Drop zone Commander review.

Re: Drop zone Commander review.

I'm definitely going to get this, like I said I was interested before but didn't want to shell out on it in case nobody bought it. Going to go for the UCM, already convinced the wife to get me the starter set for my birthday! Been looking on the forums for ideas on how to expand the starter set so looks like I'll definitely have to invest in a Ferum or 3!

Balanced lists are key in Dropzone.

Over specialize in one area is going to leave you weaker in another.

Yeah, that's what I read. Think my first purchases will be a Kodiak, a blister of Raven Bs, a blister of Wolverines and a blister of Archangels. That should take me up, with the stuff in the starter set, to around 1000 pts.

That sounds like a good place to start mate.

After that I'd suggest Praetorians in Raven. They are really tough, good at clearing buildings of enemy.

Yeah, was going to go for them along with maybe another Condor and some Gladii or possibly Katanas when I expand to 1500 pts.

gutted that those Khursan minis don't fit. I really want to get into this but the dropzone models look in my opinion, crap.
Please excuse my chaotic spelling and grammar, I am Dyslexic, to my friends that means I am retarded and should always wear my water wings and helmet.

Each to his own, I suppose, I think they look great.
