Very nice!
With the upcoming new vehicles for Marauders and the new book release is it possible we see a bit of a resurgence for Firefight?
Summer of Sci-Fi this year apparently. Looking forward to it. Firefight is superb and just doesn’t have enough players yet.
Should see new marauder tanks and also nameless as a full firefight army!
Quite interested to see what we get for Nameless, but I must admit the firefight army I really want is Rebs, mantic’s best sci fi faction.
I’ve been charging through mantic sci fi for two months now, got Forgefathers, Marauders, Enforcers and Veermyn forces painted up. Moving to Plague and then finally Matsudan shortly. I think the sci fi range Mantic has is a lot stronger than most of their Fantasy range (though the fantasy range has good stuff in it too), or perhaps it’s just more to my taste. But it’s hard for any sci fi game to compete with the big elephant in the room.
Mantic also have the (very nice) problem of having another sci-fi IP that is about half their total sales. Whilst I think halo is definitely nett positive, it has meant less time spent promoting firefight.
Rebs would be excellent, but it could be really hard to do a plastic kit for them due to the number of alien races. I think firefight makes sense lore wise. Epic would be too large but firefight works I think.
