Mantic Games is a relatively young games and miniatures publisher, but they are growing rapidly. They produce games and miniatures in the 28mm scale, like Games Workshop, but for much, much less. They started out in fantasy, with Kings of War, but are also branching into sci-fi with Warpath.

Mantic Games have got several ex-GW people on their books, quite possibly disgruntled folks who want to shank their former employers in the stomach and twist really hard (and good luck to them!). Kings of War and Warpath heavily, HEAVILY rip right from Warhammer's aesthetic, (Mantic models actually look slightly different if you bother to compare them to GW models because A: they're truescale, B: the Dwarfs have giant heads, and C: if they got too close they'd be sued) almost looking to completely undercut the more expensive Citadel Miniatures. This allows people to play Warhammer with cheap non-GW models, which lets Mantic sell more stuff. Just as planned.

The rules for Kings of War and Warpath are quite basic and free from their website. Some people reckon they're too simplistic and lack the depth of Games Workshop games, others like the fact they're easy to pick up and don't require a Bible-sized rulebook. Either way, there seems to be no shortage of players signing up to the annual Kings of War tournament, though it should be noted that a good chunk of them (including mantic employers) were using GW models in said tournament, hilariously. It can be theorized that Mantic will expand their game once they reach some level of popularity, and like GW in the past reneg on the liberal use of their products. Time will tell...

On top of everything else they had the balls to make a futuristic sports game called DreadBall.

As of 2013 Mantic's work on Warpath and Kings of War has slowed, more so on the Warpath front. The big push for Dreadball thanks to Kickstarter has greatly changed the company's internal schedule, and as a result it's an important part of the company's product market. apperantly they have decided to make a Mars Attack kickstarter

they are super nice like i mean they put these mantic points in thier products and if you get enough mantic points you can mail them to mantic games to get stuff but the only good stuff are the group of 10 miniatures and that's only for some army's. they also have forums that admins regularly post on and they don't like it when you call GW the Evil Empire. after the deadzone kickstarter was done they sometimes recommended other kickstarters involving miniature's and they've backed reaper miniatures kickstarter. Super Nice guys.

Ronnie Renton CEO of Mantic Games, look at him, look how insane he is trying to overthrow GW maybe he'll succeed, maybe he'll fail, he's reached Board Games with dreadball and dwarf king's hold, there's some comics on ninjabread about mantic and MiniWarGaming once talked about how cheap their miniatures are.
