Mantic Monday – Christmas Gift Guide 2022
12th Dec 2022

There’s still just about time to make those last minute Christmas purchases, so we’ve put together a handy little guide.
2 Player Starter Sets
A great way of introducing someone to a new game system, the 2 player sets come with two armies and a rulebook so you can battle it out straight away.
Kings of War is a mass-battle fantasy wargame set in the world of Pannithor. Rank upon rank of soldiers marches into bloody combat, while winged demons battle fiery dragons overhead. From launching devastating bombardments of artillery, to tactically out-flanking your opponent’s forces, Kings of War is a game of exciting, expansive fantasy battles.
Kings Of War has a number of different 2 player set options, with different armies to pick from. The newest being The Sands Of Ahmun, this set contains brand new Ogre and Empire Of Dust armies in stunning hard plastic.
If Sci-Fi is more your thing then Firefight and Deadzone both have a great 2 player set to sink your teeth into.
Firefight is an immersive sci-fi wargame and the set contains over 70 highly detailed Mantic miniatures, rule and force lists books, a quick start guide, dice and tokens. Play as the brutish Marauders or the lawful Enforcers.
Deadzone takes place in containment zones – cities or whole planets that have been erased from planetary maps and left for dead. You control an elite team of soldiers ready to enter the potentially lethal Deadzone and scavenge for whatever lucrative resources you can find. But competition is fierce, and other Strike Teams will be out to thwart you on your mission. Get in, get out, get rich, or get dead. Again this set comes with everything you could possibly need to get started.
