I'm curious: does Mantic have any physical presence, or are they solely online? Also, have they had any interactions at all with Games Workshop? I would imagine they don't like Mantic very much

Lol there is a guy at my LGS who is a perfect phyiscal presence of goose willis edit: Just sort of hovers around asking inane questions and barely contributing to existing conversations, except to offer a thought that is often hilariously wrong. Also seems to never actually play, just talks about his 'plans' to make 'army X/Y/Z' with this gimmick or that gimmick. It's uncanny a cock shaped fruit fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Nov 24, 2017 |

They're made up of ex-GW design team so there's some bitter blood there.

The FLGS here has some Mantic stuff, mostly just Kings of War. I haven't actually seen anyone playing them yet, but I've only been a few times during the day. e; I've got like a billion Kabalite warriors at this point. Are Wracks or Wyches something I should look into for a pure DE force? I've already got a Haemonculus to follow the Talos, but haven't gotten a Succubus to follow my raider/hellion swarms yet.

Bombogenesis posted:The FLGS here has some Mantic stuff, mostly just Kings of War. I haven't actually seen anyone playing them yet, but I've only been a few times during the day. If you want to sit on an objective in your back line, Wracks are pretty good. Not much in the way of long-ranged fire but they're T4 Elves with a 5++ and get the army wide buffs every turn. Their melee weapon is poisoned, too so, if something tough charges them (barring a vehicle) they shouldn't do terribly. Plus, liquifiers. Wyches can only stick around so long as they're in melee, thanks to that 4++ when they're fighting and there's a chance that they'll stick, thanks to the No Escape rule. They're basically your best bet at tying up a unit you don't want shooting or moving for a turn or two and even then, it's down to a contested roll. If you want Bloodbrides riding around with a Succubus, keep in mind that they only get the three Wych Weapons if there are ten of them in a squad, not one weapon for every three, like it used to be. I want to make them work but it can get expensive, since you need a Raider for the fully decked out brides and a Venom for the boss Wych.

Mantic's biggest issue is that they kickstart all their poo poo now, so local stores have no reason to bring in their poo poo because they flooded their own market with cheap kickstarter minis and so nobody wants to buy them for full price.

I might have to get them back in at that rate. 3*25 + 6*10 yeah they're 135pts. Jesus. You can get nearly two squads for what 1 used to cost. 135pts for 18 mobile HB shots is pretty tasty.

Genghis Cohen posted:Looks good man, racing stripe definitely helps it pop. Zuul the Cat posted:That blue stripe really pops, I dig it! Thanks dudes. Looking at it I think the stripe needs a little cleaning up, but it's good to have something break up the all-over orange. Also that is basically a whole pot of Valhallan Blizzard, any future snow-themed army is getting patchy drifts rather than the Antarctic all-over coverage.
