Hey Rob,

Kyle from Mantic here. We really appreciate the kind words here and a recognition of the effort we're trying to make. You're spot on that we're just a bunch of gamers who really care about the product and games we make. We want to constantly improve and make an effort to produce the kind of games and minis that people want to buy and enjoy for years. We listen to all of it and always work to do what's best for the customers. I'd love to help you get some more support from us so please feel free to reach out to me anytime!

Hi Rob,

Pat from Mantic. Just want to thank you for your kind words and acknowledgement of our efforts from where we were to where we are today. If you happen to be at AdeptiCon this year please come by the booth, say hi and have a chat! Love to see you.

What I have bought from Mantic has always impressed me. Their Giants in Kings of War are nice and modular and more affordable than the Mega Gargants from GW. Plus, their sets of infantry are usually 20 models vs the GW 10 count. And, yeah, they cost less. Mantic gets a big Thumbs up from me.

That's what I love about your channel Rob. You bring games to the table that wouldn't normally be on my radar. You hit the nail on the head, when gaming companies get so big that they are ran by people who don't play them it becomes all about the money instead of the love of the game. Magic the Gathering is another great example of the greed in the industry. I always try to support those that support the game's.

There's nothing wrong in calling out a company for poor quality control, but good for you for doing another video when you are happier with that company. I'm also being steadily sucked into Mantic's orbit, due to the quality of their products and services, and their good attitude generally. I have all their Dungeon Saga, all their Walking Dead (sadly no longer available), most of their Armada (like you, after being fed up of waiting for a new Man O'War), although I play that in the Warhammer Old World, which I will always love more than anything else. Now, after vowing not to get any sci-fi minis, due to the size of my fantasy mini mountain, I have just cracked and ordered their Deadzone, which has had very good reviews.

Forgot to day. One of the coolest things I find about Mantic. All the si fi stuff plays with the sci fi stuff. For example I can use the factions in Star Saga set in Dead Zone. Wanna go bigger? You can use the same and just add more.

I always been a scale modeller, until i want to start try on table top miniature. my first box of tabletop miniatures was the first Mantic Army Box - Mhorgoth Rising! there are so affordable for me (i almost bought the Warhammer: The Island of Blood). Luckily i did a search and visited the Wolfgame Shop nearby my house and immediately caught by the nice scalped figures with proper scaled (i not a fan of GW's Heroic scale styling). two fully plastic armies of Undead and Dwarfs, a 56-page full colour 2nd edition Kings of War Rulebook including nearly 100 new units which such affordable price! i like those undead especially the zombie and ghoul! After that i learn more that Mantic is gamers friendly company, you can download rule book to start a games, no problem for gamers to use minis from other companies, and they contantly listen to the customers and keep improving. From there i started to put my support on Mantic.

Rob, my Mantic journey started 4 years ago. Got some gcps troopers and loved them. Then I got a copy of Vanguard. Great models, however the PVC models do require a great deal of moldline cleanup. Their resin stuff has been terrific.
Fast forward to this past Xmas, and I got a KOW starter. Wow, those models are great! I especially like the Halfling army! I now have a healthy backlog to complete.

Keep up the videos, man!

[Lemonsquat]

I bought my first box of mantic miniatures to get ready for the old world. Some goblin flea bags riders. The are great models.
I've been priced out by GW and
Lately I've been dwelling in other miniatures companies that deserve support.

[calvanoni]

Yes! Seen some of the Ronnie Renton interviews & I'm impressed 👍

[paulbuntman]

Thank you for the kind words! By the way, I’m Paul, and I’ll take care of Mantic’s crowdfunding projects from now on.

Mantic really has been quietly doing the Lord's work for quite some time. Really like Dungeon saga (and wish it would get an update) and kings of War looks pretty spicy too.

[daybertimagni]

Yip, agreed. Mantic have come a long way and continue to make progress - especially in the quality of their miniatures. Most importantly for me, Ronnie from Mantic always comes across as incredibly enthusiastic and invested in what they are trying to do… and there seems to be a real ‘genuineness’ in his approach. I haven’t played the other games mentioned, but have got Armada, and KOW is a great game - my go-to for old school fantasy battles.
Take care.

[Wayo.]

I really like Mantic. I wish people in my area played any of the games. Love the minis and style.

[marcelpopik]

I ll be always a Mantic fan. Mars Attacks, Deadzone, Walking Dead, Star Saga, Dungeon Saga - the best games I own till today. Seriously

[classicalcomp]

We’re playing Deadzone at miniature market cave spring twice a month. We’ve also dipped our feet in firefight. Deadzone is the best system for fast and fun games. They also sponsored our store championship. That shows how much they care. I’ve dropped well over $1000 in mantic last year and that’s over 3 games, Multiple full armies for each. I love mantic.

[joehough]

Rob, yet another great commentary. I have said in the past, and will continue to say, that 2015 was the year WFB was killed and I started to discover other game companies. I owe GW a huge thank you for that. Mantic was one of the first game companies that came to my attention with Kings of War. Yes, I use my old Empire and Dwarf armies in KoW. What endeared them to me is their customer service. I received the 'Here's Negan!' game (I wish they had been able to keep the license, oh well) without half the walkers. I had a full set within a week and they followed up to make sure I was satisfied.

[richarddespres]

Welcome to the club Rob! I made the jump to KoW a couple of years ago and am planning on shifting my 40K to Firefight now. Miniatures agnostic rules that update all armies to be balanced annually? Yes please!

[mattmont]

Rob, I am looking forward to your thoughts on Deadzone. It is my favorite skirmish game by far, and the starter box is a great value. Thanks for your work on this awesome channel!
