Warpath

I have been looking at the Mantic stuff for ages now but never really got around to buying any of there stuff so last night I got hold of a copy of Warpath ‘Fate Of The Forgestar‘, popped the box open to find it full to the brim with plastic frames. After a sceptical look over them I have come to the conclusion that the Forge Fathers (Squats to all the wargamers of yester year, no offence) look very nice and despite not having a lot on the frame provide a lot of variety (bearded heads and so on).

Look everyone! Squats!

The Marauders (Space Orks) on the other hand are not much to shout about, I think this is because I have a certain snobbery on what an ork should look like (I sound like a right dick now!) the heads seem a bit wrong and the arms are more in proportion then most stuff from GW, also they have strange looking pebbles on some of the bases…now on to the bases, I have no idea what to make of these until I have painted them up and based them with sand but they are circular inserts on the foot of the model that is then glued into a much larger (chunky just like a Kitkat) outer bit, again I don’t know if this is just down to what I am use to and I am being a snob.

You do get quite a bit of resin stuff in the box as well, all of this looks great and will definitely make it on here when I get it glued together, so more on that later.

I quickly scanned the rules and they seem solid enough, easy to learn and fast paced, best on all you can download it for free on there website.
