Goal: $50,000, broken in just over 30 mins.

Deadzone is the dynamic Tabletop Miniatures Skirmish Game set in the distant Warpath sci-fi universe, written by Jake Thornton, author of last year’s runaway Kickstarter success DreadBall – The Futuristic Sports Game.

Players control one of four unique factions, battling it out over scarce resources by combining deadly actions to lethal effect. The sci-fi backdrop of Deadzone is brought to life using the new modular Mantic Scenery Range adding a vertical dimension to your games and incredible customisation to your battlefield. No game need ever look the same!

By backing this Kickstarter you will be allowing us to create four brand new factions of miniatures – The Enforcers, Plague, Marauders and the Rebs – as well as an exciting game box that includes plastic sprues of our great new Scenery.





Looks like the $150 Strike Team level is the one to go at - latest stretch goal is for $225,000 and they'll tool these four models and throw them in:

I'm in

The model count on mantic's kickstarters has always been impressive. This time I'm hoping it's the terrain count that is the big thing.

I'm hoping they add terrain sprues as add-ons (they weren't last time I checked last night) 'cos though I'm not too interested in the miniatures the terrain looks nice and I'd happily buy quite a bit.

They are saying that terrain will be an add-on and that there will be a terrain only pledge level.

[eldargal]

I thought there might be, Mantic are usually good at figuring out how to maximise pledges in that regard. Something a lot of other companies running Ks campaigns could stand to learn from.

agreed.

Latest stretch - 1 extra scenery sprue:

Spoke to mantic last night, they've got an update planned to reveal scenery sprues as an add-on and as people seem to want it, a scenery only plegde. This is going on my Necromunda board for sure.
