Editing Mantic Games (section)

= Why do we like them? =

Mantic's list of modeling wish-fulfillment has been growing and growing, with them as a company having delivered us some of wargaming most desired miniature concepts (even if not everybody will agree on whether or not the execution of said modeling lines was cool). Overall Mantic has delivered:

* Space Dwarfs, in the form of [[Forge Fathers]], and they are AMAZING, with their bearded tanks and tendency to have big fucking guns and tommyguns everywhere.

* Space Skaven, otherwise known as [[Veer-Myn]]. Vermin. Get it? Anyway, think of bipedal rats in space and that's what you'll get. The fact Skaven already dabble in high-tech means they could be easily proxies as Skaven models. The Veer-myn Nightmares as Rat Ogre proxies are a special case because it's legit one of the few examples of a Mantic product being vastly superior to an old-ass official GW kit.  

* [[Abyssal Dwarfs]], similar in concept to [[Chaos Dwarfs]], and these ones actually look quite menacing while being affordable too (plus they have golems).

* They released the Triden Realms of Neiritica, composed of tritons, crab people, squid people, tritons mounted on sea drakes and amphibians. That's right, FISH PEOPLE, lets see you beat that, GW! [[Idoneth Deepkin|Oh...]]

* Okay but the Nightstalkers fulfill a legitimate open niche in Wargaming: an entire army of Lovecraftian monstrosities. And some of these sculpts are the best things Mantic has ever produced. Teeth 'n' tentacles seem to have pushed their sculpting capability further than before. 

* Meaningful worldwide campaigns with actual progression that obeys the fans desires; in 2017 they made the edge of the abyss campaign, which can be [https://edgeoftheabyss.warconsole.com/ followed here], where the world was significantly changed. In 2018 they modified the basic format to run the first Deadzone global campaign, the [https://deadzonecampaign.com Battle for Starfall]. The end result: Plague won.

* Affordable Miniatures! Do you long for the days when you could get a box of 20 plastic miniatures for under £20? Mantic has got you covered. Depending on the faction you choose, you can get everything you need for a full sized Kings of War army for under £200.

So overall, Mantic tends to see those gaps in the market and scratch those itches that a wargammer needs. Do they always do a good job? Well nope, not always, but most of the time, and their effort is always commendable.
