Mantic rolls out a new 40k competitor with Firefight, along with some licensing deals for the miniatures included in the game!
While Firefight has been around for a while now, Mantic is totally revamping the rules and putting a ton of new models out. Not only in two huge new starter sets (and one includes space rats, so what’s not to like about that?) but also with some licensed models with big companies such as Warlord.
If you’ve been looking for a new sci-fi game to play with everything from infantry to ships, this is going to be a great alternative!The gameplay is fast-paced, has fairly easy-to-learn rules, and is far more affordable than other big sci-fi titles out there.
Let’s check out what you can score right now to play the game!
Mantic Rolls Out 40k Competitor, Firefight, & Licensing Deals
Here’s a little from them about the game:
Firefight is all about fast and intense combined arms battles. You’ll need to make great use of complimentary units to achieve victory, from grizzled infantry squads to heavily-armoured vehicles, fast outriders and save-the-day air support. Get ready to strategize, outsmart your opponents, and watch their units go up in smoke. It’s a fast, exciting and cinematic experience unlike anything you’ve played before.
Now, let’s check out the rules and the new starter sets on pre-order right now!
