Mantic Dwarf Miners

Miners are converted from Mantic Dwarf IronClads and Shieldbreakers. Painted to match the rest of Dwarf Army.

Those Dwarfs have pick-hammers and are able to be fielded as both: Miners with filler and Hammerers (Shieldbreakers) with filler swapped with 5 Shieldbreakers I've painted. Check them HERE..

The wolf is supposed to be a Giant Husky Sled Dog, which are second best friends to Dwarfs (well Mastiffs are their first best friends of course). Next project would be Dwarf Cavalry on Husky Dogs also with filler!

Revenants arrived!

I've just bought Mhorgoths's Revenge so my Undead Elite Revenant Army will be ready soon.

More Revenants soon to come.

I'm going to buy one more old Kings of War Battleset to get 20 more Revenants tomorrow to build my Revenant Horde for Undead Elite Army (40 models). I've decided to get the whole battleset to get 20 more skeletons (to switch armored bodies so my Revenants will look really armored).

Buying The Mhorgoth’s Revenge Fantasy Battleset will bring me some Zombies and Ghouls and also some Dwarves for a really good price.

I'd like to get new rules (they are free in the new battleset), but it might be better idea to get them with some Mega-armies sets.

Revenant Cavalry Regiment Review

Recently I've bought 2 Revenant Cavalry Regiments to make two units of 10 Revenant Knights in my Elite Undead Army. I'm impresed with quality of those models. Plastic-resin is really good material for miniatures. I wish Mantic produce all it's minis made of that material. It's light and very hard (harder than GW's finecasts or even Mantic plastics). I'm really exited about this units but I want to wait for some army upgrades from Mantic Skeleton Box to finish this units.
So here is what we have inside Revenant Cavalry Regiment Box:

- 9 Revenat Heads (2 different sculpts)
- 9 Revenat Arms with Lance (2 different sculpts, those same a little bit bended, but you can drown them in hot water and make them straight with ease)
- 9 Revenat Arms with Shield (2 different sculpts)
- 9 Revenat Bodies (2 different sculpts)
- 1 Musican Arm with Horn
- 1 Banner Arm
- 1 Revenant Champion Head
- 1 Revenant Champion Sword Arm
- 1 Revenant Champion Body (This are torso, legs, and arm with shield connected into one piece)
- 10 Horses (2 different sculpts, each is made from 2 parts)
- 10 Horse Bases (small bases, you glue horses to them and than to normal bases, they have some sculpted stuff like bones and rocks)
- 10 Cavalry Bases (2" x 1")



When I finish gluing them I'll post some scale comparison picture.

Revenant Cavalry have arrived!

I've just bought Revenant Cavalry Horde (well not exactly horde but 2 regiments, as horde is only available by buying directly from Mantic) for my Revenant Army List. I'm going to paint them in black and red color scheme. Can't wait to get Orcs and face them with my Undead.

Kings of War Orclings Profile

Those are really funny minis. Hope to gather a lot of after buying Mantic Orcs.

I'm about to use following rules for this unit. This was not yet used in any battle. Any suggestions are welcome.

ORCLING BAND                        COST: 30 PTS
Type      Sp Me Ra De At Ne
Inf (2)    5 5+ 6+ 3+  6  1
Special: Small, Throwing Weapons

ORCLING WARBAND                     COST: 50 PTS
Type      Sp Me Ra De At Ne
Inf (4)    5 5+ 6+ 3+ 6  3
Special: Small, Throwing Weapons

ORCLING HORDE                       COST: 90 PTS
Type      Sp Me Ra De At Ne
Inf (8)    5 5+ 6+ 3+ 12 6
Special: Small, Throwing Weapons

NEW SPECIAL RULES

Small
Those creatures are small and dodgy. That makes them very uncomfortable targets.
Any shooting at this unit is made with -1 to hit. This unit does not block line of sight, and any unit without small special rule can shoot over it. Small units are not allowed to shoot over other small unit.

With Small and Throwing Weapons special rules this unit can be very annoying. In my imagination this unit is not good at fighting at all. Well, they can disturb with throwing weapons, but not to much. I wanted to keep this unit cheap but not very good at fighting and that's a result.

Please tell me what do you think about this unit in a comment section.

My Mantic Orc Army

Hi again,
Here's a list of my Mantic Orc Army. This army won't get any bigger (well maybe when Mantic realise new units like Orcs with bows or those Gore Chariots, then I'll definitely buy some).

MANTIC ORC ARMY
1 Krudger on Gore
1 Krudger
1 Flagger
1 Shaman

30 Orc Ax
30 Orc Ax

20 Orc GreatAx
20 Orc GreatAx

20 Orc MorAx
20 Orc MorAx

10 Gore Riders
10 Gore Riders

Lots of Orclings

I think this would be over 1600 points of army. With chariots and wagons it would be about 2000pts which is enough for me. It would be plenty of minis to paint. I'll buy this army at the end of this month.

Elite Undead Army

I'm going to gather 1000 point of Mantic Undead army. This would be composed only from Revenants. I'm going to color them in very dark tones but with bleached bones to make them pop out of dark clothes. Revenant Cavalry is really a hard hitting unit and with shambling and healing they can be real pain for enemy. This army list has to much heroes but this is because I want to have a choice how to lead them in battles.

REVENANT UNDEAD ARMY
Revenant King 120
Revenant Standard 25
Liche Kings 180
Liche Kings 180
10 Revenant Cavalry (banner, musician) 185
10 Revenant Cavalry (banner, musician) 185
40 Revenant Horde (banner, musician) 235

So what do I start with? I'm going to buy Cavalry than Revenants and Skeletons boxes and make that body swaps so Foot Revenants would get only armored legs.
Then from spares I'll make some Individuals.

Mantic Dwarf Ironguard Regiment with Filler and Mastiff

Those Ironguards are defending their Runestone! This unit is equipped with the best armor and weapon. Their armored Mastiff will find any sneaky goblin trying to stab them in the back.

Mantic Dwarf Ironclad Regiment with Filler and Mastiff

I like this unit very much.

Mantic Ironwatch with Rifles

Excellent shooting unit. Their firepower is enough to kill armored units of Undead or Orcs.

Mantic Ironwatch with Crossbows

Good shooting unit which can be connected with Shieldbreakers to create Rangera.

Mantic Dwarf Shieldbreakers

A small troop of shieldbreaker. Excellent for flanking enemy troops or just to give cover to other units.

Mantic Dwarf Warmachines

I didn't glue the cannon nor organ gun so you can swap those before each battle.

Mantic Dwarf Warsmith

Converted from Ironclad Mini.

Mantic Dwarf King

Converted from Ironclad Mini.

Kings of War Dwarf Rangers Profile

There is no official rules for Dwarf Rangers a Hybrid of Ironwatch with Crossbows and Shieldbreakers. Lets take a closer look at this unit.

I suggest to use following rules for this unit.

RANGERS TROOP                       COST: 50 PTS
Type      Sp Me Ra De At Ne
Inf (5)    4 4+ 5+ 4+  5  2
Special: Headstrong, Crushing Strength (1), Crossbow, Ranger
Can have banner (+10 pts), musician (+5 pts)

RANGERS HALF-REGIMENT               COST: 90 PTS
Type      Sp Me Ra De At Ne
Inf (10)   4 4+ 5+ 4+ 10  3
Special: Headstrong, Crushing Strength (1), Crossbow, Ranger
Can have banner (+15 pts), musician (+10 pts)

RANGERS REGIMENT                    COST: 170 PTS
Type      Sp Me Ra De At Ne
Inf (20)   4 4+ 5+ 4+ 10  6
Special: Headstrong, Crushing Strength (1), Crossbow, Ranger
Can have banner (+20 pts), musician (+15 pts)

NEW SPECIAL RULES

Ranger
After deployment but before battle beginning a unit with this special rule can take one extra move phase (and only move phase). This can be At the Double! but it cannot be Charge! move. If both sides have rangers, both players roll dice. Whoever gets lower score, moves his rangers first.

This unit is very good at both shooting and fighting in close combat. With extra movement it can get in shooting range and into close combat very fast. To avoid seeing dwarf armies formed up entirely of ranger I've decided to make them quite expensive in points.

Please tell me what do you think about this unit in a comments.

Mantic Dwarf Army

Here's a picture of Mantic Dwarf Army I made for a customer. All minis come from Mhorgoth's Revenge Fantasy Battleset. I'm in order to contine making units for this army so soon you will see much more Mantic Dwarves painted to the highest standard.
