Big, Bigger, Biggest?

I’ve been showing off a few of the new Mantic DreadBall and Deadzone figures, but even the biggest of them isn’t that large. I’ve been writing an article about scale in figures and thought it might be my turn to … Continue reading

DreadBall Tentacle Time

Posted on June 17th, 2013 under . Posted by

Quirkworthy

As we all know, you can’t have too many tentacles. This is another of the pre-production models I’ve ended up with, and he’s a striking fellow indeed. This early test shot does need a bit of a clean up, but … Continue reading

DreadBall Monkey Business!

Quirkworthy

Moving swiftly on from aliens with odd limbs we come to the big furry guy. He stands on two feet and a fist and is 49mm or so to the top of his head. As with the others, this is … Continue reading

Deadzone Sorak Close Ups

Another one of the teases the other day was a Sorak. These are another of the fun aliens that make up the Rebel faction and can best be described as foot soldiers. Sorry. Anyway, like the Orc Commander, you may not … Continue reading

Did They Deserve To Die?

Today I’ve been murdering a lot of darlings, or at least I think I have. What’s perhaps more interesting than the details is a question I posed myself after a bit of pondering: How can you tell the difference between … Continue reading

Deadzone Marauder Orx Commander

Quirkworthy

One of the models I showed a little of yesterday was the Orx Commander, or at least the first one – I’m sure we’ll do more. You’ve seen this picture on the Kickstarter and the mantic blog. So you know … Continue reading

Stuff On My Desk

Whilst I was at the Mantic office I noticed that Stew had far too many interesting things on his desk for one chap to cope with, so I helped him out by sharing some of the burden. Now some of … Continue reading

Having issues technical issues today I’m afraid. Normal service should be resumed tomorrow – with any luck.

Zombies Are Naughty

Posted on June 8th, 2013 under . Posted by

Quirkworthy

I’ve lost count how many zombies I’ve killed today. They are a pesky lot, either dying too fast or not fast enough. Still, “dying” is an odd thing for a zombie to do at all. Yes, I’ve been tinkering with … Continue reading

DreadBall Solo?

Posted on June 7th, 2013 under . Posted by

Quirkworthy

What with all the different modes of play planned for Deadzone, I’ve been idly wondering if it would be feasible to design a good set of solo rules for DreadBall, and whether they’d even be desirable if it was. Obviously … Continue reading

Some Thoughts

You’ll have noticed that I’ve not been posting a lot of Deadzone in the last few days. Well, I thought we all needed a change of pace for a day or two. However, I’ve still been working on it and … Continue reading

Soporific Subjects

Quirkworthy

I’ve spent most of the day catching up on paperwork, though naturally my brain was trying to focus on games (as ever). Normally I’m able to make pretty much any subject into a game idea, given a few minutes consideration, … Continue reading

Quirkworthy

This article reprinted by kind permission of Ravage magazine. I have too many games. Maybe you do too. My study is one of the largest rooms in the house and yet I hardly have room to move. Games and games … Continue reading

Deadzone – After Action Report

Quirkworthy

It’s weird. I’ve got so used to it over the last month that not having a live Kickstarter to check on is very strange. It’s OK though. I’m sure there will be another one at some point Still, lots to … Continue reading

What Can I Say?

Quirkworthy

Well thanks is the first thing. A huge thank you to all of Deadzone’s 4,306 backers who made this such an exciting ride. An even bigger thanks to those who’ve built the amazing boards I’ve seen pictures of on the … Continue reading
