Everything being on bloody Discord is such a pet peeve of mine in 2025. How about put the information on kickstarter where your backers can see it

I don't quite understand the worry about the lack of advertising yet. Why would Mantic advertise it really strongly now, only for would-be purchasers to realise they can't get it yet, and will still be waiting till all the KS backers have it. I would imagine the hype will start during KS delivery, so there's pics, images and reviews out on the net, and then Mantic start with the retail releases.

I hope so, because every month radio-silent is another one where Armoured Clash eats their lunch. AC feels like a slow grower, but the game is sooooo good that it could really break out at almost any time. Leaving too much time to really get entrenched could really hurt Epic Warpath (which would suck, as it is also a TERRIFIC game).

Which Discord server and why Discord? Discord is where information goes to die.

why? because I am not on facebook and discord is therefore the only place I know where I can ask to get an answer

Oh I'm not questioning your use of Discord.

I'm questioning why that's on Discord and not say... Kickstarter.

Facebook is terrible, Discord is also terrible.

because I asked there about it

What Discord server? How is a person supposed to find this info?
Searching Discord for 'Warpath', 'Mantic Games', 'Mantic', 'Deadzone', 'Firefight' and 'Warpath' brings up nothing related to Mantic on Discord.
I guess I'm not with the yoof of today and prefer a decent searchable forum still.

I follow them on FB but you can also sign up to their mailing lists on their site, or the KS, which usually sends out anything of import.

I don't know why the search doesn't bring them up, but they are linked on the mantic subreddits as well (don't know about Facebook)

Mantic Fans https://discord.gg/wcG3XG33
Epic Watpath (used for playtesters but now open) https://discord.gg/y7Xxjmbr

Discord is impossible to search into.

I’ll ask on Kickstarter.

These are from the Epic Warpath FB group, I assume the person painting the studio minis.
These are a mix of printed and plastic.

+EDIT+ my tech abilities have failed and my phone won't let me link from the pics in my gallery, if anyone is able to grab the top three from here and post below I would be grateful

They do look nice. Any idea which are printed vs. plastic?

I just don't understand why these pictures are not being published on Kickstarter.

It sounded to me like the announcement on discord was that they were working on the actual announcement for KS and the bits on discord were, more or less, an early preview of what would be in the KS update. Still taking to long to get an update out, though.

Good looking miniatures. Looking forward to seeing the finished rules.

These aren’t just random phone camera shots but I look forward to a great big announcement on Monday.

if I get the original post right those aren't studio models but the private ones from a studio member who was allowed to share the work in progress (hence not all bases are done)

and the printed ones are both super heavies, the flyer, walkers and the 2 larger tanks

I somewhat feel they didn't scale up the printed vehicles to match the plastics. That won't be a problem for me since I got the STLs.

Thank you mallo !

Other thing mentioned was that these were done in a very simple colour scheme - just speed paints and a basic highlight.

Looking forward to whatever update is made on Monday

That push-a-button meme, but it says:

"update the Epic Warpath KS"

and

"Send another HALO email"

Copy pasted straight to KS comments

solid team work

Those last pics are great, the different colour scheme and angles really sells it.

I hope the STLs are released soon, don't have a resin printer, but know a vendor who charges by the plate and a *lot* will fit on one plate.

Still no update?

From the discords, today:

As soon as our KS manager is back from his holiday. That is likely to be tomorrow onwards

I’m all for people taking a break and enjoying their lives but I’m fed up with Discord second hand news.

The fact they don't think it's worth taking five minutes to log in to the kickstarter and leave a comment saying that, in lieu of an actual update, is really very damning.

They haven't even unpinned the comment announcing the update that came a month ago.

I’m going to be wary about backing the next thing from Mantic as a result of the poor handling of this game.

It’s July now. We’re probably not going to have anything on hand for another two months and we’re getting close to Mantic shipping their advent calendars soon.

I’m interested in Halo but not really beyond the starter sets as a collector. I’d hoped to play this one but locally I don’t know anyone who backed it.

It’s hard enough to find anyone who wants to play Kings of War a very established game with a decent sized player base. Getting anyone to play anything else from Mantic is already so hard in my area that any delay or hiccup can really kill a game.

Bah. We already know there is a delay and probably everything will be send before summer end.

That's not a poor managed kickstarter - poor kickstarters are never fulfilled or have years of delay.

Problems about finding an opponent is a completely different thing and has nothing to do with KS.

I don't know but I am PLENTY of games to play and miniatures to paint while waiting for Epic Warpath.
