Dogs of War: Scratchbuilt Maneaters 1

Hey all, time for another Dogs of War update! I finally decided to get around to scratchbuilding a unit of Maneaters. The unit will all be armed with the 2 handgun/pistol option, as these guys are just pure badass when it comes to dishing out the pain. I definitely did not want to get more of the metal Maneaters - they are far too expensive and there is really only 1 model that would be suitable for this weapon option. What better way than to put the ever useful Ogre Bulls box to good use? This was also a chance to practice working with greenstuff which I have little to no ability with. All 3 ogres in this unit will be decked out with the tools of their trade and enough souvenirs from the various places they have fought. This guy decided to pick up some shields and use them as armor, taking both a marauder and empire shield off of the fools who decided to get in his way. I did say he was using two pistols/handguns right? He is holding handweapons but strapped to his back are a couple of pistols, ready to put a few S4AP caps in unsuspecting fools. Being a rather worldly ogre, he had to pick up a hat off of some silly Paymaster who had the nerve to withold payment. I will be working on the other 2 Maneaters for the unit before getting around to painting them up. Comments welcome!

40K: Knight Paladin WIP

Hey all, time for a 40K-related update. Here are some WIP pics of the Knight Paladin I recently picked up. This thing is one big baddy of ass-kicking, towering over most other non-titan class enemies. There is still a lot of work left to do on it - though it is at least ready for the battlefield. Comments welcome!

Notice the scout marine for size comparison. To really put things in perspective, the Warhound Titan's laser weapon arm is as long as this guy is tall. Scary...

Dogs of War: Leo's Leopard Company

Hi all, it's been quite a while since the Dogs of War have had an update. Time to change that! Here is the completed unit of Leo's Leopard Company. Finally cleaned them up and made a few color changes as well as getting them based. I still need to go back and do their facial details but for now they're ready to get back into action. Comments welcome!

News: Mantic Newsletter

Hey all, another Mantic Newsletter. Looks like the x-mas deal is coming to an end soon:

Elves Christmas Army is coming to an end

We're keeping the Christmas spirit alive at Mantic and have extended the Elves Christmas Deal for another week.

This offer will be ending Monday 11th January and offers everything in the Elf range, including two warhosts and the advance-order Stormwind Cavalry. This set not only allows you to collect an entire Elven army in one fell swoop, but the massive Christmas saving remains, making it the best deal we've done to date. If ever you wanted an excuse to start a new army for the new year, now is the time to do so.

If you want to get your hands on the complete Elven Range with a Mantic Bag, you only have until Monday to do so. For more details on the contents of this extraordinary offer, click here.

Collector’s Range

The Collector's Range is proving to be more popular than we could have ever imagined and numbers are still dwindling rapidly.

Made up of high quality 90mm resin Elf and Skeleton figures, these figures are limited to 75 casts and consist of either a Elven Spearmen or Bowman, or an Undead Skeleton.

Each Limited Edition model also comes with its own unique numbered certificate of authenticity, signed by the sculptor, and is despatched in its own Mantic storage/carry case. 

This is your chance to own a little piece of Mantic history. Perfect for displays, scenery, or even army themed giants, the Collector’s Range figures are available from the website now. Click here for more info.





We will be making other models in this range available in the future, so if you want to collect the set please use the 'contact us' when you order and we will add you to the 'reserved list' for future releases.

Mantic needs you!

Skilled with a paintbrush? Then Mantic wants you!

We are looking for some great painters to show off truly how great our figures look. We need top quality paint jobs to photograph and use on our website, blog and for any event shows we attend. This would work alongside the painters we already have, and gives painters looking to expand their portfolio, break into the industry or simply paint some fantastic figures or units for cash or Mantic credit! 

If you are interested in painting for Mantic then please submit your contact details and a few photos of your previous work to info@manticgames.com.

We will be attending lots of gaming shows in Europe and the USA, race 3 is on the horizon and we’ve also a few surprises lined up along the way…but for now we’d just like to wish you all a very happy New Years and a wonderful 2010!
