Mantic "corporation" plastic minis

[Steve F]

Mantic has photos up now, and the first advanced-order deals, for its future human faction, the Corporation.

Assuming those aren't renders, they are nicely done, though the design is a bit more primitive than I'd hoped for: squared-off armour with rivets (though the latter can be fixed with a quick knife-cut, I suppose), oversized guns, a cigar, a sword (one of my pet hates in SF, though I suppose you can wheel out the old Traveller explanation that swords are kept for boarding actions because you can't risk the damage caused by shooting inside a spaceship).

Worth a look, anyway.  It'll be interesting to compare Mantic's finished item with those from Defiance.

They look excellent!

[Conquistador]

To be honest, based on the two shown, I won't be rushing out to buy them.  Zip appeal to me despite the sculpting.

Gracias,

[Torben]

Those are excellent! At the very least they are not as "fantasy" as the Forgefathers and Orx; and if they're in the same pricerange as their other Warpath offerings, then I'm definately rushing out to buy some!

[FunkyBrush]

Best mantics so far. For once I'll buy some of them.

[Comsquare]

I like them.
Will for sure get the General, the guy with the cigar.
He has some different arm-options, so you don't have to use the sword

Will use him as some sort of Hardboiled Investigator/Mercenary.

Looking forward to the Veterans

Trooper looks great!  Very generic Sci-Fi.  Weapons could be a tad smaller but that's a major problem in just about any line these days.  Could do without the sword on the general as well.  I'm not completely against Swords in Sci-fi but I don't like the design of that one and I don't like to see them that often.  Perhaps in the hands of assassins and such. 

[Glitzer]

Looks to Games-Workshopy for me

[Agis]

..what I have seen so far from Mantic does not really "ring" to me.
More or less an uninspired GW clone.
The above sculpts look nice, but how many more Imperial Guard trooper do we really need?
 

[Cypher226]

Not too bad.. I wonder how the troopers would look with those cyber samurai heads I saw recently?

[Splod]

Hmm, not a big fan of the trooper... Those shoulder pads look naff, rifle is oversized and the helmet looks weird. But it could be ok with a bit of work.
Really like the first sculpt though. As for the sword, from the concept sketches isn't the right arm with the pistol the separate arm? Anyway, sword aside... I get a nice dark future vibe, I'm seeing him being used as a Shadowrun character.

The scout figures and heavy weapons teams look ok

[Sangennaru]

I like them. I don't know about the whole set, but it could be a valid choice for some kind of faction! cheaper than any other trooper, it could be used in many settings.

but i wouldn't make a whole army by them.

[TheMightyFlip]

I think a lot of people are missing a good role for these fella's, Rage/Borderlands future nazi's

[starkadder]

These figures are ok but a question keeps on nagging at me.

Why is the future (40K, Mantic etc etc) always fascist? Their spray on the Corporation is quite horrid. ("future Nazis", aarrggh)

If this is the future, it's going to be really boring.
