This is the rebuilt Dream Pod 9 Community Blog.
Currently content and layout is being updated and reformatted. (again)
Articles include a wide range of content including new (or updated) vehicle statistics, roleplaying information, and general updates on various projects.
The menu in the upper-right has sections for Heavy Gear Blitz! factions as well as specific topics for the Heavy Gear 4e RPG.
Guides tend to be occasionally-updated lists of sueful information like the converted plasic model assembly guide. Additionally there’s articles to help get players to useful resources like tools to build Heavy Gear Blitz! forces.
Please contact prof9844 on the Discord for questions about content.
The Hunter Commando Storm is simply made from a regular Hunter Commando, with a Light Autocannon and a Light Guided Mortar attached to the backpack. You probably have ample numbers of LACs around, and maybe an extra LGM too.

To start, we’re going to use the Longbow Jäger, which gives us the correct chassis and head to work with. The equipment of the Blitz variant differs a bit though.
You’re also going to need a Heavy Autocannon, Light Field Mortar, and LATM (LA:2). The first two you might have around if you’ve assembled any Bushmaster cobras, while the LATM (LA:2) often comes in other packs. All of these parts are available on the plastic sprues too, so check your bits boxes!

The folx over at Board and Brew, in Houston, TX, have been hard at work cranking out absolutely gorgeous Heavy Gear tables for their community. We’ve invited PJ to show off some of his killer tables.

Starting with a Vulture, you’re going to need to change it’s normal jetpack equipped V-Engine, with a Crusader’s V-Engine. Mount the LFM onto the back like normal for the Crusader, or if you want the Pilum variant, you can mount the MATM on the back as in the picture below.

Seeing the tensions build between the polar powers, the probability of conflict became a forgone conclusion. In preparation, Peace River and Paxton Arms began vehicle research and development in earnest.
L. Derek Evans, regarded by many to be a Gear design prodigy, was assigned to lead the Agamemnon team. Within three seasons, the first of the Agamemnon prototypes had been built. The armor necessary to meet the design’s required specifications was too heavy, and so Jean Robertson developed a special composite material for the design which proved lighter and more resilient than the armor used on the other Elite designs. Unfortunately the cost and labor involved in manufacturing the new composite prevent the replacement of the armor on the other designs with the Robertson composite until a more efficient manufacturing process is devised.
