The Gun Tracks look interesting- depending on how the kit breaks down re. the gunners seat you might be able to kitbash some cool heavy weapon platforms for 40KIG…

Commandos come with extra heads. Ripper suit heads are separate and have the same kind of joint. So it's all doable.

this is a missed opportunity by most reviews by now
not doing the easy/simple conversions of changing the heads
also the Riftforged Orcs are compatible with the Marauders
not sure if you want some fantasy themed Marauders, but I can see the use of additional heads and adding hammers as melee weapon instead of knifes

The gunner's seat and gunner are a single part which can be left off the kit if desired.
Automatically Appended Next Post: In other news the Deadzone 3rd edition rules are now available on the free rules section of the Mantic web site.
I remember the gun trakk, hulk etc from when they came out with deadzone 1 (was that one a kickstarter?) They have not aged well. How are people finding the plastic commandos? And do they have that odd thing with a few kits (GCPS troopers, Forge fathers) of plastic sprues but a separate bag of loose legs?
I am still keen on starting a new Forge Father army though, by far my favourite in the Mantic Sci fi range.
the bags with bits in addition from the sprue comes from the old manufactorer in China, were it was cheaper to have a combined sprue of different factions and clip the parts out rather than a 2nd sprue with those parts in the box
with the new manufactorer we see the duplicates of the 5 bodies on the 2nd sprue as solution rather than the seperate bits
I have not done much yet with the Commandos but so far they look good and come with enough bits for small conversions
mould lines are a thing, but nothing that cannot be removed

After watching the rules videos on YT, I immediately ordered a copy of the mega bundle from the Mantic website. I love both Deadzone and Kings of War, and I have high hopes for Firefight.
Has anyone played it yet?

For anyone wanting motivation to get on a build a Firefight force Mantic have teamed up with Blackjack Legacy to do a three month slow glow army challenge. If you follow along by the end of the three months you should have a 1000 point painted army ready to go.
Me too. Might be interested in picking up those Mawbeast resins separately some day. Not interested in the new Marauder hard plastics, unless I could get some for a bargain; the casting quality on those is just too low.

I love Mantic's terrain crates. Might not be the terrain we deserve, but it's the terrain we need.
