From the latest Kickstarter update: "The Rulebook is in Print!
Posted by Mantic Games (Creator)
Thank you to everyone who participated in the our public play-testing. Your feedback was invaluable and we continued to make changes based on it right up until the last minute, Which is why I am now able to announce that…
The Deadzone Rulebook has gone to print!
After much a lot of proof reading (and some more double checking on top of that), we have sent the files off to the printers to be turned into a stunning new hardback book. This new rule book will include full rules for playing games of Deadzone, which have been clarified, streamlined and re-balanced, all with your help!
There will be full force lists for each faction, special rules and equipment to customise your strike teams with, scenarios and a revamped campaign section. This is almost the last step in our preparations for dispatch. We’re now just waiting on the final pieces of stock to arrive at the warehouse. We’ve double and triple checked out picking sheets and stock levels and have done some testing, too. We will begin sending pledges out to backers in late March.
On top of that, we've finished painting on some of the new models for them to be used in the book - take a look!
Marauder Sky Scraper
Ogre Terminator
Teraton Shock Trooper "
No Space Marine Wannabe Snipers though..... Enjoy!

Nice! look forward to seeing how the streamlined version goes, though i do wish these games companies would play test properly and stop bringing out 'v 1.2 appendix F with new shiny cover' every five minutes.
Gits.

Gits. Well, their stated aim is to emulate GW. .. My name is Dyslexic of Borg. Your ass will be laminated.

So, the new rulebook has arrived (in pdf form) and from their FB page, it looks like the hard copy will be pushed out soon.
Now to read, inwardly digest, and regurgitate!

Cool. Let me know if there's any big differences or if it's worth buying

Went onto Mantic Games recently. They're selling fairly large squads of enforcers and cool looking jet bikes. Has the game expanded to a more platoon level thing?

The jetbikes are in there somewhere, but they're bringing out a 40K game and a Killteam game as well....

They already have a 40k game don't they? From what I remember the comments said it was pretty basic. Maybe they're revamping the same as DZ2. Not too sure how jet bikes fit into a compact urban environment, but will have to get a game in to see

I think it's just a trimmed down version of the larger game. I also seem to recall it hehe Warpath game will ship with both versions.

Where do I get the new rules? Are the stat cards/points cost different as well? If so, where do I get them?

My copy came with the kickstarter. Cards are no longer used, instead you have command dice which work in a similar way. TBH, I've not read them fully as all our focus has been on V1 of the rules...

Let me know if you want to road test it dude. I'm tempted to buy the jet bikes and pathfinder platoon anyway as they're so cheap, and would fit into my neglected second Warzone Bauhaus army.
