| Could this be the next recognised brand name tin the Industry? |
Well I guess Dropzone Commander from Hawk Wargames has been one of the most anticipated launches of recent years in our hobby. Definitely for a new game from a new company. Certainly it's one of the launches that I myself have been most anticipating, probably because I caught a glimpse of the miniatures at Salute 2012 and thought they looked superb, but beyond that not much was really known. So when the
website went live on the 8th June there was bound to be a big response, and the response was always going to be interesting to watch. Prior to the launch Dave Lewis, the one man dynamo it seems behind Hawk Wargames had said the miniatures would be comparable in price to the products released by Games Workshop. Given how happy everyone is with them right now over prices, that wasn't possibly the wisest thing to be saying. Perhaps the first full-time employee of Hawk Wargames needs to be a PR Manager. But, depending on the quality of the miniatures, and indeed the amount you need to play Dropzone Commander then that comment could be quite frankly be really reasonable, or outrageously expensive... you see without some contextual information such statements like that are meaningless, and will only serve to cause more 'debate' not less.
