There are just 3 days until the end of the FINAL survey – making this your LAST chance to get Deadzone goodies at Kickstarter prices.
In this update, we’re going to clarify what’s happening with the Forge Fathers, Asterians and Enforcer plastics – plus clear up any confusion around the Strider – and we’ve got some previews of the new metal add-ons.
Before we begin, don’t forget that you can fill out the survey again if you want to amend your second survey selections. Just follow the link that is in your Kickstarter inbox.
Enforcers
The Enforcers are going into hard plastic. We do not yet have a sprue to show off, as the mould is not finished. Once the mould is done we will get test shots, take some pictures and show them off.
The sprue will have the following components:
- 5 x Bodies (Torso and Legs)
- 5 x Blade Arms (Left and right arm options)
- 5 x Pistol Arms (Left and right arm options to match Blade Arms)
- 5 x Pairs of Rifle Arms
- 1 x Burst Laser/Incinerator (right arm with gun)
- 1 x heavy weapon left arm (for use with either the burst laser or incinerator)
- 1 x Incinerator Backpack
- 8 x Heads: 4 x Troopers, 1 x Heavy Weapon, 1 x Sergeant, 2 x Defenders
- 1 x Sergeant Energy Gauntlet
- 1 x Sergeant Rank Marking accessory
- 2 x Grenade accessory
- 1 x Holstered pistol accessory
- 2 x ammo pouch accessory
- 2 x Multi-tool accessory
That means that you can build either a five-man squad with rifles, sergeant and heavy weapon, or an Assault Squad with sergeant and heavy weapon, plus extra accessories. Pretty cool huh?
Sergeant Howlett is ready to lead your Enforcers into battle
How many sprues do I get?
In June, we will ship you 2 Enforcer Troop sprues per Faction Starter.
The Enforcer Booster will get 1 Enforcer Troop sprue, plus some resin plastic bits. This will allow you to build:
- 1 x Enforcer Sergeant
- 1 x Enforcer with Burst Laser/Incinerator
- 2 x Enforcer Defenders (Shields and Shotguns in resin plastic)
- 1 x Enforcer Medic (NOTE this figure is entirely resin plastic)
- 1 x BONUS Enforcer (can be built with rifle or assault blades)
The Enforcer Booster Bundle will have 2 sprues (1 sprue per booster), plus the resin plastic specialists, meaning you will be receiving:
- 2 Medics
- 4 Defenders
- 2 Enforcer Sergeants
- 2 Enforcers with Burst Laser/Incinerator
- 2 BONUS Enforcers (can be built with rifles or assault blades)
- Enforcer Engineer
- Enforcer Sniper
- Enforcer with Missile Launcher
- 2 x Sentry Gun
But what about individual models?
Anyone who has bought individual Enforcer models will receive an email from us to let you know what’s happening with the individuals. Don’t worry – it’s good news!!

Forge Fathers
There was a little confusion surrounding the contents of the Forge Fathers after the last update, so here is a clear list of contents:
Forge Father Faction Starter
- 1 x 6-figure Forge Guard Hard Plastic sprue containing: 1 x Huscarl, 5 x Forge Guard with Hailstorm Rifles, 1 x Missile Launcher Heavy Weapon option, 1 x Hailstorm Autocannon Heavy Weapon option and 1 x Heat Cannon Heavy Weapon option
- 6 x Brokkrs with Pistols and Heat Hammers (Resin Plastic)
- 2 x Brokkrs with Muspell Rifle (Resin Plastic)
- 1 x Mining Laser with Brokkr Engineer Crewman (Resin Plastic)
If you compare this to the starter offered on the original Kickstarter, you are getting a bonus Forge Guard with Missile Launcher and a bonus Brokkr with Muspell Rifle!
Forge Father Faction Booster confirmed as including:
- 1 x Valkyr Bike (Resin Plastic)
- 1 x Chief Brokkr Hero (Resin Plastic)
- 1 x Brokkr Engineer with Remote Bomb-bot (Resin Plastic)
Almost all people (99.5%) who ordered a Faction Booster did so alongside a Forge Father Faction Starter meaning that your total contents is still more this way than what it was previously!
Forge Father Faction Booster Bundle confirmed as including:
- 2 x Valkyr Bike (Resin Plastic)
- 2 x Chief Brokkr Hero (Resin Plastic)
- 2 x Brokkr Engineer with Remote Bomb-bot (Resin Plastic)
- 1 x 6-figure Forge Guard Hard Plastic sprue containing: 1 x Huscarl, 5 x Forge Guard with Hailstorm Rifles, 1 x Missile Launcher Heavy Weapon option, 1 x Hailstorm Autocannon Heavy Weapon option and 1 x Heat Cannon Heavy Weapon option
The Booster Bundle is the best way to upgrade your Forge Father Faction Starter. If you’ve ordered the Forge Father Faction Booster without a Forge Father Faction Starter and are unhappy, please do message us and we’ll sort you out!
Alternatively you can simply fill out the second survey again and confirm your choices.
Strider
As we mentioned previously, the Strider has been upgraded to plastic resin and you get 2 for every 1 you ordered.
That means if you ordered 1 Corporation Strider on the original survey, you are actually getting 2 Striders. If you ordered 1 Corporation Strider and 1 Plague Strider on the original survey, you are actually getting 4 Striders, and so on.
Strider
WIP - this model is not posed. Does not contain the grilled armour plate on the canopy, it looked silly on the physical model so we took it off. Big shooty gun rifle is still included though!!
Each Strider allows you to build one of three variants, and each can have either a closed or open cockpit. Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
- 3 variant pilots: 1 Plague, 1 Corporation with choice of either a Corporation or Rebs head.
- 1 Open Cockpit with guard rails
- 1 Sealed Cockpit with Closed Canopy
- 1 Sealed Cockpit with Smashed Canopy
- 2-handed Rifle
- 1 Chainblade
- 1 Flamer
- Extra armour components
- Shoulder mounted missile launcher
- Various banners to "Rebsify" (
tm) your Strider.
And finally
We’ve now updated all of the Asterian and Forge Father images on the survey to reflect the final components in the Faction Starters, Boosters and Booster Bundles.
We’ve also got some new shots of most of the new additions to the final survey. Here we go!
Sorak Swordspawn
Please note: there is a known issue on the survey that if you select the Sorak Swordspawn, it is not appearing on the confirmation email. Don’t worry, if you’ve selected it, you’ve ordered it.
Plague Enforcer
Forge Father Urban Demolisher
Asterian Pulse Bombard weapon attachment
Marauder Commando Upgrade
Marauder Heads from Commando Upgrade pack. Which designs do you prefer? Pack also includes special weapons.
Enforcer with Thermal Rifle/Fusion Gun
Right then, that should be everything you need to know to get your final survey in before Sunday midnight 30th March!
Remember it is your last chance to take us up on the Buy One Get One Free deals, the ridiculous price on the Peacekeepers - don't forget your scenery expansion sprues - and more.
