What mini is that with the goofy small legs? Tell it I hate it.

It's a Grogan from the Convict team, and even I noticed he spent too much time on the upper body in the prison gym, not enough leg days

Mantic doesn't believe in creating models with realistically proportioned limbs. Ronnie prefers humans with ape arms and non-humans with tiny legs.

To be fair, they *are* aliens. And theyve always had long arms and short legs, check out the Deadzone Grogans.

I have DZ models and that doesn't make me like them any more. Some of DZ aliens are great but I just can't stand mantic's idea that muscular humanoids need short legs and ape arms.

It is a very cartoony look Mantic go for. I think they went over the top with the Trolls but I think these are nice sculpts.

Hey guys. I just wanted to point out that the Puppet's War bag that is 60% off at Battle Foam's Black Friday Holiday sale (so it's $8 after discount) is 50mm thick and has card and dice storage, so you can fit an entire Deadzone team in there along with cards and dice. (Clip some of the foam walls for the taller/larger models)

Those grogans are awful. Good job I won't be playing extreme anyway. How long has dreadball been out? Before this is another year or two old I bet there will be another milking of dreadball with another 10+ teams.

...but if they didn't release more teams, other people would come here and accuse them of abandoning the system and not supporting it enough.

This is the Kobayashi Maru...

That already happened, in the other thread. Someone complained they released Dreadball and then didn't support it.
Despite, Season 2. Then Season 3. Then Azure Forest. Then this.

But, that's the nature of people.

I feel they have released to much stuff far to soon. They should off spread the releases out more. The original 12 teams were to many to begin with! I've list interest in the game at the mo because of this overload of DB stuff.

Mantic (well, Jake Thornton specifically) did actually listen to fan feedback of the game and have altered it accordingly with an FAQ*. That to me is a sign of a company supporting a game. I agree that we could have got along fine with just the first 2 seasons (certainly, that's all I play), but at least the other stuff, the Azure forest release etc. is there for people who want it.

What's going to be interesting now is how Mantic carries things going forward.

*Thinking specifically of the Judwan nerf, where the efficacy of that team was reduced following that race getting the top 3-4 positions in an official tournament and a lot of general comments on the Mantic forums.

Plastic Peacekeepers assembled and painted by Titan Games

I don't like the scheme, but the models look lush!

Agree. Not my favorite colors but I'm looking forward to getting my order.

Models look great and alot more dynamic than I was expecting, but that colour scheme is just horrible, makes them look like their made from play-dough.

Is it worth me updating the thread title for these pics?

I am so going to put some Iron Man heads on them and paint them red adn yellow

Looks like a fimo / green stuff color scheme to me.

They will look awesome in my blue-ice-steel scheme

The more I look at these and see past the paint on them, the more the models say... I'll kill you all, I'll kill you all dead!

Hence the term, "Peace-keepers" they only grant the peace of death.

Suddenly I think buying 20 isn't enough...

I'm gonna see if I get my two sprues painted. If I have 10 painted peacekeepers staring me down, then I'll regret not getting more, but we'll see how that works out.

Why hello there Warpath/Deadzone concepts from the Open day, courtesy of @FistyGlueMan on twitter.

Pathfinder render



He also provides images for an Enforcer Dropship/ Bike/ Asterian Tank and Asterian Battle droid here:

Yeah Ronnie mentioned in the Mantic radio podcast that hard plastic pathfinders are the second kit they want to do for DZ2 after Veermyn he also mentioned HIPs Asterism troops and Reb troops

That's a nice drop ship concept

Can anyone with the technical know-how post it up here? If delivered in HIPs that Dropship = £££

The source has confirmed that too, HIPS Veermyn/ Asterians and Enforcer Pathfinders for DZ Kickstarter 2.0.

I'll see if I can post them hang on (the concepts are for Warpath not the next DZ)

Ok that worked I'll do the rest now

Those new terrain pieces look promising!

Some really nice stuff on show.

I would buy many hard plastic Forge Fathers tomorrow.
