Mantic Games’ Epic Warpath Kickstarter Launches!
February 14, 2024 by brennon
Mantic Games is now live on Kickstarter with its campaign that aims to bring Epic Warpath to the tabletop. Designed by Matt Gilbert & Alessio Cavatore, Epic Warpath allows you to play out the massive battles of the Warpath universe with 10mm Sci-Fi miniatures.

The smaller scale and larger scope of Epic Warpath allows you to dive into some of the big battles of Mantic's Sci-Fi universe without having to break the bank or bring your table crashing to the floor. You'll be able to take control of armies under the Enforcers, Plague, Forge Fathers and Asterians with full armies available to all. If you're interested in getting to know the gameplay mechanics of Epic Warpath, you can check out the video below...

If that longer video doesn't work for you, you can check out more videos over on the Mantic Games YouTube Channel where they have broken down the different phases and some of the more complicated elements of gameplay.
Armies & Pledge Options
When it comes to diving into Kickstarter, there are four factions available across a variety of different pledge options. First off, we can take a look at the different factions and the miniatures available to them.
Enforcers Army // Epic Warpath
Plague Army // Epic Warpath
All of the armies that Mantic are working on will be available as part of pledges where you effectively get to choose which ones you'll pick up and battle against a friend. Want to focus on one army? You can do just that. Want to expand into a two-player experience then you and a friend can choose what armies work for you. You can also go all-in and get your hands on all of the core armies plus loads of additional troops, the rules and more.

Forge Fathers Army // Epic Warpath
It's great to see the array of different miniatures that you can snap up for the game and then some of the bigger vehicles, walkers and more that are also joining the range. It is great to see that so much work has gone into all four factions already and fingers crossed it'll be just what people want when it comes to building big Sci-Fi armies in this scale.

Just saw this before the article came up. Quality and quantity vis-à-vis the price is astonishing, especially when compared to the competition. I am very tempted.
I got this for the missus for valentine’s day. Unrelated, does anyone know if testicles can be re- attached?
just use some CA glue
And don’t forget to use accelerant. Sure, it will burn, but it’ll be over faster, too.
Backed straight away, for the small entry price of £59 + P&P for all the bits you need and a army it seems a bit of a no brainer if you like the idea of a epic scaled sci-fi battles its an easy way to dip in and is the price a starter set should be (looking at competitors in the epic space with £100+ starters cough cough) The main challenge for me will be choosing from one of the four armies. Its personal taste but not quite a sold of the warpath universe’s look so its a tricky call,… Read more »
I’m probably in on this. I’m thinking Asterians at the minute, but I may change my mind if the Veermyn are sweet.
Passed on this.. Mostly because of Kickstarter fatigue. I’m still waiting on a crapton of battle tech models anyway and KS is just way to irregular for when you actually get your stuff… And it always clashes with things that follow the traditional release style too.
I’m just mostly over kickstarter as a thing and I was massively disappointed that a company the size of mantic chose this route.
This.
A year away? Really? I’ll have forgotten about it, completely.
Also, I can’t stand Alessio Cavatore – having him ruin another set of rules just made me back away. Like Italians retreating in the desert …
It is worth mentioning that this is a traditional kickstarter, Mantic don’t have deep enough pockets to launch a big new game in hard plastic and hope it sells. They are trying to put as many factions into hard plastic at launch as possible, and that is what kickstarter is meant to be for.
By comparison GW put out two factions (arguably) and are charging a lot more for it with no promise of adding any more variety. Warpath is about to unlock faction #6.
