It is devastating if unsubtle when fired and fully capable of neatly slicing a cruiser in two. This colossal weapon takes up over half the ship's length. The Perth class dispenses with the largest mass drivers in favour of an enormous Viper super-heavy anti-ship laser, one of the largest weapons ever to be mounted to a UCM vessel. In combination with the speed necessary to keep up with cruisers, it is a superlative and flexible killing machine. It also features launch capacity equivalent to a Seattle class Fleet Carrier. Its primary armament is a pair of huge quad UF-6400 mass driver turrets, a more potent array of this calibre than a Beijing class battleship. Models supplied unassembled and unpaintedįollowing the success of the experimental Atlantis program, the Johannesburg class was designed around an entirely new hull created for the specific requirements of battlecruisers. Miniatures supplied unassembled and unpainted. NOTE: Provided with a multi-part Dropfleet flight stand, designed to track in-game status without the use of tokens. 12 Resin Parts total (including optional components). It is cast in exceptionally tough impact resistant resin and features extraordinary detail. This blister pack can be assembled as either a Johannesburg or Perth class battlecruiser. Other ships and gaming mats are for scale purposes only. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. The Havana's Light Torpedoes provide surprising punch, the Vancouver gives a handy (and cheap) launch vessel, and the Kiev is the UCM's Heavy Destroyer, its UF-9000 Twin Mass Driver the bane of even Battleships!Ĭontains 2-3 resin miniatures (depending on build) and 3 plastic Dropfleet Commander bases and flight stands. The sleek design of the UCM Destroyers uses the typical fins of the UCM and arranges them in three completely distinct ways for three completely different ships! Fast and surprisingly tough, the Destroyers operate as search-and-destroy vessels, or escort carriers. This set contains 3 UCM Destroyers, all able to be built as either Havanas, Vancouvers, or Kievs! There are parts to build 3 of each Havanas and Vancovers, or 2 Kievs. Many an enemy admiral has met their ignominious deaths at the hands of this smaller adversary since its inception in the 2640s. They are unsubtle sledgehammers and the bane of enemy flagships. The mission role of Kiev class is to hunt and kill the most heavily armoured enemy vessels with swift brutality. These impressive weapons are heavier gauge than those mounted in almost any other UCMF warship, save the mighty dreadnoughts. The Kiev is an interesting vessel, in that it features a pair of super-heavy UF-9000 series mass drivers in a fixed position. The Vancouver class emerged from the UCMF Naval Design Bureau in the late 2640s in response to the obvious need for more cost effective fighter and bomber support than the well armed Seattle class offered. Its design stems from older and largely outmoded naval strategies revolving around the use of torpedoes as primary weapons. The Havana is the earliest type of destroyer currently in service with the UCMF, having first seen combat with the Shaltari in 2596.
