Hello

Is there any demand for Mantic bitz in the miniature market like GW?

I dont know if it exists, but Hoard actually sell those... Looking how they are compatible with GW stuff, and cheaper, i think we have a demand.

I bought some mantic bits from hoard o' bitz(s?) on ebay. They had a smattering of the warpath range, and more of the kings of war stuff. I'm not sure if the corporation arms would go on a guardsman, but other truescale 28mm stuff probably.

I think that there are some useful bits throughout the mantic ranges that people can make use of. It just isn't necessarily directly compatible with 40k part for part. Corporation marines, for instance, make great stand-ins for guardsmen... but I don't think they can swap parts without looking silly. That probably hurts the demand somewhat.

Fantasy though, may be some more opportunities there, although its just cheaper to buy your entire army from mantic unless you want something they don't carry

Mantic bitz is on the rise ..not to the extent that GW bitz are able to sell but ehh ..Dreamforge bitz are on the up and comming to ..(very nice models high detail)

I am adding a Mantic bits section to the War & Peace Games Club's Website/Webstore in the coming weeks for those who are interested. I will only have a small range to begin with but will be building on it over time.

Cheers

Will have to check that out, thanks for the heads up.
