Meet the Armies of DEADZONE
Take a look at all of the forces available for this game of battles on forsaken worlds.
In Deadzone elite strike teams battle on worlds erased from existence. Quarantined worlds filled with aliens and mutants bent on destruction, and every move could the team’s last. The goal: survival. Players command a strike team – made up of 5-10 models from one of 7 factions – through a decaying urban landscape to capture critical objectives while attempting to out maneuver and out battle the enemy.
Let’s take a look at the forces you can choose from…
With Deadzone released a month ago, we thought we’d take a look through some of the factions that are available and those that will soon be on order.
Enforcers
The ruthless secret army of the GCPS, the Enforcers create and maintain Deadzones. Equipped with the best weapons and armour that credits can buy and unwaveringly dedicated to the Council of Seven, they are a mobile, devastating force on the battlefield. Elite basic troopers are backed up by a wide variety of specialists, allowing the Enforcers to excel in any role that they choose, calling upon the swift Jetbikes or tough Peacekeepers in support.
Forge Fathers
Stubborn and uncompromising, the Forge Father Star Realm sees Deadzones as an opportunity to exploit resources that the GCPS has missed and now, apparently, abandoned. Thanks to their heavy armour and stern constitution, they can wade through withering amounts of fire, whilst answering back in kind. From Magma Cannons to Inferno Drills, the Forge Fathers are unmatched in ranged combat. They may be outnumbered by their enemies, but will never be outgunned.
Veer-Myn
An insidious threat to civilised races, the Veer-Myn can often be found living in the bowels of spaceships or stellar colonies. They breed and experiment rapidly, until they reach an unstoppable critical mass. It is at this point they burst forth form their hiding places, bringing all manner of overgrown beasts and diabolical weapons in their wake. At the head of the swarms is the disturbed intelligence that leads them. The Brood Mother and her Progenitors direct their charges with strategy and cunning far beyond what is thought possible of such creatures.
Asterians
The mysterious Asterians strive for balance in all things. The other races in the cosmos seem doomed to self destruction and it is the purpose of the Asterians to guide them away from this path, lest the universe becomes unbalanced by their conflict. They will intervene directly when they need to – deploying highly specialised Cyphers and Drones to Deadzones. Each of the Strike Teams will be tasked with specific objectives, from eliminating an enemy commander, to influencing the outcome of a battle. Balance must be preserved.

Not everyone bows willingly to GCPS rule. There are dissidents and resistance cells. While disorganised and poorly equipped, these rebels are survivalists throughout. Only the best of their number will risk a Deadzone, for the promise of valued supplies and munitions is too good to pass up. These groups are made up of a dizzying array of races that have fled the GCPS, from the stealthy Yndij to the pacifist Judwan. Each of these ‘aliens’ bring their own skills and attributes to the fold, which are always welcome, despite the racial tensions that exist within the Rebs.
Marauders
Maruaders excel in warfare. Physically strong and brutally intelligent, they can fight like no other race. They tend not to take sides in conflicts, instead fighting on a mercurial basis. They will take risks and fight for anyone who pays enough. Even then, their pay is invariably spent on better combat hardware, manufactures by various GCPS Corporations. Bulky Ripper Suits mount heavy weapons, raging Mawbeasts have explosives hastily strapped to them, while Goblins operate retro-fitted mechanical equipment, toting powerful oversized weapons.
