Remember me
All eight factions in Mantic’s Epic scale Warpath are getting new superheavy units.
Mantic Game’s epic scale version of their sci-fi hit Warpath continues to fire on all cylinders. Since its full release earlier this year, the game has grown quickly, and this week a set of new superheavy models is coming to every army in the game. The scale is tiny, but these eight engines of war are mighty. All of these new models are now available for pre-order.
Plague Battle Mech
The Plague haven’t missed a trick when it comes to corrupting and appropriating the weapons of their enemies. Their new Battle Mech is armed to the teeth with an array of weaponry, allowing it to excel as a versatile multirole support platform. It does best at range, and can really bring the pain to heavy units with its missile array, but it’s no slouch in close combat thanks to its sustained Attack Aura.
Maul Battleship
The Maul-class battleship is an imposing sight above the worlds subjugated by the GCPS. Bristling with cannons and held aloft by anti-gravity engines, it’s a mobile beachhead with tremendous flexibility in choosing targets and doubles as a limited transport. Even better, the Maul can even regenerate damage and will take some serious firepower to disable or destroy.
Kymera Gunship
A Superheavy flyer, the Kymera is brutal support platform with serious transport capabilities. The mercenary hordes of the Marauders can draw upon some surprisingly advanced tech built for their ancestors in the distant past and this is a formidable example. It can even utilize the Orbital Deployment ability to drop right onto an objective and disembark its troop compartments!
Maven IV Command Tank
A mobile command center for the GCPS’s elite Enforcers, the Maven IV can be found wherever the fighting is fiercest. Armed with anti-infantry weaponry, it’s not a main battle tank but instead offers an enormous command radius and twocommand dice allowing it to exert influence widely across the battlefield.
Nidavellir Drop-Fortress
The Forge Fathers are not known for their subtlety and the Drop-Fortress perfectly exemplfies their straightforward (some would say brutal) approach to combat. Dropped from low-orbit right onto the battlefield, this hulking fortification’s armor opens to reveal numerous weapons and repair bays. It’s a forward operating base, command and control hub, and repair depot all at once.
Aedis Clade Warden
The Clades of the Asterians are masterful warriors and even more brilliant technologists. The Aedis Clade Warden is the pinnacle of their craft, a graceful and lethal construct that pushes the limits of their genius. A triad of veteran pilots use their gestalt mind to control the Warden’s multiple limbs and weapons with startling precision.
Psychomolsc
Not gonna lie, this is my favorite model in this batch. Who doesn’t love a psychic space ammonite the size of a high school? A Super Heavy Flyer for the Nameless, the Pschomolsc also has limited capability as a transport. It’s also no slouch when it comes to shooting with eight AP 2 dice!
The Great Underminer
The Verr-myn are nothing if not predictable. Even space-rats like to burrow and this enormous, retrofitted boring machine lets them chew their way to wherever they want to be. Naturally, you can deploy it pretty much anywhere you like using its Subterranean Deployment ability but it comes with a twist. Where you normally have to declare which of your models a transport has embarked upon it before the game starts, the Underminer lets you bring any models in reserve through the hole it bored. Nasty!
