It looks like Mantic is keeping the new releases on the way as a bunch of new Deadzone Plague Boxsets are hitting pre-order now!
Their releases lately have been pretty crazy, exampled by the insane starter for Firefight (you get 70 minis for only $130), you can check that out here. This time though, we’ll focus on something a little more frightening, the Plague!
These are on pre-order now (at the time of writing this) but are releasing soon on May 9th! So basically no time at all to wait, and you shouldn’t wait to order! Let’s take a closer look at what you can score.
Plague Infection Starter: $40
There are a decent number of minis inside and for the price, hard to beat! If you want to see what else Mantic has been releasing, check that out here!
When the Plague attacks a corporate outpost or installation, the most fortunate victims are the ones killed outright in the assault. Those that are not, that are instead infected by the Plague, find themselves transformed and remade. Their souls and personalities are lost, subsumed to the aims and ambitions of the Plague itself. These are its foot soldiers, numerous and cheap, doomed and expendable.
- 10x Plastic Plague 3rd Generation troopers
- 1x Resin Plague Sentient
- 11x 25mm Round Bases Sprue
- 1x MDF 40mm Round Base
Plague Outbreak Booster: $40
A Plague infection can rapidly spread throughout a population centre, converting or killing without any apparent prejudice or preference. Some victims will become Stage 3 forms, retaining a modicum of intelligence alongside the savage destructiveness the Plague imparts. Most, however, appear to lose even that last piece of their humanity and devolve into shambling wretches, a kind of cannibalistic ‘herd’, seemingly incapable of anything but the most basic motor functions – move, kill, and consume.
- 10x Plastic Plague Zombies Sprue
- 10x 25mm Round Bases
- 2x Resin Plague Swarm
- 2x MDF 40mm Round Bases
Plague Corruption: $25
Bigger than a Plague Lord and more powerful than an Aberration, the hulking creature known as a Corruption is a rare and terrifying sight. Four, thick arms ripple with muscle under shifting flesh, each ending in a boulder-like fist. Its lower jaw can dislocate and split into two – allowing it to swallow most victims whole. Along its back, a hard carapace is topped with wicked-looking spikes of bone. And like a Plague Lord, it has the intelligence to command.
That does it for this one! Just something awesome to pre-order now!
