Holy crap if they actually have those guns in the specified quantities and look that awesome then I am in.

If they make those and they look half as good as the sketches I will most likely have to start a IG army of some sort.

That's an utterly ridiculous suggestion, worthy only of mockery and derision. No serious collector or gamer would tolerate such a bastardisation of the language, a compound abortion of a word. Hang your head in shame sir.

Clearly it should be called RESIC!

Corporation pre-order deals are now up, no vehicles included with these, just men with energy swords, heat guns and drop packs.

Check the deals here: http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Warpath/Corporation.html

Damn, ninja'd by 7 seconds!

Still, I like 'em!

Eh, not bad I guess. Better than the CAMERA box WGF heavies. With the smallest deal its roughly $2 per model.




Looks pretty spot on too I guess with the concept art. No backpack though????

Those look really good. Better than I expected, really. I hope the standard troopers have some more action poses, though. That one guy is just standing there with his gun. I hope they have pics of a full painted up squad soon.

Chances are we won't see the full options and painted models until after the pre-order period is over, like with the other armies.

I think it is safe to say that Mantic have surpassed themselves after the mixed opinion on the first two Warpath ranges. What impressed me most was the level of detail the faces have. Overall the detail is very high, so Well done Mantic!

Very impressive.

They should stop doing plastic and concentrate on restic. ;-) Much better results. I like those troopers a lot so far. With enough action poses they should be mighty nice.

Those figures actually look really nice. The details are surprisingly good.

That's a nice looking lascannon.

Figures look good, I especially like the officer.

These aren't bad at all. I'm very tempted to pick up the £150 army deal. I guess we'll see if the offer is still up in 2 weeks, when I can manage to swing £150 from my pay.

The figures are not bad, especially the "Hero" figure with the sword. However, I donät think these are particularly better than what GW has on offer, the walking guy looks somehow awkward, and the other guys simply look ok.

I've given up hope that Mantic will (at least any time soon) offer a mass infantry wargame that rivals the current market leader, and this latest offering hasn't dented that stance one littel bit.

I don't think they're especially better than GW per se. They're quite decent, though. Some are on a par (the officer and the binoc guy) - and at a fraction over £1 a figure for the big deal, post free, I can certainly dig it! These are certainly better than the Orx and the Forgefathers, both of which I was a critic of.

I've got no illusions that Warpath will anything 40k, but I've always loved me some good-quality human sci-fi troopers. The fact that almost all ranges of human sci-fi troopers can be slotted in as IG just makes things even better! (hey, maybe I should paint my metal Warzone guys!)

Not going to judge before i see the actual plastics. However if the plastic do turn out as GREAT as what we are seen right now,
from an unbiased point of view compared to GW plastic cadians.

- way better proportion
- better aesthetic design ( subjective )
- better sculpt ( the clothing part is O.M.G well its as if im looking at a FW sculpt TBH )

con- I know im going to spend more money creating my Aliens USCM

pro- They look almost identical to USCM "Rogue"

Also, who wants to buy my Cadians gunline army? wont need them if i get these >:'D

No plastic. Those are going to be resin-plastic. And if they become plastic, if the past is anything to use as a reference, they will be quite inferior to the restics. One can hope though that they will be able to produce plastics that are on par e.g. with their undead. I like those models better then the Cadians so far.

I was impressed. I think that they are an excellent marriage of reasonable price and decent quality. I dunno that I would shell out for a big army of them, but if I wanted human sci fi troopers, they'd be one of my first ports of call.

Hm, I think I shall order the ultimate deal.. Those models are pretty amazing, and I can use them as an army for my inquisitor that looks very different from the cadians

I wouldn't order any deals whatsoever right now until I see painted pictures and sprues. What there is is nice, but I'll have to see some more photos before I spend a penny.

Meh. I like Defiance's offering a bit more; much better than the quasi fantasy dwarfs and orks but for the price not enough to sway me.

They should fire Bob Naismith and let some better sculptors work in plastic.

Awesome stuff, I hope they have some more helmeted options (with mouth and eyes covered), if they do will definitely get one of the army deals.

Doesn't matter what the miniatures are made of until they fix the wonky rules.

Liking what I see! They look visually impressive and have the best price tag over most other companies.

Like most people I will wait to see all the variations of the models before I make a purchase as I need to be confident that they all look as good as the ones shown.

It dont matter the wonky rules, i want them for 40k

Those are great, and i will surely pick some, IMHO, they are a lot better than cadians, with armours that look sci-fi, true scale and great sculpts. The price os just a plus...

You say that like people want these figures for something other than 40k.

Another nail in the GW coffin. These minis look the buisness. I'll buy them to spite GW
Recently, I've been anti-GW on my threads, but after buying their stuff for 20+ years, I've thron in the towel. The last straw was when I worked out how many points a beastman battlaion was giving you for your cash. Total rip-off. Now I've decided to buy only from other companies = payback time!

Oh wow, these are excellent. I'll keep them in mind for sure, although I'd want to see pictures of full squads and such before I buy in.
