Re: Subforums for Infinity and Mantic. As far as I know, this is being planned and soon to be worked on (although I don't know how long it will take to actually implement). So patience, guys, your voices have been heard

They look taller to me (imagine the Infinity dudes standing up straight), but not as much as I remember. I guess the Mantic dudes could work.

Maybe a hair taller... but a LOT thinner

That is great new RiTides!

Apparently the 'Crazy Bag' is now out of stock. However, they still have the £20 for 20 sprues offer up on the website: http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Special-Offers/Product/Mantic-Crazy-Bundle-20-Sprues.html

The Mantic subforum now exists, so get in there and start talking about Mantic to help build interest in their releases!

That's great news, thanks so much!

Awesome, thanks for the new forums!

Looks like this is still going strong - unbelievable value:

These rat men miniature might work well to supplement the Veermyn given the common old school style:

Looks like they broke the arm off after it was painted!

That's a shame, they could've waited with a pic of that one until after it was fixed..

Kind of a ugly miniature (not in a good way) tbh, the rushed looking paint job isn't doing it any favors either.

Oh ... and lets not talk about "that" arm, c'mon mantic try harder.

Supports my theory of a secret death wish by the company owners
Come on, is there any other reasonable explanation for publishing this as a "promo shot"?
What's next? Showing a GW plastic Nightrunner with a greenstuffed bionic eye as WIP?

Thought I'd post these up for anyone whos intrested, new Veer-myn pics from Mantics site:








P.S The Veer-Myn will be released 28th May, you can pre-order stuff right now.

Actually, I'm waiting for them to release these minis with a fantasy accessory sprue instead of the zappy sci-fi guns and call them original fantasy models.

So is there any concept art for further Forge Fathers floating around the net for stuff beyond what is already released? Or has the Eye of Mantic Sauron moved onto space rats and humans for the forseeable future?

So far the only other artwork released online has been this one, the Forgefather Iron Ancestor (which I think is coming over the next couple of months? Please correct if I'm wrong)



Apparently there is also artwork of the Forgeguard which a few people have seen, but it hasn't been released yet.

You are right though, focus is on the Ver-meen and new Kings of War rule book at the moment it seems.

Ah, thanks. I saw a cool squat drawing over at the Wolf and Sister web comic and figured if any line had something compatible that it would be this one!

There's also sketches of the following floating around, that people have seen, but there are no pictures of:

- Power-armoured Corporation
- Corporation APC / Tank

In addition, it is confirmed that Forgefathers will be getting the Surtr Heat-Cannon Artillery piece (Jotunn with a different weapon), and a 10-man box of stormrage veterans with new weapons, more options and possibly a lower price tag since it won't be a 5-man box anymore.

Kings of War releases throughout June, July and August, then after that there will probably be some Warpath in the Autumn, with Corp one month, and Forgefathers another. They're the 2 best looking armies (and also, the only two I collect :p), so I'm glad they're focusing on filling them out. Warpath needs proper *armies* before anyone will play it, not just 3 infantry units and a hero.

Just thought I'd post this up:

http://www.beastsofwar.com/warpath/chemcharged-veermyn-night-crawlers

Beast of War did a unboxing of Mantics Veer-Myn Night Crawlers, they look much better
without the rushed paint jobs.

Also R.T ART (One of Mantics main scupltors) has posted a bunch of greens for both the
Veer-Myn and Corporation, just in case you have'nt seen them yet:

http://remytremblay.sculpture.over-blog.com/

Enjoy.

If I didn't already own 3 Nurgle armies I would totally start one now. Love the Space Skaven.

Does anyone have a Dakka-hosted pic of the Iron Ancestor that Mantic posted on BoLS? I'm work blocked...

^ Here you go!

From their Facebook update, my understanding is they have a preview of the model itself, not just the concept art...?

Ninja'd! Looks pretty sweet!

Yeah, had to do a quick edit after I realised that.

Really liking that sculpt, great model.

They also have an arse-shot of the Corporation Commandos for some reason. :p

I know this seems like another one of those posts trying to chain down Warpath to 40k, but I hope theres a option on that Iron Ancestor for 2 Twin Cannons

Showing off the Jump Pack would be my guess.

I know how you feel. My first thought was "oooo, nice counts-as Ironclad..." but then I quickly recouped with, "Why not keep it a nice Iron Ancestor? You can play that game too!". It's a nice model; I especially like the way they've managed to keep the Dwarves in Space aesthetic without forging into Campy-land. Can't wait to see how their Not-Space-Elves end up, in both fluffiness and visuals.

That is really cool!

I'll definitely be pocking up some of these types of models when they are available, and I hope Mantic has plans for more Space Dwarves like this, i.e., not bolt on additions to the fantasy range!

Anyone know when they'll be available?

Nice Eisenzwerg. I might have to buy one.

@ Alpharius - I've heard this August, not 100% sure though.

They'll be doing a release wave of the Iron Ancestor, a 10-man box of Stormrage veterans with new options, and the Surtr Artillery piece (the jotunn with a new anti-tank gun).

Or it could be because you can quite obviously see that he is going 'commando' ? That would be my guess

Is that thing dreadnought sized? If so, I could see picking up a couple of these for my Iron Warriors....
