Title: October Releases--all about Firestorm
Post by: Landlubber on September 22, 2015, 09:25:09 pm

Spartan is giving the Firestorm universe some love in October:

I've gotta say, I think I like the Xelocian Imperium ships. They look like good, solid ships.

And the Directorate ground attack models look pretty sweet too. I like those flyers! Would the Planetfall rules allow air skirmishes, or are the aerial units designed specifically for ground attack?

I'm not too fond of where they went with the larger Terquai ships but those cruisers look great.

Agreed on the Xelocians, they look good.

Xelocians are growing on me. They remind me of NSL ships from FULL THRUST.

I really like the massive Terquai Dreadnought. But the Battle Carrier is too much like a Phantom Menace Trade Federation battleship.

Also like the Xelocians. Are they natural allies for any of the core factions?

Sorylian=Veydreth
Dindrenzi=RSN
Terran=?
Relthoza=?
Directorate=?
Aquan=Terquai

Who are the three natural allies that I am missing?  :-[

I'm going to have to pick up the Terquai stuff.  I'm on the fence with whether or not to trade the cruisers since I already have 3.  Would anyone be interested in them?

We in the RSN have no use for humans who have voluntarily submitted to rule by filthy xenos.

Bricks in space.  Not fond at all.  Much prefer the Hantari cruiser's look.  Shame there was not official battleship or dreadnought released.

Totally agreed.  It's awesome!
