The Shaltari are a scarce, ultra-developed species. They have traversed the stars for millennia and fought countless wars. Through peerless technology, they transcend even death. 
Shaltari armies deploy via a hierarchical system of interconnecting teleporters ending in a ropship-sized Gate. Troops are only present on the surface or aboard an orbiting mothership, and can be instantly transferred within this system, counterbalancing their inferior numbers and removing risk in transit. 

This box contains a perfect small Shaltari army. The miniatures in this set have been designed for ease of assembly, so have fewer pieces than their equivalent in separate kits.

This set includes:

• Eden Dropship x6
• Kukri x6
• Tomahawk x6
• Haven x6
• Braves x6
• Jaguar Warstrider x2
• Dreamsnare Sheildstrider x1
• Gaia Heavy Gate x1
• Gharial Heavy Grav Tank x1
• Firedrake x1
• Warspear with Bio Atomiser x1

Contains 37 multi-part miniatures; the miniatures are supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

In Dropzone Commander a simple exploration onto a dropsite can quickly turn into a bloody battle. A good commander must learn to think on their feet and adapt their plans for victory.

Shaltari Warchiefs have centuries of battlefield experience. Born for war, they know countless victories and have seldom tasted defeat. They use this experience to outplay, deceive, and dispatch their foes with inspired turns of personal leadership. 

This 33-card Shaltari Faction Set must be combined with a Core Set for a 66-card deck for casual games. Alternatively, carefully choose which to include in a 45-card deck for competitive play. 

Made from high-quality playing card material, these cards are oversized at 100mm x 60mm.

Several times larger than their more common cousins the Warstriders, Siegestriders were dubbed for their ability to clamber over or through the tallest defences. The most well-known forms are quadruped, although more accurately they have two legs and two arms.

The Lion variant carries possibly the most unusual weapon seen on the battlefields of the 27th century: The Transmatter Beam. It actually has two functions, the first being non-offensive. It can make use of the teleportation web technology built into friendly constructs to de-materialise and re-materialize these units anywhere in line of sight, even if they are far from a gate. The second, weaponised function is the result of firing such a beam at something without tapping into teleport web technology.

The Tiger carries a pair of Disintegrators - battlefield versions of the type of armament common on Shaltari starships. These weapons transfer huge amounts of energy to a very small area in crackling, split-second bursts. This causes devastating atomic effects, releasing further energies into the target. The appearance is of an explosive detonation that leaves an atomised, gaping hole behind.

Contains 1 multi-part resin miniature with parts to assemble as either a Lion Siegestrider or Tiger Siegestrider

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Any miniatures or scenery are shown for scale only and not included.

Please note that Behemoths are massive kits, and advanced modelling projects. Extra care, attention, and hobby skills will be required to assemble and paint them. Because of that, this kit it is only recommended for advanced modellers. Some parts will need heating and bending to fit perfectly straight and slight gaps might need filling.

Since mankind’s first contact with the Shaltari, the Gaia has been the alien’s closest equivalent to a heavy dropship, enabling bulk teleportation of large ground units. However, the Gaia’s lack of conventional armament has always restricted its use to pre-cleared dropsites. Around a year into the

Earth campaign, a new variant has appeared. Designated ‘Adamah’.

This formidable aircraft trades some transport capacity for a pair of front-mounted gravity cannons. These amplify the force of gravity to crush tanks like empty drinks cans, pulping their crews in the process. With formidable anti-armour weaponry, the Adamah can support its own landings, making it a singular threat that can operate far from support.

Although large, these have been observed operating alone in a vanguard/probing role, as well as in small-scale, surgical strikes. Commanders on the ground are learning to fear single-blip Shaltari contacts, as one Adamah can sweep a landing zone clear of picket units, then teleport in endless waves of lethal warstriders, gravtanks and support vehicles.

Contains 1 multi-part resin miniature with parts to assemble one Adamah Gungate.

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Any miniatures or scenery are shown for scale only and not included.

The Bobcat uses a leg layout identical to the walker variants seen in the Aaru theatre, though its use is much more widespread. Seen across multiple battlefronts, the Aaru leg design makes it a much more stable firing platform for its large weapon arrays.

Unlike the alternate versions of the Warstriders, the Bobcat is designed to be a bulwark of heavy firepower. It can bring excellent Anti-Air with the Ion Cannon array, the high volume of shots and decent energy means that arial combatants must steer clear.

Alternatively they can bring the Twin Gravity Cannon, a high energy anti-tank gun with devastator, meaning it can cripple the largest of vehicles.

Contains 1 multi-part resin miniature with parts to arm it with either a Ion Cannon Array or a Twin Gravity cannon

The Widow is a peculiar walker, it is lightly armed and armoured but capable of scaling buildings similarly to the Tarantula. Its mirror panels provide it with a modicum of protection, making it appear where it is not and obfuscate where it is. Bradyon Carbines are light weapons designed to go against infantry and light vehicles, but weight of fire can overwhelm even heavily armoured vehicles.

An Armour Battlegroup is a staple in games of Dropzone Commander, and is a required choice in every army. This set contains all compulsory choices in the Armour

Battlegroup, with Auxiliary units for support. This box is ideal for a new player - if you have a Starter Army, expand your force with this box.

The 2 Widow Battlewalkers scramble over the battlefield, using their Bradyon Carbines to crack open any armour that crosses their path. Alternately they can be built as Recluse Mirrostriders and defend allied units nearby. A Jaguar and Leopard Warstrider provide versatile firepower. The Dreamsnare Shieldstrdier protects its allies with its Shield Boosting Relay. the 2 Zion Gates give a stable position where units can teleport in and out of the battle.

Contains 7 resin miniatures.

Shaltari Behemoths are an engineering enigma, quite unlike anything the other races are capable of constructing. These constructs are comprised of multiple articulated segments, numerous legs, and no small amount of anti-gravity technology. Reserved for the most critical of battles, Shaltari Dragons have been seen more and more often during the Battle for Earth where their devastating alien firepower has been brought to bear.

The Shaltari Behemoth is a truly massive kit. Able to be built as either an Earth Dragon or a Celestial Dragon, equipped with some of the largest and most technologically advanced weaponry ever seen. Each weapon dwarfs that of any other Shaltari ground unit, even surpassing some units in their entirety.

The Earth Dragon is designed to cause devastation over a wide area to armour and infantry alike. Its Super Disruption Cannon acts as both an area denial and Behemoth killing weapon, while its Bio-Atomiser Fangs can melt infantry or focus its fire to take out armoured vehicles. Six Gauss Destroyers round off this loadout, with powerful anti-tank firepower.

Celestial Dragons are the more focused of the two variants. A Particle Triad offers precise, high energy damage while a pair of Laser Fangs are perfect for taking out lighter vehicles. Like the Earth Dragon, the Celestial Dragon is equipped with six Gauss Destroyers.

Contains 1 multi-part resin miniature with parts to assemble as either a Celestial Dragon or Earth Dragon.

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Any miniatures or scenery are shown for scale only and not included.

Please note that Behemoths are massive kits, and advanced modelling projects. Extra care, attention, and hobby skills will be required to assemble and paint them. Because of that, this kit it is only recommended for advanced modellers. Some parts will need heating and bending to fit perfectly straight and slight gaps might need filling. We highly recommend pinning the ball joints while assembling this kit.

Foregoing conventional weaponry, the Atlatl mounts a teleport beamer. This disturbing variation of Shaltari teleportation tech is actually a cruder 'brute force' incarnation, as it can be used on units unequipped for teleport - which means enemies are fair game. The Arrowhead on the other hand is a powerful - if limited - AA unit. Generating a crackling energy storm - a weaponised version of the discharge caused by active Gates - charged with potential to latch onto passing aircraft. When employed in numbers, the storm becomes a raging cyclone which can liquidise any aircraft armour with laughable ease.

Both Atlatls and Arrowheads are Standard choices for Shaltari armies, and both offer something a little unusual. The Atlatl is the height of Shaltnanigans, offering the choice of teleporting friendly units great distances or turning their attention to foes and forcing them to move into the least opportune places. Arrowheads are a rare dedicated AA Standard choice, perfect for area denial. While their weapons can only Reaction Fire, you also add extra Energy for each one in the squad, making them a major thorn in your opponent's side. Put them in the centre of the board and start laughing!

Contains 3 multi-part resin miniatures with parts to make all as Atlatl or Arrowhead Gravtanks.

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Any miniatures or scenery are shown for scale only and not included.

Shaltari are fast. Really fast. If their Gate technology for teleporting units around the battlefield wasn't fast enough, their Gravtanks manage a dizzying speed when on the ground. With technology to improve their speed even further, the bizarre weaponry these aliens bring to bear can be used in the most opportune situations.

An Armour Battlegroup is a staple in games of Dropzone Commander, and is a required choice in every army. This set contains all compulsory choices in the Armour

Battlegroup, with Auxiliary units for support. This box is ideal for a new player - if you have a Starter Army, expand your force with this box.

3 Atlatl Gravtanks can teleport friends and foe alike around the board, or build them as Arrowhead Gravtanks for extreme anti-air activity, albeit at limited range. A Puma Sonic Warstrider provides heavy firepower, and the Alligator helps your Gravtanks move faster. An Eden Gate teleports your vehicles into battle with speed.

The Puma may instead be assembled as a Tegu Gatestrider, and the Alligator has parts to instead make a Crocodile Heavy Gravtank.

Contains 6 resin miniatures and 1 clear acrylic flight stand.

Although less well armoured than Warstriders of equivalent size, the Caiman's agility and range can be used to deadly effect by the more subtle of Shaltari Warchiefs, who prefer to annihilate the enemy before having to accept return fire.

A Caiman Heavy Gravtank is the answer to "what if Tomahawk, but bigger?". Armed with either a Gauss Triad or Heavy Microwave Cannon, the Caiman follows the Shaltari adage of "be prepared for literally everything". The Gauss Triad packs the power of 3 Tomahawks, while the Heavy Microwave Cannon ignores all Body and Soft Cover when finding its targets, offering little in the way of defence.

Contains 1 multi-part resin miniature with parts to arm with either a Gauss Triad or Heavy Microwave Cannon.

While originally a fairly rare sight on the battlefield, the Crocodile has become much more common since the Battle For Earth. The Heavy Gravtank chassis also is home to the much stranger Alligator Gravcharger, which - through some unknown technology - is able to overcharge nearby anti-grav vehicles to even faster speeds, allowing the Shaltari to always dictate the direction of battle.

The Crocodile doesn't care who you are or what vehicle you're in: it is going to kill you. Its Particle Cannon ignores all Evasion and Passive Countermeasures, meaning there's very little you can do to protect yourself. Just hope for good luck or you'll be a crater. The kit can also be used to build an Alligator Gravcharger. Although completely unarmed, this support unit increases the Move speed and Move & Fire distance of friendly units in a wide area, giving you even more options for annoying your opponents.

Contains 1 multi-part resin miniature with parts to make either a Crocodile Heavy Gravtank or an Alligator Heavy Gravcharger.

The Firedrake is a fearsome gunship. Its exotic Spatial Disruption Cannon projects a region of unstable dimensionality ahead of the muzzle, inducing contortion and warping effects on anything caught in the maelstrom. The Frostdrake is a modified command variant of the Firedrake, dispensing with gate capacity in favour of an underslung Foe Crusher Cannon. This monster amplifies gravity at the point of impact, compacting heavy targets to destruction under their own mass.

The Firedrake Heavy Assault gate is a fantastic addition to an army. The Firedrake, in addition to being a gate, also bolsteres an area of effect Disruption Cannon which excels the closer it is to its target. Alternatively the Frostdrake Command Ship is a brutal killer. It features the Foe Crusher Cannon with the Devastor 3 against Tanks & Walkers; as well as Devastator 4 against Large units. Both Aircraft host some impressive Counter Measures making them tough units to take down.

Contains 1 multi-part resin miniature with parts to make either a Firedrake Heavy Assault Gate, or the Frostdrake Command Ship.

The Gaia represents one of the crowning achievements of Shaltari teleport gate technology. An intricate yet vast marvel of stunning complexity, It is the largest of its kind yet encountered on the battlefields of the 27th century.

What can we say about the Gaia? Do you want to deploy and then reposition your forces at a moment's notice? Do you want to do that with the most transport capacity available? Well look no further! Shaltari Gates are typically unarmed (other than a Reaction Fire with Charged Air), so the Gaia does one thing and it does it well: teleporting hedgehogs.

Contains 1 multi-part resin miniature.

The Jaguar is perhaps the most iconic, and certainly the most distinctive of all Shaltari vehicles. It is a towering yet graceful tripod walker over 30 feet in height, bristling with advanced weaponry.

Synonymous with Shaltari, the Jaguar is the epitome of walker design. Scuttling on three legs (it's practical, honest), this massive unit is the equal of three main battle tanks. Armed with Twin Ion Cannons on top, it will be extremely annoying to enemy aircraft. The sides can be armed with either Twin Gauss Cannons for armour piercing abilities, or Twin Heavy Bio-Atomisers to deal with entrenched infantry.

Contains 1 multi-part resin miniature with parts to arm with either Twin Gauss Cannons or Twin Heavy Bio-Atomisers.

The Lynx Chiefstrider is a command variant of the Warstrider chassis immediately identifiable by its colourful crest. Shaltari commanders are warlike beyond reproach and although drawing attention to the presence of a leader is often deadly, the Shaltari's martial honour precludes such tactics, displaying their arrival proudly.

The Lynx Chiefstrider is what you'd want to march to war into. It's seriously pimped out. It has a dazzling hat that will attract the attention of any suitor, although will also help through bizarre magic-science to predict and direct the flow of battle. The Lynx also has a groovy VIP lounge on its back, although in-game the Command Module is best used to escape danger for your Commander - rocketing away to help keep them alive until the game ends.

Contains 1 multi-part resin miniature.

In the Pungari it seems the Shaltari have found a much more pliant (if less capable) race than humans to exploit. Despite their obvious mental and technological inferiority to their masters, they are slavishly devoted to the Shaltari and appear willing to die in large numbers for them should one be present to witness their sacrifice.

You want terrible infantry? These are terrible infantry! Yeah, we're not going to try to persuade you that the Pungari will win you any games on their own. But in number they can be quite formidable! They're weak and prone to running away, but boy are they cheap! As far as cannon fodder goes, they're your go-to.

Contains 20 single-piece resin miniatures with 4 plastic bases to make 4 units.

Ronin are the frontline assault troops of the Shaltari. Their primary role is to strike first and from unexpected places. The pilots live for the joy of battle, eschewing larger walkers or more nimble skimmer vehicles to stride through the warzone in a heavy warsuit.

The Ronin is one of the most formidable infantry units in the game. Able to go toe-to-toe with most vehicles, and heavy enough to shrug off a lot of damage from infantry too. Their Gauss Carbines give very strong anti-tank firepower, but they can instead replace them with Bio-Atomisers and Energy Blades, turning them into a pre-eminent close quarters unit that can clear out a room in no time.

Contains 6 multi-part resin miniatures with parts to arm all with Gauss Carbines or Bio-Atomisers and Energy Blades.

The Spirit is the lightest and fastest of all Shaltari Gates, and is primarily utilised for scout and advance infantry insertion, although its size means it cannot teleport vehicles larger than a Light Gravtank. Its considerable speed and small footprint makes it particularly useful for rapid deployment and extraction missions.

Although the Spirit Light Gate is small, it's still full of spirit! See what I did there? Should I just go? Sorry. :(

Contains 2 multi-part resin miniatures.

The Thunderbird is a lethal gunship, dedicated to the ground attack role. Its highly distinctive silhouette is reminiscent of stinging insects, an eminently suitable comparison.

These diminutive aircraft are nonetheless incredibly useful. Swifter and better protected than most other faction's light ships, the Thunderbird benefits from the classic Shaltari combo of high Evasion and a Passive save. Armed with either Twin Disintegrators or a Short Barrel Gauss Cannon, you have the choice desperately short-ranged light vehicle killing (with Penetrative so you can still deal with heavy targets), or slightly longer-ranged anti-tank viciousness.

Contains 2 multi-part resin miniatures with parts to arm all with either Twin Disintegrators or Short Barrel Gauss Cannons.

Spires can be seen wherever Shaltari forces deploy. The towering edifices are taller than many buildings, but the view isn't the most distinct feature. The Totem Shieldspire creates an energy shield around itself and can project a further shield to protect nearby structures. Meanwhile the Obelisk Ionspire is often found teleported directly into the heat of the battle, firing up its Ion Storm to bring down anything that gets close with arcing lightning.

Both strange units, the Obelisk Ionspire and Totem Shieldspire are islands in the ever-flowing ocean of the Shaltari battleplan. Unusually immobile, it's best to drop them down in a location that might not be useful this round, but will be in the rest of the game. The Totem can protect all Shaltari within quite a wide range, making them more survivable than ever. Meanwhile the Obelisk is best used aggressively, dropping down to cause significant area denial early in the game.

Contains 1 multi-part resin miniature with parts to make as either a Totem Shieldspire or an Obelisk Ionspire.
