This is why I don't buy 28mm figures in restic. Is this your first restic kit?

**MLaw**

lololololol.. no. I backed DZ1.
I don't know why I thought the robots were going to be in something other than restic.. but Mantic was also mentioning that they had "improved" restic or somesuch.. all I remember is that they offered reassurances that the problems with DZ restic wouldn't resurface..

**BobtheInquisitor**

Mantic assures us of a lot of things.

And then changes their mind when they have our money.

Well they got my $1 for the DZ:infestation, and that's all they are getting. Especially if they still don't give the Renaldo the Bard figure to the KOW2 backers like it was promised.

Some new renders

Progenitors (metal miniatures)

Chem Thrower (resin miniature)

I don't think the Piper ever got posted here:

**timetowaste85**

Also, Mantic stated right in the email to backers that this is the ONLY time the PM will be open. No half truths or wrong impressions it might reopen. Very straight forward "only right now, until the 27th". That's it. No second PM, just this one.

The shredders seem to have pants and armour, as I was hoping they would. looks good!

**MLaw**

pass.. looks super cartoony and goofy. I'll stick to the FF and jetbikes.

**timetowaste85**

I couldn't care one way or the other about Verrmyn, honestly. But I'm gonna go balls to the wall on jetbikes.

Pants are overrated.

**lord_blackfang**

Love the rats.

**Pacific**

Actually think those look really good! Definitely some of the strongest sculpts in the range so far.

They kind of look like what I used to dream about, way back when, when I thought about mixing Skaven and Chaos Nurgle kits and calling them Hrud..

**migooo**

Those actually don't look that bad.it depends how the actual figures turn out though as they tend to suffer from square figure syndrome.

**Triszin**

shipping is 10$ for me, and all I want is N117, and two crate packages. =/ oh well i'll buys.

**darkPrince010**

Not a huge fan of the wide-spray chem-thrower, but the regular supersoaker sprayer and the remaining minis look great. I'll stick with my plastics for now, but as soon as Progenitors are released in plastics, if they look the same as those sculpts I may end up picking up a couple boxes!

**Mymearan**

Yeah I don't like those rats at all, too much Cartoon Network/children's toys and not enough grimdark. It's baffling that the Enforcers and Pathfinders are so well done yet both design wise and sculpting wise yet almost all other Warpath/Deadzone minis look really bad...

Yeah this is pretty much exactly my point..

They look like they're straight outta Battletoads

Wrong game. Warpath is all about the destructive capitalist culture exemplified by cartoons and kids toys

Final PM closing warning

Update #46 Jul 20 2015

Deadzone: Infestation Pledge Manager closing in a week.

With one week to go before the Deadzone: Infestation Pledge Manager closes time is running short to get your pledge confirmed or upgrade to the Lockdown Pledge.

We worked out that is set contains around $600 worth of stuff (See the pic below) and even we were surprised at just how good this deal was!

The Pledge Manager closes at midnight BST 27-Jul-2015 and there will be no second chances for this Pledge Manager as we will be sending the order numbers shortly after if closes.

Thank you all for you support in making this Kickstarter succeed.

**BobtheInquisitor**

And I just went in for a lot. Mantic, I'm counting on you to get it right this time.

**RiTides**

Those rat renders look quite good! And to be cast in metal, so the parts should look similar.

**highlord tamburlaine**

I pulled the trigger on a lockdown pledge after much hemming and hawing.

With the pledge manager being open just once, figured if I was interested in things, ought to do it while I have the chance.

Probably went overboard on scenery accessories again, but so be it.

**.Mikes.**

After totting up what I wanted, it was only another $15 for Lockdown and I got a tonne more scenery sprues and more minis. So, Lockdown it was.

**NobodyXY**

Ended up with a LD+ Shredders and Ogre Mini. I had planned on spending more but ended up buying some stuff I wanted locally.

Industrial Terrain pre-production samples

all looking good but after the first sets there was never going to be issue with these.

**Mymearan**

Oh man the pipes and walkways will be quite welcome for my Necromunda board...

**highlord tamburlaine**

Some very cool pieces there. Love those pipes and guardrails. By the time these sets drop there's going to be a lot of variety on my DZ board.

Makes me antsy for Mantic to come up with a fantasy equivalent one of these days.

Manic fantasy terrain would all be huge doors with embarrassingly low doorknobs.

I feel like they would all taper at the bottom too..
