[@DreadPathZone]

Time stamps and chapters have been added for your convenience! Chickidy check it out!

[@Gumlass1]

Mantic should really hire you for their promos. That was great.

[@DreadPathZone]

Thank you!! Glad you had fun with it!

[@ClaudioMacShepherd]

This meme-fest was such a great overview of fluff and mechanics, it must be some kind of space sorcery! Well done Tyler, well done!

[@Girhin]

Couldn't have said it better!

[@DreadPathZone]

Thank you so much! Space Sorcery was my major in College!

Shared this with my kids -- who are always too lazy to read rulebooks. Good brief intro to the universe and the rules. We're coming from 40k, so I'm starting them with Firefight and adding in DeadZone later, which was weird because I rediscovered Warpath when I was looking for an alternative to Kill Team and found DeadZone, and also because it would have been much less expensive to start with DeadZone than asking them which factions they wanted and making it early Christmas, so I had to by both of them a Strike Force when one of them picked a faction not in a starter box, and then I coulnd't pick an army, so i got two, and then I had to buy terrain and dice and rulebooks seperately, and then I got the month wrong somehow when looking at my upcoming bills, so i went overbudget. And then of course there's no instructions and i think I have a couple of miscasts and a missing part or two, so of course the one guy in the whole company who answers emails is on vacation. But its fine because I also just recently discovred that even a dull hobby knife can manage to cut. So I won't be building models for the next couple days while my finger knits itself properly. I got all the Forge Fathers and Asterians built, at least, and hoping my oldest can be trusted with a hobby knife to build her own Marauders this weekend. She works with a kitchen knife, so maybe. But the two use quite different skills.

Fantastic job on this video! You crammed so much good info into less than 30mins which is quite the achievement. Very, very nicely done!

[@DreadPathZone]

Thank you! Had to keep it tight!

[@mattnutter8943]

Great video!! I hope Halo Flashpoint drives this great game higher in popularity ❤

[@DreadPathZone]

Only time will tell, but I’m excited about both games!

[@timunderbakke8756]

And here I am a year later getting the info because I got one intro game with a friend and now I’m scarily addicted. 40K player who wasn’t excited by kill team and liking both the different lore and the gameplay.

[@DreadPathZone]

Welcome to the best game on the market! We’re glad to have you!

[@colinmack8655]

So after workshop dropped nu kill team I have been looking at deadzone and wow. It looks so much better. Also mazon labs is umbrella crossed with Amazon.

[@DreadPathZone]

Deadzone is so great! I think you’ll like it a lot!

[@NewbieDice]

Yes so many memes in this video! definitely a lot of work! Thanks!

[@DreadPathZone]

Hope you got some laughs and enjoyed it!

[@kristoff7049]

This was a great video to watch while waiting for my starter set to arrive…. Thank you

[@DreadPathZone]

Exciting times!

[@Imhal13]

Great work. I can tell that must have been a huge project and it's deffo a fantastic presentation of the what, why, and how of Deadzone. WELL DONE!

[@DreadPathZone]

Thank you! That means a ton!

[@quinterx]

today, i ordered Deadzone, but after this cool presentation :D i am more overhyped then before LOL :D absolutly stunning presentation hahaha LOVE IT! More like this

[@severngamingnetwork]

Super cool vid dude, hoping to experience the Eight Train soon with my boy when we start!

[@DreadPathZone]

You are going to love it!!

[@WadeWeigle]

Faction selection makes me want to play Super Smash Brothers. Nice job on all the editing. It’s a fun video to watch.

[@DreadPathZone]

The whole goal was to make it fun, so I’m glad it paid off!

[@nealbarton7434]

Top video! I’ll be sharing this around with all the new players in my area

[@DreadPathZone]

Yes please! That’s the whole goal of this video is to get people into the game! That sounds fantastic!

[@TravDadGamer]

Fabulous. I never need to read a rulebook for DeadZone ever. This is all I require to get started. Instead of teaching me to fish, you gave me a laser rifle and pointed me to the pond full of fish. (I'm ordering the starter set this weekend 👍)

[@DreadPathZone]

That was the plan! Can’t wait for your journey to begin!

[@NoProcrastinationMiniatures]

Great video! It's giving me a big push to get back into DZ 👍👍

Thank you for this. I've just started playing Deadzone so this will be invaluable to me.

[@XShadoWPaws]

Excellent video, guy. There needs to be more Deadzone love on KZbin.

[@XShadoWPaws]

Also I literally finished reading the Warpath Sourcebook today. I was once a fool and loved exclusively Enforcers, GCPS, and Forge Fathers. Now I love Mauarders and Veer-Myn even more.

[@DreadPathZone]

@@XShadoWPaws it’s a fantastic universe and the world needs to know about it! Thanks for watching the video!

Just well done, sir, well done. Entertaining and informative, as they say. Thank you...waiting for my preorder to show up any day...I hope...or I have to play Frostgrave...thanks again

[@DreadPathZone]

So glad you had a good time with the video! Hope your 3rd Ed stuff gets to you soon!

[@Echo21py314]

Thank you so SO much for making this video. I have been wanting to get into Deadzone for 2 months now. But the problem was that I could not find a video that explained anything about the Factions. Now thanks to you I know more plus, I learned a few things about how to play the game. I am very excited to be playing this tabletop skirmish now. I cannot wait to see more of your videos about Deadzone 3E. I was wondering if there is any chance you could make a video about how each Faction works? I know it would be a great undertaking (a lot more that editing I know which was a great job btw) but I do not want to buy every faction if I do not have too, Thanks again for an amazing video.

[@DreadPathZone]

I’m so happy my video was helpful and a good watch for you! I’m starting to conceptualize how I’m going to do faction videos, they are going to take some time but they will be awesome. Welcome to Deadzone and welcome to the best game ever!

[@Echo21py314]

Thank you so much for the warm welcome.

[@Echo21py314]

I look forward to more great videos. Good luck writing and editing!

Fantastic!!!

[@87paulsmith87]

I'm really enjoying your deadzone videos. Anything you can do about 320p quality though? Some more definition would be massive QOL upgrade here.

[@DreadPathZone]

I honestly don’t know why this video processed at a lower quality but it’s too late to change it now. I really don’t understand but hopefully it isn’t too distracting

[@zooscientist1]

Good Video - is there a campaign like in Necromunda?

[@DreadPathZone]

There are some slightly older campaigns that will still work great if you are interested in leveling up characters and having the same war band

[@arthurmensing3869]

Wow! That video was top notch! I have a bunch of friends who play another minature game and I despise the rule set it has. You just convinced me this is something that is more up my alley. The factions, the terrain, and most importantly the rule set. Going to have to get the new starter set now. Thanks for making me spend more money! Lol. Btw where is the terrain from in the last shot of the video? Thanks!

[@DreadPathZone]

That’s so excellent to hear! Deadzone is the best rule set, it doesn’t get in the way of itself. That’s the official terrain from my personal collection there at the end, it’s awesome stuff

[@arthurmensing3869]

Can you use other terrain with this or does the "square movement thing" make that difficult? I have Battlesystems and Tinkerturf terrain.

[@DreadPathZone]

@@arthurmensing3869 I’ve tried to use battle systems and it works well enough but I highly recommend terrain that fits the 3x3 grid. You don’t have to use the official stuff but the better it fits in the grid system the better it will work

[@arthurmensing3869]

I want the stuff that's going to be the easiest so official terrain it is. My wallet hates you again. Lol

[@DreadPathZone]

@@arthurmensing3869 the official stuff is so much fun to put together though, it’s like lego for war gamers (just don’t use glue because you don’t need to)

[@DeadzonethePodcast]

Epic!!

[@DreadPathZone]

That’s what we do around here..

[@kataro89]

Great video and lots of stuff you covered. But I know you didn't go through every single detail, but only thing is cube measuring is something I'll have to get use to. Like climbing and going up stairs and such. Also having if there isn't a clear gride on the terrain how do you play on that?

[@DreadPathZone]

Well you need a grid on the ground level at least, the terrain doesn’t have to fit into the cubes exactly (obviously it works better when it does) but you need a grid on the floor for ease of gameplay

Love your terrain! I already got the Terrain from the 3rd Edition Starter box and the Gang Warzone. Now I was wondering if its worth it to get more of the Starter Box terrain to get a similar "Cyberpunk" vibe like you got.

[@DreadPathZone]

Check out my video about how I cyberpunked my terrain!

@@DreadPathZone Watched it already! Its really cool! Do you still remember how many and what type of terrain boxes you used for all that?

[@addeee7240]

Nice vid

[@BlizzAz]

Awesome video. The only thing that coulda made it better was a clip from Archer for that "Insert phrasing joke" bit at the end. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to check my email for the 45th time today to see if there's a shipping notice from Mantic...

[@DreadPathZone]

Glad you enjoyed it! I can’t wait til everyone has their 3rd edition!

[@zacharyglenn7110]

Stop, you're gonna make me get into ANOTHER wargame and drain my wallet even more 😅

[@DreadPathZone]

To be fair it’s a smaller buy in than a lot of other games out there, and it’s the best on the market! Glad you watched the video!

[@carlosiyanaszca]

it funny how u reference halo bcs they are making a halo board game with dead zone rules

[@DreadPathZone]

I’m here for it!

[@Pannlord]

Longtime Rebs player here. Totally agree that the faction was absolute hot garbage in first edition, I think I had a winrate of maybe 10%. Second edition was just overpowered, my winrate has been something like 85-90%. After seeing the nerfs in third edition, I expect that number to plummet - hopefully to a reasonable level.

[@ClaudioMacShepherd]

I loved them in 1st, really changed my playstyle to full on objective play, which I'm glad for. But it was a crazy uphill battle xD in 2nd a few units were just outperforming, which made them an overall really strong faction (together with many options). Now throughout the faction things should be way more balanced, nerfing them overall because of getting rid of the spikes, but for the better. At some point I want to try out a Zee rush...! Loved them in 1st, never took them in 2nd :( And, fitting the video here: "Ah, you're a man of culture aswell!"

[@DreadPathZone]

I think rebs are in a good place now in 3rd Edition

[@bombarded15]

00:56 I loved the mission cards, having asymmetrical objectives gave each faction more flavor :( Though most of my games were plague against Enforcers and almost all the missions being kill based wasn't great haha

[@DreadPathZone]

There are a few missions in 3rd edition that are more attacker/defender where objectives are slightly different depending on what side of the table you are on. It might be fun to bust out the ol version 1 mission cards sometime just to switch it up and see how it goes though…

[@samsowden]

@@DreadPathZone the incoming intel deck is still very much valid in 3rd.

[@aj2ud]

Love your video. Anyway to get time stamps on each faction?

[@DreadPathZone]

I know there is a way to do chapters, let me mess with it later and hopefully I can get it all stamped for you!

I need to get back into Mantic Gaming and Deadzone, did they change the Orders dice that we need to buy new ones, or are our old ones still good?

[@DreadPathZone]

If you have command dice they have always been the same, only change rules wise is you can use any dice to make a single D8 reroll regardless of what symbol is rolled

[@squallgoku777]

@@DreadPathZone Ah like in Dreadball2 where you can burn a card to reroll a single die, you can burn a die to get that reroll. Hey, since you are the Mantic Games expert, I have a Dreadball2 question, is there anyway to block someone from trying to score a target hex by standing in the target hex, or in the way of the target hex?

[@DreadPathZone]

@@squallgoku777 I haven’t played dreadball in quite a while but if I remember correctly you can, but the the way the strike hexes are shaped means you can’t entirely block it with one character because you can go to the sides
