They sure can draw pretty pictures

However when said pictures become 'real' minis is when things can go wrong...

Drako-chickens for the win!

I do like the base on that mini.

Thats it though, the rest sucks terribly.

Mantic have set out to create a powerful Dwarf range in a believable Sci-fi setting – and we are seriously excited by where the concept art got us to!

Looking around before we started we just felt the Dwarf race has never really been tackled in a comprehensive and meaningful way, with resonance to current sci-fi war-gamers. From the onset we intended to create a strong, credible archetype for the race in this new setting.

We started with the givens - Dwarfs have always been miners, so we took that concept out into space, and the future, and reflected it across the three levels of Dwarf society. Whilst there's a ruling class, the core focus is on hard-working, heavily armed and well-armoured rank and file units. These form the core of the Forge Father's army, well able to handle weapons (of varying size), well trained, and supported by some serious ordinance – creating a strong firepower led fighting force. Then at the bottom of society (think bare-chested scrap metal merchants!) are the successors to the Berserkers, who have their own unique and specialist role in the army.

Throughout the concepts you can see we've been working hard on the feel of the weapons and armour, giving the whole army a unique feel, and carving out a strong and unique presence.

Some OK-looking stuff, and some of the patented Mantic WTF-ery, to wit:

Bwu-huh? A half-track dog?

Love the half-track dog. If anything is going to give GW and PP the sh*ts it's a mechanical dog with caterpillar tracks.

Then there is the Humvee in the top left of the pic. Oh my, how original.

Not exactly confidence inspiring stuff.

Their pics of actual dwarf troops looked bloody nice though.
