Dropfleet Commander 2 Player Starter Set * * PRE-ORDER OCT 18th * * – £80.00
THIS ITEM IS ON PRE-ORDER TO BE RELEASED ON OCT 18TH. IF YOUR BASKET CONTAINS ANY ITEMS ON PRE-ORDER, YOUR ENTIRE ORDER WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL THAT DATE.
It is 2679, and war rages on a galactic scale. After almost a decade on the offensive against the vile alien Scourge, the United Colonies of Mankind are battle-scarred but unbroken. Its Reconquest, a grand endeavour to reclaim its heartlands and Earth itself, hangs in the balance. A mighty new generation of utilitarian warships and vengeful soldiers rush to the frontlines, in spite of that UCM’s alliances with other human factions are crumbling, the parasites are fighting back viciously, and a previously unknown threat has emerged.
The Bioficers—ancient, corrupted artificial intelligences—have observed mankind’s aptitude for cataclysmic violence, and it pleases them. Biology is their clay. They can vaporise it, ingest it, and shape it. Their bio-drones are woven in minutes and might be
any shape that nightmares can conjure. Their ships are uniquely advanced, focused, and utterly lethal. They have no grand strategy and no goal besides revelling in war and the slow suffering of capable prey. They are a factor apart and may be the greatest threat sentient life has ever faced.This box includes:

THIS ITEM IS ON PRE-ORDER TO BE RELEASED ON OCT 18TH. IF YOUR BASKET CONTAINS ANY ITEMS ON PRE-ORDER, YOUR ENTIRE ORDER WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL THAT DATE.
The year is 2679. 160 years ago humanity was evicted from their home, invaded by the terrifying Scourge. A parasitic race determined to capture or kill every living being, they overwhelmed mankind’s defences.
Humanity escaped to the Colonies, abandoning Earth and the Cradle Worlds to their attackers. Now the United Colonies of Mankind have come back, fighting a bitter war for their home known as the Reconquest. They are beset on all sides not just from the Scourge, but the ancient alien Shaltari, the abandonists of the Post-Human Republic, and even on occupied worlds by the embittered Resistance.Dropfleet Commander is a game of planet-bound fleet combat in the far future. Command fleets of colossal warships, unleash strike craft and deploy your ground forces in strategic naval battles above a war-torn planet.
Seizing ground and space objectives wins games, but a fierce tactical acumen is needed to act and react to your opponents moves. Predicting the flow of battle and directing your ships to counter your opponents and ensure the safe deployment of ground assets is key.
Written by David J Lewis, Scott Burns and Robin Gillie, this 64 page rulebook contains the 2.0 version rules. With everything you need to deploy your forces, including scenarios to play and help building your fleet for games. Take your battles into the atmosphere and help (or stop) the Reconquest!

A tiny portion of humanity turned its back on mankind in the waning days of the last Golden Age. Over one and a half centuries later, the PHR have emerged from the shadows as an unrecognisable civilisation, its people irrevocably changed. They are no longer simple human beings, they are post-humans – cyborgs.
A society no more than three billion strong, the PHR is a nation of elites, each individual more than a match for several lesser mortals. With remarkable speed, they have made technological advancements surpassing those of the UCM. Since its fiery birth, the PHR have been guided by the enigmatic White Sphere, a mysterious object of immense power. It is treated by the people of the PHR with a reverence bordering on worship.
The supremely tough PHR fleet delivers superlative firepower through massed weapon broadsides, producing a maximum damage output unmatched by other races. However, their limited fire arcs require a skillful hand at the helm to unleash a punishing double salvo.
This boxed set is the perfect way to get started with a PHR fleet or add to an existing one, since it can be configured to almost any requirement!
This box includes:
- 4 Frigates
- 3 Cruisers
- 7 Dropfleet Bases
- 1 Fastplay sheet

THIS ITEM IS ON PRE-ORDER TO BE RELEASED ON OCT 18TH. IF YOUR BASKET CONTAINS ANY ITEMS ON PRE-ORDER, YOUR ENTIRE ORDER WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL THAT DATE.
After humanity was almost annihilated they left Earth and the Cradle Worlds behind. But that wasn’t all that they left. Survivors of the Scourge invasion, Remnants of battles with Abandonists, and all those others that fell through the cracks were left for dead by the newly formed UCM.
Now, 160 years later, the survivors have banded together to form the Resistance, campaigning for freedom from alien invasion and from an overbearing government that deserted them. Taking to the skies in whatever ships they can cobble together, their time in the void has left the Resistance out-manned and out-gunned, but has bred some of the finest Admirals in the galaxy.
This box contains the perfect beginnings of a Resistance Fleet. With three Resistance Cruisers and four Resistance Frigates, your fleet can be built as the strict Kalium Kabal, the junkers of Vega Scrapfleet, or any group of Resistance in between! The ships in this set can be constructed in a myriad of ways, with each one different if you wish, all the better to show the various different types of Admiral that make up the eclectic Resistance Fleet.
With dozens of weapon and equipment options, the Resistance Fleet is perfect for a Commander looking for complete versatility in their Dropfleet Commander games.
This box includes:
- 4 Frigates
- 3 Cruisers
- 7 Dropfleet Bases
- 1 Fastplay sheet

THIS ITEM IS ON PRE-ORDER TO BE RELEASED ON OCT 18TH. IF YOUR BASKET CONTAINS ANY ITEMS ON PRE-ORDER, YOUR ENTIRE ORDER WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL THAT DATE.
The Shaltari are an ancient and highly developed species. Their technology is advanced to a level of sophistication rivalled only by its potency. They have traversed the stars for millennia, learned myriad truths, and have fought countless wars. Through their knowledge, the Shaltari transcend even death itself, and can endure indefinitely, perceiving the ebb and flow of time like no other race.
In battle, the Shaltari are fearsome adversaries. Their swiftness is unmatched, their firepower spectacular, their bravery undeniable. The beauty of their vessels belies their true nature; engines of death, honed to lethal perfection long before humanity learned to throw stones. They are peerless masters of technology.
The Shaltari fleet is a finely balanced blade poised to cut to the heart of any foe. Their gunnery skills and scanners are unrivalled, delivering death from ranges other races can only dream of. The extraordinarily advanced energy shields can be raised at will, protecting their fragile but stealthy ships from harm at the expense of visibility. Skilful captaincy and timely execution are rewarded with sublime victory.
This box includes:
- 4 Frigates
- 3 Cruisers
- 3 Voidgates
- 10 Dropfleet Bases
- 1 Fastplay sheet

Scourge Core Ships * * PRE-ORDER OCT 18th * * – £40.00
THIS ITEM IS ON PRE-ORDER TO BE RELEASED ON OCT 18TH. IF YOUR BASKET CONTAINS ANY ITEMS ON PRE-ORDER, YOUR ENTIRE ORDER WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL THAT DATE.
The alien Scourge arrived on Earth with very little warning some 160 years previous. Within hours they had overwhelmed humanity’s defences and were well on their way to enslaving all of mankind with Scourge parasites implanted into their brains. With devastating plasma weaponry and lightning fast tactics, the defenders had little chance to counter.
Their ships are faster than almost any encountered, relying on searing oculus beams and deadly close action weaponry to eradicate any opponents before subjugating the remaining survivors. Silent and utterly alien, a human fleet can be deep within a Scourge trap before even realising they’re under attack.
This box contains the perfect beginnings of a Scourge Fleet. With three Scourge Cruisers and four Scourge Frigates, you get a balanced force able to deal with most incoming threats – especially the well-armoured ones! The Cruisers in this set can be constructed in a number of ways, from the oculus-heavy Shenlong to the fleet carrying Hydra or the Chimera with its bulk landers. Even the Frigates come in five varieties. With poseable tendrils on rotating mounts, no two ships in your fleet need look the same.
This box includes:
- 3 Cruisers
- 4 Frigates
- 7 Dropfleet Bases
- 1 Fastplay sheet

Sind die Schiffe alle aus Hartplastik? Oder nur die in der Grundbox und der Rest Resin?
Die Grundeinheiten (kleine Schiffe bis hin zu Kreuzern) sind bei allen Fraktionen aus Hartplastik und auch als sep. Boxen erhältlich. Die Ergänzungen im Blister sind aus Resin. TTCombat hat alles im Onlineshop gelistet, da steht dann auch in der Beschreibung das Material. Da sie mit der neuen Edition auch die Range komplett neu aufgelegt haben, fehlt im Moment noch ein einfacher Überblick, was aus Resin und was aus Plastik ist.
Leider sind TTC da teilweise noch nicht ganz konsistent in der Website-Beschreibung. Bei den kleinen UCM-Schiffen ist z. B. der Hinweis für Plastikschiffe dazugeschrieben, es handelt sich aber um Resinminiaturen: https://ttcombat.com/collections/dropfleet-commander/products/ucm-smallships-pre-order-oct-11th-copy
Im Grunde kann man aber sagen: Die Grundboxen und ihre individuellen Komponenten (Kreuzer und Fregatten) sind Hartplastik, genau wie die Jäger/Bomber/Torpedos. Der Rest ist Resin. Lydran hat das sehr korrekt zusammengefasst.
Also die großen Schiffe der UCM scheinen ein kleines Facelift bekommen zu haben. Die wirken jetzt schlanker als früher. Und auch die kleinen Fregatten sind mMn leicht verändert worden – und es sind jetzt 6 in der Box anstatt wie früher 4.
Die anderen 4 alten Fraktionen haben aber noch deren alte Bausätze.
Meinst Du, ob die arg blöd neben den alten aussehen werden? Das habe ich nämlich bei Dystopian Wars recht negativ erlebt.
Bezweifel ich, zumal es bei Dropfleet immer recht gut mit dem Fluff zu erklären ist, dass Schiffe sich leicht ändern und im Verlauf der RÜckeroberung neue Varianten auf den Markt kommen.
Denke ich auch. Bei der Rückeroberung gab es ja massive Verluste bei der Flotte. Da ist es nur logisch, dass die zwar die alten Klassen weiterproduzieren, aber mittlerweile einige kleine Verbesserungen und Vereinfachungen eingeführt wurden.
Bei den Bioficers haben sie mMn. die weniger schönen Schiffe präsentiert. Im Shop gibt es noch mehr Modelle und jeweils die Rückseite zu sehen. Man kann für jede Klasse eine schöne Version bauen und oberflächlich könnte das eine coole Flotte ergeben.
Wenn man aber genau hinschaut finde ich diese Extremitäten weiterhin befremdlich. Manchmal scheinen sie ein Antrieb zu sein und manchmal nicht. Dabei schauen sie wie Schlitzschrauben aus.
