Calling all B.P.R.D. Agents

It's been a while but we wanted to let you know that Box Full of Evil - which was previously only available via the Kickstarter - is now available in limited quantities via the Mantic website. When we place an order for Kickstarter pledges we always order a few extra for spares and missing bits - which means we sometimes have a few left for shows and special events.

Since the Kickstarter finished, a number of Hellboy: The Board Game fans have contacted us to ask if they could purchase the Box Full of Evil... and now you can! We're letting Kickstarter backers know first, before they go on the Mantic newsletter or social media later this week.

BOX FULL OF EVIL

Box Full of Evil contains two full expansions: Darkness Calls and Hellboy in Mexico, plus additional miniatures: Japanese Floating Heads, Oni, Vladimir Giurescu and Igor Bromhead.

DARKNESS CALLS EXPANSION (CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE AT RETAIL)

Continue the adventure with the Darkness Call expansion. This set contains:

• Playable Agent: Henry Hood
• 15 Undead Minions
• 3 Undead Witches
• Koschei the Deathless
• New Game Tiles
• New Tokens
• New Deck of Doom Cards
• New Encounter Cards
• Three New Case Files

HELLBOY IN MEXICO EXPANSION

Find out what happened during Hellboy's lost months in Mexico. This set contains:

• Playable Agents: Luchador Hellboy, Esteban, El Hermano Estoico and El Hermano Vengativo
• 15 Minions
• Comazotz Boss
• New Game Tiles
• New Deck of Doom Cards
• New Encounter Cards
• Three New Case Files

ADDITIONAL MINIATURES (NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AT RETAIL)

• Japanese Floating Heads
• Oni
• Vladimir Giurescu
• Igor Bromhead

You can order the Box Full of Evil here. Numbers are limited, so once they're gone, we won't be printing Box Full of Evil again.

RESIN HELLBOY HOBBY BUSTS!

We're also delighted to announce we're producing some limited edition resin Hellboy hobby busts. Designed for collectors and painters, we've scaled up the busts previously available in the board game and made them even more detailed. They're primarily designed for bust painters (so will require a little clean up with a hobby knife) but they look great unpainted too.

There are six busts available and each one measures around 9cm tall. The busts available are:

• Hellboy
• Liz Sherman
• Abe Sapien
• Johann Kraus
• Lobster Johnson
• Roger

They're available as a set of six, or you can buy Hellboy on his own - as we're expecting him to be the most popular! These are due to launch in stores this April but you can pre-order now from Mantic Games (as we're expecting them to be very popular). 

We can't wait to see some of these painted up!

Nimue still available! More Holiday Hellboys!
over 5 years ago – Tue, Nov 12, 2019 at 12:33:12 AM

Calling all B.P.R.D. Agents,

This is a super quick update to let you know that we'll be keeping Nimue up on the website until November 15th. We realise there was a problem with the website on November 1st, which meant some of you were having difficulty ordering. Sorry about that! 

However, we've been working with the site developer and the issue has now been sorted (fingers crossed). Because of the problems the other week, we've decided to extend the Nimue availability for another week to make sure that no one misses out.

You can buy Nimue on her own or as part of the limited edition Krampus and Nimue bundle. Both can be seen here. We'll be keeping the free shipping offer until the 15th too, so if you order the Krampus and Niumue bundle, you'll get free shipping (check the shipping section for details).

Did you know, Krampus is one of the tallest Hellboy miniatures we've produced. In fact, only the Conqueror Worm is bigger. Take a look at the comparison picture below!

Finally, the warehouse has also uncovered some additional Holiday Hellboys. At the time of writing we have 284 available. You can buy yours here. Sorry again about the website problems last week, but hopefully we fixed the issues.

Limited Edition Krampus Available to Pre-order Now! Nimue back on the website!
over 5 years ago – Fri, Nov 01, 2019 at 08:22:51 PM

Calling all B.P.R.D. Agents

Hope you enjoyed a suitably hellish Halloween! But the spooky fun doesn't have to stop because we're delighted to announce that the limited edition Krampus is available to pre-order now from the Mantic website and your local game store.

Inspired by the 2018 Eisner Award Winning One-Shot, Krampusnacht, written by Mike Mignola and illustrated by Adam Hughes, the Krampus is a terrifying new threat to add to your adventures in Hellboy: The Board Game.

Measuring approximately 6cm tall, Krampus comes unpainted and requires assembly, but will most definitely make a fantastic festive-themed gift for any Hellboy fan. The set also comes with exclusive Unexpected Threat cards for use in Hellboy: The Board Game.

This limited-edition celebratory piece will be available to pre-order from November 1st from participating Mantic stockists and direct from Mantic Games at www.manticgames.com. After being designed by a digital sculptor, each Krampus gaming piece will be painstakingly handcrafted by our resin team here at Mantic HQ in Nottingham, UK, before being shipped around the world from December onwards. 

Just like Holiday Hellboy last year, Krampus will be available to order until December 31st. We expect demand to be high, so shipping may continue into early 2020.

NIMUE!

Alongside Krampus, the limited edition show exclusive Nimue is also available to order from the Mantic website. We realise that the last time we offered Nimue on the website it proved difficult, so we're making it much easier!

Nimue will be available to order until November 8th and will start shipping from December 8th (just like Krampus). There's no limit on the amount, so instead we'll just take pre-orders and then produce the amount required. Hopefully this will stop the website apocalypse we had last time.

If you're interested in picking up both Krampus and Nimue at the same time, we've created a special bundle. Not only do you save money, but you'll also qualify for free shipping (just make sure you choose the correct currency for your country, e.g. $ in the US).

HOLIDAY HELLBOY

Finally, we've also got around 50 Holiday Hellboys left from last year's limited edition Christmas offering.

These are the last few remaining, so if you missed out on Holiday Hellboy, now's your chance. Holiday Hellboy is in stock now and will ship within the next week.

League of Infamy from the team behind Hellboy: The Board Game
over 5 years ago – Tue, Oct 29, 2019 at 02:38:16 AM

Calling all B.P.R.D. Agents,

Hope that you're enjoying your Wave Two goodies! We've had some great feedback about the second wave and it's been fantastic to see so many of you diving back in to Hellboy: The Board Game. If you've got a problem with your Wave Two, please email [email protected] and we can look into it!

LEAGUE OF INFAMY

We thought you might like to hear about our latest project, League of Infamy - the occasionally co-operative dungeon crawler for 2-5 players. If you enjoyed Hellboy: The Board Game, then we're delighted to announce that we've worked with Sophie and James over at Needy Cat Games once more to create a dungeon crawler like no other.

You'll see there are plenty of inspirations from their work on Hellboy but with a dastardly twist. Instead of playing as the heroes, you take on the role of the Villains as they work their way through an elven sanctuary. However, being a group of miscreants means that things don't always go to plan!

There's a special early bird deal for the first 48 hours and the project is already funded. You can check it out here.

Oh, and in important Hellboy news - we'll have an update about Nimue and Krampus later this week. 

Shipping update for Canadian backers
over 5 years ago – Fri, Oct 11, 2019 at 03:28:48 AM

Calling all B.P.R.D. Agents,

A very quick update for our Canadian backers to let you know that following yesterday's update, we worked on a solution with Snakes & Lattes and all packages have now left their warehouse. Wave Two orders should be arriving in Canada within the next couple of days.

Apologies again for the delay, but we're delighted we were able to sort the issue out in a timely manner.

Finally, a quick note, if you've emailed [email protected] in the past couple of days, please be patient waiting for a reply. Normally we resolve queries within 48hrs but this can increase during Kickstarter delivery times!
