goose willis posted:You know how Mantic makes a lot of sick stuff that can be converted to Imperial or Chaos poo poo? Mantic has some stuff coming out late this year related to Star Saga, a new army called the Nameless that are all sharp claws, shells, and tentacles, but they're a while away. Concept art at the link. Finding alternate Aeldari stuff has always been really hard.

That's at least a $400 dollarydoo box for certain, if all that terrain is included.

SRM posted:Every box of that size has been $150, even the one with two Knights, the Knight upgrade sprue, and a Cities of Death building. I'd be sincerely surprised if it was more than that, $200 tops. It's not like the Space Marine Scouts and Ork Boyz sprues haven't paid for themselves at this point. I don't think I need more boyz, but 10 more Neophytes for my Black Templars would be a welcome addition. That terrain rules too. The Imperial Knights: Renegade boxed set isn't even on sale in Australia, but I can tell you that Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth and Burning of Prospero are a ludicrous $265 dollarydoos each, and they just come with cardboard tiles rather than large pieces of terrain. This thing is going to clear $400 easily

goose willis posted:Why doesn't Mantic sell a lot of their boxes directly on their main page? Like, I want to buy one of their Marauder guntracks to use as artillery for my friend's Orks, but I can only buy it from eBay or from various third-party sellers, which makes no sense to me. Two reasons, 1) Mantic wants you to buy it from your FLGS, because they're trying to build relationships, and 2) Sometimes they have stock issues getting replacements from China, all related to distance, getting a production slot in the factory (which otherwise spends the year making light switches and car dashboards by the million), and needing to wind stock down completely so that they can bulk buy with some confidence of sales in a reasonable timeframe. It's a good mini though, I have 4 of them, come with 2 different guns. LingcodKilla posted:Those grots are not weedy enough. Cool little gun emplacement but looks too organized. titty_baby_ posted:it reminds me of the older orks. i have a book from the first edition of epic, and in it the orks are portrayed as being a bit more organized and less ramshackle then modern ones In story and style Mantic Marauders are more like Mass Effect Grogans than GW Orks.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:It's a symptom of their Kickstarter model, once their initial allotment of a model runs out that's pretty much it for the model and your only hope is leftover stock at LGS or websites. Nah, they just come in batches, it's a symptom of small company and Chinese manufacturing, the only time something goes out of stock and never returns is when it's being replaced by a new version. They don't have in house PVC or ABS production, so they can't just whistle up new sprues and have them boxed and ready to ship to stores in a couple days like GW does and can.

They checked into it and discovered they couldn't file a trademark for "being French", so they got the arse and were replaced with Sigmarines on Catlizards

goose willis posted:I want to buy some 28mm model kits just to play around with and to have spare bits laying around for various purposes, any new recommendations? Doesn't have to be sci-fi or 40k-related at all, but I figured I'd ask here because you all have experience with all sorts of kits. Generic soldier dudes, monsters, etc. Has to be cheap. https://store.warlordgames.com/ https://dreamforge-games.com/ http://warzone.prodosgames.com/ http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop.html Wargames Factory used to have cool and cheap little scifi sets that could be used in 40k, but they merged with Warlord, and Warlord are taking for loving ever to get the WGF stuff back on sale. If you can find some of the old boxes like Shock Troops on sale in your FLGS, get those.
