1  Dwarf King's Hold / Green Menace / Re: its fun! on: August 12, 2011, 08:27:51 pm
I picked up a copy of Green Menace at the UK open day. Have played a few games and really enjoy it.

Really like the difference between the two races - makes for some interesting challenges in some of the scenarios (esp. scenario 10, IIRC)
2  Kings of War / Orcs / Re: Orcling Swarms on: July 29, 2011, 07:57:57 am
Unfortunately no pics. Sorry  Embarrassed

However, I am sure it will be a square base, just because I remember thinking, "ah, snotlings! That's what I can do with all the little guys that come with the sprues"
3  Warpath / The 8th Race / Re: What will the 8th Race be? on: July 26, 2011, 05:55:15 pm
I don't think it will be aliens, as this is already covered.

I was at the Open Day and when it was discussed I immediately thought, 'Terminator' - some kind of machine race, much like GW's Necron Warriors, but with a more futuristic spin (think futuristic scenes in Terminator), rather than a Egyptian spin.

Hello mate. Glad you found us here Smiley

We'll have to compare notes on Orcs then. Do you reckon you have a chance of having them ready for the AOS event in November?

Thanks Matt.

I hope so. Mentioned on relevant thread that I am hoping to have an army ready, but it may not be fully painted though Embarrassed Estarriol mentioned a 1,500pt game vs Elves.

Looking to order the Barbarous Horde Army Deal before the end of the month 'deadline'. Will top that up with the Army set a bit later. Just waiting for the Orc Beta list to turn into the Orc 2011 list!

Hi all,

Just a quick note to say hello!

Been into toy soldiers since I started secondary school back in '93 (before this I was assembling and painting Aifix planes). Been GW all the way for me. Mostly 40k - Space Marines (3 chapters) and IG - but also Blood Bowl. In recent years (as earnings increased) I have got into Warhammer (Skaven). Lucky for me, I have a friend (Baragash), who has a broader wargaming spectrum and introduced me to Mantic. I read the KoW rules and was interested.

Having been into GW for nearly 20 years, it was almost a step too far. To be honest, I wasn't bowled over by the models... until I saw the Orcs! Fantastic models. I went to the Open Day (I was with Baragash, wearing a white polo shirt and dark shorts, with a blue Nike bag) and was impressed with all the models when viewed up close. Mantic's website does not do them justice!

Since the Open Day, I have really been into Mantic. I bought both DKH at the Open Day (luckily, as Dead Rising has already sold out!) and have played some of the scenarios from both (brillaint games). I have also ordered an Orc Army Deal and am hoping to get a few games in soon...

Thanks!
