Into the Deadzone - Preparing for solo-gaming

"Blaine looked down on the screen in front of him. The picture showed a creature he had never seen before. It was purple and had tentacles coming out of its face and limbs, both hands and feet. Strange, why would anyone want to get a hold of a creature like that, even if it apparently was sentient and according to the contract dangerous. Well, this wasn't the first time Blaine ran into some dangerous humanoid creature that needed capture, probably not the last either so he wasn't worried. Hell, some people even considered Blaine dangerous.
- Blaine, Nexus Psi up ahead. Seems to be some kind of Enforcer blockade going on, said Freya.
Her words snatch Blaine out of his thoughts. Enforcer blockade, great...could only mean one thing. Nexus Psi had dropped of the star charts.
- Check the charts Freya, are we in the right place?
- Well...according to the charts we're in the middle of space...Nexus Psi is gone.
- Funny, since we are stirring at it, Blaine said as he turned towards Freya who was sitting in the crafts pilot seat.
- Yeah, I've closed down our transponder and minimized our electronic output. We should be safe from scans from the Enforcer fleet, Freya answered. She'd seen this happen before. As she thought about it a chill ran down her spine, she didn't like it...not a single bit...she knew what it had to mean...
- Find a hole in the Enforcer blockade, Freya. Take us down and let's get this snatch and grab over with. I'll go wake up sleeping beauty...she's going to love that this job takes us into the Deadzone."

This is my story of what took place on the planet Nexus Psi in the Galactic Co-Prosperity Sphere. As with Clashes in Immoren, Into the Deadzone will feature a venture to explore painting, modelling, gaming and the imaginative side of miniature wargaming. While Clashes in Immoren is focusing on the competitive side of wargaming, I'm thinking Into the Deadzone will feature solo-gaming at least until I find someone to play with. Having taken part in the Deadzone Kickstarter I have the Contagion supplement and therefore also A.I.-rules, which will be fun to try out. My Deadzone forces and terrain are slowly getting built and paint.

The cast of characters that we will follow in the Nexus Psi deadzone are Blaine, Freya and Nastanza who in my take on the game are a small group of mercenaries sent in with a contract to find and capture Project Oberon. As can be seen by their feet, they will run into a bunch of stage 3Z, plague zombies, among other things. There is still a lot to be done, and as can be seen in the picture (even if its bad quality) they are almost only undercoated. I worked on Project Oberon tonight and he is starting to look pretty good. Will need to get a better camera to show off how he really looks. He only needs a little bit of highlighting and then he's at tabletop standard.
