Also: is there any support for campaign play, with scenarios, territory and stat progression? That's ideally what I'm looking for in a Necromunda replacement/ upgrade.

And yes, there definitely is, though the campaign section is being rewritten for Deadzone Infestation because it wasn't as good as it could have been.

Part of the great appeal here is that both players have a secret mission, so you have to figure out what the other guy is trying to do so you can stop them. Unfortunately it's possible for the two missions to line up as an advantage for one player though. For instance I played a game where my mission was to get to the other side of the board, and my opponent's mission was to not die. He won because I was too busy trying to get across to kill his dudes.

Deadzone is legitimately making me think about playing a wargame that doesn't feature tie fighters for the first time in decades. Those space dwarves look too good and the starter is set is downright reasonable in price.

The only thing about the Deadzone starter is I think it still has the old Enforcers in it - the new plastic ones are a lot better than the old restic ones - easier to assemble, more detail and more options. They're in the Enforcer Support Booster for £10, along with a medic and some restic upgrade parts to make Defenders if you want.

Dinosaurs! This blog is an excellent source for dinosaur models. It points to the best stuff for anybody looking for models without huge feet or derpy faces or pronated hands or anything.

As I understand it, when second edition comes out in a few days they're releasing lists specifically to accommodate WFB refugees. I don't think they're up yet. But even if they're not, the game actively encourages proxying, so you'd be fine to run your lizardmen army as any of the other armies as long as you meet the relevant unit sizes etc.

I don't know where they are listed on the site, but the OP of this very thread links to the beta versions of the 2nd edition rules and lists. Or yeah, just wait til the end of the week for the (hopefully) better formatted PDFs. I hope next week sees a few youtube battle reports of 2nd edition; maybe a really popular group like miniwargaming will do a demo game or two. God knows they have enough models to run proxy any list imaginable.

Saw this in the GW Deathpool thread:Rick Priestly, extracts from the foreword for Kings of War 2nd Edition posted:“When asked to write these few introductory words I hardly expected to find myself writing the foreword to what is undoubtedly now the most popular mass-battle fantasy game on the market!” Wow, I hope the rest of the team got a mention in there somewhere, especially after what I heard about what shenanigans Alessio was up to.

To the Warhammer public, Alessio is still "that good designer who wrote a lot of good books a few editions ago." To be fair, they probably think that of anyone who isn't Matt Ward.

How big is the Deadzone deluxe mat? I was thinking of getting one for Infinity, but if I need 4 I might as well get it from gamemat.eu VVV E: ok, never mind then, it was to expensive anyway Not a viking fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Jul 7, 2015 |

2'x2', it also has a 3" grid on it - if Infinity hasn't moved from 'no premeasuring' yet, that'll be an issue.

He seems to be a great ideas guy, but then heads off into the distance and won't listen to constructive criticism. Which is not exactly a rare trait in games designers.
