Dropships & Mutated Plague Beasts Coming To Mantic’s Warpath
January 21, 2016 by brennon
Some new models have popped up as previews for Mantic's Warpath Kickstarter. It seems like the Plague have fattened up after Christmas and the swell of their stomachs still hasn't gone down even as we near the beginning of February! Welcome the Plague Busters...
These monstrously obese creatures have been mutated to the degree that just being around them spreads the plague like wildfire. The plague will spread to new units in-game quickly around these fellows who are covered in all sorts of disgusting sores and weeping wounds. Lovely.
When you're in a bind however it's always good to have some transport options available to you like the GCPS Hornet. I think Warren will approve of the delivery method by which the troops hit the ground.
You might remember that we had a similar idea for our Warhammer 40,000 Drop Troop army that would come out of these big container style carriages underneath the ships. According to Mantic this will also come in a Plague-ified version so you can bring it into the services of the doomed!
What do you think of their progress?

nice, the hornet looks good.
The drop ship kinda reminds me of the “toy” that Warran repurposed a while back which was cool as well.
The plague bursters are great. The dropship is a little too stubby to me. I can’t help but imagine it would be a clumsy little f**ker to fly, but I understand that keeping the design compact will work better in resin.
The GCPS Hornet will be hard plastic, I believe.
Really like the dropship. That would be useful for a number of games. I remember Warren suggesting a Mercs scenario when the team has to grab a package (a live, none-to-cooperative one) and then ‘get back to da chopper’. This looks very suitable.
plague factoin was so great because it didnt looked like GW chaos, so I dont like new plague models, look to much like any other chaos model out there.
