Mantic Games Announce Hellboy Board Game In 2018
January 5, 2018 by brennon
Mantic Games are going to be joining forces with Dark Horse Comics to produce Hellboy: The Board Game in 2018 with an upcoming Kickstarter project...
The game will focus on a cooperative experience for players as they take on the roles of Hellboy, Abe Sapien and Roger the Homunculus as they explore Gothic ruins and hunt down nefarious foes from the comic book series.
The sculpts will be influenced by the style of Mike Mignola as you'll see which should get many folks quite excited. They are also going to be pre-assembled and ready to go - we're hoping for something akin to The Walking Dead: All Out War.
We look forward to hearing more about this one in the coming weeks...
What do you think of the idea?

With this Mantic got my attention once again. I am interested from this one.
Although I’m a Hellboy fan (and I’ve backed quite a few Mantic KS), suffering from “Boardgame with minis” fatigue 🙁
Too many of these around these days that only get played a few times. Looking for things that will be replayed at lot more (possibly a rank and file game), but starting to feel that many of these boardgame with minis are starting to look like a reskin of previous games with different custom dice and slightly different rules 🙁
I’d back this for a Hellboy Deadzone faction!
Hellboy dungeon saga could be fun too…
I am so excited for this. Hellboy is one of my favorite comic series, Mike Mignolla’s style is excellent, and the live action movies introduced me to my now favorite film make, Guillermo Del Toro.
I cannot wait to see how this plays, the BPRD world always has so many amazing versions of creepy monsters and deities from folklore, it will be fun to fight them!
If the sculpts are walking dead level I could be tempted to grab despite my reservations about mantic. Could be so very cool.
Hellboy and BOARD minis? I’m sold!
Dreadball 2 minis have turned out pretty well IMO so this looks positive. I think Mantic are Bering smart to go with comic licences rather than pursue movie or TV show likenesses, it should allow for smother IP approvals and long term support.
Yay, now there is zero chance warpath and firefight will get an faq/errata 🙁
I don’t think the two affect each other. FAQ and errata are handled by the rules committee, not the game designers at Mantic.
It seems to some extent that is true, but they hold all the power, and don’t seem to be pushing it. I know the walking dead made them lots of money, but it would be nice if they at least pretended to care about their ‘core’ games….
Looks interesting and with the new HellBoy film coming out this year as well. Fingers crossed that rumors are true and it maybe an R rated film, also hope the actor who plays the sheriff from Stranger Things can carry on the mantle of Ron Pearlman.
Definitely interested if the sculptures are good and the gameplay interesting.
In the backround of the picture you can see “JUSTIN”
😀 . Yeah, @dignity can now move into Cosplay as the Mad Monk Rasputin…… 😉 .
If the models look good I will be backing this Kickstarter. The game itself is secondary.
hopping for some stunning figures soon then.
This should be epic.
Ok. This is an instant must have for me.
This has me excited. As long as the mould lines and finished casts are better than previous offerings I’d be happy. I hate the restic stuff…
They haven’t used restic in a quite a few years. It’ll be the PVC stuff like in Walking Dead and Zombicide and most other games now.
Ah ok cool thanks for the info@blackspiral I haven’t been buying a lot of mantic stuff at all. Thats good to hear, it is a better material by far.
I can’t wait for this. I’m hoping we get a preview soon.
