Mantic Games - Perfect Alternative to GW?

One of my favorite gaming companies is Mantic Games. If you are looking to get away from GW and find another company who actually deserves your time and money, check them out!

I'm trying to make more frequent videos that don't take as much time to edit.
Let me know down in the comments if you would like to see more of these types of videos.

Kings of War is the game I wish fantasy had been and the Goblins are stunning I love the fact that they have other armies gear.

[leesimpson]

I've upgraded to mantic Firefight ...have 1500pts of Asterians for a fraction of a GW army

[intzbk]

The Warpath? sized boxes remind me of the GW Combat Patrol sized forces. So, $45 on Mantic vs. $160 for GW.

Mantics zombies and Gouhls are pretty good miniatures. still prefer those to the GW versions.

If looking at kings of war and not wanting to buy one of the 2 player starter sets, the ambush sets are great value, with a small chunk of models as well as the rules to play them. Most of the ambush sets also have the newer mantic plastics in as well.

Been looking at maybe picking up the Marauders Enforcers firefight box, thanks for the video!

[juggernugget]

I am still currently putting together marauders and enforcers from the starter set. Also they have a new faction coming up for the game as well.

I look forward to getting into a game sometime.

The Mantic rules are way better than GW stuff. Very streamlined.

[falconiusazurius]

Neither GW or Mantic used to interest me much. I'm not into "gangs fighting in a parking lot" style games.
But now both are giving us Epic games that are arguably REAL wargames.

[Gumlass]

Armada is great, and you can get all the models as STLs from Mantic Vault.

[madpolitico]

Ah man, you missed Dungeon Saga, which is like their version of Warhammer Quest! Neat little board game with minis that can be used for RPGs. I think they’re releasing a new edition, definitely got my eye on it.

Their newer minis are definitely better. Not as cluttered with “detail” as GW minis, but that makes them easier to assemble and paint and actually get on the table, and you don’t need fifty pouches and random stuff covering every model.

Mantic is the best gaming company out there right now. Their games have ways been fantastic to play not being bogged down in endless rules and nonsense like other companies. They are quick to learn and super fun to play. I remember reading the rules for Deadzone and thinking this just makes sense, this company is getting everything right. I've played Mars Attacks, Deadzone, Walking Dead, Hellboy, Vanguard (My favorite Mantic game!) and Dungeon Saga and looking forward to Firefight and Kings of War. But above all, they love their customers and actually care about what we think. I will always be a fan of this company! Thanks Ronnie and team you are the best! (PS - their miniatures are getting better. Every new release is an improvement on the last. I love them. Great models, great games!)

[Arcemise]

Firefight is so much fun! So are Deadzone and Kings of War! Mantic makes some seriously fun games :D

[colinmack]

Ronnie Renton is the owner and CEO he was once a GW executive back in the day.

[pepdawg]

Would definitely recommend Warmachine MKIV as an alternative as well! :)

[Bodkin_Ye_Pointy]

So my observation is. why play Mantic as an alternative to GW? Why not play it for its own sake? Why does any game have to be played as an alternative to any other game, like so many content producers seem to suggest? You should be playing any game for its own sake and because you enjoy it of course. I play multiple games not because one is better than the other but because they have value in their own right.

[Aethon]

For an alternative game you should look at Conquest. Their quality is very close to GW and the gameplay is super fast and interesting.

[robertstrong]

Completely agree I did this a year ago. Models are not quite as good cosmetically. But they are good and a dam sight cheaper. If they can just fill out there lore a bit more. But yes the fact they seem to care does really help I’d recommend them too

[robtibbetts]

Reviewing Mantic's catalog is sort of an interesting way to survey the company, but I'd enjoy this video more if you showed some physical minis, either painted or unpainted.

[Cardulionax]

I actually have a Mantic Games bag that they gave out exclusively that first year (months?) they were operating as an early adopter bonus. I bought a whole ton of those early dwarves and I still have a load of them unmade as I stopped playing fantasy shortly afterwards when I moved and had no one to play it with any longer.
