Community Round-up – April 22nd

22nd Apr 2020

Rob Burman



While the world deals with the difficulties of lockdown, it's been amazing to see the Mantic community pulling together. Over the past few weeks we've seen hobby groups pop up, Discord servers packed with chats and plenty of pictures of people sharing the hobby projects they've been working on.

It's humbling really that we're all part of a hobby that's able to pull together in this way. We're sure that painting or building miniatures, playing games or even just planning your next army, is a great distraction from what's going on around the globe.

It's certainly been clear from the activity on social media that a lot of you out there are using the time to finish off or start some hobby projects. So, here at Mantic, we thought it would be a good idea to round-up some of the things that have caught our eye recently.

This is just a sample of the wonders that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and blogs have to offer. Keep assembling, keep painting, and keep posting!

Cyle Pool has done a great job with a different paint style on some King’s of War Elves

If you haven’t read First Strike, you should and then you will be inspired to follow in Jack Millard’s footsteps. Also worth nothing that First Strike is currently FREE to download.

If you don’t like dirty, filthy rats maybe you can join the proud ranks of the Forge Fathers. These were completed by Patrick Lefevre

Of course, it's not just the community that's been busy. A number of Mantic staff have been using any extra hobby time to get a few projects under their belt ready for Ronnie's massive post-lockdown Kings of War battle.

Martin's Abyssal Dwarf Infernox. Martin is a lifelong Abyssal Dwarf player, if anyone asks

Rob's been busy rebasing his Forces of the Abyss army as part of a corrupt temple theme. His unpainted goblins can be heard weeping somewhere.

Kirsten is prepping her Deadzone terrain to play through the Nexus Psi solo campaign. Oh, that's another free download, by the way.

BLACKJACK LEGACY HOBBY STREAM

If you want to take part in a hobby hangout, then don't miss the Blackjack Legacy Hobby Hangout every Wednesday.

It's a great way to see what others are painting in the lockdown and be inspired to finish your own projects.
