Monsters Behind the Masks

It is time for Carnevale competitive events, and in this episode Dario, Rens and Matteo discuss in depth about the community proposal for tournaments that Matteo has put together.

But first, we discuss about the new huge wave of unique characters that has stormed Carnevale in this hot summer, as well as some hobby progress, as usual!

Enjoy, have a read at Matteo's proposal and, as always, tell us what you think in the comments, via email or social media.

Today, 12th May 1797, the Serenissima Republic of Venice surrendered to Napoleon Bonaparte.

However, to lighten up the mood, IT'S PODCAST DAYYYYY!!!
Matteo Miceli Rens van den Bergh and Dario are back to the mic to share their thoughts about the new Tribe exteme models, the new unique characters recently released and, of course, their hobby progresses.

Ciao a tutti e benvenuti su The Monsters Behind the Masks con un nuovo episodio in italiano!

Vi abbiamo fatto aspettare, lo sappiamo... ma siamo siamo sicuri che sarà valsa la pena. In questo episodio infatti, Dario e Matteo si lanciano in una disamina dell'ultimo giro di FAQ e Balance Pass per Carnevale. Visto che l'episodio è risultato alquanto "corposo" vi alleghiamo anche un utile riferimento per l'orario in cui parliamo della vostra fazione. Suggeriamo di ascoltare anche i 5-6 minuti successivi al termine della vostra fazione, visto che ogni tanto ci è capitato di aggiungere qualche nota a margine. Buon ascolto e buon divertimento! Arrivederci a Venezia!
