Dawn also stopped in with from Mantic and had to talk to them about what's new when it comes to their worlds.
Of course we had to really get stuck into The Walking Dead and Mantic are going to be giving away a Walking Dead: All Out War set for you to win by commenting below.

Walkng Dead is one of those games I might be able to play at home with my wife, since it seems narrative, fun and includes zombies. 🙂
Just played the walking dead last night with my gaming group. Love it, loads of fun.
Zombies!!!!
Will have to check out walking dead and new star saga when it releases
Heard good things about this and the BoW Boot Camp weekend for it seemed to be a huge success.
I love the look of this game!
Such a fun looking game, I really need to give this a go sometime.
enjoy dungeon saga
look forward to seeing star saga played
Still undecided bout walking dead.
A free copy would go a long way to making me decided just saying….
miss the ks so let me win
Looks great!
TWD looks great
Dreadball is still my main game, really looking forwards to the 2nd Edition and hopefully it will pick up again (as things seem to have died down while everyone waits for the new rules).
Dreadball Extreme is also interesting, more choices
This is apparently surprisingly good, so would like to try it out.
Really wanting to get into this game! Looks great!
always like the look if this ans ha who doesnt likethe idea of walking dead
WD looks good.
Walking Dead is the one kickstarter i missed, now i’m sorry. But there is still Star Saga and Dreadball to come.
in fact i thought star saga was out rightnow! 🙂
Want Star Saga. Walking Dead could be fun too.
You gotta love all these zombie games!!…I do!
Not a fan of zombies BUT walking dead is a great game especially solo for a miniatures game. Really hoping Mantic fix the issues with Dungein Saga with Star Saga
The game works fine even without the zombies
Missed out on the KS – but Walking Dead has started to get a foothold in my FLGS. Sometimes you need a tactically astute game with a simpler ruleset!
Mantic has been on a roll lately.
Their games aren’t played locally but I still dip in their ranges once in a while as their kits are getting better and better. And their ‘multi-use’ approach is always a plus.
Always liked the Walking Dead minis and really would like to get the game.
They did a great job with WD, i am sad that i missed Kickstarter
Love the walking dead game – have watched the playthru’s now i just need to get a copy
I’d love to see more star saga stuff. Thanks for all of the great coverage. You guys make not being there a little less painfull.
This is a great game. I was lucky to win a copy on the boot camp shows. One of my favourites.
All out war is one of those games on my list to play
Since I haven’t bought this – I clearly don’t deserve to win 😉
Missed the Kickstarter for this. Would love to check it out!
My Fiance and I love the walking dead show. A miniatures game version of it sounds interesting.
They should make a series of different cards for rick, all with really bad dad jokes. StarSaga looks like fun, but I want more Dungeon Saga stuff too!
Great game picked it up at Salute
Missed the The Walking Dead All out War kickstarter. But was so impressed when I saw this at my FLGS, I ended up getting the Road to Woodbury Solo Play box, the Core startet box, two expansions, extra Zombies and two Neopren gamemats… all retail. Excellent quality – all one-piece, ready to play, straight out of the box zombie apocalypse entertainment.
Love Negan in this game, he hits so hard and feels like a true badass, really good to see more waves coming too for this
I have played WD with my gaming group – whose tastes vary when it comes to gaming preferences – and everyone liked it. Can’t be bad.
This is the game that could get my wife into wargaming.
Love the Walking Dead!
What could be more fun that shooting zombies on a nice sunny day? If the game supports solo play, I’d definitely give it a shot. (Pun intended)
Hadn’t heard anything about star saga until now.
Obviously impossible not to have heard of the walking dead at this point.
Thought it was a good game when on kickstarter, missed out.
Bought the game for family members they loved it too.
So what can you say about a great game and a great following of the series. GET THE GAME…
Zombies zombies and more zombies
Such a great game, but I dont own it myself. Tempted to get it though!
As I went all in ok Walking Dead and Terrain crate might be a while before I see something new from Mantic that I don’t already own or have on its way.
Walking Dead is one of the few Mantic games I don’t have. Yet.
Sounds like a game to checkout. How long does a typical game run?
I put off buying the core set when they were still doing the KS one… and I missed out lol.
Can’t wait till DreadBall 2 comes out.
Mantic always a good turn out, friend of mine has All out War only played it once cause he wants to paint them all now but loved it!!
Darn. Didn’t realise you could solo play this game. Would have picked it up earlier had I known.
Walking dead is a great game. Love the minis
I have friends who have asked me about the game cause I have a few minis painted up. I was gonna buy a starter box. Just saving the doe.
You boot camp on this made this game really shine. I need to get some of my terrain up and I could run all kinds of fun scenarios.
man flu i am the walking dead…..
The game that will keep me going with my walking dead fix when walking dead is off the air for good. LOL!
That said, I backed Star Saga so I hope it catches on as a game people want to play.
Zombies, gotta catch them all. Or something like that.
Man, walking dead makes such a great gateway game.
Yep, I also think it works that way
Been thinking of building a small board of modern terrain with the aim of being able to play several systems. BMG, TWD and some of the skirmish scale modern warfare stuff. I love that mantic has a bunch of MDF terrain on their webstore, they need to get more!!
Sounds interesting.
Hook me up!
Love walking dead and looking forward to getting star saga
Awesome prize
hmm, by the looks, it seems like it could be fun! 😛
Zombie brains!!
Star Saga looks interesting. Lots of RPG’s coming out at the moment and they all look rather good, might just have to get a group of friends together to play one of them.
so want to try the walking dead game. The local shop isnt interested in stacking it i am so bummed
Enjoyed a few seasons of the show, heard the game was pretty good.
I’m really wanting to get into this game. The minis look great and who doesn’t like zombies?
Walking Dead looked awesome on the bootcamp coverage, great to see it’s doing well.
Hunting zombies is a nice way of passing the time on a sunday afternoon. 🙂
Mantic does great stuff. I read they got their tooling sorted now for their new Warpath vehicles so hope to get them soon. Can’t wait to play a full game with vehicles.
Hmmmm not too sure about Star Saga, so many mistakes with Dungeon saga but saying that the Walking Dead looks soooo cool.
Walking Dead up there with one of the better games from last year.
Enjoying building my Veermyn tunnel runner at the moment, very cool
not got walking dead yet though…..
Aww, I really wanted to see the terrain crate 🙁
TWD All out war is ace. Can’t wait for Star Saga.
Maybe they can follow it with a Dead Saga?
More Dreadball please!
Everyone loves zombies right?
Can we get close-ups of the terrain crate stuff and the new Dreadball miniatures, please?
Walking Dead is crushing it! Nice interview Chopper
A Walking Dead set what nice prize.
star saga will be so cool, so eager to receive my copy in november
Nice set
TWD is awesome 🙂
Walking Dead.. it’s time for and sing with me “All out Waaaar!” XD
Beautiful!
I like very much Mantic games. I realy want to play walking dead game. I must win this set
Here is my comment… give me zombies
Really like the Walking Dead, really like the Warpath vehicles, really like the new character sculpts for the summer campaign… dangit Mantic!
Just started a WD campaign this week. This game properly caught me by suprise!
Mantic should look to making a movie to strengthen their own IP, because the game play and mechanics are solid.
The walking dead looked like a fun game in the bootcamp video’s
It’s a fun game and simple to pick up.
amazing yet another great prize
Looks ace!
I am a huge fan of the TV series of The Walking Dead, the game seems just as intriguing. I like the idea of games being developed around some of the newer IP’s like this which has such a rich background already. It makes it so much easier to immerse yourself in the world with such a complex background in place already. The challenge is always to do the series justice and create an interesting game without it being boring by sticking to the storyline, it seems that Mantic have managed to pull it off and it looks like a range that could grow quite a bit as well.
Fun games!
Mantic is cool!
I really like Mantic Products, can’t figure out why it doesn’t catch on in Hawaii.
I wne tin on almost every mantic kickstarter before this but never get to play their games. This interests me. is it the one I should have gotten and ignored the rest?
count me in, zombies rock.
Interesting show!
Walking dead plus the 4ground mall is my dream come true!
Need to check them out.
This was a great show!
These look great!
I’ve been in on this game since the kickstarter, where I went all-in. Still need this prize tho, so I can gift it to my little brother who lives too far away for me to bring my own game when I visit 😉
I love the look of this game! hope to win a prize
Walking dead series is awesome. Would love to have a bash at the miniature game.
Love Mantic’s products but they need to print more Adventurer’s Companions! I’ve been wanting a copy of this since the BoW coverage but it always seems to be out of stock.
Zombies, have not painted that in a wile , 15+ years of painting and I think only like 5-6 zombies total
Looks like a sweet ass game. Hope this game takes off.
Combining the comics with mini’s, can it get better?
This sure looks great!
A starter set would be great. I would like to get into this one.
Looking forward to Star Saga.
Mantic defo getting better
Amazing!
Walking Dead is a great work!
This stuff rox!
got people at my store hooked on the walking dead now have 8 dedicated people playing work some rpg in so people keep playing the same characters and makes it more fun wen one dies just like the tv show.
I have really been wanting to play this . I need to pick up a copy of it. The problem is that I say that about way too many games. This really does look seriously fun though.
I don’t have a zombie (walker) game in my collection. TWD looks a good option to fill that gap.
The basic mechanics are good, similar to the zombie supplement for Deadzone.
Walking dead seems to be doing well for them.. glad to hear.
This game kicks ass! I wish to try this game as im a big fan of the show. Shame that non of my local stores have one to try or even see minis :/
It can’t be too long off Star Saga being finished, I’m looking forward to my pledge appearing. Walking Dead looks a lot of fun.
Great to see Walking Dead being so successful in the US. Locally I’ve seen no one playing it, but maybe it’s one of those games people don’t take to the club or store but play it at home.
Still … regret…not … backing…
Nice one
The miniatures from star saga looked great as did the walking dead game.
I have All out War, but haven’t even broke the seal. Need to get that on the table.
Lol can’t believe he hadn’t read the rules yet.
Mantic’s new Infernal Riders looks pretty nice. And the Naiads on eels are cool too.
Love the Dungeon Saga banner in the background, been painting the Barbarian this evening, almost finished
is this true scale or more or less heroic scale?
