Ronnie Takes Over & New Sci-Fi/Fantasy Taster Sets On The Way From Mantic
August 15, 2016 by brennon
Ronnie appears to have taken over Mantic Games once more after his return from Gen Con and that means there's plenty more coming to their webstore soon. Just see the video above for a taster of what's to come!
Taster Boxes
With tasters in mind they also have new Taster Boxes for both their Sci-Fi and Fantasy ranges...
The Fantasy Taster contains around seventy models from a range of their Kings of War armies as well as their LOKA and Dungeon Saga range.
The Sci-Fi Taster follows the same line of thinking and includes seventy miniatures from Deadzone, DreadBall, DreadBall Xtreme and Mars Attacks.
Effectively this means that you could either use the Fantasy box to bolster your Fantasy forces or populate a dungeon, or pick up some Sci-Fi miniatures to try out paint schemes and see which army you might like to pick up for Deadzone or Warpath.
Will you be picking one of these up?

Over all this is nice idea. I am hoping that this is going to be success for them so that they can continue making these.
Damn those are some very nice looking lizards and vermin.. looks like its worth keeping an eye on mantic this fall
And that is how to preview a range. Who needs 40 minutes discussing four sprues!
Gotta love Ronnie’s enthusiasm and passion for what he does. Although I’m slightly concerned he appears to be turning into Doc Brown from back to the future, especially the hair!
If we ever hear him exclaim “Great Scott!!!!!” we know it won’t be long before he buys a DeLorean.
That man is the reason I continue to support Mantic (even after the autrocity of the Basilean Men-at-Arms). I wish I could bottle his entusiasm. Their games are fun to play, they know what the want to do, and some of their recent sculpts are fantastic (I have just finished painting a five dwarf Steel Warriors sprue for Deadzone and I was happy with the result (even with my limited painting skills) . More of these videos please Ronnie they always give me a laugh (and bring back Orcy)
the board behind him is the most interesting part, ophidian and naiad armies and big monsters
Reminds of the old Fantasy Regiments from GW, where you got a bunch of different kinds of guys. Mantic is the first rival gaming company to be able to do all these cool ideas again, I’m glad they are.
The christmas crazy box just went 4 seasons. Great for getting some random bits to inspire a new force, maybe something you’d never considered before. And fun trading bits with mates.
P.S. Dungeon Saga in Space! This could be dangerous for my wallet.
I loved this video. Like @beardragon14 I don’t always think very highly of everything Mantic produces, but I appreciate the way they do business, treat their customers, approach the hobby and generally remind me about the kind of excitement GW generated in me when I was first starting out in the hobby.
They have some hits and some misses, but I love the way they know what they’re trying to do, know who their audience is, and how they keep improving.
And of course sometimes they do produce stuff that really impresses me.
Lol cant beat a Ronny rant he should be sponsored by Duracell.
look like a great deal with the boxes.
