Mantic’s Deadzone Competiton & The Awesome Stuntbot!
July 5, 2014 by brennon
Mantic Games have not only got a big bumper competition for their community members but also an awesome look at the Marauders walker, the Stuntbot! We can't have the Orcs being left out when it comes to big stompy machines can we!?
The Stuntbot is coated in weapons including a Thermal Cannon, a Flamer, and a Buzzsaw and of course it isn't a push over either. A highly trained goblin pilots this mech and makes sure that everything works properly! I don't think it's as cool as the Strider and its variants but I reckon that a lot of Marauder fans are going to enjoy this.
Unlike the Strider this miniature is going to be a resin kit with lots of detail and a hatch that moves up and down!
As I mentioned above there is also a big Deadzone competition running over on the Mantic Blog where you could win yourself a copy of Deadzone, a Starter Faction Box and a Booster for the faction of your choice.
Just bring on the Forge Fathers soon!

Ooh I like the Stuntbot. Just as well I am getting one from the Kickstarter 🙂
I may need more…
This model screams “Comrade Red Star” at me… it would seem the stereotyping of soviet-era fantasy panzerbots has happened!
…and also it gives me the theme for my DZ band of orx that I have been casting about for since I got them from the KS.
Pictures of your orx. We need them, Komrade.
When is all this instant-buy stuff available to the public eh ?
One really doesn’t want to wait ’til next year…
Looks like it could be used as a replacement ssu mech figure at a push.
Love the little guy inside though.:)
Can’t say I agree with you . . . I like the Striders, but I prefer the Stuntbot.
And much as I like the Forge Fathers, it’s the Asterians I’m most interested in.
Does look a lot like the original dread from space crusade. But better though.
I’m rather glad that this really has no resemblance to any GW ork walker. The more they further themselves from the image as the cheap knock off of 40K the better. As they grow as a company I look forward to their “unique” take on sci-fi wargaming.
I like how t he stuntbot’s feet almost look like hooves on a horse.
It’d look great while smashing some plagued units ^_^
