Space Naval Games / Dropfleet: Ordo Teutonicus (UCM) & Bloodswarm (Scourge)

« on: May 16, 2017, 07:43:48 am »

The Ordo Teutonicus

A heavy battlefleet that excels at orbital bombardment ("cleansing fire") and frontal attacks with guns blazing. It has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, but from time to time it is exactly what I need. ("If all you have is a hammer - everything looks like a nail")

My first completed battleship can be seen in the first frame. It is the "Zealot"  a "Beijing" class battleship.  With 3+ armor and 18 hull it is a very resilient ship that carries 6 super heavy and 12 heavy mass drivers + a Cobra Heavy Laser (that has the size of a skyscraper) into the midst of the enemy's battle line.

All super heavy mass drivers are magnetized which allows this ship to be converted into a "Tokyo" class battleship - one of the strongest bombardment ships in the game that easily destroys entire sectors + all the enemy ground forces that hide within.

As mentioned before... Not exactly subtle...


Next up will be the Bloodswarm,  a 1500point Scourge battlefleet that has actually seen a lot of use. I just can't seem to find the time to put the last finishing touches on them...

Here is a WIP picture.

I will post a better one in due time

Roll Call / Greetings from Germany

« on: May 15, 2017, 08:56:18 am »

Greetings from northern Germany,

to be more precise, from the Hanseatic City of Lübeck.



I've always enjoyed wargames, but sadly it is nigh impossible to find enthusiasts for fleet games around here. Somewhat ironic with the Baltic Sea on our doorstep.

The Axis & Allies "War at sea", Firestorm Armada and a couple other projects all died in an early stage.

My newest hope is Dropfleet Commander and with a gaming club behind me - I hope I can create a player base before the first hype dies down.

You'll probably see some DfC-ships from me.

Happy to have found you (through the podcast by the way)
