Another nice model. Mantic is on a roll.

And the final one has shown up. This one is on a 25mm base but the price is the same.

Spoiler:

Dam, that is the best looking fish-man miniature I've ever seen. Nice work on Mantic's part.

Do we have a rough size or base size for the Tree Herder? Trying to judge him relative to GW Treelords.

Images of the Tree Herder are up, including a size comparison.

That's either a better paint job, a better photo, or both

I like it - I need 3 Ents for LOTR, may look at these

Reminds me of the 90s GW treemen.

Must. Not. Buy. Tree. Army.

Looks petty good!

Another good thing is that it's clearly on a 50x50 base, and not on one of those 75x75 bases they're slowly sneaking into the game in pursuit of the "I can't play without a centrepiece" market

Based on my estimation based on base sizes, looks like he's a pretty close match to the height of current GW Treelords. Close enough for me to want to use some of both to improve variety in one of my in-progress armies, anyway.

KoW Vanguard test game picture posted on Facebook. Not much to tell other than it appears to be a 3x3 table set up

Looks like the new Undead Wyrm was shown off on Monday

I think this might have a different rider than that unpainted one?

That's... actually quite nice.

Probably the nicest thing Mantic has put out.

I feel Mantic is going through their renaissance period. GW went through it - the transition from ho-hum models to really good sculpts (unfortunately they kept going into the realm of "look what we can do from a production standpoint!" era). I was super happy with the Zombies, and even their new Deadzone models turned out quite nice without losing the "mantic charm".

I'm weird, I like Mantic models. The only ones I didn't like were Basilea, and that's due to their production issues with China - so much fail on the scaling and detail translation :(

Still don't like the Wyrn, but the Treeman is ok.

The wyrm looks like a half finished model to me. Don't know if it's the lack of legs or the pose.

Treeman is aces, and larger than expected.

I...I actually kinda dig this, and I usually hate dwarves

Ha!

That's actually pretty cool, in a weird over-the-top way!

Rita has returned. I need five octogenarians with attitude!


But seriously, please tell me there are no metal parts on that.

WOW! I needs these as Ents on my LOTR army! Can you show a scale pic of these with LOTR minis?

The character model on the right should be the same size as a LOTR hero. The smaller tree creature is on a 40mm base and the Ent should be on a 50mm base if that helps.

I assume the Ram is a Steel Behemoth? Looks pretty nice.

Pretty sure I remember it being one of the napkin sketch concepts a long time ago, certainly a different direction from the wheeled and tusked 3D model they showed off at an open day in May.

Confirmed on Facebook as a resin miniature

Good to see mantic starting to up their game. Excter is a really great miniature, and most of the recent releases are at least decent / pretty good.

Yay! Thanks.

Not bad on the Steel Behemoth. And its mecha-animal nature validates those of us who have been using Wyrmgear (not my pic)

Seems time to update the thread title a bit BTW.
Should someone contact a mod, or how's this normally handled?
