    Bad Tiger... Baaad Tiger! No freshly dismembered animal parts for you!

    Thanks for clearing that up so quickly Siam-Tiger, although I can't say that I'm not disappointed. You guys just did too good of a job in making it believable.

    Next year, you should do something a little more outlandish... Like Mantic teaming up with the Brushfire team to bring us Berserker Space Hamsters... Or something.

    Heh, I'd actually be fairly happy with that April Fools coming true.

    Sounds a lot better than "space orcs vs. space dwarfs" in a new game called "Kings of Sprue-Rehashing" anyway.

    I would expect something Sci-Fi to surface near GenCon from the rumors I've heard.

    Hi folks!

    Sorry to have disappointed you, let's hope the best for the real game.

    But I'm glad you liked my little fake image.

    Showed the pic to Ronnie this morning before Adepticon opened, had a good chuckle at it.

    It's genius - I had a "I can't believe they hadn't shown me this" moment >.<

    I'm glad to see they're making Mass Effect-y humans and not just Space Orcs vs. Space Dwarves, which means plastics instead of more expensive hybrid kits.
    Who said anything about expensive hybrid kits...

    I really hope it is Space Orcs Vs Space Dwarves and that it is like 40k in those far off days when it was actually good.
    Is your gaming club in Gosport or Portsmouth looking for an experienced new member with an interest in historicals but willing to play pretty much anything? If so drop me a PM.

    Don't forget that the Abyssal Dwarf Army Deals - Gorgoth's Legion of Terror and Gorgoth's Colossal Legion of Terrors ends on Monday 4th April. Both qualify for free shipping and a free Goblin Sneek, as well as include Free printed Kings of War rules. Also, the Colossal Legion contains Berserkers of the Abyss that won't be released until May and Abyssal Half-Breed cavalry that might not be released as a seperate kit in metal at all!

    Re: Mantic Games News and Rumour Roundup

    I really hope for a human faction that has a more elegant high tech look than GW's miniatures. HALO and Mass Effect would be a great inspiration for the design.

    I never really liked the strange fantasy/sci-fi mixture of Warhammer 40k, and I think that it is time for Mantic to become a bit more unique in their design.

    Re: Mantic Games News and Rumour Roundup

    I wouldn't stress out over missing out on the half-breeds. It'll probably be possible to convert some nice ones using the hero model and the abyssal torsos (the RHQ video suggests that this is highly doable). Expensive though, cavalry really has to be first thing on the list for resin plastic treatment.

    They're being looked at is resin plastic, it might be that we never release an individual metal kit for them like the revenant knights.

    Should we expect any info from Adepticon? I was kinda expecting some info to have dripped down to us by now.

    Re: Mantic Games News and Rumour Roundup

    If I recall correctly, last year a couple of Warseerians attended Adepticon and got some info out of Ronnie. He was also interviewed for a podcast or two.

    So unless one of us is attending, or someone else from another site interviews Ronnie and posts it somewhere, we may not hear too much.

    I know that Cyporiean is busy down there manning her companies table, On The Lamb Games. No idea if she'll have the time to speak much with Ronnie. Fingers crossed.

    Both the Space Orcs vs. Space Dwarves and the sci-fi conversion bits were brought up in the same rumour thread a few months back.

    Like Darkover, I'd rather get ME-style humans than fantasy races in space but if Mantic is going to make Space Dwarves, I know I'd like to see a modular Land Train kit, like an extendable version of the Bronco ATTC.

    Re: Mantic Games News and Rumour Roundup

    The only video I've found featuring Mantic at Adepticon is this one.

    http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?xl=xl_blazer&v=4KgHQHFWrmQ

    Unfortunately nothing new is in it, and the video isn't the best, but we do get to see some of the Abyssal minis and the painted Orc 3up that we've seen in the still pics.

    There is another set of Hasslefree figures coming out.

    I know the sets are coming. I was just expecting the next two to have been out in March.
