I totally missed Dropzone Commander at the show because I was so busy trying to see what I was trying to see. I almost certainly walked past there stand because I had someone stop and chat to me next to their stand and ask me what I thought of it. I had a quick look but it was crowded so didn't see much. The note in my book:<br /><br />"Hawk Games / Dropzone thingy = google search"<br /><br />So yeah I didn't make many notes!!!

It is not like they have cornered the market on Star Trek models from this era in any case.

I'm thinking the Jungles of Paradiso with a small clearing for a science station/colony in it. <br /><br />Shame you're not into Noble Armada. I enjoy the game, and I think the models are nice enough. Though in terms of spaceships the find for me was the presentation table next to Antenociti's workshop, with the Higaaran ships from Homeworld 2 that Antenocit were also selling. Quite nice, so ended up going a bit over budget to buy some.Mecha Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790550382189794512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-6964568803567188062012-04-25T18:57:11.355+01:002012-04-25T18:57:11.355+01:00After chatting to the guys at Sarissa I remembered...After chatting to the guys at Sarissa I remembered the concept art that you'd shown and was kicking myself for not asking them about it.

So I expect some exploding heads when they release it. :)<br /><br />As for blaming me for HGB... OK I confess it was me what done it.

Before this years Salute I'd had a good look over the Pulp City website and thought I'd check them out again this year, however, by the time I'd rushed around loads of the stuff that I wanted to see I found myself lacking in cash and still hadn't picked up any of their minis. Maybe next year will be third time lucky for them and I'll finally make a purchase.<br /><br />Pulp City is definitely one of those games that interest me but there's always something else that bit more appealling which seems to get the nod just ahead of them, this year it was Heavy Gear Blitz and I'm blaming Fromntline Gamer for it! There you go, it's nothing to do with me, it's all your fault!!1!<br /><br />I see that this article made reference to Sarissa Precision, mentions that you'll be reviewing some stuff soon and hinted at some new stuff; I saw a landing pad but that was the only new thing I saw although Steve did tell me a bit about some of the other new bits in the pipeline, some of which sounded really exciting, and I got the impression were fairly imminent. Do you have any articles planned on the new stuff and/or can you provide any more details?! having got hold of some of the stuff I'm really keen to get an order in but don't want to do that and find that there are a load of new releases right after I've bankrupt myself.Hendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688180011818556068noreply@blogger.com
