At Gen con one of the very first things I had the opportunity to do was to sit down with Neil Fawcett from Spartan Games.   It was the first time they visited us in the states and I think it’s the beginning of many more.

I did two interviews with them where we chat about Firestorm Armada, the return of Uncharted Seas, Dystopian Wars, Planetfall, and of course HALO. The first is below.  I had to refilm it because of the background noise, Neil has a soft voice.   I wasn’t going to keep this interview at all, but there is enough in it that we didn’t cover in the second interview that I couldn’t ignore it.

rense system cruiser groupFAZR22 Zenian League RSN Cruiser Group
A lethal terror weapon, squadrons of RSN Shrike Class Cruisers send a shiver of fear through commanders across all of the Kurak-controlled territories – and some Zenian ones too! Designed to be undetectable, running silent on deep insertion missions, Shrikes can unleash a flurry of advanced torpedoes that hit home seconds before they are detected. When cornered, they can unleash plasma batteries that can melt a battleship’s steel heart in minutes, before vanishing into the darkness of space once more.
Hellhound Class Cruisers, on the other hand, are an overt symbol of RSN might – with kinetic firepower to shame even the most deadly Dindrenzi vessel, and plasma batteries to tackle approaching threats. Hellhound crews often feel they have something to prove, meaning these deadly vessels will often pursue their prey with a vicious bloodlust, earning them a well-deserved reputation for mercilessness.
Contains: 3 Cruiser hulls and parts to make either 3 Shrike Class Cruisers or 3 Hellhound Class Heavy Cruisers. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.

rense destroyer groupFAZR23 Zenian League RSN Destroyer & Frigate Group
Sporting a fearfully powerful plasma cannon, backed by substantial arrays of torpedoes with multiple decoy systems, squadrons of RSN Firebird Class Destroyers ensure any race that breaches RSN doctrine are dealt with swiftly and harshly. Their stealthy design and sensor ghosting technology ensure they always have the first – and likely the last – word in an engagement.
Hellion Class Frigates are the workhorses of the RSN, and are often also deployed within Dindrenzi fleets, providing broad cover for capital ships. This both increases the effectiveness of those forces, and gives the RSN eyes and ears in operations beyond their own.
Contains: 3 Firebird Class Destroyers and 4 Hellion Class Frigates. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.

Terrier IroncladDL: Britannia: Terrier Ironclad

$75.00 SRP

Striking a balance between speed, durability and firepower, the Terrier Ironclad is the perfect expansion to a Kingdom of Britannia force. Able to engage any opponent whilst weathering all but the heaviest attacks, the Terrier provides a steadfast iron anchor for the Britannian gun line. Any foe foolish enough to approach the Terrier head on will be blasted by its relentless 122-Pdr Gun, whilst the sponson mounted AT Rifles deter any attempted flanking assaults. As well as this devastating array of firepower, the Terrier holds a powerful shield generator within its hull – a sparking energy field to disrupt incoming fire.

Black Watch Infantry (5)DL: Britannia: Black Watch Infantry (5)

$24.00 SRP

 Resplendent in the traditional kilts and tartan that are their regimental heritage, the Black Watch are a striking sight on the battlefield. Trained to the same exacting standards of musketry as all Britannian Rifle Regiments, the Black Watch also have a notable proficiency in close-quarter combat. With a list of battle honors as impressive as it is intimidating, the elite Black Watch are famed as some of Britannia’s finest fighting soldiers.

Landwehr Infantry Section (5)DL: Prussian Empire: Landwehr Infantry Section (5)

$24.00 SRP

The Prussian Empire has a long standing tradition of compulsory conscription and, in times of war, the Landwehr are raised in great numbers to defend their homes and the Emperor’s territories. These valiant soldiers are not to be underestimated, for while they lack the experience of the crack Grenadier Regiments, they compensate with zeal and dedication. When well commanded, they are more than equal to anything the enemy can throw at them.

Models unpainted and unassembled.

 

 

Sun Ke-Ho IroncladDL: Empire of the Blazing Sun: Sun Ke-Ho Ironclad

$102.00 SRP

Fast, tough and deadly from every angle, the Ke-Ho Ironclad’s unconventional design in no way hampers its capacity for destruction. Often seen speeding forward amidst a spearhead of Kote Armored Transports, the Ke-Ho’s unique mechanisms keep it operating efficiently even after sustaining heavy damage, ensuring that its brutal firepower will never cease.

Whether laying down smoke screens to cover the advancing Infantry, picking off Tankettes with bursts from its sponson mounted weaponry, or bearing down on the enemy with its wide-mouthed cannon, the Ke-Ho is both the shield and the sword of the Divine Empress’ armies.

Models unpainted and unassembled.

 

 

mperial Rifles Infantry Section (5)DL: Empire of the Blazing Sun: Imperial Rifles Infantry Section (5)

$24.00 SRP

Markedly distinct from the fearsome Ashigaru and garbed in crisply-cut uniforms, the Imperial Rifles are a model of discipline and modern precision. However, their heritage has not been forgotten for they are armed with a modernized Teppo, a powerful, long-ranged rifle descended from the early Tanegashima firelocks. On the field, the Imperial Rifles support the advance of their Ashigaru brethren with volley after devastating volley from their arrow-straight firing lines.

Models unpainted and unassembled.

 

 

Armored Infantry Section (5)DL: Federated States of America: Armored Infantry Section (5)

$24.00 SRP

Heavily protected against conventional munitions and even deadly gas weaponry, the Armored Infantry Regiments have earned a fearsome reputation across the world as elite shock troops. Often sent barreling deep into enemy lines secure within a Patriot, they emerge to storm the strongest of redoubts with their state-of-the-art Automatic Carbines. Once entrenched, there is little that can displace these tough and resolute soldiers from a valued position.
