And the 8th Race is…
February 16, 2012 by brennon
It seems that nothing is safe from the powers of the internet and someone with a camera phone. Check out this sneaked shot of the 8th Race from Mantic Games' Warpath and of course Project Pandora.
It seems like this has been grabbed from some promotional image for the Grim Cargo set, showing off the rest of the artwork and the foes the Corporation will be facing. Known as the Vermyn through whispers on the net, how do you feel about this new race?

All I know is that it will be great to finally see the models.

which dirty filthy rat leaked this image??? 😉
so its rat men in spaaccceeeee
I didn’t personally take the picture, I found it on another site and reposted it. 🙂
Frothers? I know that’s where I went…
Im sticking with my own Egyptian theme and living in denial.
They still look like werewolves in spaaaaaaaaaace to me in that picture.
Yup, no rodent-like incisors …
But they do have rat-like tails.
True. Must be genetic experimenting involved …
YAY!!!!!!! a proper evil army for warpath. Alessio told me that he enjoyed writing their list as it was “close to his heart”. they are gonna be so cool.
Ace! I love Mantic’s interpretation of sci-fi so far. Really looking forward to seeing the models. Anyone else signed up for Mantic Elite? I went for it now seeing what the 8th Race is. I get the Corp and think my friend will want the Vermyn.
its a shame its been leaked, but then again these are the times we live in, love the concept, even though im freaked out by rats im really excited about these models
pssst … the leak is “mighty” coincidental with the whole Pandora Week. You might want to put away that “times we live in” stamp or as Voltaire’s Pangloss would say “all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds”. 🙂
I like it that someone seems to learn from both mistakes, and good practices of GW …
It has confirmed my hunch. Look at the poor guys, they get a bad rap because of looks. In reality this 8th race is rather friendly and mean no harm. The hissing and clawing in there culture is how they say welcome. Also being on a foreign ship the reason they run all over the place is because the men’s washroom is not well marked with 8th race signage. You don’t want them taking dumps in corners do we? So give the 8th race a chance corp. have a heart.
So the 8th race are out forth?
I think I know why mantic’s stuff is so much cheaper now, its not that they want to give better value for money, they just can’t count high enough to rip us off 😛

Cock, I either forgot the link or its not working, skip to 1:50 in the vid and you can’t miss it…
I think it’s the ever-so-discreet “GTFO, I’m working!” look … or maybe the 8th race got the better of the man and now controls him!
Oh no I was wrong!
Looking at that picture I’ll note it doesn’t look sci-fi ish – the armour that is. It looks multi-purpose (sci-fi and fantasy) which could bode well for certain lovers of fantasy rat men.
Mantic might just use a basic sprue as the foundation for both fantasy and sci-fi “8th race” … which can be a positive if done right.
@poosh I agree, but at Mantics open day Ronnie said that the Forgefathers/marauders would be the only crossover parts figures. everything for warpath and KOW will be bespoke for each system from now on.
Well that’s up to them and entirely depends on their look/design. We’d all prefer separate so I guess this is a good thing!
I DO hope they bring out NEW models for the Rebel faction though. I think Mantic should look into brining out several human regiments – they clearly have the talent for it. Give ’em a few years I guess.
nice space rats!
I think I am the only one that is not happy about this kinda lame IMHO.
Well, let’s see what they actually do with it first…
the second dude he speaks to the guy painting is a friend of mine used to work at my local GW
been waiting for space rats for years, was hoping for greys personally , but can go with this.
I assume there will be a Warpath army list too , or will there be a Pandora/Warpath cross pollination!
Space rodents. Huh. Could the secret in the holds of the Grim Cargo be… CHEESE? We all want it.
I see mantic cant do math…isnt this the 2nd race?? 😉
And by 2nd you mean 3rd, right? 😛
Im glad someone is awake this morning
For some reason i think my brain did humans + 2 races
