Does anyone here have any of the Mantic goblins for Kings of War? I like the pointy-eared gobbo design and was wondering how they turned out. Also the Mantic site is out of them at the moment, so I'm wondering what online stores will ship to Canada.

Indolent Bastard posted:I don't see any kings of war in stock right now but Meeplemart might be worth contacting since they are in Canada already. Meeplemart also has the Basicks Soviet Goblins  muskets posted:The gobbos are... variable quality at best, production-wise, and there are some REALLY bad sprue connector locations. Like on the nose, right in the middle of the face. Detail can be decent, can be blurry crap. They used a subpar plastic production process for them and the Basilean men-at-arms, which has been abandoned but left its legacy in two exceptionally bad plastic kits. Use other goblins if possible. Good to know!

Wow, I can't seem to find anyone shipping the Goblin rabble to Canada. I guess Mantic needs to whip up some more boxes.

Frobbe posted:I've got an email from one of their sales guys saying that their boat from china containing all the goblins got delayed due to bad weather, so they haven't got any goblins at all (this was two weeks ago) Turns out the day I order the rabble from another store, they're back in stock at Mantic HQ. Oh well, this way I was able to order to some Zomblins from Titan Forge as well

Got my first box of goblins, the rabble specifically. They come on the archer sprues, and the bows are a little mushy and need some work (this must be from the 'old' batch). The metal limbs are just fine. Detail about on par with Warlord games' historical plastic dudes. My D&D games always feature goblins and these guys will work well for a Tolkien-esque group of gobbos, running around serving dark lords and the like. I'll post my test gobbo once he's done.

 I'm still learning, but I'm pleased with the results. These guys are fun to paint, they have a lot of character which makes or breaks the model for me.

Does anyone have the Undead Mummies? I've always loved having mummy minis and love the idea of mummy infantry, and warhammer doesn't really have mummies per se.

Hey all, I was given an older army set of Abyssal Dwarves, does anyone have any good guides or ideas for painting them up? The classic red/bronze/black look is pretty spiffy, but I was curious if anyone had any better suggestions. Does Mantic have painting guides on their website, like GW used to?

Hey guys, my FLGS has a Baldr's Armoured Battalion on clearance for $70  and I'm wondering if anyone has ordered spare metal parts from Mantic? I'm hoping to use them for an Abyssal Dwarf army and am tempted to get them if I can get the metal conversion parts.

I'm glad they have made their games affordable because I want to play all of them.

Daedleh posted:One thing that KoW really needs is more background. I've been writing up background for a campaign day I'm running soon and ran it past the fluff bible expert to make sure it doesn't contradict anything. The thing is that unless you write about Basilea, there's very little for you to contradict on. I've been trying to get back into writing, so I hope they are looking for fluff writers  MasterSlowPoke posted:The first thing they need to fix is the world's name.

I'm curious to see what the skull markers look like, but the resin figures/epic ones do not intrigue me, or the extra maps. However, if they ship the $30 undead figures before next year I'd be pleased

I missed the clarification, but if we order the extra $30 add-ons will they be mailed shortly, or when everthing is done? $30 for the undead and gobbo extra packs are a nice deal.
