GCPS Strike Force Box

Do the Polari in the GCPS Army Box come with the full configuration, as stated for the individual model on the website, or is it preset per individual model? Looking to use it for Mazon/Plague

Enforcer Medic Pistol

Why are there some keywords on weapon stats that don’t apply to weapons? A. To make best use of page space, some keywords which apply to a unit all the time are shown in their weapon stats. E.g. Medic keyword in the Enforcer Operative Medic profile.

This doesn’t mean the enforcer medic uses a pistol to heal people, it’s just a way of including it on the profile without it being on all other operative profiles

No, sir/madam, you are wrong. The Enforcer Operative Medic very much does headshot people to heal them... at least in my world.

Veermyn Nightmare Weapons?

Hey guys, fairly new to this great game. I've got a question to all the Veermyn players out there: Has anybody used Nightmares with chemthrowers yet? It seems a little weak to me with ranged 6+, compared to CC with 4+, especially when fighting anything armored. Also: I love the look of two combatdrills, but is Frenzy (1) really worth it if I could use an AP3 drill instead? What do you guys think?

subscription baloney

Just gotta vent for a minute. I bought my deadzone starter set the month when rules and list building was free. Got my set, put it together, made some lists, played some games. Had a lot of fun and this got me looking at the whole Mantic range, thinking this would be a great alternative to buying more expensive models from James W.

After not playing for a while, I finally got some time set aside this weekend to jump back in and play some games. Open up the list builder and am immediately flabbergasted. First up, previous lists I've made are now locked behind a paywall, fine whatever, I've played dnd and am used to the limited characters without premium mode. Open up a list and start looking around again remembering the rules. Hover over a keyword and it says it won't pull up in the list builder without paying a subscription?? The rules are free! You're making me pay $x a month just for the pleasure of convenience AFTER I've already bought your game? Guess now that I've paid you I just have to write all my lists by hand for some reason?

Was really liking Mantic but this is just rubbish and totally scummy. Guess I will not keep looking at the rest of their games/miniatures.

Regarding Range

As we've been playing it, range is calculated, assuming there is line of sight, by counting the number of squares on the, x, y, and z axes and using the largest as the "true" range.

Perusing the manual (RTFM!), it appears that this is as intended, but I may be in error.

Is this how y'all have been playing it, and if not, can you tell me why you play it as you do?

100 Point Patrol - Asterians v. Plague - Rock 'N' Roll All Nite (Set-Up Info)

Rock 'N' Roll All Nite An MGD Preview

Popping up for a quick performance on a custom stage, Lieutenant Dan and the Walkers are ready for an epic showdown with local legends, Reconnaissance Team W405-T43r3, led by the talented Reconnaissance Operator 3rd class Bry'Ma-Do. Backing LD&W are the infamous percussionists, Tim and Jam, with their faithful and fast Hounds of Hell ripping the stage apart.

As a fan of explosive solos and rapid-fire beats, I eagerly look forward to tonight's show!

Berichte über Veer-Myn und einen Seuchenausbruch machten es für mich notwendig, eine Expeditionstruppe zusammenzustellen, um die Stärke und Anzahl dieser Fraktionen zu ermitteln.

Warpath Digital Sourcebook

Does anyone know how to get (or would be comfortable sharing) a copy of the Warpath Digital Sourcebook? I've had no success at attempts to login or set-up a new account with Mantic... (Kind of a bummer, as I'd have liked to acquire the in-store points for the past purchases I've made, as well)

--Begin Transmission-- A potential source of the Exham outbreak was identified in the ruined city of New Westchesterbyshire.

A request from Black Talon operator 1st Class Ten'Ur-Go has been approved to equip him with an Infiltration team of APAMDs to secure the site and eliminate any opposition that may present itself. Infiltration Specialist Cri'El-Do has volunteered to accompany Special Officer Ten'Ur-Go and will provide a report upon completion of the mission.

Additionally, small groups of Forge Father, GCPS, and Veer-Myn forces have been seen skirmishing near the city, indicating that the Veer-Myn might have some part in the outbreak.

Bang Your Head

Exham Prime On Fire --A MGD review--

Exham Prime's biggest Dreadball stadium has been lit up in an explosive, one-night performance that had to be seen to be believed. Beginning the show with a rapid-fire display of skill featuring loud percussion, James, Earl, and Jones have clearly shown themselves to be a great supporting band for other performances, but the suppressed nature of their act may keep them away from the center stage.

While JE&J's performance may have been lacking, Tiny Tim and the Two Bobs gave an explosive performance that can only be described as a moving, visual spectacle. Their use of well-placed heavy percussion added a needed pizzazz that was missing from the starting numbers.

Last but certainly not least, in a standing room only performance, Major Massacre ripped the crowd apart with his razor sharp vocals, while the Smokey Three lit up the stadium with thrilling pyrotechnics. The up close and personal aspect of the Major's performance turned many of his former detractors into new converts, including the humble author of this review.

Where do find a Deadzone-compatible (with squares) game-mat ?

As the title say, I am a new player looking to introduce colleagues to wargaming. They are very curious but scared by complex rulesets such as 40k - and Deadzone has been recommended to me as THE most accessible, fun, boardgame-like ruleset.

I have terrain, miniatures, D8s, but the one thing i'm really missing is a gamemat with correctly-sized squares on it, to make the best use of the cubic movement system.

Where can I get one for a good price? I've seen one in MyHobbyPlace (see picture), but I'm not sure it'll fit well. Is the one from the 2-players starter set a really good deal? I need delivery to France, so European resellers would be great.

Cross posted. Looking to buy either deadzone or halo.. help me decide which

My son loves battle lore 2e, Heroscape, summoner wars, and necromolds. I’m looking to get him a new game for Christmas and can’t decide between deadzone or halo. He is only 8 so doesn’t have any attachment to the halo universe. For those of you who have played both games, which would you recommend ? And why?

Ruined City is nuts

Getting ready to put together the Ruined City, and staring at it all is a bit.. daunting, I guess.

With no build instructions, I enjoy the modular aspect of it. But, I'm super worried about building stuff and it not working, since I plan on gluing mine together.

Any advice/tips from people that have built this set and what should be done?

Stats for Nightstalkers.

I'm a noob to the Mantic world and just started playing Deadzone. I ended up buying a mixed box-full of models from a guy who is moving out of country. In the collection is a box for the Nightstalkers but it's for Firefight. How do I find the Deadzone stats for the Nightstalkers?

Noob Questions

Hi folks. I have some questions as a newer player. (I did a demo game awhile back with a friend, and I've been really wanting to dive deeper into the game.)

  1. Been digging around, but can't quite seem to get a solid answer. Where do we get living legends, and are they worth it?

  2. Which if the Starter sets do you recommend?

  3. Any viable options for terrain outside of the Starter Sets?

Thanks in advance.😁
