I had never heard of Mantic until halo flashpoint and I’m super excited to know more about release and get my hands on my spartan edition… That being said, dead zone is looking really nice to me right now and I’m considering picking up a starter box soon!
You won't be sorry if you grab the award winning Deadzone, in any form. It is my go to minis game, for newbies and old-grognards alike. Also highly recommend checking out community youtube content for Deadzone. Super great people, and super fun content and community overall.
I bought my open day ticket as soon as I saw the announcement on Facebook. This will be my 11th Mantic open day, unfortunately number 10 was a no show for me due to flooding and my trains being cancelled. Look forward to catching up with Ronnie, Andy, Matt and rest of the Mantic staff at the open day again. Looking forward to my Halo Pre-order arriving and also Epic Warpath next year. Long live Mantic! Steve Evans :)
The joint venture with Archon Studios for the hard plastic minis is the best thing ever, as they are at least for me the gold standard aside from GW. I really hope that we will see an update on the older kits like Salamanders and Marauders. Anyway, it's time to collect Asterians and Abyssals ...
Agreed, I just put together some of the Frostclaws, first Mantic models from Archon that I'd seen, and it's a phenomenal step up for Mantic's plastic kits.
yep between Archon Studios and Wargames Atlantic there is some really good plastic kits out there these days. GW isn't the only one any more (and my wallet likes that a lot ;) )
I had not yet the time to check the products from Wargames Atlantic, but it's just a matter of time. Also you are right, my wallet is happy to have all the choices now.
Well it will be interesting to see how the command dice system will play, as well as what each faction will get for orders. Now if you'll excuse me I got to check if I have enough red paints.
I'm baffled as to why there aren't new plastic dwarfs :( ...then again I'm about to paint my original Mantic dwarf army lol Pre-ordering the new abyssals !
The abyssals are the first to get their second ambush set (the previous one had the 'old' sculpts), so I wouldn't be surprised if dwarves are up next year .... (heck ... mantic has been real busy this year)
Will there be a neoprene playmat for Halo Flashpoint? If so will it have any larger play area? I find in my games so far with Halo that range is barely ever coming into effect. But maybe that's because 2 out of 4 of the Spartans in Recon Edition are long range units?
Any plans for more Marauder/GCPS Wolverines, or something to replace them? If I'd known you were going to run out I'd have bought some, but at the moment my Marauder army is tankless!
Super excited! On the topic of competitive scenes (competitions/tournaments) will we get any rules or guidelines for such? For official use should we want to start our own? Love the updates got my Spartan Edition ordered and cant wait!!
Does Mantic have a roadmap of conventions and events that you'll be at that you can share? And if you're there, do you usually run events? I'm new to the Mantic community and think it could be fun to attend an event, but there doesn't appear to be anything near me. I'm in PA, USA and play DZ & soon FF. Will you be at PAX Unplugged in December?
Everything looks great, it seems that Mantic is working towards the future, better miniatures and with better quality, games from great sagas, Halo. But, what about the translation of the material into Spanish? Clash of Kings 2025? Will it have a translation? It would be more friendly for the Spanish-speaking community. Greetings
If Flashpoint does well will be get a bigger skirmish halo game? Dare i even say....an epic scale one? Because that would sell like hotcakes and be super amazing, definitely give you gives a big boost in sales and fans.
Do you guys have any news about shipping times for The Walking Dead: All Out War? I know the resin models got sent out recently and people have received them. I also know that you guys were shipping resin first, and then ABS models after, so orders with Resin and ABS models would be "last" in priority so to speak. I'm just wondering because I have ordered the collectors edition, commonwealth collection, and safety behind bars collection and I want to get everything ready for when they arrive! Cheers guys and thank you for bringing this awesome game back!
What happened to The Walking Dead I pre ordrered it the beggining of the year and it's a ghost town no updates no release date nothing you have my money and yeah have a nice day
There have been updates by newsletter and on social media. The Walking Dead products are shipping now with some of the first ones shipped with customers now.
I pre-ordered the Commonwealth set and received it a week or so ago. Items are coming. see others posting on their social media that they have them.. Depending on where you live(I am in the US) may play a roll in delivery time.
Same here in Germany. I asked customer service but did not get a response. Preoders from beginning of the year. Updates you have to search for are bad communicated updates. So they are shipping now? Where was this written?
Paid for a pre-order of the Spartan edition of Halo months ago from an online store... ... still waiting... ... not sure I even care anymore if this game ever arrives...
@mattyno964 Yes, but it's been super confusing as to when this game is supposed to release. Did they sell copies at Gencon? They sold out on their own website and said buy from a retailer. I heard August was the release date. It's now almost October... I could be wrong too, but that's the problem. Why do I have no idea when this is releasing? Honestly, Mantic has been horrible for years now. Things like adding proprietary dice to Kings of War are just scumbag sales schemes. I'm not sure why I bother trying to give them my money.
@@paladinpariah325 I think you misunderstood. What they were saying is that the retail allocations for the first wave of stock are almost sold out, and they've already got the wheels in motion on the second print run so there's not a large period of time where the game is out, but you can't buy it if you missed the pre-orders. No one has the game yet, it hasn't released, though it should do reletively soon.
From what I can see, they sold a load of Recon early at events as promotional sales because there were a lot more of them that had not been preordered as most people wanted the Spartan set, makes sense to sell as much stock while there’s more hype as it might not sell after launch. Think if they had known how the response would have been they would have made more Spartan sets and less Recon. The big question is, has there been a delay with manufacturing that’s pushing the release date back as I would have assumed that since Recon has been available for a while the Spartan sets should be pretty much done too. Getting Spartan Games worries.

Mantic is such a lovely grass roots grounded company that listens to and loves the
community ❤
Super pumped to finally get my hands on The Walking Dead. Hopefully collector’s edition ships soon!!

Not too much longer to wait now - we'll be bringing you more info very soon.

Do it!
Same, waiting on the Spartan Edition, having fun learning about everything else Mantic does in the meantime.
Deadzone is life, embrace it!

Kings is life!
I'm quite interested in the Command Dice for Kings of War, look forward to trying them out.
Always great to hear good news from Andy
Thank you!
Ooo this is a fantastic Mantic year. Good to see you about again, Andy. Can't wait to get my hands on the new space advent game.
Thank you!
Looking forward to the new KOW plastic, that big guy looks awesome, can't wait to paint him up.
Ordered collectors edition 24 of the walking dead.
Cant wait for it. Hope the minis and game stick around long enough to get the whole collection ❤

61 players from around the world outside the UK from 201 tickets sold!
Thanks for the updates!
So excited for halo flashpoint!
Well it will be interesting to see how the command dice system will play, as well as what each faction will get for orders.
Now if you'll excuse me I got to check if I have enough red paints.
Good stuff! I'm tempted to buy into Kings of War, but I have my hands full with all the Sci-Fi warpath universe games, plus The Walking Dead.
Just received my Worms kickstarter, cant wait to get it to the table
I'm baffled as to why there aren't new plastic dwarfs :( ...then again I'm about to paint my original Mantic dwarf army lol
Pre-ordering the new abyssals !

just got my common wealth the other day.
Glad to see they're getting out to folks now - enjoy!

I hope we get a release date for Halo Flashpoint soon 😫
I know dude. I pre-ordered my spartan edition as soon as it became available and I'm going bananas over here.

My kids are abscessed with KOW Abyssal and worms since we visited you guys a few weeks back! Your ruining me finically lol
Any plans to bring the Nameless to firefight?
We have lots of plans... but none I can confirm or deny!
Really excited for the new advent calendar as the last one was a blast.
Are the figures in the Deep Space one going to be resin or plastic?
They'll be plastic.
Does Mantic have a roadmap of conventions and events that you'll be at that you can share? And if you're there, do you usually run events? I'm new to the Mantic community and think it could be fun to attend an event, but there doesn't appear to be anything near me. I'm in PA, USA and play DZ & soon FF.
Will you be at PAX Unplugged in December?
Will there be a road map for the different systems? Always nice to hear what's on the horizon.
We plan to, yes.
It's usually the 12 days of christmas blogs :)
Everything looks great, it seems that Mantic is working towards the future, better miniatures and with better quality, games from great sagas, Halo.

So when should I expect my Spartan edition to arrive? A few weeks?

Will you make a Flashpoint pve mode?
I want Dreadball news!
nothing for Dragon Saga
Is it just me, or does that *mumble mumble* sound a lot like "Brutes?"
I think he mumbles Banished. But they have stated in the past that Banished enemies are coming.

You're right, I absolutely misunderstood the rollout of this game...
... probably because Mantic has been so bad at communicating it.
