Firestorm – Rules 2.0 & Rense System Navy get a full release

Spartan Games are hard at work again, with an expansion for Dystopian Wars called Hurricane Season, and a new hardback rule book for Firestorm Armdada with a complete and more clear rule set, revised for all the playtesting, errating and so forth.

But that is actually eclipsed by the fleshing out of a much loved 'bad guy' fleet, the Rense System Navy, or RSN.

Tyrants & Heroes – Tau Hazardous Environment Cadre

Responding to disturbing reports of a recent Blood Ravens incursion in Tau space, Shas'O Shadow Nova and Hazardous Environment Cadre have been dispatched to investigate.



This army has been rebuilt, repainted and rethemed several times over the last 10 years - a real labour of love.

Most notable entries are:

  • The home made Barracudas, Remoras and Tetras

  • Using old metal XV15 Stealthsuits as Hazard Suited Firewarriors

  • Converted Pathfinder class Drones with a Harbinger class Devilfish (homage to DoW:DC)

  • The Cold One based Knarloc Rider conversions (built and donated by Jodi Knight)

  • My simple but favourite conversion - using flying bases for Shield Generator fields

  • My themed objective pieces - my HQ support atromech, Hammerhead Commander and Air Caste crew

  • Having the nerve to look at the FW Shas'O R'Myrs model and thinking he needed more guns if he was to be my army commander


Been a while since any the army saw combat so will be interesting to see what I can do with it against newer codexes.
