Harbinger Dropship.

The Luna Gunship is an up-gunned variant of the Proeteus and features a Huntsman Cluster in addition to a pair of Sunglaives. Therefore the Luna is capable of laying down a devastating amount of firepower. The Huntsman Cluster alone is made up of several of the main turret weapons of the Juno APC, while only forward facing, they are surprisingly accurate, even when moving at full speed. The Starglaive Pair is a miniature version of the Sunglaives found on the Tethys. Like their larger counterparts, these glaives can be overcharged to break through even the toughest armour. A crucial part of any army, this Armour Battlegroup is a must-have for PHR players. Inside you’ll find 2 Zeus Guardian Walkers, 2 Menchit Wlakers, a single fast-moving Luna Gunship and finally 2 Neptune Dropships.

For speed over rough terrain, The Resistance has developed the Attila Trackwalker into a rapid response unit. Their ability to traverse uneven terrain is unequal and they are capable of close-quarter fighting thanks to a Welding Clamps which tear enemies apart. Easily able to crack enemy hulls apart, the clamps can be substituted for Anti-Material Guns. Besides the 3 Attila Trackwalkers, this Battlegroup is supported by a single Attack Hovercraft, 2 Cyclone Attack Helicopters, a Tempest Interceptor and finally a Hydra Hovercraft.

The new Widow is a rather peculiar walker that is lightly armed and armoured but capable of scaling buildings like a Tarantula. Its minor panels provide it with a modicum of protection, making it appear where it isn’t and obfuscating where it is. Equipped with Braydon Carbines designed to deal with infantry or light vehicles. Armour Battlegroups are critical for Shaltari Commander and contains multiple support units. This set contains 2 Widow Battlewalkers, a Jaguar and a Leopard Warstrider, A Dreamsnare Shieldstrider to protectitst allies and finally, 2 Zion Gates.
