@manticgames.bsky.social why is your feed so quiet? Crickets aren't even there! Any chance of showing some posts here? Auto boost from me!

I'm Number 3 Input (Clifton Strengths) and I'm ODing on political content. I need to get my sanity back, so I'm cleaning my feed to only professional media accounts for polytics. The rest is hobbies and fun stuff.

Mashup of Mantic Nagarri demon models with ghostbuster Slimer torso and head.

Looks like Slimer and his buddy got the Nagarri upgrade! #kingsofwar #forcesoftheabyss #ttminis #ttgaming #miniaturegaming

Mashup of Mantic's Molochs with Stay-Puft marshmallow man heads, proton packs, and proton guns.

What's the happiest memory from Ray's childhood? Roasting Stay-Puft marshmallows over an open fire at Camp Waconda. Mr. Stay Puft was harmless... until now. #kingsofwar #forcesoftheabyss #ttminis #ttgaming #miniaturegaming

3d prints of ghostbuster style proton packs

Printing up some Proton packs for my new #kingsofwar #forcesoftheabyss army! #ttminis #ttgaming #miniaturewargaming

My Moloch’s aren’t’armless, but they are waiting on their new heads #3dprinting #manticgames #forcesoftheabyss #kingsofwar #ttminis #ttgaming

So, what's a #kingsofwar army without some cool basing additions to give a theme? Now on my

YouTube video by Wee Nips Generation Jones EXPLAINED: The Lost Generation Nobody Talks About

What is #generationjones?

I represent this generation. In between real boomers, and real Gen-Xers

It would be nice if the @manticgames.bsky.social socials team spent a little time update here on bluesky. Their profile echoes with the emptiness of an Ahmunite crypt while the empire is invading another kingdom

The Return of the Alessio: Kings of War 4th Ed By Troy Hill I began to write this a week ago, on 7 October. But new bits of information were trickling out of Mantic HQ so fast, the trickle was more of a typhoon. Or, at least, it was “Blow…

New edition of #Kingsofwar coming soon. Here's what that means for the non-player:

Why, yes... I do have "Swift Forged Orcs" in my #kingsofwar armory, ready to play 4th Ed. Looking forward to some fun #Rankandflank #miniaturewargaming action

Anyone else notice the #NMRA social media manager went full nutso on her facbook(dot)com/lucynmra page? At least she finally debranded her bio on the page from the shouting she was repping the NMRA.

This is absolute truth. Add in I've read the Book of Mormon & done a little bit of Jehovah Witness readings. I'm not being arrogant when I tell Bible thumpers that I probably know their book BETTER than them..I'm WARNING THEM to not TEST ME🤷‍♀️

Unintended consequences of the tariff situation. Small US businesses having to outsource ROW manufacturing! wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/t...

Fully support this! Values over #wargame fame. #ttminis #ttwargames

Nice work on the buildings. Scratchbuilt or kits?

Tariffs could mean the end of the line for the model railroad industry The model railroad industry relies on Asia-sourced parts and pieces for success and tariffs could spell disaster for this niche hobby.

Another overview of how the #trumptariffs are affecting the #modelrailroading hobby. And remember, a lot of the suppliers in the hobby are US based companies. It's always the little businesses who feel the most pain...

Got the Fascia Painted! #modelrailroading

A bottle of Windex sits atop the layout in a curved section of the fascia board. Wetting the tempered hardboard with windex helps the board conform to it's shape.

Had to break out the windex to make the curves bend well. Fascia on the upper deck installed. #modelrailroading

Pic of a double deck layout. Tempered Hardboard fascia is being installed on the edge of the upper deck. No ducks were harmed in the making of this photo.

More Fascia. Done except for the last 8 inches. I don't feel like ripping another section right now so it will wait. I'll probably finish the backdrop then, too. #modelrailroading

Tempered hardboard clamped to the upper deck of my layout, forming a 5-inch drop fascia.

It's FASCIA day
No, not Fascists... we've got enough of that already. ;)
