Shiny terrain crates of goodness

svboel

I’m looking forward too see Vanguard, but Damm neegan sounds like fun

gryphonheart

The scatter terrain is pretty nice. Had a few pieces from them as part of the Dungeon Siege KS.

daegren

Mantic is just pumping out all kinds of goodies. Terrain crates look fantastic.

lordbob

I still regret not taking part in the terrain crate kickstarter. This stuff would be useful in a lot of games.

bigdaddio

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. 🙂

aztecjaguar

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?

monkfish182

I hope so.

krylos45

Terrain crates look like they will be great to add to many dungeon games. Look forward to picking up some sets.

klorophil

Can’t wait to get my copy of Hellboy and this Terrain Crate would certainly come in handy. Nice work Mantic!

toricova

Man that terrain ser is huge!!would be great for a D&D game

hobbyhoo

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.

nogginthenog

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.

uezguersmaster

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.

monkfish182

Really looking forward to wave 5 of All out war.

midget

the terrain pieces are amazing!

rjstreet

Terrain Crate is a KS I really wish I’d gotten in on

pagan8th

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.

turbocooler

Still painting my first terrain crate and will be purchasing a second hopefully over the next month once I am done.

dorthonion

Ronnie is a star – great prize and a very clever set since is has generic possibilities across all 25/28mm ranges

battlehawk

Mantic always do great terrain pieces.

amachan

The terrain crates look awesome!

dodgyfarmer

Terrain just keeps getting better and better. It’s nice to not have to use books, bottle caps and Laphroaig tubes any more.

necrothrall

Do I buy terrain? or do I eat this month?

falcon86866

Mantic has really been turning out sweet stuff lately! So exciting!

inu53

Bring on vanguard! Also wow that terrain paints up real nice, very impressive actually.

tonka73

Mantic just get better and better …. Will be interested to see the new fantasy game

bloodwild

Vanguard sounds like a lot of fun. I need to pick up some Terrain Crate as well.

gollomdk

Oh My dnd group would love that terrin box

chambersofminiatures

Is the terrain pre-painted? Either way, it looks good.

filipeh

That Hellboy mini is fantastic.

nikkel

Very nice stuff

zorg

Who’s Negan I’m Negan, the scenery look’s great.

petey9

It’s been amazing to see how mantic has grown from one success to the next. Keep it up!

thorwodenssen

Great terrain features

Terrain crate, don’t mind if I do!

janus1004

Very usable terrain, would be great to have!

antiphony

Best interview ever!
Ronnie rocks

eldritch247

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 =)

dstinct

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.

bigbadbazz

Always worth watching Ronnie

golonka

Mantic really nailed it with Terrain Crates, suitable for so many different games.

tuffyears

nice catch

truthslayer

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

tchrin

Always love seeing the Mantic guys. Can’t wait to get my hands on Hellboy and those sexah sculpts!

dwarvakeen40

These terrain bits look so cool!!! shiny syndrome intensified!!!

sulphur

The crate idea is brilliant will have to have a proper look ?

trane13

Awesome!

phoen31

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

dathar

I love videos with Ronnie… one of the most entertaining guys in the business.

tachycardia

Been mirin the terrain crate stuff for a while. Looks good painted up in one of the project logs floating around on here.

stokeman

Terrain crate looks great. Very tempted to pick some up to go w/ my Hellboy pledge!

fierytitan

Great value in the terrain crate boxes

psychorabbit

Love Mantic Games, bring on the new stuff!

bloodpup

love the terrain crates guys.

ravingmad8

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.

rgreenparadox

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.

abu1

Mantics terrain is always good. I would have liked to see more about Dread Ball and Dead Zone.

shimond

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.

danamonsterzuul

Highly addicted to their Terrain Crates!

beardragon14

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.

lorddraconum

Nice shiny terrain great for a lot of different games. Mordheim comes to mind

postcardpaul

could use this set well in the 4ground watchtower it is very beautiful.

prototheca

They make nice terrain

wilco92

dafthelmet85

Ronnie is ace!

babone

Great pieces of terrain!

Sci-Fi terrain crates please! Amazing stuff!

turak

rastamann

It’s awesome these guys are still pumping out stuff

kadmon

Sounds good!

katana100

Vanguard is sounding more and more fun

cousins286

The voice has almost gone Ronnie, loving the terrain crates especially the library

apolonios

Awesome scatter terrain

sebahaus

I’m waiting for Hellboy game

jammyjim

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.

darkdanegan

Always great value from Ronnie – seeing the painted terrain crate stuff makes it very attractive indeed – might have to get me some of that…

hurrey

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

loyalskritna

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.

horus500

Very well done Mantic! Scenery that’s thematic, affordable and looks cool is a winner

yowombat

Ronnie is always entertaining. The new terrain looks great, would love to get my hands on some!

zoidpinhead

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.

kjelken

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.

lawnor

Those terrain crates do look really interesting

gobbo

I really wanted Hellboy, just cannot afford it right now. I would love that Library set!

hairybrains

looking forward to the hellboy stuff arriving

cbrenner

Love the Mantic stuff. Those terrain crates are excellent.

timhamill

Walking dead is a great game, looking forward to heres negan

puyzen

Really cool crates! Well done lads. Very useful stuff…

washkcmd

Love Kings of War, keep the stuff coming.

rum8le

After picking up some of these in the KS I love how they really add to the character of a setting.

petdrb

I received some of the terrain with the Dungeon Saga Kickstarter. It is very durable plastic with nice detail.

thepaintingbozo

You can never have enough terrain crate!

theamazingmrg

I’m currently trying to build my terrain collection. That would do nicely!

malsuir

got to love Mantic arrr terrain

sluggle

Like the terrain crates when they were on Kickstarter but didn’t have spare cash to back it 🙁

warbossd

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.

normandyfan

nice terrain

jmrecoil

The terrain crates from Mantic are DM’s dreams. I am loving them.

mordiano

Will be great to use for DnD or as scatter terrain.
Hopefully someone would do descent custom missions based on these sets.

albertsmiggins

That is a lovely set – can you ever have enough terrain

fettmonger

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.

paulvr

that’s some cool terrain!

crazycabo

That stuff looks great

dawfydd

Spiffy 🙂

bennu

Neegan sounds really fun – looking forward to that!

shadykx125

yea I would definitely use that stuff as scatter in a skirmish game

northernkeeper

Very excited to see the Vanguard game!

slien

Terrain Crate HYPE!!!

jockjay

Keep it up mantic

quixol

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

rayven

Always enjoy catching up with Ronnie! Looks like everyone is having fun!

jax78

Very interested in the Negan game. Loving All Out War already could be a cool crossover/ twist.

144artist

Vanguard does look fun but I can say I have loved all the Terrain Crate pieces I’ve picked up.

lostaris

Ronnie is always to enthusiastic

darthsarak

The All Out War expansion sounds like a lot of fun. Cooperative games with a single winner are so fun.

agashamirv

You can never have enough terrain.

eric522

Awesome looking terrain. Good range of different types.

tahatan

Mantic is still bringing the most affordable miniatures to the tabletop

paragon

That dungeon depths bundle seems like a screaming deal.

core

Dungeon crawler beautiful stuff! Never had enough!

blaeyn

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.

darthcheese

Paint the warpgate with a blue swirl rather than a purple one and you’ve got yourself a Stargate. Jaffa Kree!

davidfozmk

Just awesome!

thatcowboy

Negan!! Say no more.

clansmen

ronnie is just great

marktarver

Always love the enthusiasm from Ronnie.

bursoncarpathian

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.

yeti1016

These look nice

rael

I’m setting up a Dungeon Saga dungeon as we speak, would be great to win that set!

gideon7v20

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?

skeld1980

The terrain crates are fantastic, some of it only needs a dry brush and it’s good to go!

poppyappletree

I must admit I’ve never actually bought anything from Mantic. I hear they do good stuff though!

ghastly13

I really need to pick one of these up!

jkos

Love Ronnie, he is so fun and care free

redvers

A box of scatter terrain! What’s not to love?

coachjose59

THe terrain!! It hurts my wallet already!

innes

bloodbeard

Good interview, as I’m in to so much of the Mantic stuff.

The terrain crate stuff is great. Filling up fantasy boards quickly.

radegast6

walking dead is one of best games ever created, I love that game so much.

poentje

That would be realy nice to go with my Dungeon Saga games

senjimakoto

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.

dammitprawn

The terrain crate thingy is a damn good idea….I’m off to the website!

pojoh

Sweet dungeon depths goodness. Love how Mantic is bringing out these Dungeon dressings.

andrax

I was part of the Kickstarter, so I’m giving up a chance to win

duster

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 😉 )

hobbycave

Nice crate!

ugleb

I reckon that dungeon terrain would look pretty sweet on my Hellboy board….

jondaw

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.

jondaw

This crates could work work so well with a variety of systems

ntrabbit

Criminy, that’s a lot of terrain! I’ve got the field set with the walls and fences, it’s good stuff

spacewolflord

They are always seeming to be running around like mad men trying to do everything they can. I must say that Hellboy looks fun.

arkamuz

that is great to use for my rpg terrain

redsarge

Ronnie is one of the hardest working man in Tabletop biz, like James Brown. Wonder when we will see more Mars Attacks?

alin

Scatter terrain is must have.

cruciumgiger

The terrain crate stuff is a great idea
