Dwarf Crew SprueI think my favourite piece on the sprue must be the mis-fire boots but I think the pipe dwarf might be a close second!

First ever Kings of War game!


We at Mantic Games were so excited last night!

Alessio Cavatore dropped in to show us the first draft version of our up and coming rules set. We just had to play!

Ronnie and Mat played the first ever Kings of War game, and both enjoyed it immensely. The rules are very much still in the Alpha testing stage, but the rules flowed well leading to an exciting, tense game, with Mat emerging victorious, and Ronnie bitter in defeat.

Here are a few pictures taken during the game:Ronnie and AlessioElves march to WarThe Undead ready to over-run the Elves!

The beta rules will be availble for free download soon!

So keep watching the blog and newsletter for all of the updates.

Mantic at Gencon!


Ronnie has just returned from the United States, and all he can talk about is what a great time he had while he was over there.

He was out there to show off the mantic products at one of the biggest gaming conventions on the circuit, Gencon.  Ronnie was well recieved and so was mantic, with our stock flying off the shelves, we had sold out by the end of the event.

Painting Glory


We’re still dusting ourselves down at Mantic from the torrent of news that has come out over the last week – it’s very difficult to keep track of what is going on (especially with Ronnie at GenCon already talking about what happens after the game is released!).

Anyway, two things happened last month that may have escaped a few people’s attention. Firstly we’ve recruited a number of people into our Painter’s Circle in anticipation of the second issue of the Mantic Journal, due in September.

Secondly the Dwarf Berserkers and Dwarf King’s War Counsel both went up for pre-order and are released in September (though these sets are also included in Grafe’s Steel Legion launched on the 18th August so you will get these figures super early!).

What better way we thought to illustrate these two points than to show-off the WIP Berserker Lord painted by top-drawer Painter’s Circle member Andrew Wedmore!

Click the thumbnail below for a more detailed look:

Let us know your thoughts!
