Mantic Games is a relatively young games and miniatures publisher, but they are growing rapidly. They produce games and miniatures in the 28mm scale, like Games Workshop, but for much, much less. They started out in fantasy, with Kings of War, but are also branching into sci-fi with Warpath.
Mantic Games have got ex-GW people and boy does it show. Kings of War and Warpath heavily, HEAVILY rip right from Warhammer's playbook almost looking to completely undercut the more expensive Citadel Miniatures. In fact, this is part of Mantic's Strategy, which allows people to play Warhammer with cheap non-GW models, which lets Mantic sell more stuff.
Suffice to say, the rules for Kings of War and Warpath are incredibly basic and free from their website, and are nothing to write home about. It can be theorized that Mantic will expand their game once they reach some level of popularity, and like GW in the past reneg on the liberal use of their products.
