Even as the races in the Warpath universe tear themselves apart in fierce battles on the fringes of space, so to do they tear themselves apart on the DreadBall pitches of the far future.

1) Awesome Rewards

Kickstarter projects allow you to get involved on the ground floor – you help make things happen and can have your say on rules development, the look and feel of the miniatures and more. In exchange, you get a hefty discount and plenty of awesome rewards we couldn’t make elsewhere…

Veteran Pledge Level

The Jack ($45/£34) pledge level is perfect for players looking to get the essential items to upgrade their collection for 2nd Edition, but it’s Striker ($100/£75) where new players and collectors should be heading. It currently includes two £18 teams, a new pitch, all the exclusives PLUS every stretch goal, with a third team up next.

BONUS: Make a sweet deal even sweeter!

Often the add-ons are just as exciting as the pledge levels. Here’s our pick of the bunch!

Welcome to the Jungle

In a league of its own

Containing 3 DreadBall pitches, 3 counter sets, 3 RefBots, a whole bag of balls and 3 card decks, adding this set onto Striker gives you enough bits for an 8 person league! Oh, and it’s this price for the Kickstarter only.

Ultimate DreadBall

With a new shape and new artwork (don’t worry, you can still use the new Ultimate rules with your old pitch), we’ve got a brand new Deluxe Ultimate Gaming Pitch too.

Shake it off!

Let’s face it, we’re all addicted to dice. Especially dice with custom logos. But when those custom dice come with unique DreadBall Dice Shakers and a Dice Bag then it’s just very hard to resist!
