News: Mantic Sale!

View Comments
Hello all, Slick here. Mantic's latest newsletter is out and they are having some more excellent deals!


Mantic Games Newsletter
Mantic is Moving!

We need to clear some space in the warehouse, so there is 15% off Mantic Products* until the end of February! This is a one off event, and ends soon.

Spend over £50/€75/$99 in the Mantic Store and we’ll apply the discount automatically, so you don’t have to do a thing!

*Please note that after the raft of extra minis we’ve stuffed into them, this offer excludes the Super-sized Army Deals. The Abyssal Dwarfs and Dwarf King’s Hold are also exempt.

Around this time last year, Mantic moved offices. Desk space had become a premium and chairs had become a luxury, so off we moved to a new location that allowed ourselves some more leg room and everyone a nice comfy seat. Well, now it’s time to expand again and this time we are moving warehouses!

In the next month or two we’ll be moving to a bigger location. This means that we will deliver quicker order turnaround, faster response rates, hold more items in stock and offer an improved ability to service the most important aspect of all; our hobbyists. With Dwarf King’s Hold and the Orc range coming as well as one or two surprises coming later, we’re gearing up for one heck of a year.

Anyway, we’ve decided we need a little bit of help in clearing out our old warehouse and we figure the best way to do this is to offer you all 15% off until the end of February!

This offer covers almost our whole range of products, everything from our Mantic Journal all the way up to our biggest army deals like the Liche King’s Eternal Horde!

So what are you waiting for? Order Now!

Dwarf Kings Hold!

All of us here in Mantic Towers are very pleased with how the Dwarf King’s Hold game is shaping up, when we look over the quality of the figures (there’s nothing like having them in your hands!), the production values that have gone into the artwork and packaging, the rules and the way the game plays, it’s easy to think that this might just be the best darn thing to come out of Mantic yet.

We think the cover looks exceptional:

Jonas Springborg has blown us away again with this piece of art, we can't wait to see what he has for us next!

Jake Thornton has written us a fun, action packed game that will keep you entertained for hours on end.

Here is an example of what a game of Dwarf King’s Hold will look like:

There are 6 official scenarios with the rules, but the fantastic tiles from Tears of Envy have been designed to allow you to think up your very own scenarios - the possibilities are endless! And having heard the plans Mantic and Jake have for follow-ups and expansions this will be a very interesting game series.

We are very proud of Dwarf King's Hold. If you have been following Beasts of War you will see that they have started to look at the game, and keep an eye out as very soon Jake will be heading over to join them for a number of interviews, where they present an exclusive first review of the game with the rules writer himself, definitely worth a watch!

Dwarf King’s Hold: Dead Rising will begin shipping on the 28th March and you can pre-order your copy here.

News: Forgeworld Newsletter #264

View Comments
Hello everyone, Slick here. The latest FW newsletter brings the release of the Malcador Infernus as well as another conversion set for Imperial Guardsmen in the form of the Cadian Hostile Environment set. If you have ever wanted to make snowtroopers, what better time than now!

"Hi There,
We have a newsletter packed with Imperial Guard releases for you this week: a brand new super heavy tank, three new detailed infantry upgrade sets and two new transfer sheets. We also have more information about our first three events of 2011, and we’re also making a few changes to the process of placing Reservation orders for the Open Day, so read on for more.

Thanks,
Ead Brown

Malcador Infernus Heavy Tank
Malcador InfernusThe venerable Malcador chassis, a precursor to the Leman Russ battle tank in the Imperial arsenal, is capable of mounting a wide range of devastating weaponry. The Malcador Infernus is one such variant, and is armed with a centre-line Inferno Cannon capable of engulfing the enemy in a storm of burning promethium. The Infernus is a powerful weapon deployed both against enemy fortifications and massed infantry.

This resin and plastic kit, designed by Phil Stutcinskas and Daren Parrwood, will be fully detailed in Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara, published later this year, but we have managed to secure these experimental rules that you can download now.

The Malcador Infernus is available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing the 28th of February

Cadian Hostile Environment Conversion Sets
Cadian Extreme EnvironmentMany worlds in the vast Imperium of Man boast conditions inimical to human survival, yet are critically important due to the mineral wealth they contain or their strategic worth. Imperial forces fighting in these deadly warzones rely on hostile environment equipment to enhance their body armour and survive.

The Cadian Hostile Environment Conversion Set contains 10 resin torsos, sculpted by Stuart Williamson and Mark Bedford, for use with the plastic Cadian range of kits available from Games Workshop.

Mark and Stuart have also sculpted the Cadian Hostile Environment Plasma Squad which contains enough resin torsos to build three Special Weapon teams, and again is suitable for use with the plastic Cadian range.

The Cadian Hostile Environment conversion set and Plasma squad are available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing the 28th of February.

Imperial Guard Transfer Sheets
Imperial Guard Vehicle Transfer SheetTwo new A4 decal sheets are also available to pre-order in this Newsletter – the Imperial Guard White Vehicle Transfer Sheet and

Imperial Guard Black Vehicle Transfer Sheet. Each contain well over a thousand individual decals including regimental insignia and blazons, kill markings, vehicle names in different styles, and also feature both the Aquila and Machina Opus symbols – a plethora of different decals to truly individualise your Imperial vehicles.

Both the Imperial Guard Black Vehicle Transfer Sheet and the Imperial Guard White Vehicle Transfer Sheet are available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing the 28th of February."

GW News: Incoming! Tomb Kings

Hello all, Slick here. GW has dropped word on the next Fantasy army, and it's finally the Tomb Kings! Check below for more information:

"Lightning shall sunder the skies, the rivers will flow with blood and war will come to the land. The legions of the long-dead kings shall once more rise eternal in conquest, and death shall ride beside them."

- Settra, The Eternal King of Nehekhara.

In May, the Tomb Kings army will be receiving new models as well as an army book. Take a look at the Astronomican today to read the Studio's Incoming article, which gives you a little more information about the legions of the Undead. For now we'll leave you with these previously unseen images - join in on the speculation of what this might be on our Facebook page.

Blood Angels: Saguinor WIP

View Comments
Hello all, Slick here with an update for my Blood Angels. I've been working on the Saguinor as I finish painting up the various HQ choices I have. After finishing Dante, I knew I wanted to try the Saguinor. It's just such a great mini. Right now he's about 65-70% finished. I need to tidy up a bunch of spots and get to work highlighting all the various blood drops etc. The sword also needs some more detail as does the halo. Lastly, the armor needs some fine edge highlighting. Comments and suggestions welcome!
