Shiny terrain crates of goodness
I’m looking forward too see Vanguard, but Damm neegan sounds like fun
The scatter terrain is pretty nice. Had a few pieces from them as part of the Dungeon Siege KS.
Mantic is just pumping out all kinds of goodies. Terrain crates look fantastic.
I still regret not taking part in the terrain crate kickstarter. This stuff would be useful in a lot of games.
Who couldn’t use more scatter terrain? I only play a few tabletop miniatures games anymore (mostly board games now) but even I want more scatter terrain. 🙂
I like all the Terrain Crate stuff – except the medieval torture chamber – I am much too squeamish for all that weird stuff! Will mantis be doing a modern day / zombie apocalypse terrain crate range?
I hope so.
Terrain crates look like they will be great to add to many dungeon games. Look forward to picking up some sets.
Can’t wait to get my copy of Hellboy and this Terrain Crate would certainly come in handy. Nice work Mantic!
Man that terrain ser is huge!!would be great for a D&D game
I am so happy that I was able to get in on the Terrain Crate campaign! The pieces are awesome and even better quality than I expected.
Vanguard was the first kickstarter I have ever got involved with. Technically, I did th elate backer thing and only ordered that huge Giant, but still. The terrain is excellent.
Dungeon Depths!!! Cool!
I got the battlefield crate and I love it. Can’t wait for Vanguard to arrive and try all the terrain out properly.
Really looking forward to wave 5 of All out war.
the terrain pieces are amazing!
Terrain Crate is a KS I really wish I’d gotten in on
I was very close to backing Vanguard for the Objective Markers and own some terrain courtesy of Star Saga and Dungeon Saga, but there is always room for more terrain.
Still painting my first terrain crate and will be purchasing a second hopefully over the next month once I am done.
Ronnie is a star – great prize and a very clever set since is has generic possibilities across all 25/28mm ranges
Mantic always do great terrain pieces.
The terrain crates look awesome!
Terrain just keeps getting better and better. It’s nice to not have to use books, bottle caps and Laphroaig tubes any more.
Do I buy terrain? or do I eat this month?
Mantic has really been turning out sweet stuff lately! So exciting!
Bring on vanguard! Also wow that terrain paints up real nice, very impressive actually.
Mantic just get better and better …. Will be interested to see the new fantasy game
Vanguard sounds like a lot of fun. I need to pick up some Terrain Crate as well.
Oh My dnd group would love that terrin box
Is the terrain pre-painted? Either way, it looks good.
That Hellboy mini is fantastic.
Very nice stuff
Who’s Negan I’m Negan, the scenery look’s great.
It’s been amazing to see how mantic has grown from one success to the next. Keep it up!
Great terrain features
Terrain crate, don’t mind if I do!
Very usable terrain, would be great to have!
Best interview ever!
Ronnie rocks
Mantic are just a great bunch and their stuff has been getting so much better these last years. Can’t wait to see what else they bring to the hobby =)
Was going to back the KS for the terrain, but I couldn’t afford it. Always good to have scatter terrain. Local store should be getting it in.
Always worth watching Ronnie
Mantic really nailed it with Terrain Crates, suitable for so many different games.
nice catch
As someone who has Dungeon Saga and the dungeon tarrain crate stuff the Tarrain crate stuff is a nice improvement over the dungeon saga stuff especially the loot just adds a lot to games
Always love seeing the Mantic guys. Can’t wait to get my hands on Hellboy and those sexah sculpts!
These terrain bits look so cool!!! shiny syndrome intensified!!!
The crate idea is brilliant will have to have a proper look ?
Awesome!
Every time you guys talk to Ronnie I think I’d like to have a sit down in a bar somewhere and just listen to him talk about the latest and greatest
I love videos with Ronnie… one of the most entertaining guys in the business.
Been mirin the terrain crate stuff for a while. Looks good painted up in one of the project logs floating around on here.
Terrain crate looks great. Very tempted to pick some up to go w/ my Hellboy pledge!
Great value in the terrain crate boxes
Love Mantic Games, bring on the new stuff!
love the terrain crates guys.
Great prize Ronnie! I really want to get my hands on those terrain crates. I want to use them in my Frostgrave games to fill in the city a little more.
I love Terrain Crate. Having focused scatter terrain and room sets help theme a game so quickly. Best idea I have heard in a long long time.
Mantics terrain is always good. I would have liked to see more about Dread Ball and Dead Zone.
Great range of terrain, the market really needed something like this. It’s interesting to see more and more miniature games marketed as board games, everything in a box, strong IPs, popular format.
Highly addicted to their Terrain Crates!
Really looking forward to Vangard. I got some stuff through the kickstarter terrain and it was so good i ordered another box of dungeon scatter so i could use the barrels , boxes and barracades in WWX as well as vangard. Mantic keep getting better and better.
Nice shiny terrain great for a lot of different games. Mordheim comes to mind
could use this set well in the 4ground watchtower it is very beautiful.
They make nice terrain
some of the best scatter about
Ronnie is ace!
Great pieces of terrain!
Sci-Fi terrain crates please! Amazing stuff!
But I want to be Negan.
It’s awesome these guys are still pumping out stuff
Sounds good!
Vanguard is sounding more and more fun
The voice has almost gone Ronnie, loving the terrain crates especially the library
Awesome scatter terrain
I’m waiting for Hellboy game
Not a huge fan of mantic (I paint more than game and was really disappointed by the dreadball minis) but those terrain crates look great. Instantly add atmosphere and charm to a dungeon or battlefield. Well done mantic.
Always great value from Ronnie – seeing the painted terrain crate stuff makes it very attractive indeed – might have to get me some of that…
The terrain crate contents look really amazing when painted up. I wasn’t sold on them before, am now. Checking out the star ship terain set
For the terrain, i just want to say it’s so cool to have this kind of product available now. So much simpler to make a cool looking tabletop.
As for Negan, if you read TWD you just want this, for reasons.
Very well done Mantic! Scenery that’s thematic, affordable and looks cool is a winner
Ronnie is always entertaining. The new terrain looks great, would love to get my hands on some!
Vanguard sounds cool. I’m not running a small scale fantasy game yet so perhaps this will be the one. The prize is a superstar. Well done Mantic. Hope the show goes well.
I have a really hard time picking my favourite Mantic product. I’m very much looking forward to The Walking Dead on a larger scale.
Those terrain crates do look really interesting
I really wanted Hellboy, just cannot afford it right now. I would love that Library set!
looking forward to the hellboy stuff arriving
Love the Mantic stuff. Those terrain crates are excellent.
Walking dead is a great game, looking forward to heres negan
Really cool crates! Well done lads. Very useful stuff…
Love Kings of War, keep the stuff coming.
After picking up some of these in the KS I love how they really add to the character of a setting.
I received some of the terrain with the Dungeon Saga Kickstarter. It is very durable plastic with nice detail.
You can never have enough terrain crate!
I’m currently trying to build my terrain collection. That would do nicely!
got to love Mantic arrr terrain
Like the terrain crates when they were on Kickstarter but didn’t have spare cash to back it 🙁
I have so much of this stuff for my Dungeon Saga layouts. It’s true that frankly you can never have too much of it, it is sooooooo useful.
nice terrain
The terrain crates from Mantic are DM’s dreams. I am loving them.
Will be great to use for DnD or as scatter terrain.
Hopefully someone would do descent custom missions based on these sets.
That is a lovely set – can you ever have enough terrain
I wish they would show more love to Star Saga. They’ve got a great game there but don’t seem to talk about it at all.
that’s some cool terrain!
That stuff looks great
Spiffy 🙂
Neegan sounds really fun – looking forward to that!
yea I would definitely use that stuff as scatter in a skirmish game
Very excited to see the Vanguard game!
Terrain Crate HYPE!!!
Keep it up mantic
Fantastic terrain – I have dungeon Saga and my daughter was very happy to see this terrain. Win or lose, I will have to get some terrain. Great stuff
Always enjoy catching up with Ronnie! Looks like everyone is having fun!
Very interested in the Negan game. Loving All Out War already could be a cool crossover/ twist.
Vanguard does look fun but I can say I have loved all the Terrain Crate pieces I’ve picked up.
Ronnie is always to enthusiastic
The All Out War expansion sounds like a lot of fun. Cooperative games with a single winner are so fun.
You can never have enough terrain.
Awesome looking terrain. Good range of different types.
Mantic is still bringing the most affordable miniatures to the tabletop
That dungeon depths bundle seems like a screaming deal.
Dungeon crawler beautiful stuff! Never had enough!
With everyone commenting on the lovely terrain (I can’t wait for Vanguard to darken my doorstep), I guess I’ll comment on Ronnie’s new (since the last time I talked to him at Mantic Night at Adepticon in March) haircut and shorter beard. Looks good and I always enjoy talking to him in person. It makes the Mantic games much more accessible when the muckety-mucks descend from their ivory towers and shake hands with the little people. Something a certain 800 pound gorilla is just learning.
Paint the warpgate with a blue swirl rather than a purple one and you’ve got yourself a Stargate. Jaffa Kree!
Just awesome!
Negan!! Say no more.
ronnie is just great
Always love the enthusiasm from Ronnie.
Their terrain is so cool and affordable, i love it.
But i’m thinking about jumping into one of their games lately, just couldn’t decide which one yet.
These look nice
I’m setting up a Dungeon Saga dungeon as we speak, would be great to win that set!
What I love about Mantic. Affordability, different game levels in a single universe rom skirmish upwards, lots of factions to choose from, nice terrain at a nice price and good customer service from a UK based company. What is not to like?
The terrain crates are fantastic, some of it only needs a dry brush and it’s good to go!
I must admit I’ve never actually bought anything from Mantic. I hear they do good stuff though!
I really need to pick one of these up!
Love Ronnie, he is so fun and care free
A box of scatter terrain! What’s not to love?
THe terrain!! It hurts my wallet already!
Neegan sounds good. Always fun to backstab your mates!
the crates are awesome, may be i need some for HELLBOY
very useful terrain
Just starting playing The walking dead all out war and it a blast it. Thanks Mantic
those terrain crates are a super idea
Those terrain pieces look awesome!
Mantic makes great stuff.
Love the terrain crate models.
I didn’t see anything for warpath. Hope they make more for that.
Can’t wait for Here’s Negan, and the Terrain Crates are an awesome idea!
Good interview, as I’m in to so much of the Mantic stuff.
Very interested two see where The Walking Dead will go after Wave 5 and Here’s Negan. Really looking forward to seeing the Whisperers done.
The terrain crate stuff is great. Filling up fantasy boards quickly.
Great stuff!!
I love when Ronnie looses it :-). I’m looking foreward to seing all the new The Walking Dead stuff.It sounds so promissing.The Terrain Crates are not bad either!!
neagan game is very tempting. Love their mini’s for walking dead.
There terrain great stuff looks awesome. Oh all the wonderful things that could be done with it!
I really need these!!
Yay more Mantic toys to buy… oh and even more to paint. Roll on Vanguard.
walking dead is one of best games ever created, I love that game so much.
That would be realy nice to go with my Dungeon Saga games
Mantic is killing it with their IPs lately. The Hellboy miniatures that were on display looked gorgeous, like they were straight off the comic pages.
The terrain crate thingy is a damn good idea….I’m off to the website!
Sweet dungeon depths goodness. Love how Mantic is bringing out these Dungeon dressings.
I was part of the Kickstarter, so I’m giving up a chance to win
Got my KS last week and i really love it.
I’ll be watching that Negan game, it sounds really interesting!
I’m also looking forward to getting my Vanguard KS and find another use for my Terrain Crate scatter terrain (aside from Frostgrave 😉 )
Nice crate!
I reckon that dungeon terrain would look pretty sweet on my Hellboy board….
They’ve got it spot on with those terrain crates. Great resource for a variety of games and systems.
Pretty impressive looking sets, and a very impressive give away.
This crates could work work so well with a variety of systems
Mantic has been really busy over the last year.
Great to hear from Ronnie again, although I would have liked to know more about Deadzone.
The terrain crates are actually pretty good.
These look awesome, would love a terrain set!
Like others, I regret not getting in on the KS for the terrain crates. Can always use more terrain.
I’m literally in this video demoing and I never even knew Sam was there! LOL
Criminy, that’s a lot of terrain! I’ve got the field set with the walls and fences, it’s good stuff
They are always seeming to be running around like mad men trying to do everything they can. I must say that Hellboy looks fun.
that is great to use for my rpg terrain
Ronnie is one of the hardest working man in Tabletop biz, like James Brown. Wonder when we will see more Mars Attacks?
Scatter terrain is must have.
The terrain crate stuff is a great idea
As always Mantic is not disappointing with the amount of shiny goodness 🙂
Those terrain crates are awesome. Don’t you just love Mantic?
Nice.
can’t wait to get my hands on my copy of Hellboy
Ronnie is such a great guy. He was very welcoming to me and my friends when we visited Mantic games!
Just received my battlefield terrain crate. The Dungeon stuff looks great also.
This looks good
That terrain crate looks lovely. Need a sci fi one now…..
Looks like a fun game!
This is good stuff
Mantic products are good
Ronnie is such a great chap! Always smiling! 🙂
Nice to hear again about mantic, hellboy and aow and all other stuff, now we have a properly way to customicze our dungeon delving games with such scenery bits, nice job mates.
these all look good
great looking models
I can’t wait to get my Hellboy Kickstarter! That terrain looks amazing!
I love these concepts
I need to start painting my Walking Dead stuff ^^
Terrain crate would be great for so many games
