Some event news from Mantic Games...
-------------------

We have so many events coming up, it's going to be a challenge to fit them all into one newsletter - but we'll try anyway! Whether you play Kings of War, DreadBall, The Walking Dead or anything else, there will be something for you to attend, so read on! Plus, if you're a Deadzone fan, make sure you scroll to the bottom of this message for a sneak peek at the brand new supplement, Deadzone: Outbreak! 7TH JULY - DREADBALL UK NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS Play the galaxy's greatest sports game and rise to the top as you compete against other coaches for the title of UK National Champion! This awesome 1-day event includes 4 games of DreadBall and a free lunch - plus some great prizes for attendees. There will also be the chance to play against Mantic staff too.

This is our own headline event, featuring 6 games over 2 days, with a chance to win a subsidised trip to the US Clash of Kings 2019! It's always a great weekend away too, with the chance to potentially have a pint alongside Ronnie in the evening. Book your tickets here! 4TH AUGUST - GEN CON MANTIC NIGHT During Gen Con, we run our traditional Mantic Night. This year includes a Q&A session with the famously 'tight-lipped' Ronnie Renton, previews of Hellboy and our super secret brand new Walking Dead board game, and drinks with the Mantic staff plus Pathfinders. What's more, every attendee will get a free vehicle from our Warpath range - like the Chroma pictured above! Grab your ticket here - hurry because spaces are limited. CONVENTIONS AND SHOWS We'll be continuing our standard circuits of shows as the year goes on. You can come and meet us at the stand, pick up a show exclusive (like the Dale, Prison Advisor Booster) and exclusive deals, play demo games and see previews of upcoming releases. To keep up to date with which shows we're attending and when, check out our Events page. MARS ATTACKS LAST CHANCE After June 30th, you'll no longer be able to purchase Mars Attacks products in their retail packaging. Although we'll still be offering unpackaged miniatures as part of web-only deals or bundles. This means that if you want to get your hands on any of the existing products in their retail boxes, you have until the end of the month to do so. You can find the available range here. DEADZONE: OUTBREAK Deadzone: Outbreak is coming soon and next week we'll be going over all of the content - including the brand new Nameless faction - over on the Mantic Blog. There will be features on the new online campaign, background, units and even some great bundles for those of you who want to get started in Deadzone. Stay tuned!

Some interesting Mars Attacks deals from Mantic Games...

Independence Day Invasion! I don't why, but for some reason the American holiday on July 4th always reminds me of aliens with flying saucers and gung-ho marines. It's madness and that can mean only one thing - Mantic Mars Attacks Madness! Mars Attacks Independence Day Invasion! Mars Attacks is the fast-paced table top game of ray-guns and Martians, based on the Trading Cards and Comics. You and your opponent control small forces of either humans or Martians, on the day of the invasion. The rules are easy to pick up and provide hours of fun with everything from shrink-rays to giant mutant insects! If you want to start an invasion of your own, or just demolish some famous monuments, we've put together some fantastic deals for you to celebrate the Independence Day weekend. Also, unlike alien invasions in most movies, these aren't limited to the U.S. - they're available all over the world! Check out the Independence Day Invasion Deals here! Each of these deals comes with the Mars Attacks Box - 39 Miniatures, Terrain, Dice and everything else your need to play - and the Extermination Expansion which adds more madness with insane scientists, mutant insects and alien mercenaries. There's even a Giant Martian Robot to stomp over your enemies in the Mega Deal! The Independence Day Invasion Deal saves you over £30 verses buying the products separately, whilst the Mega Deal saves you a whopping £50!! These deals will only be available to order until midnight (GMT) on Friday 4th July - so don't miss it. ON MONDAY - THE EMPIRE OF DUST RISES ONCE MORE... These ancient undead are marching from the south of Mantica to take revenge upon the world of the living. You'll be able to pre-order the full range from Monday. Check out our Facebook pages to see what's coming!

Some terrain news and a reminder about those upcoming sneak previews....

DON'T FORGET: Mantic's Big Reveal Week starts on Monday 18th May and you can already discover the first parts of the Dungeon Saga story on the Blog. Ronnie will be doing a live hangout with Beasts of War on Wednesday 20th May at 7pm GMT. There's also new Warpath Alpha rules being released to Beasts of War Backstage Pass holders on 22nd May. This is just the start - do not miss it! 20th Century Scenery Simple, generic, affordable, innovative and high quality – the Battlezones range of modular terrain tiles is expanding to include 20th Century Brick buildings. Generic: The 20th Century Scenery can be used in practically any genre of gaming. We think it works particular well with modern combat and historical games, but it fits nicely with near-future, post-apocalyptic and fantasy games too. Miniatures courtesy of Warlord Games. Innovative: Fully modular, you can assemble and take apart the building many times, allowing you to change your battlefield every game. In this video, Dave shows you just how easy it is to assemble the terrain, using the Battlezones ruins included in the Mars Attacks box. Simple: The scenery snap-fits together, making it easy to get on the tabletop, and comes in a brick-colored plastic so you don't even need to paint it. If you do want to paint it Dave shows you how in his simple Hobby Tips video, again using the Battlezones ruins included in Mars Attacks. Affordable: We'll have a set for every budget, with the Ruined City the biggest set we do. It'll easily cover a 6’x4’ table in plenty of terrain. High Quality: Terrain as good quality as your miniatures, for use with any gaming system. Dave's Scenery Spectacular - limited stock for May "Affordable plastic scenery for modern or historical games is hard to find, and the deliberately generic design of the buildings combined with the simple connector system means that getting buildings onto the table is easier than ever before. The first sets are now available to pre-order from your local retailer or the Mantic webstore, which are the large kits designed to provide lots of cover for your gaming table. There's a selection of smaller sets coming later next month made up of different combinations of the same tiles, allowing you to build undamaged buildings or urban ruins. As is traditional at Mantic, the larger the box, the cheaper it gets - but due to a supply issue we've only got limited stock available for May. Pre-order now if you want to guarantee you'll get a set."
