GENCON 2013 – Mantic, Privateer & Malifaux
Today we start it off with Mantic. They had a lot of cool new Dreadball stuff to show off.
There were also Basileans on display.
And of course there was this guy, from Mantic’s big announcement awhile back.
They didn’t have anything for Deadzone yet, with the exception of some of these early terrain tile samples. I think they’ll be pretty popular.
I stopped by the Mercs booth to see what new stuff they were showing off.
They also had some pics of prototypes from their highly successful Myth Kickstarter campaign.
Up next we have some shots of Ninja Division’s Robotech RPG Tactics.
And finally we’ve made it to the Privateer Press booth. Here is staff painter Matt diPietro looking a little odd under the harsh light of his painting lamp. But hey, look what he’s holding! It’s the Rhulic Colossal that was teased at Lock and Load.
Apparently this limited edition Butcher 3 was like a really big deal or something.
The new plastic champs looked really sweet in person. They’re so much bigger than my old metal ones.
And the Warders.
Here’s the 2013 limited edition mini, the Steelsoul Keg Protector.
Rathluk, the Tinker and Eiryss 3.
Some of the limited edition lesser warcasters were in attendance.
Here are some of those Silver Line StormGuard.
This was the first time anyone got to see the Optifex Directive.
And man look at the P3 Masters winning entry. I think it’s Marike Reimer based on the style. Also I know she was there. But don’t quote me.
Up next was Wargames Factory who had some cool Eisenkern Troopers to show off.
And a cool painted Leviathan.
And another one.
Including cases full of unpainted plastics new and old.
I got to take some of the newer plastics out of the case for close-ups.
The detail was extremely impressive to say the least.
I haven’t actually played any Malifaux since it went to plastic, and with the new 2E rules out I may have to do something about that.
