Mantic Prepare Their Asterian & Forge Father Sets For Deadzone
August 15, 2014 by brennon
While the Dungeon Saga Kickstarter is still going there are also some additions to the Deadzone line-up coming up. Both the Asterians and the Forge Fathers will be hitting soon from Mantic Games...
Both the robotic Asterians led by their enigmatic leader and the Forge Fathers with their heavy armour and big guns will be coming to Deadzone and mixing things up alongside the other factions. Of all the kits I'm most looking forward to checking out the Forge Guard and the Brokkr closer up. I might end up playing the game too, who knows!
Will you be going for Asterians or Forge Fathers?

Think the Forge Fathers guys look fantastic, going to be my Deadzone faction of choice I think!
Orange jumpsuits all the way 🙂
More stuff to join the ton of madness. I have to think about colour schemes.
Very poor.
Hogwash, those Brokkrs are some of the nicest 28mm figures released this year for any system. Asterians are pretty good too, though the posing could be described as a little off on some of them.
Now of course they’ll need some work mold line removing and perhaps some straightening here and there, but no more work than one would have to do to any metal or resin figure and once you know the technique (and ideally have the tools) it’s only fractionally slower than styrene.
Beginning to regret throwing all my Kickstarter pledge at Enforcers now…
Really funny that you say hogwash and then go on to list the points why they are so poor.
Maybe I deserve the thumbs down for my lack of arsedness in listing out these points but for anyone that has already had their fingers burnt from buying from mantics range will already know of the subpar resin and molding/casting, as for the posing……whats going on with the Forgefathers?
Tools, if you persist in the foolhardy act of actually buying these minis I would also by files of various grades as your normal mold line remover will struggle.
I really wasn’t sure what to like or not to like until you came along, thanks! Sarcasm aside, like all models these do require some prep. PVC based plastic with mould lines. Same as resin, Hard plastic, and metal. Sometimes they”ll need more work or no work at all. Files or a sharp knife work best. After that we’re in the realms of opinion. I really like the offerings here (did I mention those Forge Guard are HP? no?), and I have the FF starter coming form KS. I’m gonna be bulking it out with more upgrades from the boosters.… Read more »
Sarcasms great man, made me laugh.
Look fella can I remind you that it was an opinion, clearly it is an opinion, does that need some clarification?, well you’ve got it, anyhow morat’s post sparked a further response from me to explain myself, and in my opinion they are tripe.
You seem like an intelligent chap so take it on the chin fella and if your interested I have some Deadzone for sale (nearly new, ha), pm me on it dude.
And another thumbs down, not cool.
I’m not a fan of the Forge Father figures either. They’re the only faction I didn’t bother adding to my collection.
