In the last weeks I've been working some some additional pieces that will allow to use what I designed fro the "space corridor" to be used also for wargames like Warpath, Gates of Antares and of course Deadzone.
The other day I had some spare time and I printed the first batch of extra components, you can find some picture below.
To give you an idea about the size the squares printed on the paper sheet underneath are 3x3 inches.
Pretty much everything (beside the stairs) can be assembled without glue and those vertical connectors you can see on the sides have some holes that will fit some magnets in order to keep the various sections together.
Corvus Belli will release by the end of the summer a two player starter set for Infinity, I guess it's a great chance to try the game if you are curious about it!
These are the contents of the box:
- 2 balanced factions , the miniatures are in metal and they are completely new sculpts
- If you preorder the game you will receive a special release with two extra limited edition miniatures (one for each faction in the box)
- Some carboard terrain and a paper gaming mat
- Dices (with the faction logo) and cardboard tokens
- The rulebook of the third edition of the game
Some online retailer are also offering some pretty good deals, Wayland games has a preorder discount!

I've been thinking a lot about using laser printing on MDF recently, I have
lots of designs oiginally planned for the 3D printing but I have never
been able to realize them because the production cost will be insane.
With laser printing on some cheap material (like MDF) I could make a
more cost-effective product but of course the level of details needs to
be scaled down and I will be able to put the details just on one side of each face.
I've always wanted to make an urban game board and now Deadzone is
giving me a great excuse to take back from the closet some old designs,
the following pictures are some previews on what I'm working on, the
goals are:
- make them compatible with Deadzone (so every building is a multiple of 3")
- give them a visual style compatible with Deadzone terrain (it looks
awesome!), it woul be cool to mix my stuff with official deadzone
terrain
- make everything very cost effective, I want huge builings so each floor shouldn't cost more than 10 Euro
- make everything modular, I want to be able to configure the buildings as I like in a different way for each game. No fixed design but lots of alternatives
- each floor shold be big enough to look realistic and could be used with an array of different game systems (like infinity or warmachine for example)
these are a couple of rendering of my project, I just sent the designs to a third party laser cutting company and I'm waiting for the prototype.
p.s. the green thing you see below is a 30 mm tall cylinder used as reference for a 28mm miniature
