Mantic just STFU and take my money!!!!

Holy crap...I'm with Earth Dragon-take it!! Ttttttake iiiiiittttt!!!!!

Oh WOW! Those buildings are exactly the sort of thing I want for a futuristic setting. Love it! I will probably pick this up for the buildings alone!

I am going to be spending an inordinate amount of money on those plastic buildings.

My wallet has already sighed, applied generous amounts of Vaseline and has opened itself up to Mantic already.

I'll be renting my wallet out to moths by the time this KS is over and done with.

I love how the plastic terrain is essentially the old Necromunda terrain (buildings, bulkheads, walkways) only done entirely in modular plastic instead of card.

Other companies have tried this sort of thing (those russian hexagon and platformer sets), but those were too fiddly with too many small parts and visible connection pieces.. not really all that gamer-friendly either.

This looks good and is supremely practical as modular terrain.

The possibilities are huge... make tons of walkways criss-crossing each other, towers, bunkers. You could even do pyramids or skyscrapers!

Oh... dear. I already overspend on mantic kickstarters as it is (humongously...) and I just started infinity. This will hurt

More pictures here:

EDIT see Riquende's post after mine they are his pictures after all

good to see there's ladders with the buildings, apparently there will be crates and barrels and the like as well. The terrain pieces are 3" square and clip together so they can be reassembled in different configurations.

Oh and the miniatures look very nice as well apparently there's a game or something to go with the terrain

My pics - http://riquende.wordpress.com/2013/04/20/salute-2013-pics-deadzone

Gah! Ninja'd to my own blog post!

Sorry! Riquende didn't realise you'd be posting it here as well I've edited the link out so that it only appears in yours now. Thanks for the pictures.

Alright... my money is listening. Looks like I may be cancelling plans to expand my Dark Angels a bit. Some Warpath stuff AND terrain to use for Infinity is always welcome. Hopefully there will be some Forge Father love in there since my Space Dorfs have been feeling a might bit lonely lately. Looks like I'm suspending purchases until Friday.

Don't worry about it, it's cool.

Awesome pics Riquende, all of the minis are looking great as well. Added a link to your blog to the OP.

One other thing that's neat about the modular terrain that I notice from the pics, you can use three of the "battlement" pieces to form an open doorway/lobbyway piece.

@ Ronin - There will be Forgefather stuff. The KS will focus on six races to start with (Enforcers, Plague, Corporation, Forgefathers, Marauders, Veermyn), and then after those are funded (we all know this one is gonna be huge!), they'll be looking to expand it further, possibly with an expansion book and another 4 races.

Teratons will be making an appearance at some point, if you liked the look of the space dinos, I think the last rumour for those was that they'd be a mercenary faction within the corporation.

Thanks for the upload Squig, those look really cool I hope Mantics plays this smart and releases these as terrain sets as well. Two quick questions are the broken widows plastic as well?
and is this a "complete set" as in what comes in the Deadzone box?

The broken windows were added buy golem when they painted it, however due to how awesome it looked and how popular it was they are now working withe the production company to find a viable mass produced way to do it.

Also I want that sniper now.

Alright, well if there are Space Dorfs then it will be hard for me to resist. Looks like I'm funnelling money in Mantic's direction come this Friday. And I'll be pulling extra shifts all next month, so I may have a bit extra to pop on it as well. Man, this is shaping up to be more expensive than last year's Kickstartapalooza. Cry some more wallet, cry some more.

...by including a few sheets of blister plastic, and maybe a cheap pair of scissors if they want to really go to town on it?

Okay, now that Mantic has seen all this, everyone act apethetic about this whole thing in an attempt that Mantic lowers their prices during the KS to "convince us"

Just to say (as I forgot above), that I really love this guy:

Everything looks rather nice indeed. Quite interested in the Enforcers, nice to see that they have real bases now!

Wouldn't mind getting that big Plague monster also, it looks incredible!

Dreadball was made from restic, and it's very tough stuff. Hard, but not brittle in any way.

I would add the caveat "...at room temperature." Back in December, I took a squad of Enforcers outside to apply spray lacquer, dropped one on the way back into the house, and he snapped off at the ankles. I now use brush-on sealer...

Very cool - terrain looks awesome (though it's annoying to see yet another source of the standard "Infinity" terrain when so many other niches are left unfilled - Fantasy version please Mantic, make it happen!)

Love the big gribbly too. Not so much the smaller big gribbly, I don't like minis that are permanently fused to terrain.

One problem with all of the "standard Infinity" terrain that's out there so far is that it's fairly expensive if you consider how many pieces you need for a full table. If this stuff comes out at a reasonable price, I may finally buy some Infinity terrain. The price of everything out there right now leaves me reaching for the balsa wood and plastic rods.

I'm curious - what do you mean by "real" bases?

It would seem he's not such a fan of the integral 15mm round bases meant to fit into a larger base most mantic minis are cast with.

Indeed, it's quite a hassle to remove them is you want to base them differently!

Really? Seriously, buy a dremel and a bunch of cutting discs. If it takes me more than 10sec/mini I'm probably watching the telly and eating at the same time

EDIT: nevermind


Also, why does all the build up for Deadzone read just like the build up for Sedition Wars?

Because it worked for sedition wars?
