Had more fun in 10 years of Kings of War than the previous 20 with Games Workshop. Letting the community beta test the rules and 20+ armies balanced against each other gives it the balance of a well designed computer game. None of my armies gather dust on a shelf. Wonderful.
I’ve met Ronnie several times, taken the full tour @ Mantic HQ and played many of his games. He’s a genuinely good guy and I wish him all the success he surely deserves. This video was almost over before I realized I’d been working on Mantic figures the whole time I listened to it. Lol. How appropriate! 😂 - Joey Jar Jar.
Ronnie is one of our hobby's most interesting and genuine people, and his enthusiasm is second to none. After 45 years in this hobby, The Walking Dead and the Hellboy board game have remained two of my favourites. Thank you, Jordan, for this awesome interview.
In the heady days of my early 20's I was at something of a crossroads and on a whim sent mantic an email asking for a job when they were just newly formed... got a reply from Mr Renton himself which struck me as exceptionally cool and stuck with me. He encouraged me to apply as a junior sculptor and to send in some sculpts. Never got the job but Ronnie seemed, and still seems like a top bloke.
Thank you Jordan for another great interview. Great to hear Ronnie's experience in his many years of gaming, the fun of gaming as well as the business aspects. Fantastic that Mantic continues to blossom, so many options these days 🤩 Squeak-squeak! 🤩🐀🌠
From the background, it makes sense why Mantic seems to be in an inverse trajectory from GW with going from Big boxes to random DND stuff and odds little games.

Fantastic interview with some great insights
What a great interview. Love that Ronnie is so open and willing to talk about yhe what and why.
It was brilliant chatting to Ronnie, I completely agree about how fantastic it was that he was so open about his history and perspective

A fascinating and fun chat 👍
Fantastic interview. Really interesting to hear about the sales side, and not just the creative work.

Great interview with a great guy. Ronnie is full of surprises! I cannot wait to see Ambush for Kings of War in 2025!
Ronnie seems like an awesome guy, great interview, Jordan!
Epic Kings of War. Like Warmaster. Now THATS an idea people would get behind I’m sure!
Honestly the game would make so much more sense being a smaller scale.
Stoked for Halo
Oooo dear leader Ronnie! Can’t wait
Whoa whoa whoa Ronnie. Who the hell is playing rebs anymore? There's no models for them! I would know, I am a Reb.
