(KICKSTARTER) Deadzone Kickstarter - Funding Successful

[Giger]

The miniatures from Deadzone will make up the elite units in Warpath (except for the zombies which will be the grunts for the Plague) so I'm not only getting Deadzone becasue it looks like a great game but because I want the miniatures for my Warpath armies and the terrain is excellent (I'm getting enough mats for a 6x4 and then the terrain to cover it as it will work not just for Deadzone/Warpath but for so many other games).

Also the Forge Father and Asterian specialists are now in so we're chasing the Judwan merc.  Also Mantic have just added the $700k stretch goal which is where the Faction boosters start and the BOGOF offers:

I think the game looks good and I like most of the figures. I tend to multi-purpose my miniatures where possible, and most of these can be used for more than one game. The addition of zombie figures is pretty neat, and even though I don't need any more zombies, I'll probably grab a sprue or two of them to replace the ones I did for Judge Dredd. They're pretty generic so it'd be nice to have some more futuristic zombies in their place.

In for $280.

$150- Strike Force : 1 of each of the 4 factions plus additions, a mat, some plastic structure sprues, rules, dice, free extra figures from stretch goals including survivor and others and five zombies + an extra starter faction to be chosen later

$50 Two for One Booster bundle  - (I might use these to get one of each booster or just double up on enforcers and plague guys. If the other boosters don't unlock then I'll just load up on Enforcers. Obviously. Since that's the only booster they'd have. I should stop typing now.)

$50 Two For One Booster bundle  (four boosters total from this)

$15 20 Hard plastic sci-fi zombies.

$15 20 Hard plastic sci-fi zombies

I wish I had the money for one of the big building sets and the Antenociti scenery kits. Oh well.

Wrath is now in along with big game rules and they've added a new stretch goal for acrylic markers (add on).
They have also put up part one of the game play video:

Edit: They have just added a new freebie for hitting Dreadball's KS total; a random Dreadball MVP to play the rescue an MVP scenario!

Oh crud. Solo rules and AI cards are just the kind of thing that could break my resolve. what's the chances they won't make it to $775,000...

The last two days (if the Dreadball one is any indication) will be particularly nuts.

Quite Low baring a huge pull out. $781,367 at the moment.

Has anyone seen a definitive list of what's slated for December and what's going to be delivered in 2014.  I know that all of the Astarean and Forge Father stuff is 2014, but how about the booster packs and specialists for the other four factions.  Thanks.

[Giger]

The FF and Asterians are indeed shipping Q2 2014 as are the specialists not included in the starters and the zombies though they'll ship earlier if possible.  The shipping date for the specialists is mentioned at the bottom of update #65:

[Giger]

Well things are surging ahead and we're now chasing down the next merc after completed the FF and Asterian starters.  Mntic should have an update up soon taking us on to 900k I believe!

[palaeomerus]

I'm at $400 and have to stick there, but plan to spend that on terrain and mutants with guns. I will wait to buy boosters at the 2nd survey if they still have B1G1F on them. If not I will have to get the boosters at the first Survey which means less terrain probably though I guess I could order that later on. But then I'd have to wait a long time to get it.

New update just gone up:

[palaeomerus]

Thanks to my appallingly boundless personal weakness:  

$423 total
-------------------------------
Strike Team w/ bonus Asterians starter ($150)
Forge Fathers Starter ($35)
All 6 Booster Bundles via B1&G1F deal ($150)
Helfather ($8)
Chovar ($10)
80 plauge-zombies via B3&G4thF deal($45)
Urban Fight terrain set 'Fortifications' ($25)

And I'll probably try to buy more in the post KS funding survey/ pledge manager period via paypal. Mostly terrain and plague troopers I guess.

Damn it. But I'm pretty stuck for now.
