On that bombshell! The Dragamaa Heavy Tank

Some say, he has rhinocerous blood and stole the alien blueprints from AREA 51. All we know is Craig at Critical Mass Games can paint a mean Dragamaa heavy tank!

The Cool Wall: The Gekotaa Armoured Car

.

Some say he hangs upside down like a bat and uses brushes made with Yeti fur. Nevertheless Craig at Critical Mass Games once again shows us how to pimp your 15mm Gekotaa ride with an exotic camo scheme.

Would Kristin Scott Thomas be happy for you to turn up and take her to dinner in a Gekotaa? If she was being chased by slavvering Zombie hordes or voracious alien flora - you bet!

INCOMING......15mm "Goddamn Sexual Tyrannosauruses"

.

As you know we are big fans of the original PREDATOR movie. Here's a Predator inspired game played back in April, earlier this year. And yes, whilst we played , the air was full of our best gutteral Arnie impersonations reliving classic lines from the movie, "Billy!"..."I wouldn't wish that on a Broke-dick dog!"......"Get to da Choppa!".....

So you can imagine my delight, that Mike at The Scene is on the verge of releasing a bunch of 15mm "god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus(es)"......

 The Scene UK, 15mm Sci Fi Special Forces

SF01 to SF03

The Scene UK, 15mm Sci Fi Special Forces

SF04 to SF07

And you'll never guess the symmetry, I made an open appeal to 15mm Sci Fi manufacturers for characters like these, suitable as proxies for the movie, back on 14th November last year (link)!

So, to celebrate the release of these minis plus 30,000+ pageviews in the last 30 days, I'm going to give away two complete sets of 15mm Special Forces from The Scene during the course of this week. Stay tuned for more intel on how to win 'Dutch' and the team.

"Tracker's off the scale, man!"

.

We've reached a small milestone at Dropship Horizon. More than 30,000 pageviews in the last 30 days, giving more than 105,000 since June 1st this year.

30,478

Pageviews from 

16 October thru 14 November, 2010

105,555

Pageviews since June 1st 2010

Whether you are a regular follower or just dip in and out, thank you for coming aboard. The popularity of Dropship Horizon is only a reflection of the contributions you have all made towards the renaissance in 15mm Sci Fi over the past two years. We are now definitely in the pipe....five by five!

INCOMING....... Rebel Minis 15mm Earth Force Armoured Troops

.

Rebel Minis have just released their much awaited Earth Force Armoured Troops (AT) and in time to be added to the Xmas Wishlist!

The Earth Force Armoured Troops are based on the cover art for Mighty Armour (left). Very much classic Traveller/Striker in style but also suitable as near future, bleeding edge soldiery for Tomorrow's War, FAD etc. These are also troops I'd expect to see in Ghost Recon Future Soldier.

Rebel Minis 15mm Sci Fi

MAEF8 Earth Force Armoured Troops

21 minis for $10.95

Whilst the number of poses is limited, there's enough to get started on a small platoon with a couple of headswops. In the meantime, support and heavy weapons can come from any number of options these days - including GZG's Gunbots, UAVs, robotic soldiery or Rebel Minis' own HAMR Suits. There will be dedicated support and heavy weapons in due course.
 
Rebel have also released a pack of Earth Force Home Guard Heavy Weapons comprising of 2 Snipers (walking), 2 Flamers and 2 medium Missle launchers for $3.47.

I've placed an order for the Earth Force Armoured Troops and looking forward to what may well be the best 15mm Sci Fi figures Rebel Minis have produced to date.

Cheers
