Dystopian Wars: Neues Battlefleet-Set kommt Ende August
Warcradle haben für den kommenden Monat ein Battlefleet-Set für die Enlightened und den separaten Release des Dystopian Wars-Würfelsets angekündigt.
This August, a new Battlefleet Set is ready to appear out of seemingly thin air to strike their foes, and the Dystopian Wars Dice Set becomes available as a separate release.
The Enlightened have been lying in wait, biding their time as they ready an ambush from below. The Xenophon Battlefleet Set features a host of vessels that are perfect for Enlightened fleets looking to harness the element of surprise to their advantage.
Also releasing in August is the Dystopian Wars Dice Set, an individual release of the familiar dice set you know from our Two Player Starter Sets and Faction Battlefleets.
These are due to be released at the end of August 2024.
Xenophon Battlefleet Set
They seemed to come from nowhere without warning. The Alliance battlefleet of Italian vessels had no time to prepare, barely even enough to power up heat lances.
Fighters slashed the sky as Amo Carrier Frigates broke the surface following their submerged approach, small hatches opened on their surface, and small drones launched into the sky almost immediately. The Enlightened formations remained uniform as they closed the distance, pre-programmed and soulless.
From another direction came the flagship. The Xenophon Battlecruiser ploughed through the waves, still glistening wet from its underwater surprise attack. Particle beams pierced the hulls of Alliance vessels as men still ran to battlestations. The screams of steel and souls were drowned out by the screech of Enlightened Scythe Fighters, strafing the set-upon ships, aiming to exacerbate the damage caused.
Finally, as disarray swept across the Alliance fleet, almost as if it were a tangible encompassing cloud, then came the Lovelace cruisers. Striking deep at the heart of the enemy, more green beams of light sliced across filigree armour plates and pierced deep into gaping holes in the superstructure of larger vessels that were as yet unsunk.
Before long, it was over, with the victims of the attack never knowing why. It might have been a territorial dispute or something altogether more esoteric in the minds of the Enlightened officers. By the time the wavelurking ships submerged, there was little left to show what had happened. Flaming patches of oil, an occasional lifeboat that went unnoticed and some potential salvage for whoever passed this way next.
This box contains:
1x Xenophon Battlecruiser (may also be built as Kepler or Loew Class)
2x Lovelace (may also be built as Stiletto, Copernicus, Ulysses, Chatelet or Antarctica Class)
6x Amo (may also be built as Merian variants)
2x SRS Tokens

Für ein Enlightened Flagschiff ist die Xenophon echt chick
^^ Der Großteil der Dystopian Wars Community wartet eigentlich auf den Release von Armoured Clash. Aber gut, gibt es in der Zwischenzeit einen Schlachtkreuzer für die Enlightened. Dieser beruht auch wieder auf einem Design für den Covenant aus der späten Spartan Games Ära.
Gut schaut das Schiff schon aus, wirkt für mich unter den anderen Elightened Schiffen aber ein wenig wie ein Fremdkörper, da es mehr wie eine große Hochsseejacht aussieht…
Wäre interessant, wie die neben den alten Covenant of Antarctica Schiffen aussehen würden. Das hindert mich nämlich noch ein wenig am Wiedereinstieg. Ich habe viele alte Sachen, die ich eigentlich nicht alle durch Neukauf ersetzen möchte. Aber ich befürchte, das sieht dann bei Kombination so aus, als ob Steroidpumper zusammen mit Marathonläufern in die Seeschlacht juckeln…
also die alten Platos passen wirklich eher so semi in die Flotte, beim Rest sehe ich das nicht so, Schade ist nur das man das Aristoteles Schlachtschiff nicht wirklich spielen kann. Hoffe das da noch was kommt.
Verdammt das Xenophon Battlefleet Set brauch ich, der Schlachtkreuzer ist übelst schick
