Mantic Vault

I’ve long been a fan of Mantic Games. As much a fan of the company as the things they produce. There’s a definite “early GW” vibe coming out of that place, all energy and genuine excitement about the things they produce. It’s hard not to get caught up in that.

So when they launched the Mantic Vault, their 3D subscription service similar to Patreon, I had to jump in. I got the early bird discount too, so it’s cheaper than my One Page Rules patreon. It’ll take time to properly evaluate the value proposition of course, but so far it seems pretty good bang for the buck. A lot of Armada ships have already been released in the first three month’s packs, along with some full kits (halfling balloons!!) and upgrades for existing kits.

I think this is very exciting, it needed a big company like Mantic to take the plunge and try to augment their range with 3D files, we’ll see where it leads. Whatever happens they’re making GW suddenly look very old fashioned.

Here’s what I’ve printed and painted so far, the start of my dwarf fleet. Then I’m going to do an Empire of Dust one, and a Basilean one, then my gaming group can try our first battle and see if it sinks or swims.

Oh and like all good subscription services, the Mantic Vault has an ever growing welcome pack which has an interesting collection including two upgrades for the goblin Giant.
