History
Mantic Games was started in 2008 by former Games Workshop Managing Director, Ronnie Renton with a range of high-fantasy miniatures that were compatible with other popular wargames, including Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
It later began publishing board games and miniature games, notable titles include Kings of War, Dwarf King's Hold, Dungeon Saga, Dreadball, Deadzone, Project Pandora, Warpath and Loka. It has also produced the licensed-game Mars Attacks—based on the Topps card game series and the Deadzone rules.
So far, Mantic has used former Games Workshop designers Alessio Cavatore (Warhammer 40,000, The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game, Bolt Action (game)) and Jake Thornton (Inquistor, Lost Patrol, White Dwarf) to develop many of its games. Later versions of Warpath are developed in house by the Mantic design studio.
