I got an Abyssal Dwarf megaforce and when I realized a lot of the models were just regular dwarf models and I was supposed to glue some poorly-cast toppers onto their helmets to make them look like the old Chaos Dwarves and it was just bush league as gently caress. That's my post about Mantic models, thanks for reading everyone.

Yeah I'd be disappointed if that had happened to me, I think that's why they're redoing the Twilight Kin, because the poorly cast toppers had an even worse fit. Those new Dusty Mans look pretty cool though.

So I emailed Mantic two weeks ago to ask if I could swap one of my Enforcer battlegroups to a FF battlegroup, since I have many enforcers already, and the reply was "the pledge manager is closed". You guys think I'd have any more luck giving it another try now that it is re-opening? Or is this kind of a lost cause?

Difference is the dwarfs were popular despite being poo poo, so they got new sculpts, and the Twilight Kin were both poo poo and unpopular, so they got shelved for a complete redesign.

Good news! Pretty soon it'll be fairly cheap exchange rate-wise to order Mantic figures from the UK! Make sure to grab that free shipping.

signalnoise posted:Just sucks for me I feel ya. It really sucks to buy into something then suddenly it gets dropped like a stone by your FLGS. WHFB "Revival" (half finished H.Elf army) Dreadball (Corp) Deadzone (starter box) "Oh yeah guys let's totally start playing Blood Bowl again" (Orcs) Infinity (Haqqislam starter + several extra minis) And people at the FLGS wondered why I stopped playing games/coming for a while. Gets tiring dropping $100+ on minis only for everyone to suddenly move onto the next shiny thing. The only thing that has staying power here is Warmahordes, and I just can't get into that game. Hell, the Guild Ball league here has dropped two players (out of ten) after a month and a half. Those two were for Life reasons, AFAIK, but it still has me worried about it happening all over again.

Oh man. Almost all of those look super good. The not-Ushabti give me a very golem-esque vibe which is really fitting for them, I love it The rank-and-file foot soldiers and bowmen look great too!

 Their other undead scheme is hideous and somehow manages to make what's probably their best overall line look like like hot puke. I get that they wanted a purple-based look, but that doesn't mean dress your skeletons in fire-engine red and royal blue ffs.

That lapis lazuli and white gold look is what ancient Egyptian artifacts look like, in every book on the topic I ever read in primary and high school.

Spiderdrake posted:Old people being racist. Surveys showed a sharp incline in "leave" as the age of those surveyed went up. It wont stick, Brexit was pretty far behind staying but the weather was terrible yesterday. Statistically, when weather is bad, the campaign that is ahead in polls suffers since everyone figures "we're already winning, why bother going out in this?"

The UK debate was fought over immigration and the economy. The Euro zone has had its economic issues and it has all been tied up with the freedom of movement immigration debate and our right to set our own laws rather than have them made in Brussels by unelected EU ministers. All in all I'm disappointed in my country today and saddened that it has come to this. But to get us back on track, the pound is weakened so you bloody foreigners can hope to grab some cheap Mantic minis or something.

Random thought: Most of the people I know who try Kings of War like it but the few that don't find it too bland. These are people who generally don't prioritize balance and prefer some of the zaniness from GW games. I see the same sentiment from some of these people online as well, that KoW is too streamlined or whatever. What is Mantic's disposition towards fan supplements? Mostly I'm thinking about some sort of fan-made characters, abilities and artifacts tailored towards the 'It's not zany enough' crowd.
