 It's the Midweek Roundup Hey folks, Johnny here with the Midweek Roundup again. It's just me, Obama Lonesome today, no special guests, but we have plenty of exciting images to show off that you guys have been doing in the community. So let's get started. First up we have Bill Harvard. He's done some fantastic halfling stalwarts. Really interesting to see them in such a bright, vibrant red. Often we see halflings in more sort of autumnal, natural tones. Really interesting just to see them really pop, really bright like that. And of course, the basin is fantastic, a few flowers and that sort of proper meadow vibe like you'd expect from halflings. Really, really top job. You can see some aeronauts in the background there as well. Sorry, some edge grenadiers in the background there. He has also done some aeronauts, I believe. And then these guys are fantastic. As you've probably heard from me, I love really dirty grimy paint schemes. So when I saw these, I was very excited. This is the Casual Army Painter on Instagram. They've done four Enforcer jet bikes because the more jet bikes, the merrier. I'm sure if you saw the video with Nick and his Enforcer Force for Firefights, he's got umpteen jet bikes as many as he could possibly fit and very much of the opinion, more jet bikes is better. It's a very similar scheme to our box art, the grays and the reds, but they've gone for a really dark, dingy, battle-worn effect on it. It looks to be drybrushed, maybe a bit of washing as well, just to really grind me it up. It's really, really nice paintwork. And then we've seen this model time and time again on our mid-week roundups. It's obviously just one that takes to being painted beautifully really, really well, mainly because it's a fantastic model. It's a stunning sculpt, but it's always exciting when we see so many great paint jobs for this model. It's the Clorpak leader from the Viermin Clorpak set. David Strawbridge here has gone for a really vibrant, almost fluorescent sort of paint scheme, particularly on the claws, those greens, very sort of gungee gooey to the claws, and then a nice gold to the orange armor just helps highlight it, really, really nice, vibrant scheme. But then the rat itself is actually dark black sort of grays. That makes it nice contrast as well. Fantastic job. And then, like I said, the greens in the claws have been sort of brought through into the basing as well with the slime on the floor. It's really, really fantastic job. Very well done. Talking of rats, direct misfire again on Instagram. It's fantastic mutant rat fiend. Really, really nicely painted. The blood and the flesh and that sort of thing just looks so realistic. I was going to say you'd believe it was a photograph, but if it was a photograph this thing would be real and it would be haunting everyone's nightmares. So we're glad it's just paint. Really good job on the base as well, really big dynamic base, big sort of diorama, moss and that sort of thing climbing up it as well, really, really nice just to add a little bit of extra texture to it. It's a fantastic job. And from Dark and Dingy, we go into bright and vibrant again, Grant Wyatt's hornet for his marauders, his tiger hornet, we call it. It's absolutely stunning. The level of detail that's gone into this to really get those stripes nice is absolutely fantastic. And then the fun little, the mouth at the front as well really makes it very, very orky, very marauder. It's really, really nicely done. Imagine seeing that from afar on a gaming table. You're going to want to go over and check it out because it's very, very colourful. It's a complete firefight army for his marauders, all the rest of the troops and the vehicles, the mules, those sort of thing have a very similar scheme of not the tiger, they are equally as bright and vibrant and really, really top job. So I suggest you go check him out. Now this month we obviously got very excited about the hard plastic Empire of Dust skeletons. So we sent them out to a few influencers and a few of them started to post them out now. The real Iron Hand Hever, she's done a fantastic job on these ones, particularly like the cloth colour of the robes. Really, really nice and then always models look great when the photograph's done on a scenic base like this. Really, really top job. And Kieran from Kia's Minis has also done some skeletons. He's gone for reds and golds, really, really nice. A lot of off-source lighting and non-metallic metal to this one. His paint work is always top notch. Really, really excited to see what he could do with these new hard plastics and he's not failed at all. These are fantastic. Really, really nice. And then the weekend just gone, it was the TNT at NashCon. They had a big room dedicated to Kings of War tournament. Lots and lots of tables, including a table in an octagon in a cage. So the marquee game of each round would play in this octagon, in this cage match, which made it very exciting, very thematic. I imagine that obviously gave an extra added incentive to do well and make your way up to the octagon and be very competitive once you're up there. As you can see with this image here from Tim, Kat got very competitive. And then lastly we've got James Wapport. If you've seen any of his work before, we've featured him quite a bit in the roundups over the past few months. His Armada boats are absolutely stunning, the second to none. It's always really exciting to see what he can do with the latest fleet. So he's got here the Northern Alliance fleet. Really, really nice. Nice colour schemes, nice dark blues, really dark silvers to the hull as well. And then that's reflected in the base, quite literally reflected in the base as well. Really nice, nice job. And like I always got the waves creating that bow at the front. It's absolutely fantastic. And then the free hand on the sails as well is perfect, isn't it? It's really fantastic. That's it this week, folks. I hope you enjoyed it. As you can see, been some great inspiration this week. Some really top-notch paintwork across the all the different gaming systems. If you'd like to be featured remember on all the socials, make sure you tag your paint jobs with hashtag MyMantic. And I'll keep an eye out for them. I'm always looking throughout all the different social medias platforms to spy and see what you're all up to, see what you're painting, see if it's able to be featured. So make sure you get your brushes out, get inspired, and get painting. And we'll see you again next week.
