Yeah same mantic blog/quirkworthy post suggests we'll get the merc cards second wave.

**Yonan**

Yep first wave was focused on getting the "basic" set playable. The extra rules needed for all the extra factions and stuff will have the physical copies delivered with wave 2.

**Squat Kid**

Semester needs to end so I can see my Deadzone stuff at home :/

**Stunami**

Got my kit in last night. I "only" got Strike Force, but boy howdy! I'm definitely dropping some cash on the second survey.

The terrain sprues are excellent. On par with GW's stuff, IMO. I slapped together a Marauder and a Plaugue baggie (the Stage 1, 3x Stage 2s, and 2 doggies,) and while there's some quite a bit of flash/mould lines, it wasn't too bad. Even at just the Strike Force level, there is an Imperial butt-hogshead of minis in here! I took Marauders as the extra starter, so I got a lot of Orcs to paint up. My buddy wanted to go Enforcer, and got mispacked out of several Enforcer minis. :( Fortunately, I have a half-assembled Enforcer Warpath starter, so I can cover him. I still need to sit down and catalouge everything to check for any mispacks on my end, but even as such I'm still digging it. I'm also going over to a FedEx/Kinko's place to laminate and spiral bound my DZ rulebook, just like I used to for GW games.

**Eilif**

Is it too late to order more add-ons for wave 2? I split the box with some friends and upon inspection of the contents (my shipment arrived today), I think I'd like to have my own copy of the Rulebook and Compendium.

**pretre**

They said they will send another survey before Wave 2.

**timetowaste85**

I expect Mantic will make another million on the second survey. If they make less, I'd be shocked. My second survey is going to end up being more than my first payment (striker and a bunch of enforcer extras).

Yeah, my whole pledge is Strike right now (early bird). I definitely think I'll pick up a bunch more on second survey.

I doubt they will make another million off it. Im sure they will do quite well though.

**Alpharius**

IF the hard plastic Enforcers and Peacekeepers turn out well, combined with repeat scenery orders?

They just might close to another million!

**timetowaste85**

I'm dropping another $50 in scenery, 3 faction starters (2@$50), marauder booster bundle, another 1st gen, and that puts me at $197 at the moment. I had other things...I hadn't decided if I wanted 3 more mats as well, I'm pretty sure I do. That brings it to $252. Yeah...breaking $500 total.

**Stunami**

I want to get at least a half dozen games in so that when the second survey is out, I know what I want and what I don't.

**Alpharius**

Quick question - what card decks were we supposed to get in this wave?

Just Enforcer, Plague and Marauder?

Anything else?

Thanks!

The Rebs deck is in wave 1 as well (if you got the Rebs faction starter).

**Alpharius**

Good to know - as that is missing for me!

Thanks!

Will we get cards eventually? Or a book? Is that just second wave?

Here you go Pretre: http://quirkworthy.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/mercs-deck-v2-public.pdf

Think Jake has said these will change very little (if at all) when they are finally released.

**scarletsquig**

The final merc cards have been up for download on wargames vault for a few days now. Anyone who has downloaded the DZ rulebook already can just log in there and click on "my library" to get them.

Looking at the beta cards, I'm so glad Wrath had his name changed. :p

**Pacific**

Ah I didn't realise, thanks for posting that ScarletSquig.

Can see that a few of the points values have changed, and glad Dr Simmonds has got the 'Tactician' ability as I kind of imagined her as the leader of the Plague team I'm making.

**timetowaste85**

What was Wrath's name originally? I didn't look at the beta.

**GrimDork**

Wrath

Judkhan

heh. Its funny, but maybe a bit much for the main rulebook

Thanks, I dug them up. Along with updates to the rulebook and the living faq.

The update we deserve!

Update #129

Jan 27, 2014
Second survey is coming!
3 comments

TLR - US and Canadian Battle Foam bags shipped, Deadzone Second Survey launching this week, deadline for missing bits submissions is Friday 31st January and there’s a big progress update coming end of this week.

Good news!

Battle Foam has now shipped all of the Deadzone Carry Bags to any US or Canadian backers who ordered one.

Not only that but the second survey is coming this week, giving you another bite at the cherry. You’ll be able to order extra of most of the range, though certain items such as the T-shirt and the Patch will not be available.

Never fear though, because we’re going to more than make up for that with some groovy new miniatures not previously available, as well as a few deals on things like individual Sorak and Connectors sprues – because y’all asked so nicely for them.

Look for that at the end of the week.
Missing Bits Survey

The 31st January is the deadline for the missing bits survey – if you are missing anything from your Kickstarter package, please fill out this form and let us know before Friday.

http://bit.ly/1dyMkWa

Next week we will download the forms and send an email to everyone who has submitted a form to say that we have received it. We will then sort through them and order the necessary stock – please keep an eye on the Kickstarter Updates for all the information as it becomes available.

This will allow us to best manage the process and ensure everyone gets his or her stuff after the crazy Christmas period.

Thank you for your patience.

And finally…

Because the second survey is your last chance to make use of the great Kickstarter offer, we’re going to be posting up a mega progress update so you can see where we’re up to on all things Deadzone related.

It’s promising to be very exciting, and we can’t wait to show you more.

Until then!

Until then indeed!

**Paradigm**

That mech and the Asterian glider are looking great, can't wait for these to hit retail (although I'm sure my wallet disagrees).

**GrimDork**

TLDR: stuff you already knew and two teaser pictures, update to follow...probably.

Wonder iif should fill out the missing parts survey for the whole order..

I just hope this sucker closes after I get my stuff. Ma is probably gonna cut it too close for me to put on any dz terrain onto it, hopefully dz closes in April lol.

**The Dwarf Wolf**

Hey people, i am the only one really anxious about their plastic stuff? Im really anxious to see what will come from this forge guard sprue, maybe Mantic decide to sell the Forge Guard sprue for the same price as the Peacekeapers?

After receiving the regular package, i dont want anymore restic, except for the extremely needed

**NTRabbit**

They're going to dump all the remaining unseen wip stuff onto us the day they put the second survey up, which I think we can take as iron clad, but getting pictures of final test runs of the hard plastic stuff might take a bit longer, I really hope they get them out there before the survey is due like they've promised

**The Dwarf Wolf**

A parts list for the said sprue would made the diference for me. Im really digging it, as they should be really "space marines sized", and are very similar to my view of what "dwarfs in the space" should look. If they give me a nice deal, i would dump the Brokks for more Forge Guards...

Lets see.

**The Dwarf Wolf**

Forge father and Asterian stuff in restic? That is a dealbreaker for me.

**carlos13th**

yeah they are making it in restic instead of hard plastic.

Was considering ordering extra Asterians and Forge Farthers instead of just having a the free faction as Asterains. Don't think I'll bother now.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Whellllllllp, they just saved me a ton of money.
