| KOW: Dwarf Army Set (72)
$79.99 SRP SDI
Dwarfs dwell in great halls under the earth, having carved out a subterranean empire beneath the feet of the surface peoples. They are unyielding in all matters, whether in business or war, and they excel at both.
They march to battle in solid ranks, their shields forming an immovable bulwark against enemy attack. They are supported by ranged fire from both the Ironwatch, with their crossbows and rifles, and the impressive war machines that accompany them to the field of war. Riding ahead of the main advance, Brock Riders, spur their fearsome mounts onwards to outflank the enemy and bring about their downfall.

Galactic Strike Force
$39.95
Galactic Strike Force is a cooperative, tactical, deck-building game in which two to six players each take control of a ship and a crew in defense of the galaxy! Dangerous opposition forces threaten to overrun the entire galaxy, and the players must not only build up their ships, but also work together tactically to stop them!
However, this Strike Force is not made up of stalwart defenders, space cops or Volnethian Guardians. In Galactic Strike Force, you play as scoundrels, members of the galactic underworld! Smugglers, space pirates, gun runners, bounty hunters, and information brokers make up the ranks of the Strike Force which has come together to defend the galaxy!
Each player begins the game with a Strike Force ship panel and a unique, eight-card deck which represents their ship and its crew. Arrayed against the Strike Force is one of five Opposition fleets, spread across a number of different sectors. Rather than players having individual turns, the game rounds proceed through five phases, in which the players act simultaneously.
Players use Travel Cards from sector to sector, Requisition Cards from various stations, and install their Tech Cards in hand to upgrade their ships. Then, the Strike Force may engage the Opposition in battle across every sector; however, while the Strike Force has been preparing their assault, the Opposition has grown ever more powerful. Finally, in the Aftermath, the Opposition forces gain resources when unopposed and add strength and numbers to their fleet. Ultimately, the Strike Force must work together to drive the Opposition from their systems and to final defeat.

Battle Zones: Urban Quadrant
$174.99 SRP
Densely-populated cities are often prime targets for attack by aliens, rebels or anyone else who has a cause to stand against the expanding human race. As civilians are evacuated and fortifications are hastily erected, the fighting intensifies around key objectives such as landing pads and communications arrays.
This set contains 46 assorted Battlezones terrain sprues and 8 connector sprues, allowing you to construct a huge range of buildings that will provide plenty of cover for a 6’x4’ area (or a 4’x4’ area of dense urban terrain). You can expand this set using other kits from Mantic’s Battlezones Tile System range.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.
Battle Zones: Fortified District
$39.99 SRP
Although any building can be fortified given adequate time, proper purpose-built defense emplacements are vital. Designed to withstand heavy ordnance as well as small arms fire, pre-fabricated bunkers can be fully assembled within an hour of being dropped into position. They can be found in a variety of roles, from command posts to medical centers, but are most often used as the central point of a defensive position.
This set contains eight terrain sprues plus a connector sprue, allowing you to build a single heavily fortified bunker or several smaller ones for use in any 28mm sci-fi wargame. It can also be assembled in a variety of other ways, and combined with other sets from Mantic’s Battlezones Tile System range.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.
Battle Zones: Defense Lines
$19.99 SRp
As mankind presses outwards into the galaxy, there is an ever-present threat from aliens, rebels and warring factions. Prefabricated defense lines are quick to raise, whether at ground level or atop a building, and offer durable protection from enemy fire. With the addition of a communications array or point-defense cannon, a string of defense lines can become a solid redoubt.
This set contains two Defense Line Sprues and a connector sprue, allowing you to build a single 29.5” Defense Line or several smaller ones. It also contains a laser cannon and comms antenna. This set is compatible with all others in Mantic’s Battlezones Tile System range.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.
Battle Zones: Landing Pad
$34.99 SRP
In the ongoing battle for the galaxy, secure supply lines are as important as the ability to move troops from place to place. Armored landing pads play a vital role; they allow the controlling faction to bring in cargo drops as well as reinforcements. If one should fall into enemy hands the tide of battle can turn in an instant, so they are fiercely guarded and will often be destroyed before they can be captured.
This set contains four Landing Pad sprues, two Defense Line sprues and a connector sprue, allowing you to build a raised landing pad with laser cannon and comms antenna. It can also be assembled in a variety of other ways, and combined with other sets from Mantic’s Battlezones Tile System range.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.
Battle Zones: Connectors (5)
$19.99 SRP
Mantic’s Battlezones system is the ideal terrain solution for sci-fi wargamers everywhere, bringing modular terrain to the table at an affordable price. For ambitious projects, you may want to stock up on extra connector clips, so this pack contains five sprues, giving you 128 right-angle (90°) connectors and 64 straight (180°) connectors.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted. Sprueless Plastic requires super glue.
| MGCTSCI01-1Battle Zones: Urban District
$39.99 SRP Mankind’s continuing settlement of the galaxy does not go unchallenged. Alien races do not appreciate others encroaching on their territory, and are not afraid to make strikes against civilian settlers. Frontier outposts can become the focus of fierce fighting as troopers from both sides set up ambushes and plan counterattacks across the densely-packed streets.
This set contains ten assorted Urban terrain sprues and a connector sprue, allowing you to construct a range of buildings that will provide plenty of cover for a 2’x2’ area. This set is compatible with all others in Mantic’s Battlezones Tile System range.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.

MGCTSCI02-1Battle Zones: Urban Sector
$79.99 SRP Mankind’s push into the galaxy had made it a number of enemies, but it shows no signs of slowing. Settlements can be found on thousands of worlds, from frozen tundra to heat-seared magma fields, and everything in between. Most settlements consist mainly of modular prefabrications, which are cheap to produce and transport but which provide more than adequate shelter for the many colonists that choose to leave the cradle of civilization.
This set contains 21 assorted terrain sprues and 3 connector sprues, allowing you to construct a range of buildings that will provide plenty of cover for a 2’x4’ area. This set is compatible with all others in Mantic’s Battlezones Tile System range.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted. |
| MGCTSCI22-1Battle Zones: Watchtower
$24.99 SRP Although sophisticated scanning equipment is commonplace throughout the galaxy, most armed forces still place their trust in watchtowers to give the word that the enemy is approaching. They also act as ideal firing platforms, giving snipers and support weapons a view of the entire battlefield. Transported as pre-fab flatpacks, they can be assembled in less time than it takes to set up a command tent.
This set contains six assorted Urban sprues and a connector sprue, allowing you to construct a watchtower for any 28mm wargame. It can alternatively be used in conjunction with other sets in the Battlezones Tile System range to build larger constructions.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted. |
MGCTSCI04-1Battle Zones: Fortified Sector
$79.99 SRP Certain objectives need to be held no matter the cost. Central command stations, main drop zones, even important landmarks that would strike a blow against morale if lost. These vital locations will usually be fortified, but if the enemy is expected to make a serious assault full fortified emplacements will be set up. These networks of bunkers and strongholds will take a concerted effort to breach, and even if the enemy does get through they will have paid a heavy price.
This set contains twenty terrain sprues plus 3 connector sprues, allowing you to build several heavily fortified bunkers (or a single massive stronghold) for use in any 28mm wargame. It can be assembled in a variety of different ways, and combined with other sets from Mantic’s Battlezones Tile System range for even more options.
