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.

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.

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.

More scenery stuff...


Deadzone Scenery Coming Tomorrow!

Many of you have been clamoring for scenery add-ons and a scenery-only pledge level. Well, we’ll be bringing them to you at 5pm BST/ 8am PST/ 11am EST tomorrow – please spread the word!

Some of you have asked how many sprues it would require to build the building in the video. This assembly uses a couple of pieces from across the 3 different types of sprue, namely 3 floor tiles, 4 Half Tiles, 3 Barricades plus connectors – it doesn’t use any of the wall tiles or cross sections however!
New Stretch Goal!

To celebrate the impending launch of the scenery add-ons, we’re giving away a scenery sprue!

$375,000 – Scenery Sprue

If we hit this goal we will include one of our fantastic Building Sprues into all pledges of Recon ($100) and up!

http://www.manticgames.com/SiteData/Root/Image/Deadzone/deadzone-blues-v2.jpg
Here’s a blueprint of the scenery tile designs you’re already getting! Though there's nothing to say more aren't coming ;)

This Building Sprue will give you an extra 6 tiles and means that you’ll be getting a total of 5 sprues in Recon (4 Building Sprues + 1 Accessory Sprue) and 7 at Strike Team (6 Building Sprues + 1 Accessory Sprue) plus all of the connectors you need to assemble your buildings!

Whether you're playing Deadzone or any other sci-fi game, these kits are perfect for filling your game table!

Three days left on this bad boy and I can't help but feel it isn't going to go up that much until we hit the magic £700000.
Then we get the faction boosters and we'll all pledge like crazy but I'm not gonna pledge for these boosters and find they don't get unlocked.

Are any of you guys holding off like me to see if they get unlocked before uping your pledge?

Deadzone Kickstarter (http://goo.gl/pa2VC) just showed an improved version of the Enforcer Cap (after much whining about the old, helmet-less version).

Can't say they're not listening to the fans ;)
