Tempted to Try

Tempted to Try

Postby Bob_to_Some » Mon May 23, 2011 10:14 am

Hi all,

I have been growing more and tempted by Mantic. The latest developments with GW have I think tipped me over the edge.

I have just scoured the Mantic site, read the rules and army lists and decided that I would like a varied evil horde. My initial plans were Undead majority, with a small band of Orcs and then Evil dwarves.

I think I would like to go with say 600 pts Orcs, 600pts A/Dwarves and 1200 points of undead.

Although do any of you know if Mantic have plans to do a 'Empire/Chaos Warriors/Goblins' type army? (Then I can utilise a lot of stuff I already have!

Might try a few games using 'stand in' models just to see what type of army fits me best.

Thanks, I have a large WH Empire army sat in boxes at home, in addition a handful of Chaos stuff remains from previous armies (Deamons / Beasts / Mortals)

My first plans would be to use the models I have then purchase a bulk of Mantic stuff to combine with them. I found a comparison picture of MAntic models and GW stuff and from initial views they look very very similar in bulk/size!

This is good because it means I can still grow my WH collections but with cheaper models.

Win, Win.

Hi,
If you go on to the Warseer site and look for Mantic in forums there is a few unofficial lists there including Human, Chaos Warrior(a combined effort between myself and Matt Gilbert) Daemon etc. Worth a look as they have been put together by people like yourself who have GW armies and wish to use as much as possible. I've used a few of these lists and they are pretty good. I think that the separate lists for Orc & Goblins are very entertaining! Better than the official list currently issued in my opinion!
That is the great thing about KoW rules, they can be easily adapted to any army you wish providing you're not too drastic with abilities etc!
Good luck and give KoW a go! You won't regret it!

Good to have another convert :D

Goblins are the next army out by all accounts and yes, Humans will be coming at some point. I hope we get more information at the open day in July... I'm really looking forward to that!
