Canadian Mantic Fanatic Here.

[Darsc Zacal]

Hey there guys.

Would have been here sooner, but I've been busy painting.

I've been collecting and painting Fantasy mini's for over 30 years, since back in the D&D days. Long before Warhammer was created.

I'm not so much a player these days, as I'm not in with any current local groups. I collect any miniatures I like, from a number of companies, but since late 2009 Mantic has been my favourite miniature company. I have very high hopes for their future.

Apart from the Abyssal Dwarfs, I have pretty much everything Mantic has put out so far, including the 3up Collectors Figures. Although I am a bit behind in my painting.

I have an elven army roughly 160minis strong, with about 2/3 painted.

A dwarf army over 200minis strong. I just primed about half of them in Army Painters Metal Armour primer, so those are now progressing.

Lastly I have my undead army at over 700minis strong. Not quite gaarew sized, but a pretty intimidatingly sized army non the less... Painting project wise anyway. Probably why I haven't made a start on them yet.

I'm also the keeper of the Mantic News and Rumour First Post Roundup over in Warseer. Check it out as I keep it updated on a regular basis.

Obviously VERY busy painting, or you would have included a link eh D?


Welcome aboard old man, glad you finally made it.

Funny thing. I was in Warseer earlier this evening, but since I joined this group, I can't get back onto Warseer.

Gaarew. What have you done?

Seriously though, nothing comes up for Warseer at all. Not even an error message. Anybody else been experiencing this today? I tried to clear the cache on my phone but still nothing.

Warseer always seems to be crashing or getting hacked.
I don't understand what it is with all the dramas surrounding gaming sites...

[gaarew]

I'm getting nothing for Warseer either.


Good job I had this back-up in place eh?

[Darsc Zacal]

Yep. It's good to see you have a number of the regulars registered here. Maybe even more if they've adopted a different screen name that I don't recognize.

A couple of questions about this site. My local time is two hours off. How do I change that? And where's the page for importing an avatar?

Nice to see you over here, Darsc.  Should I start the cursing now, or should we break you in gently? 

I'm having problems with Warseer too.  May just be more maintenance.  They're probably working on taking the social groups out, since we've had ample hours of notice.

Thanks Llew. I feel like I jumped ship just in time.

Does anyone know if Nighty posts here? Not that I expect to hear anything over this weekend while the gang from Mantic Towers are over at Salute.
