Dropzone Commander is getting a new edition. Apparently it is supposed to drop at GenCon already. In the lead up TTCombat are publishing a series of articles on what changes with the new edition, dropping 2 - 3 a week.

They also already published the first article about the rules changes:
Army composition
Unit categories have been overhauled a bit. Now there are only the categories "Standard", "Vanguard", "Heavy", and "Support". Transports and commanders sit outside these categories. Vanguard, Heavy and Support each can't use more points than the Standard category in your army.

Also the battlegroups of the previous editions are gone and replaced with groups. Those are generally smaller and focused around squads and their transport rather than the multiple squads and their transports of the old battlegroup system. But TTCombat's Alex can explain it better than I can now. So go read the article if you are interested in more infos. ;P

RIP to a legend who helped define the look of 40k.

Had a big game from my solo campaign, had the smaller red side try to ambush the larger green one, the green side won but lost more points.

The SRM carriers (short ranged missles for the non battletech players) were the MVPs for the red side taking out lots of tanks.

The command Atlas was the MPV for the greens it pretty much took care of everytjing red on this picture.

Good game orcs are quite good, my opponent said that my issue is am not thinking were my ships will end up in a turn or two allowing him to keep out manovering me.

I felt that manovering wasnt very orcky lol.
Thing i also did wrong is my cruisers are the things i want boarding 10hp means they can take on the battleships, somthing foe me to note next time.

Slapped these up in blender then gave them a simple paint job for OPR warsfleets or battlefleet gothic.

These are the base models (they were altered and then hard parts slapped on in blender)
