Below you can see the team that won ‘best painted’ by Thomas Brown. We like the hazard stripes on the bases for these. Congratulations to all those that played, apart from Rob, and we’re looking forward to hosting another OverDrive tournament soon. In fact, if you’re heading to Adepticon you can take part in the OverDrive tournament there.

Andy Dodd has done a gruesomely good job on his latest set of zombies! The flesh tone is superb and the dark base really gives a sense of night-time.

It was the Australian Clash Of Kings recently. It’s so great to see people being able to get out and play games in the real world again now areas are starting to see some kind of normality. If this sort of image gets your tournament juices pumping, remember that tickets for Clash of Kings UK are on sale now. You can purchase them from the LGT website.

After placing 7th at the OverDrive tournament, Rob here at Mantic has already switched his focus to Deadzone and is finishing off his Forge Fathers ready for the Deadzone UK Championships later this year. We’re aiming for up to 40 players, all battling it out here at Mantic HQ and tickets are selling fast. His latest project is the chunky Forge Father Juggernaut.

Dark Horse Direct and Mike Mignola are proud to present the next premium statue based on our very own limited-edition miniature from the best-selling Kickstarter game, Hellboy: The Board Game!  Pre-order now direct from Dark Horse! 

Ben Clewer must be a big fan of old school Coldplay, because when I asked what colour he painted his Enforcers he said: “they were aaaalllll yellow”…

…I’ll get my coat.

Over on Twitch ciara_elvenblood has started painting the incredible and rather large new Riftforged Orc Stormslayer. This video is a great fun watch along for whilst you are painting your own miniatures. Have you started painting your Riftforged orcs yet?

We have seen some incredible armies that took part in the Australian Clash Of Kings, this Trident Realm army being a great example.

And finally John Blakemore painted his Dwarf fleet. The metallic paints have made great work of the hulls and those waves are fantastic.

The Midweek Round-Up will be coming to you every Wednesday, so keep your eyes peeled! And if you want to make sure we spot your great work, use the hashtag #MyMantic when posting on social media.
