It’s Sadly James Hewitt’s Last Day At Mantic!
March 11, 2014 by brennon
I think all of us here in the Beasts of War community have loved having James Hewitt from Mantic Games around but sadly today is his last day at Mantic HQ! However, he has a few parting gifts. First up let's see what James would look like as the epic Bear Wizard...
Now that is an awesome piece of artwork pinned in tribute to his work for the team over there. Frankly I think that's a load of awesome and would love to see it become a miniature! As well as the wonderful artwork James is also giving away a big grab bag of wonderful trinkets as a last day competition.
If you'd like to be in with a chance of winning it, the contents of which are little bits and pieces from around the studio including a collectors edition Elf, then follow the steps below.
From Mantic...
If you want to be in with a chance of winning, here's what you had to do!
1) Share a link to the DBX Kickstarter on your Facebook page. Make sure it's set to Public so we can verify that you've done it!
2) Post a goodbye message to James as a comment on this post.
That's all! James will pick a comment at random at the end of the day, and if we can see that you've shared a link to DBX on your page you'll get a big bag of bits in the post!
Last of all let's make sure we all say a big farewell to James and wish him luck in his new endeavors!
Going to miss you buddy!

So long James. The internet will miss you. And if your new employers let you loose on the Empire book, THOSE DEMIGRYPHS ARE NOT UNDERCOSTED!
Good luck, man!
Thank you James for introducing a lot of us to Mantic. You will be missed!
Your first job James should be to get to re release all the specialist games stuff
Goodbye James, thanks for getting me excited about Dreadball and Deadzone! (See if we can’t get a new version of Space Hulk released)
Best of luck to you, James H. 😀
Hope your new employers treat you well and I can’t wait to see what new material you create. So as the Elves say ‘Namaarie’ [farewell]!
It seems Wayland are honouring James M in their own way today.

James, it’s sad to see you go. Hopefully, you’ll be allowed to visit from time to time. However, in case we never see you again, may your future be bright and filled with joy and laughter, may success follow you where ever the road may lead you, may you be the force that changes the world, and may you never stop striving for the next great idea. Go Journeys.
Good Luck & Godspeed James !
A real pleasure to see you on BoW & Mantic videos. Thanks for your presentations of Mantic games and a very thank you for all your enthusiasm !
Hope to see you again for some games with Warren, he deserves it ! 😉
Good Luck on your new Journey, James! May the path always come your way and the wind blows to your favor!
You surely will be missed in Mantic and in every video of Beast of War!
Best of luck in your post..
Did the Deadzone full game video get filmed when he was last visiting you guys?
Once more in to the breach dear friend.
