Anyone know (or have a guess) as to what they grey blob of parts sticking out is? Or those guys in the clear resin in front of the Brokrs?

My Soraks will be plain old street fighting men.

I was actually hoping those quadrupeds would end up on the bigger bases. I hope they aren't all rearing up.

Few more @FistyGlueMan pictures:

Everything is looking pretty good. Those uhh.... mars attacks militia dudes (can't remember the name now), all look pretty cool. The angle of that one shot is making that strider look pretty beefy and tall.

Those Martians are really coming along nicely.

The Forge Father armor looks quite big and beefy- from the angle they look almost as big as the Survivor!

Those last pics are a prophecy, a vision of terrible things happening to my wallet when the Forge Fathers and Asterians hit the shelves... I can't wait.

I love the Mars attacks science division models with the goggles, they look very scary. The Strider does look massive now.

Some very cool stuff in there, thanks for posting. Peacekeepers with shields are awesome, and this fantasy stuff has my interest thoroughly piqued.

Thanks for the info guys, those do look like nice miniatures! And now, very glad that I put some money into the Mars Attacks KS, those do look very promising.

I am going to convert my own Fisty Glue Man, it looks like an expensive kit.

It comes in a nice cardboard box though, and is a limited edition!

Any chance someone can go all Inception up in Ronnie's ears in that regard?

Minion Miniatures is planning to make some.

Some of the new sculpts are looking really good.

I heard the words "armored" and "zombie" used together to describe a new unit for Dwarf King's hold. I'm in. I'm totally in. Like, right now. I don't even need the game, just let me buy those figures.

Some of these sculpts are looking amazing, that lizard in particular is incredibly detailed and the Sphyr team look ripe for a deadzone conversion.

Also I must have that female werewolf/gnoll in the last pic, no clue whats shes from however.

Any more word on the crazy box contents this time around? That first report made it sound good, but it would be great to hear about any variance to know if I wanna get a couple

Just noticed that looks like Eclipse in the background of the Goblin lizard rider picture.

I like to hear more about the crazy boxes as well. I keep on trying to talk myself into one, and if they reliably have clippers and paint I might do it, but I have no use for dreadball figures (too small to fit into my collection), and very limited use for warpath stuff....and limited use for any restic deadzone...and I'm not really into the elves...whelp, I may have just talked myself out of it.

Have found more pictures here http://gmortschaotica.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/mantic-games-open-day.html

I spy a Revell Republic Attack Shuttle! It's a great kit that should fit nicely on the landing pad but damn do I wish Revell would stick to a consistent scale.. there are so few SW ships that look right alongside some ~28mm minis. That thing needs to be twice the size :(

Also, the Deadzone terrain looks super great in yellow! I might have to paint mine up like that

That flying saucer is possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen, for any games system, ever! Would love to whack 5-6 of those down on the table as a 'counts as' Necron flyer in 40k

Love some of the civilian miniatures as well, and the gorilla + guy with shotgun. If Mantic are smart, they will have this stuff available separately and at a reasonable cost - sure it will sell well as it has a lot of cross-system appeal.

Agreed! I pledged for one of the giant robots (plus wrecked cars and urban scenery) to use in Pulp City and Supersystem and I'm hoping that I'll be able to pick up more robots and terrain at retail later on.

I think (hope?) the Mars Attack stuff ends up having a lot wider appeal than it seemed to during the campaign.

The gameplay is simpler, the models are going to be made for board gamers primarily, there's all sorts of crossover appeal far beyond only Mantic's games...

I've got high hopes for it.

Bring on DKH and the skirmish game I say!


Edit- looking through that latest blogpost, there's some interesting stuff on those monitor displays. Smoking lizardman thing holding a sword? Bug eyed goggle space man? Martian zombie with axe in head? Abyssals? Fat and skinny guys yelling (DBE fans?) Noticed the shrunken soldiers were in one of the display cabinet shots as well.

I want this:

Maybe Mantic will give me some reptiles after all!

They specifically confirmed a zombified basilian paladin, also not sure if they were joking but zombie dwarfs were mentioned.

As Highlord Tamburlaine says there are plenty of interesting pictures in that blog, 112 pictures in total.

I am very interested in this render

Not my cup of tea with its tongue handing out like that; a bit cartoonish.

It is... a little bit. I think they're kind of intergalactic pranksters though. Well, pranksters like teleport you to the top of a spike filled pit on some long abandoned world with no intent of coming back for you.. rather than making farting noises while you sit down pranksters. Still. I'm probably in for a team of those evil looking cusses.

Bleh, just paid for my DZ and MA surveys... now I'm starting to wonder if I wanna order a crazy box after all

Seems to be a updated concept art sketch for the salamanders in the forces of nature army list in KoW

Here's the original concept art.
http://manticblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Salamander.jpg

And I want it too

It has kind of a weird posture... or something... but it is pretty cool.

A few bits I picked up from the day...

Rolt, the werewolf woman is Eclipse.

Tamburlaine, Ronnie said in the seminar that Mars Attacks is currently looking to be their highest selling game, and that's before retail.

Seandreake, the zombified paladin was on show being sculpted.

And the crazy boxes were labeled to contain 2 big bags, 2 small bags, 2 sprues, 1 paint, 1 clippers and 1 Loka.
I got Marauder Raptor and 3 Elohi (big bags), Elf bowmen and Marauder grunt command (sprues), 2 plague and 3 Midgard Delvers (small bags), a tree lady Loka, plus red paint and clippers. Hope that helps.

When you see a sculpt (Eclipse in this case), go "oooo! that's neat! I want that" and then find out you've essentially already ordered it...is it time to admit that maybe you have a problem?

Which one is Eclipse?

So hmm, that's definitely a decent amount of stuff from what Galgaroth says. Not sure I need another command sprue of orx though... More to consider so thanks for posting about it

Is that lizardman meant to be a salamander by any chance, considering the smoke coming out of his mouth.

@Galgaroth
Thanks, didn't expect her to be in such an action orientated pose considering shes a manager, either way
she'll have a place in my deadzone conversions.
