As interesting as this is, I really wish they'd fullfill outstanding Kickstarter projects before starting new ones.

Everything for Dreadball and Kings of War that is supposed to have shipped, has shipped.

How about taking the RAW/RAI for Kickstarter to a different thread?

Now, it's entirely true that Mantic has done a pretty poor job reminding everyone of what's been going on (just releasing shots of greens over the last 6 months and assuming everyone is seeing and keeping track), but they are pretty much on track for the promised Q2 2013 delivery of all of the new units.

how do you Think they could have done it better?

It's actually a problem with a lot of KS, honestly. Most people don't read the KS comments, don't read the relevant forums - they just get the email updates and skim them on their phone.
But is it possible for a KS to update the main page?
Having the front page continuously updated with greens and such. just a "Current Progress" section on the main page.
So if in doubt, just visit the main KS page and see all the greens and the current progress is "all models except stormwind cavalry are being tooled and cast right now."

No, once the Kickstarter Ends you cannot update the main page.

I hate today so much.

That cover... is just bad.

That's probably not the actual cover and logo, it's a promo piece from the inside of the dreadball season 2 book.

Hopefully thats the case and they get either the Dreadball Coverart guy or Heath to do the proper cover.

I know Heath said something about drawing more Teratons a few weeks back, it might have just been more Dreadball art.. but he has been working on Deadzone stuff for awhile.

There might be some variance as they can't actually control the exact time a kickstarter goes live, only kickstarter themselves can do that by approving the project.

Actually, as long as they are approved they can launch whenever they want.

There is some amazing stuff coming in Deadzone.

Such as...?!?

Ronnie would be mad at me if I leaked too much.

Private meeting with Ronnie & Heath for the Dreadball backers at Adepticon today, so about 20 folks know all the details.. I'm not going to share everything, but I'll give you some highlights.

Some model pics were shown, as was a bunch of concepts.

Be ready on Friday, expect similar costs to Dreadball.
Do Not expect this to be Warpath, this is a board game.

Warpath players will be able to use components from Deadzone in Warpath, but these will not be the hard plastic infantry/vehicle sprues... That is still a bit off as they want to continue to build up the universe and refine the Warpath rules.

People will want to say this is Necromunda much the way they say Dreadball is Blood Bowl.

To one of the guys that were in that meeting:

Is there a chance of Teratons?

Chance?



Minis are Remy sculpts, material is the same as Dreadball.

Speaking of which, they know what caused the horrible mold line issues on some of the stuff from Dreadball and have fixed it. If you have any Dreadball figs you aren't happy with because of that Manticwill replace them.

Is the caped Enforcer supposed to be a Forge Father?

No, it's an Enforcer.

Seriously, I think people are making mountains out of mole hills on the board size. I'm certain the game won't break if you play on a larger board.

Ronnie mentioned in the panel that they knew people would want to get multiple sets for larger games, and were making sure it was playable.

Earth Dragon wrote:
Yeah, at this point Eilif, Mantic trying to claim that gamers will say "this is just like Necromunda" was probably more wishful thinking. This is turning out to be a board game, not a full fledged miniatures game.

Mantic never said it was like Necromunda, I said that people would say this is necromunda like people said Dreadball was Blood Bowl.

Dreadball isn't Blood Bowl, this isn't Neceomunda. It's a Miniatures Boardgame in the Warpath universe.

40 miniatures in a grid based Boardgame table that is 2'x2' isn't that bad, take a look at Zombicide..

i don't expect to see plastic multi part kits for warpath until the warpath kickstarter which i will assume will be next year this time-ish? i however cannot wait for tomorrow, i will be buying lots.

Yes, Warpath Kickstarter is likely to be a year from now and will feature hard plastic kits.

Heath draws a mean Kaiju, so I think infected Teratons could be pretty awesome.

I'd love to see Teratons make it into this game early on...

You'll be happy.

Is that some level of record? O.o

No, Zombiecide Season 2 holds the record at something like 10 minutes...

That had a target of $25k though, not $50k. It still wins, but not by a great margin.

This going to be huge, I can see $1.5mil for this.

It hit 25k in less then 2 minutes, they passed 50k not long after that.

I'm honestly not seeing how the Enforcer Captain is any worst then a Terminator Captain.

Lovely lady with insider knowledge, any chance the Nameless will show up?

They weren't in anything I've seen, but I'd say they have a good chance of showing up down the road if there is enough demand.

Ver-myn are the only thing that was stated to not be in *this* version of Deadzone.

I'm actually curious as to how well this game will look on the Tablescapes tiles...

I think it would work quite well with the Urban Streets sets.

Especially if you grab one of the 2x2 'Display Board' options while they are still available for $50.

They have a very small US Office.

I'm fairly sure our office is larger then Mantic's US Office.

That's where the official Mantic US Rep is located, right?

Yeah.

 RiTides wrote:
Cyporiean- is there any kind of partnership between Mantic and OTL... or do you guys just take an interest in what they do? Just curious

Just friendship and shared staff.

Ronnie/Mantic gave us a lot of advice when we started work on Brushfire, and we've been big fans of theirs since day one. We try to get together with the Mantic gang whenever we are at the same show for food and drinks and general comradery.

Honestly, most TTG companies get along great together. I just don't keep quiet about it.

ScarletSquig, do you know if there is any move to re-do the Enforcers and make them into a plastic sprue for figures, rather than using restic? If not, will these Enforcers be the same poses as the ones currently available for purchase?

Hard Plastic Enforcers are not likely until the Warpath Kickstarter.

Rebs will be getting a number of races that were requested during the Dreadball Kickstarter, but did not get included as teams.

Ah.. I love 'Happy Feet' he is so adorable.

Also female aliens please Mantic.

The Teraton is female.
