Critical Mass Games - 15mm MERCENARIES

.
300th Post, Baby!


Welcome to my 300th post on Dropship Horizon!


Monday will see the release of the much awaited Protolene Khanate range from Critical Mass Games but the goodness from Critical Mass doesn't stop there!

I'm delighted to be given the opportunity to announce that Critical Mass Games will be releasing the first three packs of their new MERCENARIES range on December 21st.

Packs MERC1 & MERC2 will contain one each of the five unique character figures shown in the photos below for £2.50.

Merc2 £2.50

These new minis open up a whole new range of fantastic opportunities on the tabletop - they can be used as Alien Mercs, Bounty Hunters, Agents and the denizens of a thousand starports, a thousand bars and cantinas.

MERC3 will contain 3 19mm tall Recon Drone Walkers and is £3.20.

Merc3 £3.20

The MERCS range will be expanded over the next year with packs containing some additional figures not shown here. These will be sold in dedicated packs of that type with 3-4 variants and 6-8 figures per pack.

Over the next few days I will be posting more exclusive colour photos of packs 1-3 from the Merc range plus photos of the additional miniatures mentioned above. So make sure you keep an eye on Dropship Horizon for updates!

300th Post
Xmas Present

To celebrate 300 posts on Dropship Horizon I'm going to give three lucky gamers something extra for Christmas!

My thanks to Craig and Dale at Critical Mass Games for making this possible by generously providing pre-production castings from their new Merc range. Thanks fellas!

Two lucky gamers will receive one each of packs Merc1, Merc2, Merc3 as illustrated above.

One further gamer will receive not only one each of packs Merc1, Merc2, Merc3 illustrated above, but also an advance pack of the additional Mercs, not otherwise available until the new year.

Details of how to take part in the Xmas Pressie give away will be provided during the course of this week. So stay tuned.

Finally, my very genuine THANKS to everyone who has supported, contributed to, or followed Dropship Horizon over the past 11 months.


Cheers
Mark

  10. I would like to echo the sentiments posted here. My awareness of 15mm sci-fi brands has increased tremendously, and I enjoy dropping by each day.
