THOSE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE...HATE YOU.

These are the dregs of the Death Fields sport: the washouts, the mental cases, the warriors who just can't cut it or the teams whose strategy, training, or cunning have fallen behind new, younger franchises... These are also the one final chance for an owner to profit. 

Cobbled together into a horde and given basic weaponry, the typical Cannon Fodder bout is an ugly display of sheer numbers thrown at a standard roster team. Defeat is an almost foregone conclusion, but not always, and audiences often root for these men, women, and beings sent to fight to a final, Real Death.

This box set includes enough parts to build 30 hard plastic troops with standard rifles and plasma weapons along with grenades, pistols, backpacks, and other accessories to customize your force. Four different head types allow for very different looks for your team. Alternatively you can use them for planetary or near future militia, escaped prisoners, starship crew, and more.

6 body sprues and 5 weapon sprues included.

Models require assembly and painting. Bases are not included. Product contents may vary from photos.

Edward Q. ★★★★★

The lore on the washouts and mental cases is brutally funny—I actually laughed out loud reading the backstory before my group's first session. The game's descriptions for the cannon fodder units make them feel like more than just expendable tokens on the board.

Isabella Y. ★★★★★

Picked this up for my Death Fields campaign and the "washouts" mechanic adds a cool layer of desperation to every match. The rulebook does a great job making you feel like you're scraping by with broken gear and crazy teammates.

Victoria R. ★★★★★

The washout roster is what sold me, honestly. Playing a team of screw-ups who barely hold it together is way more fun than commanding elite soldiers, and the "those who are about to die hate you" angle gives every match a scrappy, desperate feel I didn't expect to enjoy this much.
