Mantic Games: Warpath Deadzone - Skirmishes on Forsaken Worlds


Mantic Games: The Warpath Universe has long been in development. Starting from humble beginnings in 2011 with the Marauders and the Forge Fathers, we’ve fleshed out the races and the universe within which they dwell in new and exciting ways. After the Warpath battle game our next foray into sci-fi was futuristic sport but it was Deadzone that marked our return to sci-fi wargaming.

Deadzone put you deep in a claustrophobic city fighting against (or for) an alien plague outbreak – or reveling in the chaos and looting the city for resources. It could be played as a self-contained boxed game with a small figure count making up your strike team or expanded with extra scenery, factions and booster figures.





Since then Deadzone grew into a large and unwieldy gaming system and so after running the Deadzone: Infestation Kickstarter – which saw the rat-like Veer-myn faction added to the game - we took the opportunity to revisit the core rules. That work and effort soon evolved and 2nd Edition was born.
