Command Protocols Escalation Hits Mantic’s Deadzone
May 27, 2019 by brennon
Mantic Games has expanded upon the world of Deadzone once more with Command Protocols: Escalations. Things are hotting up with new squads and more hitting the battlefield.
This new book features rules for adding ruthless mercenaries into the mix for each of the factions. Plus, you'll also find rules for taking an entirely mercenary squad in the game too. Inside the book, you'll also find rules for multi-mat games which expand your tactical options and ways to include interactive terrain in your games.
The Rebs are also getting themselves a new range of fighters as you'll see in their new Starter Set below.
Is that Winston from Overwatch I see there? I think the Rebs have always been my favourite faction from the Warpath universe as you get to paint all kinds of awesome alien characters.
The Veer-Myn have also got themselves some additional support with the Volt Chasers. You can also get yourself a new Starter Set for them too!
Now that is a cool looking new set of models for these epic space rats. I love the way all of these soldiers have been augmented and tweaked to become deadlier killing machines. Of course, if Deadzone isn't your thing you could also take these into Warpath and beyond too.
Another of the Starter Sets is for the deadly Nameless. This alien menace is on the warpath and presents you with a nice evil force!
A few larger creations have also been added into the mix too. The goblins are seriously getting an upgrade!
Big Mechs & Monsters
You will have seen this fellow in render form a couple of months ago but now Bolts is a reality.
This fellow would be a great new leader for your Marauder force, armed and armoured to the nines! I love the idea of this crazy goblin rocking around in a massive suit, especially with the helmet down. You can also get another Stuntbot for the Marauders too.
Last but not least from our picks we also have another beast for the Nameless, the Feromite Prime. This is another tentacle beast from the shadows of space!
There is a lot to be excited about if you're a Deadzone player thanks to Mantic this month. Again, if the skirmishing of Deadzone isn't quite for you there's also the choice of using these in Warpath and its larger battles too.
Will you be snapping up these releases for Deadzone?

Ordered the book, mission cards and the new volt chasers, who doesnt need electric rats?
Good lad … more strength to your arm
Got a lot of the Star Saga minis already, book and cards ordered. Really love what Mantic do with their systems with the campaign books to rebalance and add to keep the game fresh rather than just allowing “codex creep” with new releases
Bolts looks amazeballs
It all looks bloody fantastic … love the big gorrilla guys in the Rebs
Love the Stunt Bots, already have 2, not sure it is enough!
new giant gun and rippy fist
Nothing exceeds like excess 😉
the figures look great love the nameless.
Already ordered the book because last year’s version was brilliant.
I backed Star Saga quite heavily and already had a lot of Deadzone stuff so it’s great to see Deadzone rules for the Star Saga stuff. All I need now is some Warpath rules for Rebs because somehow I have managed to build a collection of them that’s starting to get a bit silly.
Warpath is a great game too (both iterations of it) … you won’t regret it
I don’t know whether to pick up the Rebs set or wait for the Star Saga expansion that they will be in. Anyone know when it’s out?
I am trying real hard to be a good lad and wait until the “local” distributor of Mantic stuff puts this up, so I can order it from them and there by hopefully grow the local scene by ensuring a demand for product rather than order direct from Mantic but BUT they have only just done the Vanguard goblin stuff … so it won’t be for another month at least and …. and …… damn it THEY ARE TAKING TOO BLOODY LONG !!!!!! … *gasp* *pant* *sigh* ….. itall looks so good …. *drools*
