Vengeance will be ours!


The Revenants are yet to hit and the Skeletons are barely out the door, but we’ve already got more Undead greens to show you!

This female necromancer is heading for the “Death Kings Cabal,” and has been sculpted by Bob Naismith. Part of a four figure metal boxset, this evil lady is just one of the new metal releases we’ve got coming for the Undead, as shall be revealed in the coming weeks.

Until then, click on the picture below to get a better look:

We’ve been expecting you…


Always a good way to start off the week, we’ve received work-in-progress shots of a new Elf model. This Elven General diorama has been sculpted by Matthew Bickley, and will be an absolute must-have piece for your miniatures collection. Let us know what you think, and make sure you watch this space for more details!

Send in the Cavalry!


It’s been a little while now since we posted the work-in-progress sculpt of the Elven horse from the Stormwind Cavalry boxset and now we have painted pics of the finished metal models!

These two images were sent to us by Conflict in Colour who have done a fantastic job painting the models. If you fancy a bigger, better and all-round more detailed look at them, please click on the thumbnails below.

These three figures appear both in the Stormwind Cavalry Troop box and in the Command box alongside the yet unseen Banner Bearer and Champion. We’ll have pics of these new models in due course but for now we’ll leave you with these three beauties. Some say there might even be painted skeletons on the way…

Enjoy!

Royal Guardians


We’ve a new WIP for you – and we know how much you like those!

Today we have a picture of the Palace Guard, with one of it’s weapon variants. These figures have been getting a lot of attention since they were first mentioned, so we’re going to keep this short and sweet and show off this tantalisingly early WIP shot from Kev White.

There are more details to come, but you can click the thumbnail below for a more detailed view.

Pet Wars!


You may have spotted a couple of felines dotted around the Elf range, and perhaps heard rumour of a skeleton dog on the Undead sprue?
We feel the familiars add a bit of fun, and a whole lot of character, to a unit or force, and they will be a feature of all our ranges (just wait until you see the animal on race 3 – oh my!)
As you can imaging this has already initiated ‘Pet Wars’ among the painters who get their hands on the three-ups…and hence this little diorama painted by Conflict in Colour.
We presented the diorama to our toolmakers, where one person (who shall remain nameless) had gone crazy over all the familiars on the sprues.
The Elven cat should be recognisable, but the three-up skeletal dog is a little fun piece from the upcoming skeleton troop sprue that we thought you’d all like a look at.

Pets at War

If you’ve been inspired by the piece from Conflict in Colour, then we’re also currently on the lookout for new painters to work alongside our existing ones.

We’re looking for some top quality paint jobs to photograph and use on our website, blog and for any event we attend, so anyone who wants to paint some of our fantastic figures or units for cash or (preferably) Mantic credit should get in contact with us by sending a few pictures of your previous work to info@manticgames.com.

Finally… have an absolutely splendid 2010!

best wishes

On a final note, we’ve also attached an image of the sprue for your viewing pleasure. Click the thumbnail image below to see the whole sprue If you’ve any comments or questions you’d like answered, we’ll do our best to answer them in the next video.
