<3 Reaper mini's!  Wish game companies could do pewter with Reaper quality.

Thanks for the info

I like that the rules lend themselves to using other mini's, and the mini's lend themselves to using other rules.

People show interest at the LGS whenever the rare group comes in to play Warhammer, Warmachine, or Hordes.  That interest pops like a bubble when they see multiple large rule/faction/codec books and hear the players brag about how they've invested hundreds of dollars in their armies.  I think KoW will be able to hold that interest with it's 50-page rulebook and insta-armies under $100

I've never been much on the gaming side of miniatures.  I've always been more of a painter.  Nothing competition or display level.  I just paint for enjoyment.

That being said, WHF or WH40K never really tempted me.  Honestly, I considered the organic models too cartoonish and the mechanical models never appealed.  Never thought I'd like plastic models.  I worked in injection molding 16 years so it tends to make em dislike plastic of any sort.

But the KoW models were cheap enough to give it a shot.  Now, I've got about 200 figures in the works.  Mantic models have features and proportions that are more akin to what you would get from a classic miniature company rather than a game-oriented company.  Hard to explain properly, but there it is.

Actually, I've always been more of a painter.  Not competition level or anything.  Always painted to please myself, not others.  Started with lead in the 80's.  These will be the first non-metal fig's I've ever painted.

For cavalry, Conquest Games has 28mm Norman Knights in plastic.  I haven't seen them "in person" but they have pictures of the sprues on their website  http://www.conquest-games.co.uk/index.php and they look pretty nice

For those in the US, Architects of War carries them also http://www.architectsofwar.com/conquestgamesplasticnormans.aspx

Hello everyone.  Thought I'd try to find an active spot to feed my newly acquired Mantic obsession.

I've picked up some boxes of Elf and Undead.  Tabletop gaming is nonexistent where I live and my "local" game store (30 miles away) is mostly MTG with an occasional WarmaHordes scrimmage going on.  So, with 2 armies, I hope to get some other people started.

So far, 50 elves assembled (30ish remaining) and 30 undead assembled (60ish remaining).  Gonna airbrush the base colors, block in the rest, then dip and dullcote.

I live in Kentucky, about an hour SW of Louisville.
