Mantic Dwarves = Pure Win

[Erik Lindley]

Like I mentioned in ep002, I got a killer deal on a huge army of mantic dwarves. They just arrived in the mail. WOW. I was blown away.

One thing that I had no idea about (and I looked at the models pretty closely online first) was that the basic trooper model (the ironclad) can be built with great weapons! I didn't see that option listed anywhere. Not only can they be built with GW, but the GW look really nice to boot (great hammers).

This makes me happy to no end since I just got 100 of the ironclads for peanuts ;D ;D That gives me lots of flexability.

I will post picts and a comparasion at some point. 'Gotta carve out some time and space to really take a good stab at them.

I've looked at the Mantic stuff and been pretty happy. I even got one of their Undead catapults to add another Rock Lobba to my OnG horde. I just wanted something different than the same-same (that and it was about $25 cheaper than GW!). The only thing is that it is rather small-ish. Not that it matters that much for a war machine. It just makes it easier to fit somewhere.

I hear the Undead line is their best. The next they are coming out with is Orcs!

Mantic makes some sweet minis. I never took a shine to the elves as I just like the GW elf look but I've been collecting the undead stuff for a while to do a VC army. One thing I really like about the dwarves is there size. I like their proportions even better than the GW stuff.

Look forward to seeing the army.

Mantic does have some awesome minis, am hoping they come out with an Empire-esque army.

Yeah, my VC army is mostly Mantic (ghouls, Skellies, and Grave Guard) My only issue will be getting great weapons on the Revenant models (GG).

I really like their dwarfs. I say the test runs for the Goblins. They look really mean!! That's absolutley what I'm useing for my regular Gobbos. Their "warboars" look soooo much better than GW.
