[SPEAKER_00]: brought to you by BedroomBattleField.com.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the table top miniature movie podcast.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello and welcome to the table top miniature hobby podcast.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Matthew with you here and it's a hobby update episode We've been taking your voice clips throughout the month of April 2026 and we've got a good selection as ever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get right into it.
[SPEAKER_05]: by Matthew, it's key to here from Sussex and I've been listening to your podcast for a long time since it's a very early days and have been meaning to give you a hobby update a long time as well and finally getting round to do one.
[SPEAKER_05]: So here we go with it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm really been back into the
[SPEAKER_05]: as a kid, I love Hero Quest and advanced Hero Quest used to play that a lot, so since getting back in, I found a mate that they're up gaming and I've been creating a campaign for advanced Hero Quest.
[SPEAKER_05]: With life getting in the way as it does, we've not.
[SPEAKER_05]: not play there any of it for a while over a year now.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I've been working front at least we've got a game set up this coming weekend and I've been painting up various bits of train and a load of enemies including some osteoporone repers from Warhammer Age of Sigma that I'm going to use to hopefully defeat some of his heroes.
[SPEAKER_05]: So yeah looking forward to that it's been a good game back in soon and
[SPEAKER_05]: are not on the discord, but that's something I might have to mention, it's not something I've ever done, but maybe I'll check it out, that sounds like you're a place, and maybe there'll be someone else local to me that's up for some gaming.
[SPEAKER_07]: Anyway, keep out the great work on the podcast, and I'll try and update next month as to how the game went.
[SPEAKER_07]: my test-print of which went off to Johnny Watson's Battle of Wynam Hill to be presented to the best painter to army.
[SPEAKER_07]: Unsurprisingly, it went to the very talented, dreadpaints, so I look forward to seeing here he gets on with that.
[SPEAKER_07]: And, I have now got stuck into Karak's Sporke, some dwarven scenery which will hopefully help Jason build his massive table for Boyle this year, so keep an eye out for that.
[SPEAKER_07]: On the painting table, I have painted some reinforcements from my untenable meter undead army.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, bolstered with some zombies, giant bats, a huge catapult, and whilst not yet painted it, I may have found a good model for a ten millimeter Jeff.
[SPEAKER_07]: And with those painted, I lined them up with the rest of my army against Dick Longfellow in a game of
[SPEAKER_07]: And I am pleased to report Matthew's little dick took quite a beating.
[SPEAKER_07]: Plans for the next month are a sizable game of fantasy at the weekend, more work on Carrack's pork, and knuckle down on getting my gene-stealer cult finished, as they have to go blueberry picking in August, and I have just ordered some reinforcements from hybrid
[SPEAKER_07]: Once again, cheers for your excellent work with the podcast Math here, and I will as always, I look forward to listening to what you lot have been up to.
[SPEAKER_07]: Catch you next month.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm Matthew and this nurse, Mark Wolf and True, checking in with my April update.
[SPEAKER_08]: I can safely say that April 2026 has been the most productive hobby month in my admitted limited hobby history.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is largely due to the wonders of the Easter break.
[SPEAKER_08]: As a teacher in the UK, this is by far my favourite holiday since we rarely plan too much in as a family.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's therefore an excellent chance to get some hobby projects completed.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think this year has been particularly productive since my son is taking a vested interest in the hobby and that's encouraging me.
[SPEAKER_08]: On the painting desk, I've managed to get all of my remaining kings of war and had minis painted up.
[SPEAKER_08]: Just a few units of dwarves to get done now, and I have two fully painted armies ready for kings of war, third edition game, balance that around 900 points.
[SPEAKER_08]: I hope to play over the summer.
[SPEAKER_08]: I also picked up a fun little game from Mantic's early days, Dwarf King's Hold.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is proven to be the perfect mix of dungeon crawler and skirmish game, which my son, who's just turned 11, thoroughly enjoyed.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is going to be a regular fixture in our gaming rotation now, and we're basically looking forward to playing some of the more complex scenarios towards the end of the rulebook.
[SPEAKER_08]: Finally, I spent an enjoyable afternoon
[SPEAKER_08]: During these solid days, carving up a load of old scrap foam I've been hoarding, turned it into several hills and scattered terrain which were vaguely rock-shaped.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've discovered the joy of Mod Podge II, which I hope will preserve the newly formed terrain for a while.
[SPEAKER_08]: Making this terrain reminded me how much I love this part of the hobby and I must do some more.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've got some cheap trees from Timo which have been sat in my drawer for over a year.
[SPEAKER_08]: Which I need to spruce up a little bit and make a look a little bit more interesting.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think that's my next project.
[SPEAKER_08]: As always, I thank you for the varied and inspiring content every podcast.
[SPEAKER_08]: I look forward to hearing what everyone else has been busy with this month.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm a few at your local neighborhood Bruce here, aka Rolf Williams on the discord, making my submission again because I accidentally gave away a spoiler on my factions intentions during the global campaign, which is annoying.
[SPEAKER_11]: So there's five minute rambling voice note you'll never hear.
[SPEAKER_11]: Anyway, what have I been up to in my hobby?
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm afraid the answer is the same as it's been for many months now, which is designing playtesting and producing the game that you've never heard of or played or seen, but that is what I'm doing.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm deep in the bowels of game making, and
[SPEAKER_11]: to give you a little mini designer diary.
[SPEAKER_11]: The rules that I've created for this game are I've been pretty thoroughly play tested by now.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm very happy with them.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's a little bit of polish to add, but when is it there really?
[SPEAKER_11]: But it is amazing to play it now at half a minute, goodness knows how many times I've done it, but to play it with different people
[SPEAKER_11]: and unless everyone's being extremely polite to me, and I don't think they are, it's a proper game that's playable with rules and balance and fluff and explosive events.
[SPEAKER_11]: So that's good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Where am I at with the process?
[SPEAKER_11]: Having done the rules, I've now got the gargantuan task of writing all the scenarios and the fluff.
[SPEAKER_11]: Game the artwork done.
[SPEAKER_11]: getting the graphic design done, some of which I can do, some of which I need to, I need help with.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I'm very much shifting from the mechanical side to the creative side, just to wrap it all up in a bow before I move on to the practical side of components and cardstock and all that fun, which I suspect would be quite tedious once I start to realize the ergonomic realities of what I've dreamed up.
[SPEAKER_11]: But anyway,
[SPEAKER_11]: That's where I'm at with my game.
[SPEAKER_11]: I apologize.
[SPEAKER_11]: I keep repeating myself in these updates, you know, what am I up to, making a game?
[SPEAKER_11]: And it's on the frame.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's that is what I'm doing.
[SPEAKER_11]: So there we are.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm enjoying the type of the global campaign that Jason's couldn't cocked.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm struggling to keep up a little bit, but that's just my relationship with discord.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I have a pretty good idea of where my faction is and what their intentions are or at least,
[SPEAKER_11]: What I hope they'll do and I'm going to do some games this month.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know what games I'll be But I will be doing a game or two just to represent them in the field of battle So anyway, that's that's really great fun and I will try and hunk it down and just digest it a little more.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just
[SPEAKER_11]: Messages flying up and down is very hard to keep up with sometimes, but it's a great it's testament to the community you've fostered.
[SPEAKER_11]: Anyway, I'm going to go now and do some work and then do some play, which is to say I'm going to play just my game again.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then that's it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Wish you a well and have a lovely May bank holiday ahead for those who celebrate here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hi, it's Dave Colin with my hobby update for April.
[SPEAKER_06]: right for a dog walk for the dog.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I thought that I hadn't really been up too much this month, but of course I can't myself on because I have had a whole list of many on the Pit and Desk, which I've realized have been up to this month.
[SPEAKER_06]: So
[SPEAKER_06]: started off early on the month I was talking to Dan Adam on Kindle Mennies.
[SPEAKER_06]: I bought Necromander head over there, you can listen to that, but I got me thinking of a couple of old Goliath that I had, which I had shaved bald at one point in my youth, and we were talking about that on the Mennies Tat in the Bed and Battlefield's discord.
[SPEAKER_06]: So at the side of the do we tutorial on green stuff sculpting, mohawk
[SPEAKER_06]: Also, Amazon has been looking to get into a Miller strategy battle game, so we have been painting up.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to Rohan and we're going to army the dead, and I also put together a stone of Iraq objective marker made out of Christmas bubble.
[SPEAKER_06]: Which turned out really well, I did paint it like a marble effect kind of thing on it, which worked quite well.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm quite happy with that.
[SPEAKER_06]: also been muckin' about with crunchin' up eggshells for base-basing material.
[SPEAKER_06]: So we put a egg shell on sound, mixed on the base, put on a troll base, and worked really well, works a lot better on a bigger base, they could've got a monster size base.
[SPEAKER_06]: So that was great, happy with how that turned out.
[SPEAKER_06]: Also been working through, just we bet some pieces as a go for plan some space where it was banned.
[SPEAKER_06]: So, my pins are up a crewt, I pinned it up one of the bunches that I'd give as well.
[SPEAKER_06]: and haven't done any more lamenters this month but they're still on on on the board pinned it up what you call them treebeard and and I had a bunch of old made of steck's DIY treemen from years ago that I green stuff sculpted some there's a mad next door neighbor dog doesn't affair to appreciate people recording audio feedback in his back garden
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I dream in, that I put some faces on with green stuff, and pinned to them up as well, and finished it all off by painting an old goblin rock lover.
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's been everything on the Pint and Desk this month.
[SPEAKER_06]: Played one game this month, I should probably...
[SPEAKER_06]: see, um, hi, that's to be reported at necessary.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then the, of course, that ties into the Siege of CarxPork, which has been an absolute
[SPEAKER_06]: brilliant things to jump into this month.
[SPEAKER_06]: I had deleted a couple of like mobile app games that I was just spending way too much time on phone, kind of waste my time on those, and I think just getting into this company in this month has kind of filled that gap with me, but so I'm maybe a wee bit too obsessed.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've jumped in a bit to both feet first and head first at the same time.
[SPEAKER_06]: but it's really great.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's exciting and inspiring.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've been looking at the old like the previous spotter reports from the campaigns and looking at them just for some inspiration, some background on it.
[SPEAKER_06]: What's it been really fun?
[SPEAKER_06]: It's been inspiring me to write some stuff and have it a fun that way too.
[SPEAKER_06]: So yeah, I'm really enjoying that and it's really great sort of just
[SPEAKER_06]: meet in some of the other guys in the desk court who don't probably hang around and see him, you know, threads with.
[SPEAKER_06]: So getting some new connections there with the bedroom battlefield community as well, which is really cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: So yeah, thanks for the pilot.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thanks for the community.
[SPEAKER_06]: And thanks to Jason Mark and Ed for the Carxport campaign, which has gotten off to a great start.
[SPEAKER_06]: So excited for that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm going nowhere massive, literally, I'm on the ring road in Wolverhampton.
[SPEAKER_10]: So I'd call in with my hobby update for April.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's been a great month.
[SPEAKER_10]: What happened?
[SPEAKER_10]: Not a lot of painting, almost actually, no painting.
[SPEAKER_10]: In fact, putting some models together a bit of glue in a bit of spray priming, that kind of thing, but no actual proper painting.
[SPEAKER_10]: However, it's been quite a bit gaming, so I've had two or three games, the biggest and best of which was the amazing call of the crown game that Johnny Watson held over in Nottingham, a couple of weeks ago, and there was about 13 or 14 of us, something like that, maybe more, and it was a massive game of warhammer when all day in a pub,
[SPEAKER_10]: In the room above the pub we had lunch there and great to meet those new people catch up with some old friends.
[SPEAKER_10]: It was really lovely day and nice to meet people in person that I've only met online as well.
[SPEAKER_10]: So yeah, that was fantastic.
[SPEAKER_10]: And then of course we've had the kicking off of the mega global.
[SPEAKER_10]: participation campaign in the fate of Carrex Spork, which Jason has been masterfully putting together in games mastering and it's been brilliant to see all that coming together and just how many people have got involved across the whole community.
[SPEAKER_10]: We've got over 40 players which it's just phenomenal really and that build up a big game of breakout you led is it's
[SPEAKER_10]: ever increased and improved by just how people are going involved in this campaign.
[SPEAKER_10]: So really exciting.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's more games on the horizon as well coming up.
[SPEAKER_10]: So I'm just looking forward to getting out there and meet people playing.
[SPEAKER_10]: But I do need to get back to that painting table because those puzzles are not going to paint themselves.
[SPEAKER_10]: But I'm really looking forward to hearing what everyone else is up to.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I will catch you all soon.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay, dude, Nick.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm at you.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's Sean here from Stoke.
[SPEAKER_04]: First of all, call a longtime listener, great show.
[SPEAKER_04]: Love the community, I love the contributions that you get from both hobby professionals and the average joke like me.
[SPEAKER_04]: My hobby history, well, I go back to the Dark Ages of the late 80s and I gained just about everything that you will have ever heard of them going to a show through and the other side
[SPEAKER_04]: role-playing games, usually into, I don't think I don't really do as computer games, I think I've stopped at the Saber and I could drive with some of the Hedgehog.
[SPEAKER_04]: At the moment, I currently play almost exclusively to pick historical games or Mantic games, I don't think it's better to think Mantic too, lots of company, while running Renton does and the team, always happy to score whatever they got.
[SPEAKER_04]: going whether I get to play very regularly or not.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's another matter, and the saying that Peter Peck really or a 15 millimeter historical manufacturer who makes figures right, rules, and if you don't like games played on grids then you might not be very interested in what I'm good to say because all the surface in the perspective right is played on a grid using squares or hat cities in the case of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: American Civil War, Naval, and pirate ship skiing.
[SPEAKER_04]: As I'll be up to date, then to this month, I'm painting mainly Egyptians for Sudan, 1880s, that's relevant to Peter Pigs game, which is currently being played tested, which is a rewrite of their patrols in the Sudan game.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a small unit
[SPEAKER_04]: but it's got some really innovative mechanics in it.
[SPEAKER_04]: The British are basically small, but they're platoon, probably out, they're probably in the deserts.
[SPEAKER_04]: Perhaps you can set up a Halley graph or rescue an officer or scout of the village and then the dervish are looking to interfere with that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm painting in it.
[SPEAKER_04]: And just in thoughts about it, we will be pretty rubbish on the table.
[SPEAKER_04]: in their white uniforms and red fuses.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm nearly done with that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm a bit slow on it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Painting, mojo comes and goes like with all of us.
[SPEAKER_04]: So they're on the go, not far from the dawn.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm also painting some early first world war Germans for Pittsburgh's Games Square Bashi, which is simply one of the best games ever created.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I don't even know how to help.
[SPEAKER_04]: And similarly, in June, there is Square Bushing Day at Splatlefield puppies in Daven 3, right in the middle of England, run by a salmon's heart from the birth and club.
[SPEAKER_04]: And a friend of mine, eight, is currently printing a 15-mile American army.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that would be 1917, 1918.
[SPEAKER_04]: The doughboys, I'm looking forward to going hold of that printing, three-week printing,
[SPEAKER_04]: It seems like a bad magical voodoo, but he killed something good or come to him that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And finally, I've just received through the post for some time.
[SPEAKER_04]: I am an American sublaw nut.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not the real thoughts on travel seats and model of thoughts into produced by a Peter Pegg.
[SPEAKER_04]: They released it, probably, I don't know, 20, 25 years ago and I've wanted one, but ever since, and I finally took the plunge and brought it.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm doing research on how that's what I've looked in the mid-1860s and when I get it done, I'll push the picture and hopefully start to engage with community a bit more now, it's handy on Discord, so I'll get involved on that site.
[SPEAKER_04]: Keep up the great work, it's really my favorite.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll be podcast that I listen to at the moment.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a great range
[SPEAKER_04]: of subjects that you talk about and the guests that you get on are incredibly inspiring and usually you need to be spending so much money.
[SPEAKER_04]: So let's keep up the good work and hope to be spitting.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hello.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is Darren Nared from the Discord calling in from California with a hubby update.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's been a few months since I've
[SPEAKER_09]: last few months.
[SPEAKER_09]: I can't quite remember why but I finished some stuff from this didn't really know what to do next.
[SPEAKER_09]: I got a little stuck trying to finish some models from the newer version of Dungeon saga and realize they just don't like them.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are these some kind of weird
[SPEAKER_09]: evil elf type lady figs and then these like kind of chaos store-free figures and you know what they're just kind of annoying to paint so anyway that pause me for a while but now I'm gonna paint a unit of beast man and I'm starting on another small half unit
[SPEAKER_09]: We're kind of in that, I've been working on some elves, on other unit of elf archers from Oathmark and just to do it in a bunch of different hero metal hero models for Oathmark, those are really great and all the kind of the kings and the witches and the different the hero models for Oathmark a great and fun to paint.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then I find myself like I've been like, well, I'm then I painted a crack and this kind of like a D&D model, big a big huge square basically.
[SPEAKER_09]: and a hardcore, another Dandy monsters, a pink team monsters, and a couple of new developments with my gaming.
[SPEAKER_09]: Number one, which is great, is that I've joined a Dandy game on Thursday nights on Zoom or Discord, and that's awesome.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've got to go on about five or six sessions now.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm really enjoying that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I get to play rather than DMs.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the Dolman would sit in.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's really fun.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then the other thing is that I kind of splurged and I bought a new game called Guards of Trader's Tool, that it's from the UK.
[SPEAKER_09]: So it's shipping from there, taking forever, and it's this kind of...
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know some of you will know more about it than me, but it's got a bunch of cards and some specialized dice and basically you play like fantasy cops, fantasy, you know, townguards and you go around and try to like, there's kind of random crimes happen, or random problems happen, you go around and try to like.
[SPEAKER_09]: sort of solve the problems without like this, you know, the people of this city too much.
[SPEAKER_09]: So what you do is you set up kind of a town square, I'm going to show you town square to play in like a three by three.
[SPEAKER_09]: So the box comes with a whole bunch of like towns, people, miniatures, a bunch of like kind of civilian, non-combatten miniatures, and I already have a bunch of those.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm looking forward to that, looking forward to getting out in a few weeks and meantime I'm kind of like fold out all my like sort of villager type of miniatures and I've been touching them up a little bit.
[SPEAKER_09]: Some of those are really all those gluing them a bunch of them just some bigger bases and that was like oh well this is 1983 TSR model was in 1992 you know ratham a real part of the miniature so that was kind of fun
[SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, I think I've rambled way too long, so I'm gonna let you all go, but hope everyone's doing well.
[SPEAKER_09]: And thanks for the podcast as always.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cheers.
[SPEAKER_01]: Greetings, everyone.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mark Snackle will from the discord.
[SPEAKER_01]: Updates, working on more epic warpaths, marauders, and I'll drop picks of those when they're completed.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what really has my tail wagging is what I've nearly finished.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is the last of 48 infantry from the Lord of the Rings Battle of Adora Spockset.
[SPEAKER_01]: Once archers of Rohan are completed, I will only have the heroes remaining from the set.
[SPEAKER_01]: We plan on playing the Burn the City scenario.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really excited for it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know if I buckled down and finished the heroes, at least the ones on foot.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the game would be a more interesting and enjoyable to play, but we'll see.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're really eager to give it a go.
[SPEAKER_01]: On the note of
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Hill Tribesman burning and looting.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm wondering if I would enjoy the game pillage.
[SPEAKER_01]: It certainly seems aligned with my gaming aspirations.
[SPEAKER_01]: The hobby element looks fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: I may ask all of you about that on the discord.
[SPEAKER_01]: See if you recommend it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I will certainly post my archers when they are done for your entertainment and hopefully your inspiration.
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope my my meetup progress is enjoyable and inspiring for all of you as yours is for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it, best wishes, and happy gaming from Central California.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hi, Matthew, Martin here, Martin S on the Discord with my answer to the question of the month, Hobbit update.
[SPEAKER_03]: At the moment, there's a bit of figure prep on the go, still winding through some mass-rebasing of 15 millimeter, bit biblical error troops.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's nearing the end, seems to have taken forever.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've also got some 28 millimeter M4 AUX slowly making progress.
[SPEAKER_03]: And lots of other small projects or ends in the fire.
[SPEAKER_03]: However, the main distraction was despite my vow
[SPEAKER_03]: I've picked up a 15-millimeter Polynesian islander force from a small company called Mick Yarrow Miniatures in Yorkshire.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is because there's a tournament being announced early August in Gloucestershire.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the theme for that is America's end Pacific, so any DBA army from North South America, all of the Pacific, so it's two tempting.
[SPEAKER_03]: So they'll get a rapid paint job, should be relatively simple, then mainly skin hair and some sort of grass skirt while the lagoum shouldn't take long.
[SPEAKER_03]: The other toolmen related stuff going on are ran my own DBA toolmen last Saturday, which went well.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm working towards another toolment, which I'm attending in middle of May, which is a 15 millimeter DVA matched pairs tournament.
[SPEAKER_03]: You take a pair of armies, which were historical enemies and your opponent picks, which one of the two he wants to use.
[SPEAKER_03]: That should be exciting, I always good.
[SPEAKER_03]: I usually see lots of strange things turn up, armies which wouldn't normally see,
[SPEAKER_03]: the likes of day during open tournaments.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've also got a 28 mil dragon rampant tournament to go to in Nannyton, run by the country's simiters.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're a good bunch and it's always worth going to that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Taking a friend from Farbra.
[SPEAKER_03]: So this could be a bit of a long day, lots of driving but get four games in, should be worth it.
[SPEAKER_03]: As always, many thanks for the blog, the newsletter and the podcasts.
[SPEAKER_03]: I look forward to hearing what the other guys are up to.
[SPEAKER_03]: Many thanks, kids.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hello, nothing.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's Ed here from Sussex on the bedroom battle fields discord.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm just calling in with my hobby update for April.
[SPEAKER_12]: So April has been about two things.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's been about a second edition 48 and about Blood Ball first.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's pretty quick or an easy one to do.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm just starting running a
[SPEAKER_12]: Got in a couple of practice games and repainted the bases to make it a little bit clearer for people to see which positional switch and played the first game of the league on Sunday, which was a no-no draw, bit of a messy game, but I was pretty exhausted from a very busy day of game on Sunday, which is really where the
[SPEAKER_12]: heart of my, uh, my hobby update really is because I spent this month trying to get everything prepped, scenery painted rules checked lists written surprises come up with as i g and a
[SPEAKER_12]: a game on an 18 foot by 4 foot board with six players aside.
[SPEAKER_12]: Each player controlling about 1000 points, plus some psychers, plus some extra models, which I had brought along to come on as reinforcements at various points in the game, including an upstomper and some space marines
[SPEAKER_12]: all sorts.
[SPEAKER_12]: We played full turns over, I mean, the game itself probably lasted five, six hours plus so that I can break down and that's it on the half hours all total.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, and it was a, it was a fantastic day of gaming.
[SPEAKER_12]: Lots of fun was had by everyone.
[SPEAKER_12]: Jay and Adrian,
[SPEAKER_12]: And Clim from the discord all came and joined in and they I think they had a good time too long side a group of old hammer Sort of here a hammer players from my local club So yeah, it was a it was a big affair took lots of book about being but once it was all under way and On the day Yeah, it really ran itself very smoothly
[SPEAKER_12]: Having me as the GM and not as a player, I think made a big difference to that because it just went a good sort of step in and give rules, clarifications, rulings, that sort of thing, help keep people focused and keep the game moving.
[SPEAKER_12]: you know, we weren't scoring points the way my club runs narrative games as we look at the table afterwards and we decided what the balance of play is in terms of you know missions achieved and you know how much of your army have natural act kind of stuff and what was the narrative of the game that's really how we decide victories and losses in our club.
[SPEAKER_12]: So I did the same thing
[SPEAKER_12]: battle which was based around a landing pad.
[SPEAKER_12]: The York's probably just about had the edge on it and there are other places where the Marines just about had an edge.
[SPEAKER_12]: So it was really a draw so I needed a tiebreaker and I'd made a joke earlier in the day about student biscuits from each other's place of biscuits because both the attackers and defenders had a play at biscuits.
[SPEAKER_12]: And Jay actually from the discourse successfully stole five biscuits from the imperial defenders
[SPEAKER_12]: So that's what decided the battle.
[SPEAKER_12]: The Orcs took the biscuits and decided a close fort.
[SPEAKER_12]: That decided a close fort.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's all day and great fun was had all around.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm looking forward to reading the next one next year already.
[SPEAKER_12]: Already got some ideas.
[SPEAKER_12]: Running around in my head.
[SPEAKER_12]: Anyway, thanks very much and hope you all have a great day.
[SPEAKER_12]: Cheers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hello, bedroom battle fields crew.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just a quick to update to say that for the month of April, it's mostly been
[SPEAKER_02]: Necromander, Necromander, and more Necromander.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got my galiths mostly painted, a few more still to go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Working on Esher, finishing up some rat skins, trying to narrow down the paint schemes for the corridor, and trying to collect some of the missing vansar.
[SPEAKER_02]: was selling some old more hammerment, just got a few of them, and got some vans out there, a couple of repeats, but you know, different paint job, different hair color, it all works.
[SPEAKER_02]: But yes, I hope that this time next month, I can report on the first couple of games of my purge, the other highs campaign, in which the Ecclesiarchy
[SPEAKER_02]: withered rows, try and do something about all those heretics that unstares in the cremander.
[SPEAKER_00]: Huge thanks to everyone who submitted a clip throughout the month of April 2026 and if you'd like to submit a clip this month you could do so by head over to BedroomBattlefields.com forward slash voice mail.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right now on to my own hobby progress then
[SPEAKER_00]: So I played a game of Hobgoblin with a good doctor sport recently and he will not be surprised to learn that Lord Marshall Dicklong fellow was once again on the losing side.
[SPEAKER_00]: We played the Burn & Out scenario from the Hobgoblin book and unfortunately I couldn't stop the tavern or the brewery from being destroyed by the undead.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nevertheless, it was a really fun game, a lot of cinematic moments, and as ever, I look forward to the next one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dick will rise again, mark my words, he will.
[SPEAKER_00]: I also want to say thanks to Calum for bringing me some of his excellent 3D printed house, which I'm looking forward to getting a start on.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got my green spray paint in PVA Glurade, I just need to get down the beach.
[SPEAKER_00]: Would we run this weekend to collect some sand?
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll undoubtedly have some pictures for the discord in the coming weeks, and I'm looking forward to introducing some elevation to what has been a very Dutch table top up until now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Whilst we're on the subject of thanks as well, I'll give another one to Lesson and Mark, who very kindly sent me his copies of Hero Kids and RPG Kids.
[SPEAKER_00]: After hearing me talk about amazing tales on a recent episode.
[SPEAKER_00]: These games in their adventure packs that come along with them are designed for kids aged 4-7 and I'm really looking forward to trying them out with my daughter.
[SPEAKER_00]: So thanks again for that Mark.
[SPEAKER_00]: I really do appreciate it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And off the back of this I went and bought a book of maps from Hero Forge,
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a ring-bound hardback that you can open up and sit on the table in front of you and you can choose from any one of the 30 fantasy maps in the book.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've got everything from campsites and beaches to snow and lava rivers and they're gridded with like 1 inch squares that runs 12 by 16 and it makes for a really brilliant sort of travel RPG or miniature games set up so.
[SPEAKER_00]: If your interest is peaked, I'll have a picture and a link in the next edition of the mini game on newsletter, which you could find a bedroom battlefield.com slash email.
[SPEAKER_00]: And finally, on the paint and table, I just finished up my three Ralph Arthur Dragons for my 15 mill hobgoblin armies.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did a really simple minimalist paint job on each, but I'm really pleased to have the term now.
[SPEAKER_00]: And also painted another setting edition space marine, and another completely made up 90s foot pocket inspired scheme.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll keep doing so until I run out of space marines, or until someone stops me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, that is it for this episode of the table top miniature hobby podcast.
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, one last thing, one last thing I've got a tiny wee favour task, you might hit me talking about this on the last episode, but if you could spare me 10 seconds, literally 10 seconds to let me know how you typically listen to this podcast.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I would massively appreciate it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You could do so by going to BedroomBattlefield.com
[SPEAKER_00]: and there's just two boxes to check there, like I said, it'll take less than 10 seconds probably and I would massively appreciate if you're able to do that, that link again is bedroombattlefield.com forward slash fast.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, that literally is it now a promise thanks as always for listening and I look forward to catching up again on the next one.
