Mantic Games Skeletons vs Games Workshop Skeletons

on
Opening and taking a look inside the Undead Army box set from Mantic Games for their Kings of War game.



Pros of Mantic Games version:

  • Sturdy and easy to assemble. 2 or 3 pieces as opposed to the pain in the butt it is to assemble a tiny tiny 6 piece GW skeleton

  • Thick heavy bases so mini's doesn't fall over easy

  • Good price for the amount of figures. While not as detailed you get a ton of stuff in the undead army box


Cons of Mantic Games version:

  • May not be enough of the same type of weapons to make a full regiment for Warhammer Fantasy rules (all spears, or all hand weapons etc etc)

  • Detail not as sharp

  • GW Skeletons allow you to customize every part of the pose from arms, heads, legs to waist

    I think they look fine side by side so buy a bit of both for variety :)

    Nice pics, thanks for sharing. I was wondering how they compared on close inspection, it seems they stand up quite well. I'm thinking front rank command as GW skellies and rear ranks as Mantic.

    Do you have any more Mantic close ups ?
