Mantic Show off More of their Warpath Enforcers
July 27, 2012 by brennon
So we saw the Enforcer Captain for Mantic's Warpath at the start of the week, and we have been teased with concept art and 'rear facing marines' for a while now. But it is finally time to show off more of the Enforcers of the Corporation...
First up above is the Strike Enforcer. As you can see while he has a lot of the same qualities as the Captain his armour is less bulky. This doesn't mean he's less of a threat though, as that rather large rifle attests.
And next up we have a look at some Enforcers wielding heavy weapons, and even some of the other kit these soldiers will be wearing. These miniatures remind me more and more of a video game every day, and I suppose that's a good thing!
Mantic are going to be releasing more images of the Enforcers throughout the day so keep checking back to this post for new images as and when they hit!
What are you going to arm your Enforcers with?

These would look fantastic painted up in Iron Man style colours! Might see if I can work this into my up coming cultist army for 40k
Yeah I was just thinking the same thing – I think it’s the helmet that does it (even though the top pic makes the helmet look like a surprised duck with the beak open wide..)
Hmm you know, if the helmet was just a little more filled out around the mouth and nose, these guys would make good Mass Effect Cerberus troopers!
That’s my painting plan for these guys!
I’d rather paint them up like War Machine than Ironman.
The face plates are slightly odd looking in bare resin, they’ll probably look better painted, and the knees and neck look a bit thin to actually fit a guy with a chest that wide inside.
IG Storm Troopers!!!
Mantic Warpath sure has some nice figs…wonder what these dudes look like next to Infinity figs
Hope Mantic sells well
They would make great Heavy Infantry in Infinity. This looks pretty close to their standards even.
The pose (I hope) in the first two pics make the legs look really short
I see that as they have just landed from a drop or over a ledge or something, so its an action pose I guess. The one I just uploaded shows a little more in terms of height on the models.

I’m a big fan of Mantic stuff, and love the armour on these guys. The only thing that strikes me wrong is the helmet. Every time I look at it I see a duck with its mouth open. Anyone else?
I just love the smiley on the cap’t ankle

Meh, more models for the Space Marine crowd… I guess it’s a proven money maker.
That seems a bit wierd a comment given their only relation to space marines is being human and having some sort of armor. Everything else about them is completely different aesthetics, and indeed very nice at that.
Agreed, Power armour goes back before 40k! Goes back to the Lensman series in 1937 even.
Power Armour I believe comes from Heinlein but Space Marines are a rip of, of the Storm Troopers from Starwars coupled with a more fantasy “let’s make them look like suits of armour” remit.
Over all I like the models but the pose of the 2nd one look like he just done some bussiness an is just getting up from it – but I think is is just the angle from which the photo is taken
Loving these guys, don’t think some of the angles/shadowsare helping the facemasks but hopefully a nice paint job should emphasize the techno-skull look more than the duck bill. The heavy armour captain is awesome. As for “Meh, space marines…”, half of all GW’s profits are from space marine mini’s so that’s where the money is but at the same time these have a distinctly more high tech look and I think work as a next step up from the standard Corp troops.
I actually see armored terminators/robots in those models.
What idiots have said these are like Space Marines? And yes, they are idiots, and I don’t want to offend.
They are closer to Star Wars Stormtroopers, if anything. But these are generic sci-fi elites, HALO etc etc. Countless games and manga etc have soldiers like this.
