[SPEAKER_00]: Hello and welcome to the table top miniature hobby podcast.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Matthew with you here, and it's time for a bedroom battlefields community update What's everyone been painting playing or planning for throughout the month of June 2026.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's find out
[SPEAKER_10]: Hello everyone, Kalam, aka Dr. Sporkier, and firstly apologies to you all, as I was a bit late submitting this, so this is my May submission, and I'll submit one for June at the end of the month.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's been a bit of a haptic month, but I'll be in house being hurt.
[SPEAKER_10]: I've made the slightly misguided decision to batch paint nearly 50 figures for my jeans to look
[SPEAKER_10]: but so far it's been going well.
[SPEAKER_10]: If a little plotting.
[SPEAKER_10]: Carrack's book for Jason's big game, newly-cristened boil gets in August is test printing as I record this and should be done and on its way to him later in June.
[SPEAKER_10]: I did release a modular rampart kit in mid-May as I have been thoroughly enjoying some siege-based games of fifth edition.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm hoped to try more soon.
[SPEAKER_10]: which, patchily, should be happening later in June, may as being fairly quiet on the gaming front, but I have a big siege game planned, which should be great fun.
[SPEAKER_10]: And sorry, I haven't been so active on the disco, most social media this month, life has been a bit hectic.
[SPEAKER_10]: On the plus side, it means that most of the episode will be a nice prize, I'm good to find out what you will be up to.
[SPEAKER_10]: Anyway, thanks as always for the podcast Matthew.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'll catch you all in a month.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hopefully.
[SPEAKER_09]: I Matthew is Mark.
[SPEAKER_09]: Just calling in with my hobby progress update for June 2026.
[SPEAKER_09]: I haven't really done that much.
[SPEAKER_09]: this month.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll be wise, a little bit here and there, but it's been so hot and it's been busy as well, it's been a lot's going on with work and family and all sorts.
[SPEAKER_09]: So not as much painting as I would have had to, but a little bit done, a bit of progress, but not really kind of getting there.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it's always a bit of a difficult challenge.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm curious to parallel the people feel
[SPEAKER_09]: whether or not I just kind of have done more in the winter or the summer before.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I've kind of just did quite a lot in the in the autumn and the winter and the spring and I just think I've been burned out from it really so I don't want to push myself into painting it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I haven't got that mojo because I think you really want to really enjoy it and make the most of your time doing it.
[SPEAKER_09]: So that's kind of been that, but in terms of games and stuff, then that's been a bit more active.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've got managed to get a couple of games in, I've got some more games on the horizon.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've got a games day coming up on the 12th of July that under preparing things for that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to be running.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the sort of last final preparations on that and that should be good to go.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've got game coming up, oh, two days of gaming, and a bootleg tribute-boil event, which is happening at the start of August.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm looking forward to that.
[SPEAKER_09]: My kids are going to see BTS on Monday, the Sick of July.
[SPEAKER_09]: but you're talking about this stadium.
[SPEAKER_09]: So while I'm down there waiting for four hours while my wife and kids are watching K-pop, then I'm gonna be meeting up with Ed Scott, who's on our server, who I met at Boyle, and we're gonna play a game, which is pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_09]: It sounds like it's gonna be taking place in a new venue.
[SPEAKER_09]: which will be opening scene in North East London.
[SPEAKER_09]: So if you are that neck of the woods, then we'll give you a bear and update that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I will feed back about how good this new place is.
[SPEAKER_09]: It looks great anyway.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that's kind of it really at the moment, but all fun and games and I'm looking to put to see what everyone else is doing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Really enjoy the hobby update last month and I've really like how international and there it is and how many different people with different takes on the hobby, it's really, really cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: This feels something like going to confession.
[SPEAKER_03]: Bless me, Father, for I have sinned and all that sort of thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I thought it'd be good to tell you what I'm up to.
[SPEAKER_03]: Purely because anyone following the campaign will be wondering why it's so quiet.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I think is his only quiet in a public sense.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm busy as heck in the middle of discussions with seven active players.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sadly, we another play the eighth play about out this week.
[SPEAKER_03]: So we've got a new NPC faction.
[SPEAKER_03]: But having written their great long individual and of season reports, I've now got sought out all the intricacies of their orders and reinforcements and whatnot.
[SPEAKER_03]: But in the meantime, it means I've been getting on with painting.
[SPEAKER_03]: and modelling.
[SPEAKER_03]: Almost completed my war games at Lantic, Halfling Cavalry, Unit of Ten, but I use the bow arms and quivers from their Halfling militia set so that their mounted archers and will be ideal, a scouts for the very, very resin army.
[SPEAKER_03]: I modeled a couple of them,
[SPEAKER_03]: in kind of like catting poses.
[SPEAKER_03]: The helmets are off hanging on their harnesses.
[SPEAKER_03]: The bows are in kind of the holders at one side.
[SPEAKER_03]: There are those in another.
[SPEAKER_03]: Once got a tank at in his hand sort of thing and it means I can use them for some story pictures where they're just riding around and revealing story.
[SPEAKER_03]: I like the banner I came up with, my son was a bit confused by it's him, but it's a love that, but I just explained to him that, well, no, quite a lot of banners in the past had hearts on them, you know, it could be the heart of a lion, it could mean you've got to stout at that kind of thing, and I think he's convinced.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've also made more progress on my lollipop stick, forty-five scaven camp with its towers, warm machine towers that have this kind of windless affair behind them, which you can turn to move the tower.
[SPEAKER_03]: Big ones for the walk-lightening cannons, and I'm going to do some small ones for some rattling guns, and getting on with some dwarven artillery, they're actually
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they were 8th edition Warhammer, but they used in the old world now.
[SPEAKER_03]: But that's going to be part of a force, which the dwarven King of Carat Borgo is sending down to a bolster, the garrison, hopefully, if Lord Toto of the Arabiati in Campagrata agrees to it.
[SPEAKER_03]: But he's sending down these two pieces of artillery because they've got no artillery down there.
[SPEAKER_03]: And a unit of oathmarked war flight infantry spearmen, I'll have to come up with the
[SPEAKER_03]: my own rules for them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's exactly difficult.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think doors can have spears in an official armulus in eight edition, but I'm just going to say they have got them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, that's what I've been up to.
[SPEAKER_03]: Bye-bye.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hello Matthew, this is Sam from Austin, Texas, Blood Knight on the Discord.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've been kind of MIA for a while due to work schedule being crazy busy, but wanted to call in and kind of keep you guys posing to chip in with the question or the most of the hobby update.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've been working on quite a few things.
[SPEAKER_06]: I kind of generally operate by the rules cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: So what that basically means is I have a whole lot of little projects going on at the same time, but nothing finished.
[SPEAKER_06]: But the nice thing about that is I don't get burned out, and I'm always enjoying whatever I tend to pick up and continue working on.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like we have been working on building a couple of small armies for the old world.
[SPEAKER_06]: For my sons and I to play.
[SPEAKER_06]: They decided they wanted to play either the Empire or Protonian Knights.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I wanted to play some Orts and Goblins.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've been slowly kind of building and customizing some Goblin Wolfwriters using.
[SPEAKER_06]: the walls from the Oathmark hole for riders because I think they're a little bit more menacing looking a little bit beefier a little meaner looking instead of the traditional older GW walls.
[SPEAKER_06]: 7 kind of building those having fun with that and then you know while the Bretonian army and empire army continue to grow they'll their way though wait till I get to them at some point but you know getting my boys involved as well it just has been a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've also picked up some of the older ogres, the metal ogres from the Warhammer Fantasy Ogres from the 80s and 90s in the Empire and the Imperial Ogres as well as the Bad Nanzogres.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just that stuff is just so full of character and charm that I just had to grab those.
[SPEAKER_06]: to help grew out for those armies.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm almost finished with my war band of witch hunters for more time, so I'm having fun, you know, working on that.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think I want some done with that up to probably start building another and opposing war band, most likely undead with the vampire and some zombies and skeletons and so forth.
[SPEAKER_06]: Painting-wise, I've been painting mostly custom instrument scratchable terrain for hero quest along with some with an original two-part quest for a three-year quest that I'm going to put together.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm getting ready for act.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm actually, but I don't usually do this, but it's got a birthday coming up in July.
[SPEAKER_06]: decided to kind of invite some handful of friends over to have kind of a big gaming day where we have like a two-part quest.
[SPEAKER_06]: One, one outdoors and then one that leads back into the original dungeon and have some fun with that.
[SPEAKER_06]: So that'll be fun.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have built some custom stairs, scratch built stairs for Hero Quest as well as a you know a test dungeon room.
[SPEAKER_06]: All of which you can see if you want to check out the photos on my Instagram.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just it's at slot fee S's and Sam LOT like Tom F. I you'll also see some comics work, you know, my hobby used to be drawing comics and creating comics that turned into my career.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's what I do.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is my day job.
[SPEAKER_06]: but so now my hobby has become basically building painting miniatures into rain for a tabletop games.
[SPEAKER_06]: So yeah, that's what I would have been up to.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I hope looking forward to hearing what everybody else has been up to you.
[SPEAKER_06]: And thank you for the awesome podcast.
[SPEAKER_06]: I always look forward to hearing the new episodes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Keep up the great work.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey Matthew, Tom W. here from the discord.
[SPEAKER_07]: Long time listener, second time caller.
[SPEAKER_07]: I haven't recorded any of these hobby updates or about each year or half, since I said my first one in, but I've been drifting between all sorts of different hobbies, RPGs, solar RPGs, and most recently, solo board games.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I kind of drifted away from tabletop working for a little while, but because boil is coming up, I drifted back into it,
[SPEAKER_07]: bedroom battle fields community.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was able to find out about the old hammer for them and join that and because of the really warm welcome I got there.
[SPEAKER_07]: I decided to go ahead and book my tickets to boil.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got my plane tickets.
[SPEAKER_07]: Got my hotel.
[SPEAKER_07]: and I'm going to figure out the train and look really forward to seeing medium much people there, maybe even playing some games, playing some space fleet, road trader, whatever I can get into.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're just watching, you know, playing to be there the whole three days, but that's great.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I really getting back into the tabletop gaming, so I wanted to get back in, but I didn't want a big project.
[SPEAKER_07]: because I'm such a slow painter, so what I decided to start with to get back into it is a game called PaleoHot.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know if you're familiar, you probably are, since you're such a big fan of...
[SPEAKER_07]: Some of the blades and heroes, it's by Nick Wright, Paleo Hunt, it's caveman, solo co-op, a solo slash co-op game where you can hunt beasts in the, you know, meanderthal times or whatever.
[SPEAKER_07]: And with this game, it uses, of course, the song and blades and hero activation engine, what's a little bit of tweaks.
[SPEAKER_07]: And the really cool thing
[SPEAKER_07]: animals, and prehistoric actually some, you know, woly rhinoceros and woly mammoths and things on the Pendrake in sight.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I'm doing it at 10 millimeters, which means I can use a very tiny piece of the dining table 60 centimeter by 60 centimeter, playing area.
[SPEAKER_07]: And the only thing that I couldn't find is, you know, Pendrake and doesn't have any 10 millimeter caveman.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I'm gonna use Greek,
[SPEAKER_07]: they seem to be like the most primitive-looking 10-millimeter figures I could find that have spears.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to try to do some really tiny epoxy.
[SPEAKER_07]: Converging, putting some heavier beers and heavier hair on them and paint up there, three tunics still look maybe a little bit more like first in.
[SPEAKER_07]: And hopefully I can pull it off and make them look like my cavemen, but the animals should be just perfect, little horses, little bears, little
[SPEAKER_07]: dogs for the hounds that are in the rules.
[SPEAKER_07]: But anyways, pretty stoked about trying out paleo hunt.
[SPEAKER_07]: And the other big hog popping up that I have.
[SPEAKER_07]: And since I am getting back into all this stuff, I'm rebuilding a new,
[SPEAKER_07]: DIY airbrush, Brad Booth, I had to trash my old one when we moved to a different place with different power requirements.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I got all the components, a little duct fan, and using a flower pot for the shroud.
[SPEAKER_07]: And anyways, I've got that about 90% complete of already tested in it works.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm just putting the finishing touches on it.
[SPEAKER_07]: So maybe get some LED lights in there.
[SPEAKER_07]: And then
[SPEAKER_07]: I guess I'll be rushing again and an airbrush combined with 10 millimeter figures I found in the past and you can just crank them out in, you know, a day really like an hour, you can crank out your whole force, but
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, really stoked to be getting back in the tabletop gaming, stoked about boil and meeting everyone on this great community.
[SPEAKER_07]: So thanks to you and thanks to everyone in the community for such great hobby updates.
[SPEAKER_07]: I listen religiously, even if I don't send in my own updates, I listen to everybody's every month and they're all great.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I know what you're thinking here, you're all scramblin' at your phones and computers to quickly get in touch with Tom and let him know about Boyle, but don't worry, he sent me a full watt message, so here it is.
[SPEAKER_07]: and then the big change is obviously, or that boils not happening, which I was excited about going to, but it's very cool that certain members of the old hammer community are going to do
[SPEAKER_07]: intend to make it over there to not have, which is pretty, if only just to watch some games, obviously, for not August, but another big addition to my mate update is I kept talking about paleo hunt, my apologies to the author that game Nick Wright and Ganesha Games, and everybody listening, I was messing that up, it's paleo diet, actually sorry, paleo diet is the game,
[SPEAKER_07]: and ready to be painted, but still haven't gotten any game put together for that.
[SPEAKER_07]: So that's pretty much my dream enough to help in vacationing with friends and such.
[SPEAKER_07]: So anyways, thanks to everybody, thanks again to Matthew for putting again the community and look forward to everybody's updates.
[SPEAKER_12]: I've asked you, it's a case for unsuspector, really bad.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hobby Month for me this month, as I mentioned in last month's update, this summer is quite slow for me being a gardener, and the recent really hot weather has made it very tiring at work, and it's hard to focus on Hobby, and it'll serve a lot to do with other things at the weekends and things in the summer, so not that much,
[SPEAKER_12]: rather than working on my advanced HeroQuister enemies for the next campaign mission.
[SPEAKER_12]: I actually a while back picked up the remake of the original HeroQuister and I want to try and get that painted up fairly quick so I might play that with my stepdaughters and I thought I have a go at the slapped top technique that I've heard bandied around a lot but never tried and
[SPEAKER_12]: I've just tested out one of the zombies and actually came up quite nicely, perfectly good standard for what I need and very quick.
[SPEAKER_12]: So I think I'm going to work at the rest of the set using that technique to might be something
[SPEAKER_12]: It would all get me going and feel like I'm achieving something in a short space of time.
[SPEAKER_12]: The other thing I've done is I made a little start on painting a cacademon from the doom board game I've had sitting around for a long time and I've always liked the idea of painting it so I thought maybe I'll just try and work at something I've been looking forward painting for a long time so made a little start on that to a long way to go to finish.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, I look forward to hearing new everyone else's updates and hopefully have something a bit more interesting happening that's month.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hi Matthew, it's Martin here, a Martin S on the list called down in Hampshire, and will hop you up date for June.
[SPEAKER_04]: On the game in front, I've managed the usual DBA games, including a six battle campaign with a friend of mine.
[SPEAKER_04]: We play the arts, some games in the British Isles in the 11th century, have the scots
[SPEAKER_04]: nation in this and took over the Welsh and the Viking territories, but then the norms turn up and turn everything around for them.
[SPEAKER_04]: Before conquering the English and making it quite a historical campaign after a fashion.
[SPEAKER_04]: I played at a hordes of the things tournament in Bristol, where I took my alien spiders army.
[SPEAKER_04]: I managed to come third from the bottom, but it was still fun, and my car share made cane proper third as in podium place using a Norse mythology army, including shape-shifting bears and velcroy and such like
[SPEAKER_04]: Also, I've managed some solo gaming with a couple of campaigns, one-eighths, and one horse and musket, and I also squeezed in a game of rebels and patriots as a solo effort.
[SPEAKER_04]: Mark on the discord is running and imaginations can stay in a couple of weeks time as have a ton of recording and I wanted to get an idea of how the rebels and patriots rules work, so that was good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Paintings have been a little bit slow due to the heat, but I have managed to finish 30 orc swordsmen, 28-9 meter M4 figures to join the 30 arches like finished last month,
[SPEAKER_04]: and it made some progress on 15 millimeter Polynesians and some 28 millimeter science fiction lizard men are theory crew for a sinus rampant rampant force.
[SPEAKER_04]: Coming up in July, looking forward to two DBA tournaments, one in the pit district, which is an open, where you can take any army of likes on you to pick something for that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And also there's one at devices towards the end of July.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a large convention called Attack Devices, and somebody's running a DBA to on them there.
[SPEAKER_04]: You have to take at least three chariots to that.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's a quarter of the army, roughly.
[SPEAKER_04]: I would need to pick an army for that too.
[SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, thank you for all the podcasts and the blog.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm looking forward to hearing what other people have submitted for this.
[SPEAKER_04]: Cheers now, bye-bye.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hello Bedroom Battlefields crew.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is James.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, this month has been an interesting one.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was able to get the rest of my Goliath gang painted up and working on a few other things for Necromancer.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I'm actually going to contact with a fellow up in Washington, just across the border from where I am, who is interested in playing in 1995, managed to get together at a game shop up there and we had two games, just a standard gang fight for the first gang first game and the rescue scenario for the second,
[SPEAKER_08]: I was ruthlessly cut down by his esher gang on both occasions, although the second half I just just died in the last few seconds while trying to get my gang away and rescue him.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, it was a massacre, but so much fun.
[SPEAKER_08]: The highlight of my game one was when Razza, the Ganga, decided to leap down on top of one of his Esha, damaging them both and causing no real difference to the game, but it was so much fun that it was the highlight.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_08]: There, a new model syndrome certainly happened to the gullights that I painted only just finished.
[SPEAKER_08]: But yes, it was great.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're already looking forward to an X1 and he wants to start a campaign with his friend.
[SPEAKER_08]: Interestingly, over in Portland, there is a
[SPEAKER_08]: a gaming club and they are having a hiatus this summer and I've been speaking to someone there and we're looking on having a necroman day, some Monday or the next month or in August.
[SPEAKER_08]: where we play N95 all day.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I am currently painting up some enforcers for that game.
[SPEAKER_08]: It should be great.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think we've got about seven people who want to spend the whole day pretending it's 1995.
[SPEAKER_08]: Sounds great to me.
[SPEAKER_08]: on the looking forward to it side, mostly it's just painting up more necrumunder, trying to fill in the gaps with things I don't have already, playing some games with the kids.
[SPEAKER_08]: We just had a game actually where it was my Goliath versus who was it versus my son's going and it
[SPEAKER_08]: Good luck everyone.
[SPEAKER_08]: Keep painting.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know I will and I will update you as soon as the Necroman Day is set in stone.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hi Mathew, this is GGA from the Forces of Fantasy podcast.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have not been keeping up very well with all of these hubby updates, although I do listen to your podcast of course, and I enjoy it greatly.
[SPEAKER_11]: However, for some reason I never find a time to send anything in, so now that I do every time I'd like to contribute a little bit.
[SPEAKER_11]: I am currently running a challenge over at the Crown of Command Discord called the Summer of Scenery.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have done one month already, two more months to go, and during this month I painted up the Citadel walls and fences set.
[SPEAKER_11]: I believe this came out around seven edition around the same time as that fortified manner kit and some other terrain pieces that they put out
[SPEAKER_11]: I used mostly contrast paints for this, try it a little bit of the slapjob method, although I think I overdid it a little bit on the gray seared that I put over the chaos black spray.
[SPEAKER_11]: Anyway, I'm really happy with how they turned out, some pictures in the front of command discord if you'd like to take a look.
[SPEAKER_11]: As for planning, I'm also going to do something for the next month of this challenge, which is going to be a beast man hurt stone.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's going to be a train piece that I'm going to build from scratch using styrofoam.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I plan on building it pretty basic with a little bit of decoration but not too much.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then,
[SPEAKER_11]: Every time I play my beast man, I'm going to, if I win a battle against another race, I'm going to boot one of their weapons as a trophy onto that herd stone.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, hopefully, in a few years, it will have two or three weapons on it, maybe, if that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Furthermore, I have some layers that I am working on, specifically the, oh, what's it called again, that one machine, the goblin humor, Malikai Mackayson's goblin humor.
[SPEAKER_11]: The original one from six edition, I have,
[SPEAKER_11]: lined up for painting, I am painting that, as well as some Slayer characters, some German Slayers and Dragon Slayers and Unrem Ironfest.
[SPEAKER_11]: After that, I don't know yet what I'm going to do so as for planning, it's going to stick to these things for now.
[SPEAKER_11]: Playing is also one of the things that you're asking about.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have been playing a couple of games of the Lord of the Rings strategy battle game, or a Middle East strategy battle game, as it is called.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now, these games, I use other than just some solo play to brush up on the rules a little bit.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the results of these games, I look for the great summer campaign that is going on on the Battle of Fields discord.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, I hope that I can contribute a little bit to a smashing victory for the side of Evil, because, well, there was an Urokai army and I wanted to play those love rings games, so that's why I thought.
[SPEAKER_11]: Playing for the side of Evil and turning up with the Urokai Force, it would be a good idea to get this rolling and combine a few things over here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you very much for your podcast.
[SPEAKER_11]: Like I said, I greatly enjoy it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Keep up the good work.
[SPEAKER_11]: And hopefully I will talk to you again soon.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, Matthew, this is Carl Palson.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, she goes skirmish work games here in beautiful and very, very hot Chicago Illinois, USA.
[SPEAKER_05]: Juniors been a great month.
[SPEAKER_05]: We are two rounds deep into,
[SPEAKER_05]: our necramundah vintage necramundah campaign is a combination of a lot of work by the group.
[SPEAKER_05]: We have eight players, so each the twice a month we're getting together and have in four tables of necramundah going.
[SPEAKER_05]: When I say tables, you know, we mean multi-layer, toy
[SPEAKER_05]: And we're going to have for a long time to get the terrain necessary for this, a lot of the guys in painting up or already had, but sometimes painting up vintage, neck or mind of miniatures and some new ones mixed in as well, we're using the neck or mind of community addition rules, which is an update of the vintage rules minor update by the Yachtrat community.
[SPEAKER_05]: We like that one quite a bit, and it's just really cool to see the excitement and the enjoyment everyone's getting out of this.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's, uh, I think for a lot of folks, the vintage Nicarment is kind of a hobby, bucket list item, and it's certainly, uh, working them all for us.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I hope y'all are having a great time this summer, playing great games, painting minis, et cetera, et cetera.
[SPEAKER_05]: I had about a year by a Chicago or one of the stuff on through one and uh, play game with us.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let me know, but uh, have a great summer.
[SPEAKER_05]: Bye, bye.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hello everyone, it's me again with my update for this month, and, as usual, with the arrival of the summer, comes increased child-rungling duties, but I have managed to work some hobby into that.
[SPEAKER_10]: The wee one and I have made some gaslands curves together, which they've actually
[SPEAKER_10]: We, and had a go, at sculpting some dungeon tiles out of play-doh, and casting up a few copies, which, actually, can recommend as a fun kid's activity.
[SPEAKER_10]: On my side of things, I've continued to paint my hoard of gene steel occultists, and I painted up two siege towers, which were put to very good use in a big siege game.
[SPEAKER_10]: Which is another thing I can recommend as a spectacularly fun way to spend a Saturday.
[SPEAKER_10]: The assorted hold of Oaks and Chaos absolutely battered down an Elven Fortress, storming the battlements and crushing walls to dust before finishing off any remaining resistance, charging into the city to cause complete mayhem.
[SPEAKER_10]: Pretty much the perfect activity for us, someone's afternoon.
[SPEAKER_10]: As always, thank you to Matthew for the wonderful podcast, and I look forward to hearing everyone else's hobbling exploits.
[SPEAKER_10]: Catch you next month!
[SPEAKER_01]: My son's wedding was lovely and went so well.
[SPEAKER_01]: And upon return, I dove into painting again.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was so excited to get back at it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yet I proceeded to get sick with what is turned into a nasty lingering cough.
[SPEAKER_01]: So regardless, ever forward, I posted on the discord, my lannisters with pull arms that I finished last weekend for Song of Ice and Fire.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pleased with them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I'm finishing up my two-fetched houses for middle-earth SPG.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to take a while, the tutorial is very nice, but has numerous steps.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do have motivation to complete them as a friend of mine is going to run a Barron's War scenario for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Very excited to try the system, and he's been painting, like a fiend, all the lovely models from the box set.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I promise I'd at least bring some nicely done terrain.
[SPEAKER_01]: That will be the next wave of pictures and progress from me on the discord when it completed.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to sign off before I share my annoying cough with you, cheers and best wishes to you and yours.
[SPEAKER_00]: From central California, Mark finished with, but for some reason the software decided to totally garble it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I had to say it for him.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what was going on with the software this month, but there was a couple of week lectures here and there that had to tidy up, but yeah, apologies Mark and thanks for the clip.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go on with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, it's Grott Castiv here for an update in the month of June.
[SPEAKER_02]: June has been...
[SPEAKER_02]: a very dwarfish month for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have been sculpting slayers.
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been a fun with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And for Father's Day, I was gifted to lovely 5th edition.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would say dwarf trolls slayers to add to that squad.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's looking that may be put together.
[SPEAKER_02]: We scored it in the be 10, 12.
[SPEAKER_02]: So maybe three more to go of my collection.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'll get the sculpting some more dwarfs
[SPEAKER_02]: also being planned away but a 40k in the club.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just like forks versus space brains, just plan our own like home brew rule set.
[SPEAKER_02]: So not really bothering with any of the new 11th edition nonsense.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just not keeping up with our treadmill.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then the other game played was Lord of the Rings game.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just a way sort of assassination squad against... We tried out some of the rules for the army of the dead.
[SPEAKER_02]: Who turned out to be a little bit more deadly than the the marshpectors of the last game?
[SPEAKER_02]: Then the other thing that I've been, I made a battle standard based on Dr. Spork's 3D 3D design for the front of carc spork, so the banners very much like that dwarf face as a banner.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pretty happy with how that turned out and look forward to getting that dwarf
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know when that's going to happen though because my son has picked up the second edition Burrows and Badgers book and has gone excited about doing like a little sort of narrative quest and that's just to kick me off on a mad Burrows and Badgers tangent.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's brilliant.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited to get back into Burrows and Badgers.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been
[SPEAKER_02]: back on the Earth Sworn Miniatures website.
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, just looking at all the wonderful creatures there, and I've pulled out a sort of long abandoned sculpting project of a lot of birds that never did get run to finishing, so they sculpting of dwarf slurs.
[SPEAKER_02]: If we're going to wait as well, if I get back into doing some of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, just looking into Delay and it's going to be
[SPEAKER_02]: a lot of Burroughs and Badgers, which is brilliant.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm excited to kind of step away from the Games Workshop stable of games again and just lean into something like Burroughs and Badgers is amazing if you haven't experienced that or you know seeing what any of that's about.
[SPEAKER_02]: Check out Osborne Minatures.
[SPEAKER_02]: They are just some of the most gorgeous managers you can buy right there.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're fantastic.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fully like recommend buying from them as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're a brilliant company.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's literally only making Joe who run this thing themselves out of their home and do all the casting and all the sculpting and all the production hunt, you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: more part of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: They've been dead for years, so definitely check out those badgers.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like a skirmish style war game, very kind of RPG light, loads of
[SPEAKER_02]: narrative, kind of objective stuff going on, just to make it not just like a battle in the middle of the game.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been really well play tested.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's actually brilliant rules set thoroughly recommend that and looking forward to really diving into more of that this month.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, thanks for the podcast everyone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for everything everyone's been into the discord community and looking forward to hearing what you're all up to.
[SPEAKER_02]: This month cheers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Massive thanks to everyone who submitted a clip throughout the month of June, 2026 and we will resume business on this front at the end of July and you can submit a clip, you can tell us what you've been up to by going to bedroombattlefield.com forward slash voice mail, submit we clip in there and we'll play it on the next episode.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, has for my own progress, or lack there of, uh, June really has been a, a non-event for me hobby wise, just still got a lot going on, outside of the hobby with them, work again, or lack of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, you know, I've been very busy, um, well, a lot of personal stuff and I've, I've simply not had time to dedicate to the hobby unfortunately.
[SPEAKER_00]: the last lucky paint applied must have been possibly was over a month ago now so I've been I've still got a bit of an open look there I've got the Space Raiders not of the crisp variety the Space Raiders from Nightmare put your excellent be models and I'm kind of halfway done with them that we squad they just
[SPEAKER_00]: They need probably, it's just to kind of highlight and pack it out of the details, so I do want to try and get to them before long.
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate getting to have them something certain, open and feel like so.
[SPEAKER_00]: looking to get to them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Other than that I've been hobby and vicariously through the five parsecs from home rulebook so do you ever get this in the hobby I'm sure you do where it's like there's a game that you know exists and it's mentioned a lot and you notice obviously really good and for one reason or another you just never really get round to check
[SPEAKER_00]: the five parsecs for home and the 5x from YCD's more broadly is kind of been like that by me where I've known of their existence for a long time.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know they're obviously really good games, they're highly thought of and yeah for one reason or another I've just never got round to properly checking any of them out.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I had bought the five parsecs for home
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a few months ago probably about six months ago to be honest, I got the rulebook and I had a quick flick throughout and I thought this looks really cool but at that time I think it was pretty deep into prepping for a game of hope goal-blowning.
[SPEAKER_00]: you've only got so much like cognitive space or attention and I just set it aside and just recently you know again it's like you just hear a game mentioned again and again on kind of different channels and from different people and I thought just one sort of even time I usually pick up a book and try and wind down so I picked up the 5, 5, 6
[SPEAKER_00]: And they just started, sorry if you're in my key jungle and by the way, it's not pocket.
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope that doesn't get annoying.
[SPEAKER_00]: I picked up the book and yeah, I could really start to see like this, this looks like some I could do away from the table as well, you know I could roll up a crew, which I did.
[SPEAKER_00]: and you don't want to start to flesh out the the lore for them and pick out the minatures and you know the chef and everything like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So a managed to do that and that's been really cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just been a way to keep a little touch point with a hobby.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it usually takes me quite a while to kind of digest and process rules.
[SPEAKER_00]: and I've been reading the book through and through and you know it's gradually all coming together for me I wouldn't say any of it's complicated it's just there is a lot in there there's a lot of detail and that's the exact point very narrative driven which I'm a huge fan of and it's a game that all kind of hopefully fit this
[SPEAKER_00]: season for me where I'm just very busy and you know maybe I can now look at getting a wee solo game of that on the table and yeah I'm really excited about it I've been thinking a lot about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know that planet fold just came out as well, so five power sexes is probably no more about it than I do.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that is a game where you assemble a crew and you have a ship.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're going on missions, you know, you're visiting different planets and executing various missions.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's a whole story and campaign narrative.
[SPEAKER_00]: where it's the newer version, planet 4.
[SPEAKER_00]: What that seems to be is about a permanent colonization, built in a base on a world.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, all the kind of different challenges that come with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So as far as I know, it's not.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not what you would consider in expansion.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a separate version of the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I could be wrong on that, but that's what it seems to be.
[SPEAKER_00]: But anyway, that was massively tempting.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to get that boot, but I thought, no, stick with what you've got just now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see what we could do with that because there's so much to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so much to explore there.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I really want to focus on five parsecs for the next few months and see what I could do with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, it just looks a lot of fun and I really, really am keen to get a game of that sooner rather than later.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's also five leagues from the Borderlands which is the fantasy version and again I came so close just to buying the book for that which I will but like I say I want to give the attention first to the book I've actually got.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah like I say hobby and viteriously at the
[SPEAKER_00]: and hopefully by your next update I'll have a game or two of that managed to be game or two and I could report back on how my crew feared and what I thought in general.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that's all of, all of Dunn, if that comes at all, have read a book, have read, that's of a book, as for the, the other thing I wanted to update you on with the newsletter, the many gamer, I'd been putting that out if you choose that, really enjoying that.
[SPEAKER_00]: but it's just it's been a hopefully temporary casualty of the current situation for me with just not got the time to dedicate to it so haven't put that on hi it said I don't like doing that I don't like starting stuff and then saying I'm putting that on hi it is but um it's it's necessary unfortunately so um it's just a tiny issue that so so I hope to get back to that early and
[SPEAKER_00]: you know based on some of the feedback I've got it seems like it was well received as well so the many gamer yes it's sort of harm I get the moment where I've got deal and hopefully we'll see it again in the near future
[SPEAKER_00]: like I keep saying the main thing for me is getting the podcast out, I want to keep getting out that out every single week as usual and so far I've been managing that so yeah that is it
[SPEAKER_00]: for my own updates, my own progress and get really enjoyed these episodes, as always always appreciate the time folks take to send in the clips and it's really cool to follow along with everyone's journey.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can do this start to
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember what folks are up to and almost look forward to here and how they've got on this month as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like I say, if you want to take part, next month you just need to go to BedroomBattlefields.com for such voicemail and there's a little record button in there.
[SPEAKER_00]: You could send in a clip.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's up to five minutes long.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, get those in by the end of
[SPEAKER_00]: That is it for now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks as always for listening and I really do appreciate it and we'll chat again on the next one.
