Title: Humbrol and Mantic Distribution agreement.
Post by: Darsc Zacal on January 27, 2012, 04:49:56 pm
Over on Warseer, Admin Wintermute pointed out this interesting bit of news from Humbrol.

·     A global distribution agreement with fantasy war gaming specialist Mantic Games. Hornby will distribute Mantic's "Kings of War" product range under our highly complementary Humbrol brand. In doing so we will enter the lucrative fantasy war gaming market, and provide a further vehicle for sales of our Humbrol paint ranges.

I wonder if this means the end of Mantics own paint line and their relationship with Army Painter?

I really hope not. AP have just launched their Warpaints range (36 colours in dropper bottles including one of each quickshade ink) which I hoped Mantic would be stocking as these are really great paints.

Time will tell of course, but either way, getting a name like Humbrol could only be a good thing. Very exciting times indeed for Mantic by the looks of things.
