These are renders, so they must have used what the sprews have. @ Alfndrate Roughly yes.

Okay, I'm going to (of course) say the opposite of kenshin and say that you don't get quite that much. You get 9 sprues with Strike Team, but only 6 of them are building sprues. So you're more accurately looking at 1.5 battlezones (plus a little extra in terms of connectors.)

Hahaha, perhaps I can ask the question in the comments section  . I'm debating about adding more to my pledge so I can get more stuff... I'm kind of tapped atm as it is, but one can never have too much terrain.

Counting the walls and half-walls that picture is made from roughly seven building sprues.

@SS
It seems like they have already included/unlocked the ruins/battle damage option so the new thread title might be incorrect.
Or maybe they didn't and that is the new stretch. I hope not....

God I wish I could pick my factions.....I'd probably wind up doubled down though so maybe I don't want that...

C'mon, you know you want to.
I figure the way I have it, I get one of each faction (plus a duplicate) and all the mercs. I don't need extra terrain, I have a bunch. $218 isn't bad for one of everything.

Did you forget the extra faction individual models? The Marauder Hulk, Kreegaw, Enforcer w/Lasercannon, and Plague Grenadier? Seems like the 218 wouldn't cover all that to for one of everything...

I guess Ill post the update
Reinforcements have arrived!
And that’s Recon Unit N32-19 locked in!!
We’ll now include him free in pledges of Recon ($100 and Early Bird) and Strike Team ($150 plus Early Bird)!
Up next:
$550,000 – Ruined BattleZone
Featuring area cover pieces, debris, and a mix of newly designed broken and battle damaged tiles (these won’t all be the same designs as on the Core World Sprue), if we hit this goal we’ll be able to tool the Ruined Building sprue and unlock the BattleZone for you to pick and choose from as part of your scenery pledge or scenery add-on.
This kit is fully compatible with the Core Worlds Building Sprue, allowing you to introduce new character and details to your battlefield.
Up next, we’re going to be doing some work on fleshing out the Asterians and Forge Fathers:
$560,000 – Asterian and Forge Father Faction Support
Forge Father Inferno Drill
Brokkr Engineers have harnessed the power of one of their hull-mounted Inferno Drills – an industrial mining laser – and have bolted it onto a tracked base. On the battlefield it is difficult to maneuver, often leaving the operator at risk from oncoming fire, but can cut through all but the toughest armour.
Asterian Weapon Drone with Energy Cannon/Shield Generator
The Asterians’ dependence on light units can lead to them being outclassed when coming up against heavily-armed opponents; the Support Drone is the standard response. They can be fitted with shield generators to protect those around them; Fission Beams, which mirror the flux rifle in tearing its target apart at a subatomic level, or the Force Cannon, which fires destructive blasts of concussive energy.
If we hit this goal, we will be to sculpt and tool:
- The Asterian Weapon Drone with Fission Beam/Shield Generator options, and add it to the Asterian Faction Starter!
- The Forge Father Inferno Drill and crew member, and add it to the Forge Father Faction Starter!
$575,000 – Asterian and Forge Father Upgrade!
Forge Father Brokkrs
Brokkrs are the metal scrap merchants of Forge Father society. They aggressively excavate an area for whatever materials they can find with the aim of putting them to good use back in the Star Realm – whether that’s raw minerals or concrete foundations. They are protected on their mission by the Forge Guard, though they aren’t bad in combat themselves. Each carries a Hailstorm Pistol to defend themselves with, and their heat hammers are perfect for swatting aside pesky Plague or irritating Asterians.
Asterian Cypher with Fission Beam
Each Cypher is piloted manually from orbit during a mission, although they do have rudimentary artificial intelligence that can take control if the signal is lost for any reason. They are armed with a high-powered flux rifle that explosively destabilizes the target’s molecular structure. Some even carry Fission Beams that fire concentrated streams of blue, crackling energy.
If we hit this goal we will be boost the number of troops available by sculpting and tooling:
- Three uniquely posed Forge Father Brokkrs and add them to the Forge Father Faction Starter!
- One Cypher with Fission Beam and add it into the Asterian Faction Starter, along with two more Cyphers with Flux Rifles.
$590,000 – Nastanza, Twilight Huntress
"It is said that if one was to catch a glimpse of Nastanza they would be hollowed out – joyless, emotionless: forever empty.
A solitary figure, she is neither human nor Asterian, more an agent of something altogether more sinister. She is the silent reaper, stalking across the battlefield cloaked behind her camo shield, taking pleasure in the slaughter. She is the invisible executioner, a precision shot and expert head hunter responsible for the murder of countless soldiers.
She is the Twilight Huntress, and where Nastanza walks, only darkness follows.
If we hit this goal, we will sculpt and tool the Nastanza, Twilight Huntress mercenary figure and include her free in game pledges of Recon ($100+ Early Bird) and up!*
Mercenaries are great characterful figures and powerful additions to your squad.
* Not including scenery only pledges.
OK – a confession!
We made a mistake on Update 38 regarding second shipment shipping after we got some wires crossed and, what we meant to happen got changed to something we didn’t. It was our mistake in the middle of a busy Kickstarter when we were all a bit tired. We are sorry for the confusion it caused!
So forget everything we've said on the second shipment shipping. Here’s the way we’re going to do it… *please read this carefully!*
You only need to add $10 for second shipment shipping if you choose any Asterians or Forge Fathers as your free Faction(s) at Strike Team, Assault Team, or Suppression Team AND you have selected less than $20 worth of add-ons (this applies to all add-ons listed).
That's it, it's that simple.
If you’ve added on the $10 second shipment shipping and you already have $20 or more of add-ons as part of your pledge (Strike, Assault or Suppression Team), then you now have an extra $10 free with which to spend on more miniatures or put towards a shiny scenery bundle!
Reinforcements
The Asterians and Forge Fathers are getting some serious reinforcements with the next couple of stretches and we’ll be adding even more troops and variety to really flesh out the factions.
You can now add on the Asterian and Forge Father Faction Starters to your pledge as part of the wonderful Expanded Universe Faction Bundle, or as individual Faction Starters - grab one now and help us knock over these stretch goals!!
Phew - one heck of an update! That's your roadmap for the next couple of goals after which we've got some more reinforcements, more special characters, solo play and some depraved, sleep-walking degenerates. In hard plastic.
Tell all of your friends - Deadzone is in for a big finish!!

I'm thinking it is going to take a while to get there though.
At this point, I'm just hoping we unlock the full Forge Father and Asterian teams quickly...

So up to the revealed streachgoals.
The strike team will have 1 more free character and 3 more to pay are left to be unlocked.
The FF/ Asterians will have 1 more update if the boxes in their upgrade your faction are one for each starter.

He, and many others since the reveal of the Marauders, was hoping for a "Pick your own Factions" version of Strike Team, even if it costs a bit more.
