FIREFIGHT & DEADZONE RULES UPDATES

*** TRANSMISSION BEGINS ***

- - - INCOMING MESSAGE… SOURCE: DATALINK-MZL997-X2-V1… SUBJECT: BATTLEFIELD OBSERVATIONS AND CAPABILITY REVIEW - - -

The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed a few updates to the Firefight and Deadzone areas of the Mantic Companion. These are exciting times for the Warpath Universe!

With the release of the brilliant Mazon Labs Strike Force this week for Firefight, the beta list is now available in the Mantic Companion for you to review the units in the list and start planning your corporate takeovers… and your dubious experiments! “Beta” means that we’ll listen to your feedback on the list and then publish the official list in print later in the year (and of course update the Companion at the same time).

Also, in tandem with the fantastic Forge Father releases, we’ve provided beta updates to the corresponding profiles in BOTH Deadzone and Firefight. Amazing! No matter whether you play Deadzone or Firefight you get to check out and use the new rules for these cool new kits. And if you play both (of course you do!) – then it’s double the fun.

Firefight Unit Updates

• Forge Lord
• Brokkr Valkyr
• Hammerfist Drop Troop
• Iron Ancestor

Deadzone Unit Updates

• Forge Lord
• Thorgarim Huscarl
• Hammerfist Drop Troop
• Thorgarim
• Brokkr Valkyr

But that’s not all! Ahead of finalizing all these beta updates later in the year, we’ve also made some tweaks to some of the outliers in Firefight currently, to address some balance issues and give players confidence their opponent isn’t going to be fielding 157 copies of “THE MOST BROKEN UNIT EVER^TM ”. So things like the Enforcer bomber have been adjusted, and the mismatch between the Veer-myn plastic kit and the Crawler and Stalker profiles has been corrected. All these are marked as beta changes, again for feedback before publication ahead of lots more exciting Firefight updates we have planned for you later in the year.

The adjusted units to look out for are:

• Veer-myn Crawlers and Stalkers
• Veer-myn Progenitor and Malignus
• Forge Father Drakkar APC, Brandr, Sturnhammer
• Forge Father Master Artificer
• Enforcer Persecutor Bomber and Engineer Team

All these changes should be clearly marked as 2023 beta in the Mantic Companion, so it’s easy to find them. To submit feedback, you can add a message into the Firefight and Deadzone Fanatics groups on facebook, or drop us an email at [email protected] which we’ll forward to the appropriate RC. You can send us the results of your unsanctioned Plague experiments too if you like. However, your contact details WILL be passed to Mazon Labs for “processing”.
