Such as...?!?

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

I know, I know - I had to try though!

I sincerely hope that this isn't largely about the terrain...

REALLY want some Enforcers that I can work on without tearing my hair out.

Anyone watch today's video with the new community manager?

Dude's got a table full of scenery sitting in front of him. I wonder where it's from...?

Also on Mantic's website there seem to be glimpses of Dead Zone pieces for those that want to hunt for it- in the ad for the next open day there's some suspicious looking scenery.

I think I'm just getting very impatient on this one. I want more info!

I think that stuff in the video is from a company called quantam gothic.

Hey look what showed up on the countdown page, don't remeber seeing this before.




Its only a teaser.

I'm tired of getting teased! It's just like junior high all over again!

When will the madness end?

...I guess a week from now, huh?

can't wait, i have a few hundred set aside.

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.

Hmm, I may hold off squandering the last of my tax-return to see what this looks like. Warzone already ate most of it, but I have a couple hundred to spare and this might be interesting. But man, I have to stop doing Kickstarters. They satisfy that deep down urge to get a load of stuff in one go. But once they are over, your inner impusle-buyer realizes he has been had and has to wait months for his stuff. Oh well, most of last year's Kickstarter stuff is going to be dropping in the next few months, hopefully that will distract me.

So guestimating something like
$100 for 2 forces and personalities. $150 for 4 starting factions, etc...
Extra terrain instead of MDF and Arcylic boards add ons.
Faction Dice

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

THATS what I wanted to hear. Same general feel, different system and game entirely.

This should be awesome!!

As someone who was in the meeting this past evening, I went from being on the fence to now waiting with baited breath for it to get released publicly. All I can say is, the concept art and early models for it are amazing.

what were the minis like compared to other minis in the industry?

GW
current mantic warpath minis
sedition wars
Infinity

were they heroic scale?

To one of the guys that were in that meeting:

Is there a chance of Teratons?

All sounds very exciting, and I too would like to hear the answer to this question!

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.

For those of us who haven't gotten around to Dreadball, what material were the figures made out of? Plastic? Restic? A hybrid amalgamation?

Coming into this as a board gamer rather than a wargamer, my knowledge of casting materials is a little iffy. Is this stuff going to be super brittle or will it be able to survive my somewhat clumsy children?

Please educate me!

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

That's what I need to hear. Brittle things don't survive in the hands of either of my kids.

My son has already informed me that he wants Teratons since they are thick and dinosaur- like and his sister can't break them.

Just seen some previews at salute - new enforcer commander with open helmet and cloak, comms enforcer trooper with
Additional gear, 2 large plague types, one the one from the art (he's about 3 - 3.5 inches tall), a smaller more dynamic one (similar body type) and some human-hybrid types with guns. Resin masters of the plastic 'bulkheads' on show too - very very nice. Will try
And throw some pics up later, if they came out ok

Please do - I'm especially interested in any terrain!

Thanks for the info Cypher, liking the sound of "bulkheads" as terrain.

Would love to see any pics, no matter how bad they look.

Awesome, thanks for the info Cypher, look forward to the pictures.

Boom! Courtesy of Mattl on the Mantic forums:

Here is the first look at Mantic's INCREDIBLE modular plastic terrain.

That'll work, if...

Hot dang! Those are lovely! If they're priced well, they'd be great for Infinity.

~Tim?

They look about as flat as MDF terrain. For plastic, I hope they take advantage of the ability to add depth, or at least lots of additional extra bits.

They do look good. I just hope the price is pretty reasonable.

Guys... it's Mantic selling these, why are you even asking if the price will be good?

I like the look of those modular buildings will go very nice with a set of Urban Streets consider me sold.

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?
