You are correct, I had figured they'd have more/better material by now. Beyond a few threads on the mantic forums I guess we're still out of luck. I don't have my stuff and won't be getting it for awhile so I'm no help =/

I spent an exceedingly long time playing and experimenting with all sorts of terrain things, so can possibly help.
Well, unless its specific sprue questions, I just clipped everything out and put it in a pile.

I've been playing around with the terrain since yesterday and I have to say that I am mighty impressed! I didn't realize how versatile they were until I really started getting creative with them.
The only bit of terrain that confuses me is the landing pad, what I am supposed to do with the stairs is beyond me. That being said I did manage to whip up quite an impressive looking layout.

I've been slaving away too. Haven't really "got" the system to the point where cool designs would come to me by heart, so it's all a bit all over the place. I call it Bunghole Station.

I do want one of those big square sentry guns. Want to kit bash it onto a Challenger or Merkava tank and see how it looks. I think it could give one the futuristic look needed for cheap Tank kits for Warpath.

Saw those, was going to pop by and mention it, though it's hard to get a scoop on SS.
Sort of tempted to get some Jotunns, but I probably better leave it. After all of the holiday madness I've ended up with 15 stormrage vets, surely that's enough heavy firepower.

If it's free, yes. Otherwise, you will feel buyer's remorse. It's mostly just a collection of sketches we've seen before. Except for the never-before-seen-by-backers troll artwork that the sculptors used, of course.
Actually, how do you feel about the Blanche art books?

All the GW art books are pretty great, but only because they're physical books.
And things like Xenology with a combination of art, fiction and background are perfect.
Think I'll skip the art book if its just thrown together, would rather see a stretch goal for a good one, was really happy to see Mars Attacks have a stretch for original art on the cards.
Also, worth noting that Deadzone is almost entirely out of stock everywhere now until the end of February.
Even Wayland only has 2 copies left: http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/mantic-games/deadzone/deadzone-pre-release-edition-boxed-game/prod_23643.html
They've sold out the entire 10k print run (half of that went to KS backers, the rest to retail) in one week basically. It's the largest print run they've ever done and the fastest to sell out.
I wouldn't be surprised if they sell 50k copies in the first year.

Looks like a nice tower and wall, good and solid.
Miniature Market says its got 20+ copies of the base game, if anyone's still looking. They're out of marauders but seem to have the other faction starters. If I hadn't ordered assault and a truckload of terrain I'd be tempted to order something from them so I could have SOME deadzone around. Oh well, patience is a virtue..

If you do decide to order it through them, it might take a while up get it. I put an order in on the 18th, and it "shipped" on the 20th, I still don't have it. I know, the holiday and all, but I haven't even gotten so much as a tracking number.

I ordered from them over their black friday sale and got my stuff in good order. My sister got my xmas stuff quick too but that was the more expensive shipping. Ordering the boxed game from MM would put me dangerously close to having spent 4 digits on Deadzone sight unseen, I'll just be a bit more patient. I don't think I could use triples of a lot of the plague and enforcers. Might help that I live at most 4 hours away from MM's St. Louis warehouse too though. No tracking number here either, but you don't always get one for normal post office stuff it seems like. And thanks for the input, knowledge is power Just glad there is no carrier of DZ in town, or I'd probably have gone out and gotten *something* regardless of the too much already en route.

OK. I forgot to post pics of the Enforcer Missile Launcher Kneeling conversion. Here you go.
The greenstuff looks much better with the base primer color over it. I will have to post pics of that later.
