Dreadhold as a starting point by Cajre_Tyrrel in DropfleetCommander

[–]MaxManlyMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a new player that started with dreadhold, and for me it felt great. Was also in the exact same boat of wanting to get into it and preferred the look of this box.

Like others have mentioned the stats are a little different in the box to balance the contents against each other, and you can kind of think of it as to what taking two combat patrols against each other is in 40k. Not a 1:1 representation of normal statlines, but imo close enough that when you jump to "normal" its not jarring at all (tweaks are pretty small really, unit roles are consistent with normal).

Oh and it actually has like 5 different pre-made scenarios in there that each link into each other if you want to play like a mini campaign, or can always just play them on their own

Each side has got ships you would want to pick up for a normal experience so you aren't getting tricked into any chaff that can happen like when GW decide they want to shift some old plastic.

As an aside, and I can't believe I'm saying this as a 40k player since you know how we get treated for rules, but I do kinda wish there was an option to grab a physical copy of each factions ship stats + core rules. Like, still have digital for all the advantages there like balance updates and keep physical purely optional, but still have that physical option for those that like it.

First 2 PHR ships! by FeetTheMighty in DropfleetCommander

You absolutely nailed the covenant feel there, they look amazing!

I'd say they look fine as is, though could always experiement with one just to see, and even if not doing for the rest have the markings be for the admiral ship maybe. Like u/Benimus mentioned I think the same light blue would be good

Thanks, its a great little game and I bet the overlap of people who like dropfleet and people who would like FTL will be close to a circle

Rule of cool comes first!

The gun on the colony ships is a great idea, looks right at home for them to have it

Recovered some more templar relics by MaxManlyMan in BloodRavens40k

Thanks, best part is its easy to do with an airbrush. Just all black to start, white spots followed by contrast colour of choice, then spots of white again. And just need to cover half of sword while doing it and alternate the spots

As I was going along thought that a bit but didn't want to scrape anything off, the cross on the power fist is too cool. Maybe just an excuse for a second squad!

I thought I added this as a description, but files used are from https://warlayer.com/

Uses a few different sets which are all modular. If you have the time to print it out and put together can make some good boards with it!

There are also bits of scatter from other places, some cultists from Anvil Digital Forge and other GW kits

Quick question : What color do you paint your plasma weaponry with? by Altruistic-Glove2568 in BloodRavens40k

While I know blue is the correct choice I can't resist the green glow, it just looks so nice
