Mantic Preview Puppy Launcher & Terrain Crate Return To Kickstarter
February 3, 2019 by dracs
The folks at Mantic are keeping themselves busy as they previewed a new piece of cuddly artillery for the Kings of War goblins and announce the return to Kickstarter for Terrain Crate 2!
Aww, It Wants To Savage Me!
Starting with a look at a new weapon the goblins are wheeling out, we find that something can be both deadly and adorable with the Maw Pups Launcher.
Yup, that's a mortar firing Scrappy Doo right at your face. Puppy Power a**h*les!
This may well be one of my favourite goblin miniatures. Not only does it have tons of character and humour, but the addition of elements like the pup gnawing on the bloody arm makes this into a very cinematic piece that captures the chaotic atmosphere of a goblin force perfectly.
I just hope they have a rule where the enemy can be too distracted by how cute the pup is to realise its chewing their face.
Terrain Crate 2! Return Of The Terrain
Mantic recently announced that they will soon be returning to Kickstarter to help fund Terrain Crate 2.
So far, Mantic have previewed only a few bits of terrain they are planning on for the new sets, but they look to be working on a varied selection suitable for lots of different settings.
Mantic's Terrain Crate range is a superb way to add terrain elements to your tabletop. We have talked before about how much we love these pieces, so it is very exciting to see them working towards expanding it further.
What terrain do you hope to see in the Kickstarter?

I’ve always been critical of Mantic’s sculpts but that Launcher is awesome.
Great terrain an the scrappy doo gang
Quite excited about Terrain Crate. I backed the first one and it’s absolutely great stuff, really good value for money and really good quality.
I also think that their sculpts are starting to really pick up across the board
Looking forward to see what pieces of furniture they release .I want to add some internal details to a couple of damaged WW2 era houses for display / diorama purposes . Not going to jump on the kickstarter but will pick up the various pieces / sets when they hit the LHS .
Awwwh puppies.
that is all.
Mantic’s minis are a bit hit and miss IMO. This is a colossal hit – an early candidate for my mini of the year.
Hmmm, stuff usable in Hellboy games. And at whom should I aim my pun-gun, the BoW-wow boys or the Frantic Mantics? Taking my last name in vain, geesh!
The puppy (or are they 4-legged piranhas) launcher looks really cute, but, somehow, with goblins involved, I have doubts whether they’d survive the launch or the flight. Can it be taken with the Red Goblins for the ogres as well?
Yes oh yes …. yes …… well I can see a new goblin army in my future…. (i am going to end up owning every faction in mantica at this rate … sheesh)
I have really been enjoying painting the pieces I got from the first campaign so I am already saving my pennies to go crazy on this one. Besides, I really want a grand piano for my Wolsung set ups.
Backed the first Terrain Crate and am very happy with what I got. If the second looks as good I will back again. Do they have a date yet?
