The Plague Begin To Infect Mantic’s Warpath Kickstarter
September 24, 2015 by brennon
Mantic Games have broken through a lot of different stretch goals for their Warpath Kickstarter and the focus now turns towards the Plague as they descend on their Sci-Fi world to spread panic and, well...the plague...
Once the stretch goal is unlocked there will be a focus on you being able to snap up a whole Battlegroup of these infected folk. The main backbone of your new force however are the 3rd Generation Plague troops who are those unfortunate enough to have survived the attacks on their outposts and have now turned into vicious killers.
They are looking fairly awesome and as you might have already guessed they are going to be a hard plastic kit. They've done a good job of making all of them look different which is exactly what you need when it comes to a ragtag mob like this.
The rest of the battlegroup contains models that you would have seen pop up in Deadzone alongside a horde of Plague Zombies just for good measure. I think this is certainly one of the factions people were looking forwards to popping up in Warpath.
Are you going to invest in the Plague?

wow the plague really levelled up with these guys .. hope the entire range gets an upgrade
Nuts, my wallet will be shrieking in protest once this Kickstarter finishes.
Many have been waiting for this army and for good reason.
yep, been looking forward to this for years
Everytime I see new Mantic stuff it’s looking really really good.
For me it’s no longer buy Mantic because it’s cheap, it’s now buy Mantic because it’s cheap and excellent.
Yeah, they’ve really upped their game in recent years.
Can anyone explain what the relationship, if any between Dead zone and Warpath. Is it just shared universe? Or will models work for both?
shared universe for DeadZone, Warpath and Dreadball. And DZ + WP models work for both 🙂
Yep, same universe. The best way to think about it is: Deadzone is a game about one squad on a mission, whereas Warpath is several squads (40K-sized) battling for control.
Haw Haw! Been waiting for an expanded plague army for ages now. And Mantic have not disappointed. After looking at the battle group on KS I can honestly say that my pants are well and truely creamed!
Ohh… these are looking nice and greebly! The plastic addiction continues. lol
Was just planning on getting the Forge Fathers but I might get these guys as well.
Plague, then Rebs?
I fear there will be no new Marauder battlegroup… Deadzone has added a couple of nice new Marauder models. It would have been great to get sizeable units of these…
I’d guess Asterians next. The word is Corporation, Z’zor and Marauders will be next KS sometime in the future (that is unless this one really explodes!).
