Have a look here:
http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/warpath/gcps.html
Check out the Mule and the Hornet, now available for pre-order.
I think they look ace. New plastic kits at about half the price of GW. Nice job, Mantic.
-
The Hornet certainly looks interesting, but I want to see more of the Mule.
-
They do look very tempting and are fairly generic.
-
The strider looks very useful
-
I think I could even use the Mule as Megacity One civilian SUV. Just leave the weapons off.

Do it!
-
Hornet drop ship looks useful too.
Does anyone know how the figures scale in with the likes of Copplestone?
-
Three Hornet dropships for £69.99 with detachable transport compartments with opening doors is a strong argument to undust Starship Troopers...
-
Do it!
I could even write ‘Big Hummer’ on the side! ;)

I don't have any of the Corporation troops, but the Mantic figures I do have are slighter, less Chunky than Copplestone or GW, but a fairly decent height match.
-
Size wise, the figures are fine and fit in with pretty much everything out there at the moment. The one I measured was 28mm to the eyes, so just over 30mm to top of head.
Be careful to stick to ones that say "hard plastic". The original corporation troops were a really bad restic - the sort where you have to slice off the mold lines as filing them just makes them furry. The rebels (http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/deadzone/rebs.html) in their Deadzone range have some nice aliens, but are restic and painful to clean.
Definitely tempted by the Mule and the Hornet.

Am I the only one who cannot see the attached pics?? :'(

Re: Cleaning Restic
Use a brass brush to remove the 'furry' restic (I have some meant for working with leather, appr. toothbrush-sized) - it works magic.

Is that the same for the vehicles?

I feel as if I should've gotten some of those. :D

I'm not certain there were any as the opening post says "have a look here" and provides a link.
Assuming these images work, here's for everyone's viewing pleasure:

Yeah, I used the link, I just assumed that the photobucket restricted images were examples.
-
Yeah, sorry Argonor, the dead Photobucket links used to be my signature, I just keep forgetting to take them out.

Why not just fix the links instead?

Not a fan of the box on the flyer and I'd like to see the mule with some figures. Certainly cheap enough.
-
yes would need a decent size comparison before I would get involved

Can't be bothered mate. :)

The dropship/transport is nice, and with the detachable container, it looks like it could be used for a whole range of things.
But what really stands out, is the vehicle. I can see myself getting a couple of those, even if it's just as generic scifi terrain pieces. They would be perfect for Infinity or cyberpunk. Just imagine those with a built up cab instead of a flatbed, painted in delivery van colours... 8)
