Mantic Games is firing on all cylinders this year, and with Adepticon 2026 right around the corner, there seems to be no stopping for the miniature and board game company.
According to their latest press release, gamers and hobbyists are going to see events for Firefight, Deadzone, Kings of War, and Halo: Flashpoint . Alongside the 50+ gaming events, Mantic is promising convention-only deals, bundles, and early-release items that won’t last long.
In our experience, this stuff goes quickly, so if you're there, get in that exhibitor hall!
Something that really has me excited is a promo miniature for the upcoming The Ghost In The Shell roleplaying game. As a huge fan of the cyberpunk series, I'm going to definitely snag one of these minis, which will be in limited numbers for $20 USD.

Here's some more details:
Deadzone & Firefight Organized Play: Adepticon’s schedule is packed with official Mantic events, including:
- Deadzone US Nationals
- Firefight Annihilation Tournament
- Firefight US Nationals
Bring your strike teams and armies, claim glory, and enjoy some of the most energetic competitive play of the year.
Kings of War 4th Edition: Lead your legions into the thick of battle with their newest edition. They'll have demo tables ready, staff on hand to walk you through rules updates, and fresh 4th Edition goodies available at the booth, alongside some fun gaming opportunities
Learn the new Kings of War game, Champions, which is a rank-and-flank Fantasy 28mm miniatures game launched by Mantic Games. It is designed as a quick and easy entry point into this style of miniature wargame, set in the world of Pannithor.
You can also learn Armada, which will teach players the naval game that ties into the overall Kings of War experience! And if you're an experienced player, the Blood in the Water tournament returns.
Where I'll be is The Big Game, which will feature 2 massive armies, tons of figures, and the ability to learn to play 4th edition with tons of models!
Halo Flashpoint: Step into the firestorm. Our booth will feature nonstop Flashpoint demos all weekend, showing off fast-paced, tactical play and the newest releases hitting store shelves this spring. If you’ve been waiting to jump into the Halo tabletop universe, this is your moment.
Some of the demos for Halo will include the Single Kill Challenge, which promises a "SWAT mode" where each player has to use a selected weapon to take out a specific figure on the board. The Master Chief Challenge will put 4 players against each other in a game of Slayer (I'm already having flashbacks to college in 2003). Survival will be a fight to the death as 4 Spartans go up against a never ending wave of enemies.
