Mantic’s Warpath Deathzone Teasers… (on Twitter)

Mantic’s Kickstarter-drive for the Warpath: Deathzone miniature skirmish game is soon upon us. I’ve had a love-hate relationship with Mantic so far. One thing that is undeniable, however, is that Mantic’s by now a true master of stirring up publicity for their products (on Kickstarter especially).

And they seem to have a whole lot of fun doing it too.

Have a look at Mantic’s latest Twitter-Shenanigans to drum up (viral) attention for the imminent Warpath: Deathzone Kickstarter.

Warpath: Deadzone Kickstarter is Coming April 26

For a start, there is now a Deadzone countdown running (similar to the one they had for DreadBall), which confirms that the Warpath Deadzone Kickstarter will go live on April 26.

That certainly fits with Mantic’s “fake” announcement of Deadzone from April Fools Day.

So far, so good.

The Twitter Mission

Far more fun, Mantic appears to have set up three Twitter accounts (possibly more?), which mimic the communication between different Warpath Corporation units as they foray into space. An expedition that will surely end with the disastrous outbreak of the Plaque for Warpath… the setting for the Warpath: Deadzone game.

Here are the three Twitter accounts I am aware of:

@Corp_Central

@six_alpha

@Recon_N3

This is masterfully done, Mantic. And great fun.

Hats off!

P.S.:

Oh… before I forget.

As I noted in this post, one of the things a lot of people are looking forward in Mantic’s Warpath Kickstarter are the prospects of (affordable?) 28mm sci-fi plastic terrain.

There’s a teaser-pic for that too!

What do you think?
