Ripped from seer which ripped it from somewhere else...
I'm not one to post in this section, but having attended Mantic's open day, I'll share with you a little bit of information that I managed to gain. When asking whether Humans would be after Orcs or not, I was told that it would in fact be a sci-fi race instead. Official announcement is expected at GenCon 2011...
What do people think what race they'll make? One that's compatible with 40k, no doubt...
Also, I was told that Mantic is in the process of creating uprgrades for Dwarfs (to make Chaos Dwarfs) and Elves (to make Dark Elves). They didn't say if they'd be metal or plastic though.
Lastly, the Revenant Knights are going to be made from a resin/plastic material - such as the stuff that Privateer Press uses for their Warmachine Warjacks.
All in all, it was an interesting few hours that I spent there, and was well worth my (rather religious) trip to Nottingham. I picked up a regiment of (30) Zombies for just £15! Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures - I knew that I should have brought a camera! Meeting all of the "celebrities" was quite something; especially when you've seen them in pictures but not in person. Ronnie's actually quite similar as to how he is in the videos...
All I can say is: go Mantic!
Sounds bloody interesting. I have held off purchasing the Revenant Knights as I was notified of their material change so am happy to hear this should be happening soon.
Greenskins!
Well we all know these have been coming out for a while but always gets me excited to hear them mentioned again.
Scifi Race???
Hmm... who wants to take bets on what they are?
I'm guessing something Human with laser like weapons.
