Hello all
For a while now I've been a huge fan of the Mantic miniatures range. Both in cost and appearance. The sheer amount of miniatures you can get for £100.
So what Im starting with.
3 x Boxes of Fate of the Forgestar. Which is 3 x the amount below in red
10 x Plastic Forge Father Steel Warriors
5 x Plastic Resin Forge Fathers with Heavy Weapons
1 x Plastic Resin Jotunn Heavy Hailstorm Cannons
30 x Plastic Marauder Grunts
10 x Plastic Marauder Rifle-Grunts with Heavy Weapons
1 x Plastic Resin Marauder Attacksters
5 x free extra Steel Warriors
1 x mail order for some individual pieces (yes you can order Bits!!!!!, What a fantastic company) which included some heads, torsos, Guns and Rocket launchers.
So the plan.....
This is two fold
First, to get a painted army ready for the Mantic Tournament.
Second, to get a 40k Space Marine army at a fraction of the cost!!!!!
The Story so far...........

BTW... I discovered to my cost near the end of the last game that if a unit is ON an objective it CANNOT be disputed. It's not enough to just be within 3" of it. If I'd realised that I would have played objective games very differently and maybe even changed my army choices.
WHAT!!!!!!!!!! Oh hell that would have made a bloody massive difference to two of the games I played!!!!!!!!! |

Back from the eye of the storm and had to say, what a weekend!!!!!!!
What was Hot!
The people, who were all friendly,
Meeting the Boss, who was friendly and down to earth,
Meeting Alessio who had time to listen to your thoughts, whoever you were,
Playing Project Pandora!!!! Just epic,
Playing 6 games of Kings of War, a fast and brutal game,
The staff at Maelstrom Games,
The venue,
Playing the 3 up version of Dwarf kings hold,
Seeing some well painted armys
The Lass behind the bar who did an epic job of serving 30 odd very thirsty Wargammers.
Tim and Chris, Great organisers.
Getting to go 1st at least once¬!!!!
Our names will be in the New rule book!!!!!!
The Evil Spaniard award,
All 6 of my opponents.
What was not
Mantic staff coming in the top 3 (2 with total cheese lists, not the Ork one), new challenge, to topple these guys!
The drive back home (through centre of Birmingham)
Craig sleeping in his car due to a friend letting him down!
Cannon actually hitting, not fun being on the receiving end of that!
A banner Bearer who just wouldnt DIE!!!!!!! even with 14 wounds!!!!!
Ok so it was in the brief to try and break the game, but surely if you work at Mantic you just point these things out to Alessio before hand....... Doh..
