The Rebs have such great potential, not just as a faction, but for modeling and kitbashing. If they made some kits with various alien bits that you could make your own custom dudes out of and stay up appropriately that would be awesome.
#4: I agree. Really hard to find and there is no list of stat to model. (PS: Salamander Lekelidon from KoW is the official Predator model for Matsudan) #3: There is even mention of Z'zor causing Deadzones in the lore. Personally, Crystallans would be my thing. So much design space for weird creations up to really big things and it would be a faction where you have shooty stuff in there. Z'zor afterwards (Nightstalkers are just too recent ;) ) #2 YES! More lore! Especially a bit more in the world building sector like fleshing out clans, corps etc. that makes the world broarder. Been working on the wiki as we need some kind of library to look stuff up, especially for newer players who don't own all of the old books. That showed how much is still needed, but also how solid the universe is if you know where to look. And real novels would be awesome. Looking forward to the Epic Warpath short story collection. Personally, this for me would be my biggest wish :) (#1: I think the factions are rather different, I get the Strider)
Thanks for watching and commenting. I think the points I made are really doable. I think that any alien race, Like Plague, Veermyn and Z'zor can have the council bring a Containment Protocol to a planet. That's what brings all the other factions to the Deadzone. I'd like more factions, but I'm a DZ Diehard!!!! I think the factions are diverse, but they need more. I'd like to see more uniqueness. You know, I can always help you with this stuff. Just sayin'. Lekelidon, got it.
Coach, @1:20 Bring Back Rebs -- agreed. To me, this faction should be the largest with the most options @2:00 Bring Back Tag -- I really need to sit down and fully learn the rules. I've heard you mention this rule before @3:38 Where are the models? -- they do seem to reuse the models. a Mantic-pedia is needed! @5:06 Expand the Factions! -- the point about Dreadball is a great one! They've already put a lot of work into making some unique and interesting races. Expand that! I think a lot of these could even be part of the rebs, like the teraton @8:20 Expand the Lore! -- I have never really read much of the lore stuff, but agreed, this seems to be a big thing. You raise a lot of good points. @11:37 Make the factions unique -- Agreed. That's what makes factions unique. I hear some complaints about the incoming new version of D&D removing a lot of unique-ness from the various races and such. I imagine this is difficult to do from a rule perspective and make things "fair" but you would know better than me.
I definitely like point number 4. Sometimes I forget that my knowledge of every model is not a normal thing 😂 I can’t understand why the website is so impossible to find models on, it’s kinda the whole point
I know all my models, but I only play Deadzone. I know there a bunch of guys like me. Would be nice to have them all in one place. Although, we are getting into KOW.
@@familyofgamers777 I'm like Tyler knowing the whole Mantic range! But as you've seen from my other comment, I'm pretty much on board with everything from a fan perspective (I've not gone into the rules part in detail as I'm too involved there ;) )
You make a alot of mention to wanting more stuff, more books, more models(striders etc.) If we get all this stuff I think it would greatly help your point of having more diverse factions. The obvious counter point would be that mantic isn't large enough to simply produce all that but I don't know. I guess my question boils down to does anyone know how big mantic actually is? They seem to have this vibe about them of just Ronnie and his gang of merry men, doing kickstarters to get projects funded and off the ground. Also having a rules committee made up entirely of volunteers lends to this idea. But at the same time they've taken on a great deal of brand name recognition including the walking dead, hellboy, worms and now halo and are also managing several original games which recieve semi regular updates. Not to mention the 3d printing service they run. All that seems to clash with the idea of this smaller startup company.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that It's difficult to say how much more mantic should be doing if I don't have any sense of their scale and their SOP.
@@Kparadies I know, but I've been with them from the start. This is just some of the stuff I'd like to see. Other than the Lore, everything else is very doable, no matter how big or small.
#5 TAG - Agree 100%, #4 Nightstalkers - hmmm Yep being a Sci-Fi guy and not a Fantasy Guy I had a real mission to find all the KOW models I wanted to buildfor Firefight & Deadzone - it was a quest and a mission but I got there however the website e-commerce needed to match and it did not so thats a marketing fail. #3...Dreadball - nah its dead game imho, LOl @ Rebs - really who cares about those guys all that history should be left where it is in the past.#2 WTB More Lore, #1 Factions - I agreee on the faction diversity but I disagree on tthe Strider, all the human factions share common heritage so totally feasable to be ubiquitious just like the Mule where the FF Iron Ancestor and Asterian Spectra are totally different like the Matsudon quadraped. Just my opinions, feel free to note & ignore.

That would be awesome. The first "Build your own Faction of Rebs". That could work.
Completely agree on all points. I can't wait till we get proper rebs and an expansion of the universe.
I am waiting for the Rebs, and I don't even play them. Thanks for watching. This was just my opinion.

#6: no more 0VP unit
See, i think 0VP units have their place, but I fee they should not be able to hold objectives. Take 30 Zombies, you wont win if they can't score.

Good points all around. I’d like to see them use them and shake things up.
