Episode Transcript

[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 tabletop miniature hobby podcast and it's the end of the month slash start of the new month which means it's accountability time so regular monthly hobby updates are kind of replacing for the time being anyway or question in the month's features so the concept is still the same you know it's the voice feedback voice mail feature on the site at BedroomBattlefields.com forward slash voice mail [SPEAKER_00]: and I'm just inviting people to send me a wee message and update me and update all the rest of the listeners as well on what they've been up to, hobby wise, over the last 30 or so days so we're going to find out what everyone's been up to during the month of September 25 and then I'll catch up with you at the end and see if I've been up to anything myself Let's get into it!

[SPEAKER_10]: Hello Matthew and podcast listeners.

[SPEAKER_10]: This is Johann T.

E.

G.

G.

Viss from the Discord, calling in for this month's question of the month, which is continuing our hobby app updates.

[SPEAKER_10]: First of all, I really enjoyed the last hobby update episode.

[SPEAKER_10]: I think many of you were going to agree that that was really interesting and great here.

[SPEAKER_10]: Other people are doing really kind of inspiring.

[SPEAKER_10]: keep myself a little bit, I give myself a little bit motivation to continue on with some of the many projects I'm busy with.

[SPEAKER_10]: I'll try and keep this relatively short just to give you a quick update right after our last episode, I did manage to play a game of age of fantasy, one from one page rules [SPEAKER_10]: He had a beautifully painted wood off army, which is three printed with a minis from one page rules.

[SPEAKER_10]: I did a great job.

[SPEAKER_10]: And I had my scaven, which I previously mentioned, which I touched up, you know, having a game planned, coming up is always a good motivator to go back and sort of clean up some minatures, finish up some that you haven't finished up yet.

[SPEAKER_10]: Maybe it came up paint job, maybe add a little detail to the basing spruce them up.

[SPEAKER_10]: So that's what I did just before and I had a great game.

[SPEAKER_10]: I had a really interesting scenario with this living tree in the middle of a forest, which was one of the objectives and then two other objectives.

[SPEAKER_10]: And we had to capture and hold the objectives long as we could scoring points every round, but then at the third and the fourth round, this living tree.

[SPEAKER_10]: wakes up and he starts attacking anybody within three inch radius of it, which was a ton of fun.

[SPEAKER_10]: Other than that, I got a few more additions to my scavener army.

[SPEAKER_10]: I painted [SPEAKER_10]: some red swarms, which is a quick one.

[SPEAKER_10]: I got some snipers, or a little jizzel squads, scaven snipers, for my scaven army.

[SPEAKER_10]: And I think after that, I might stop with my scaven army for a while, if it's been getting a lot of love.

[SPEAKER_10]: Other than that, I painted a little grot tank for my ever-growing [SPEAKER_10]: Ork 40k ork army, which was a ton of fun, the quick one to do, I really actually am enjoying painting vehicles, which is not something that I thought I would.

[SPEAKER_10]: I still have a battle wagon, a large one, a big project that has to get painted soon.

[SPEAKER_10]: So yeah, that is a kind of procrastinating on that one.

[SPEAKER_10]: And then lastly, I started with one more little dreadnought for my blood angels, Squire, which is also kind of a modestly size armoured at this point, and have too much for them, but I like adding a few models there every now and again.

[SPEAKER_10]: So yeah, that's pretty much it.

[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I actually got a shout out just to one YouTube channel if I may it's called too many hobbies [SPEAKER_10]: I've been enjoying watching a too many hobbies.

[SPEAKER_10]: It's two, the number two, and then many hobbies.

[SPEAKER_10]: I've been enjoying his one hour skirmish war games.

[SPEAKER_10]: Videos, one hour skirmish war games is a really fun Dysus system which uses two decks of cards.

[SPEAKER_10]: A really fun system that I've been enjoying myself.

[SPEAKER_10]: And he did a great play through where he played, you know, 40k, Marines, Space Marines versus Necrons.

[SPEAKER_10]: Using the one hour skirmish war game rules, it's quite interesting.

[SPEAKER_10]: And I kind of inspired me to do the same.

[SPEAKER_10]: in any case, that is me, thanks again Matthew for the awesome episode of The Awesome podcast, and looking forward to hearing everybody else's hobby updates.

[SPEAKER_10]: That's it for me for now.

[SPEAKER_10]: Bye bye.

[SPEAKER_15]: Hello Matthew and the Bedroom Battlefields crew.

[SPEAKER_15]: If you hear some strange noises in the background, that's merely the sound of Intel's Mygroship Manufacturing process working.

[SPEAKER_15]: apart from work, which seems to be taking up parts of much of my time, I have been painting slowly painting up several neck remander gangs.

[SPEAKER_15]: This is then advisable, I would buy painting one gang and then moving on to the next, but I seem to be butterflying my way from cord or to the rat skins and now to Esher.

[SPEAKER_15]: I've been enjoying a [SPEAKER_15]: I would like to get some actually painted on the table, so my sons and I can play, but we'll see hopefully next month we can have some epic encounters.

[SPEAKER_15]: As far as two triad years ago, I would like to continue with the necramander, I thought to actually see if there's some people nearby who want to play the 1995 version.

[SPEAKER_15]: And I want to get back into Mordheim.

[SPEAKER_15]: I started, I painted up some things, I pivoted, I got visit work, and then I didn't go back to it.

[SPEAKER_15]: And now I'm thinking, it's time.

[SPEAKER_15]: Unfortunately, my current geopolitical issues and tariffs have meant that some of the MDF terrain that I want to order for it, I will have to get by some other means.

[SPEAKER_15]: but hopefully I'll be able to manage that sometime soon.

[SPEAKER_15]: I'd like to get some games going.

[SPEAKER_15]: It looks like beast men will be the first gang I work on and then possibly scaven, but we shall see.

[SPEAKER_15]: That adds me at the moment.

[SPEAKER_15]: I'd love to see where I get to next month.

[SPEAKER_15]: I hope the questions of the month continue.

[SPEAKER_01]: Hello Matthew and everybody in the podcast community.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's David M on the Discord and fifth hammer over on YouTube, checking in for our question of the month of what hobby stuff we're working on now.

[SPEAKER_01]: And as we head into October, I am working on a unit of Alcatani Fellowship Heikman from the Warhammer Dogs of War, army that debuted in fifth edition, so we're talking circa 1998.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I've managed to track down at least 42 of these fine little fellows if you're not familiar with them.

[SPEAKER_01]: I've got a couple blisters that I pop open over on my channel if you want to go take a look.

[SPEAKER_01]: But if you can't, don't want to.

[SPEAKER_01]: I can tell you that these guys are like a fusion of recopelite meets 30 years war pikemen.

[SPEAKER_01]: fusion that you know only exists probably in the Warhammer world and that's why we love it and it's a weird and wild fusion of all these different inspirations.

[SPEAKER_01]: And so anyway, I mean, there's track 42 of these guys down, which was not an easy task.

[SPEAKER_01]: I really wanted to put together a unit of a big unit of these pikemen to really make it look intimidating and fearsome on the field, and what's the point of pikes if you can only have 10 of them.

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you want to have close to 50, I think, at least, you know, in my mind, anyway.

[SPEAKER_01]: and so uh yeah it's been it's been a challenge putting those together sourcing them assembling them trying to get them to actually rank up and so that's what i've been working on this month is doing that and hopefully i'm going to get them primed later today and then on October 1st [SPEAKER_01]: When the call of the crown challenge kicks off, I will get the painting underway.

[SPEAKER_01]: I've never attempted painting a unit that big before, so I'm going to have to force myself to probably spend less time on the details than I'm used to.

[SPEAKER_01]: and focus on getting the unit itself done and focus on the big stuff.

[SPEAKER_01]: The big areas of color that you're going to see from a distance and make them look good as a whole.

[SPEAKER_01]: First rather than it's individual.

[SPEAKER_01]: So that'll be something of a newer take for me.

[SPEAKER_01]: I tend to lose myself in the details on these menus, but I just with that many with 42 plus.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just not going to have a chance to do that here.

[SPEAKER_01]: Or if I do lose [SPEAKER_01]: I'm done in time.

[SPEAKER_01]: So any who, yeah, that's what I'm working on.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I also have a dog's award mercenary general to do as well who will be the general of the army.

[SPEAKER_01]: And any who, yeah, that's what'll be keeping me busy in October, but I can't wait to hear what everybody else is up to and get all the updates and whatnot from everybody else in the community.

[SPEAKER_01]: And so with that, I'll sign off and hope to hear from everybody soon.

[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, it's Dave calling with my update for September.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I have become something of like the arbiter of an echo blender campaign.

[SPEAKER_02]: And we bet out of the blue.

[SPEAKER_02]: Um, let me go and touch and said, friend his and his couple boys and their cousin.

[SPEAKER_02]: all wanted to get started when a commander, you know, we're interested.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, of course, jumped at that chance and got everybody set up to play a wee intro game.

[SPEAKER_02]: So that has taken off, despite other hobby projects, not necessarily grinding to a halt.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, I'm finding myself juggling that way, but I'm [SPEAKER_02]: my older son's interest and that my younger son's not interested at all.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I've been trying to find different games that he would be interested in.

[SPEAKER_02]: We had a wee run of Gork and Worker with him and he kind of enjoyed that.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's one of his guy's left off the truck and bumped my boss over the head and put him out of action.

[SPEAKER_02]: So that was all fine but then we did the series [SPEAKER_02]: something bad like that could happen and he was just not interested after that even though it was my boss who knew I had a headwind so he just was like no that's not very nice so I'm kind of trying to navigate the you know sort of fortnightly [SPEAKER_02]: down the club, run an equipment to campaign for four or five players and trying to do something else with my younger son as well, that he will enjoy.

[SPEAKER_02]: My friend of mine came along last.

[SPEAKER_02]: last week and we played, he was kind enough to jump in and play like no rules everything goes 11 year old GM free form adventure which was 100% outside his comfort zone and you know master perspective or him for putting up with us and playing along and getting into that.

[SPEAKER_02]: But he's like can we play some vintage 40k?

[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to, but it's another sort of demand on [SPEAKER_02]: I'm able to bring along the club support in terms of giving the guys what they need to do not ignoring my son to play with all the other guys and also yeah I've a lot on the go yeah other projects that are not apparently stopping we are still well and truly in the middle of the list and building a giant tar war thank [SPEAKER_02]: Um, taking the help of CI's and guard remains a future campaign, which we will continue building in preparation for.

[SPEAKER_02]: There are 10 riders of Rohan, parts of Stolfi Bay on the way in as well.

[SPEAKER_02]: So that's been grand.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of somewhat in the back burner, but you know, we're getting lots of train ideas.

[SPEAKER_02]: We've been talking about making a little back end.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I got a block of insulation foam started carving that and then realized that dust was horrible and needed to kind of [SPEAKER_02]: rethink my plans for that.

[SPEAKER_02]: So that should be good.

[SPEAKER_02]: I really do want to get on to that because how can we back end play on the grid be kind of nice for birds and badgers as well.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's not the never get chance to play that.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's nothing for the future.

[SPEAKER_02]: Then there's been lots of necromander inspiration, fueling things.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I've been doing a bit of necromander terrain.

[SPEAKER_02]: Because the necronement of buildings are interesting and all the block line of side of it, but they don't really block movement much because you can just move right under them.

[SPEAKER_02]: So figured some walls would be good, particularly for the shootout scenario.

[SPEAKER_02]: They'd like to try and have a go at if that's possible.

[SPEAKER_02]: And if been painting up my orlocks for paint all the minis, monthly challenges as well.

[SPEAKER_02]: So just taking some pictures of them, I'll be posting those over on the gallery as well.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, they're sort of like kind of [SPEAKER_02]: they're almost orlox in ashore colors, sort of they're a wee bit like my street preachers in the early 90s punk or something.

[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, I've had fun picking up some of those, I'm still a couple more of them to go.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah that's been what have been working on, I'm looking forward to hearing everybody else's how we update.

[SPEAKER_04]: Cheers.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, Matthew, this is Ryan, Don Juan Don from the Discord.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I was just calling in with the, um, with an answer to this month's question of the month, basically asking us, what are we painting, playing or planning on doing right now?

[SPEAKER_04]: So for me, I've got, I think a couple, I would say on going projects, and then one, uh, one new one, I'm actually really excited about.

[SPEAKER_04]: So, [SPEAKER_04]: Whereas the ongoing stuff goes still playing Halo at least every other week and having an absolutely great time with with a group of folks in our town and I still need to paint the some of the banished models that had just been released for that but otherwise my other other forces are all painted up in and it's it's honestly just been great being able to sit down and play regularly and you know and have a recurring group and a recurring night.

[SPEAKER_04]: The other thing that I was working on last month and have been for some time is I started dabbling in the Skyrim, I guess the Elder Scrolls, called the Arms Game, they have a mode in there that's called a Delph mode, which is like a solo co-op mode against AI opponents and whatnot.

[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I wasn't initially was kind of turned off by the rule set, but the more I dug into it, the more I thought it seemed okay and at a minimum serviceable, but what it does provide is it provides a lot of [SPEAKER_04]: You know, decks of cards for weapons and armor and, you know, events and enemies and allies and whatnot from the Skyrim game and I don't know I just I find that world really cool and and I spend a lot of time in there in the video game so it seems like a natural progression to bring it to the table of possible so.

[SPEAKER_04]: I've been painting up some forces for that, working on some terrain for that, and I'm really hoping I'm going to intentionally constrain myself initially to a 2x2 table to see if I can get a more condensed experience and try to make it, I don't know, I lately I've been on this condensed gaming kick, I don't know if it's from playing Halo on a 2x2 or what, but I just really started to gravitate that way rather than you know, the big sprawling mats and tables and [SPEAKER_04]: So finally, the last thing on my list and arguably the newest thing this month was buddy of mine in one of the hosts of the hobby homies podcast Fox.

[SPEAKER_04]: He and a friend have put together a terrain set and I think it's their first dive into terrain creation and they're gonna be putting out like so many folks they're gonna put out a Kickstarter.

[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I've got a fair bit of experience with terrain and was kind of looking at it and it just, it looks, it's a really neat system.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's it's a sci-fi called altaire or altaire base or altaire colony base and it's by asteroids studios.

[SPEAKER_04]: But they use like a frame system with either clips or magnets and then you can swap in and out panels to grow, you know, or adapts the structures and they stack and they, they do all kind of stuff.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's, you know, the engineer in me.

[SPEAKER_04]: You know, it really just tickles the mechanical engineering part of my brain because it's just very modular and seems like those are well.

[SPEAKER_04]: So I've just been helping those guys out with test printing components and just kind of looking over how they come out on the printer and and I'll, I'll, I'm going to do up some painting because at this point all the pieces of test printed.

[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I'll have enough to do some gaming, probably use that for five par secs, at some point, because I absolutely love that game, but yeah, so I've been helping out just with some testing and and that what and that kind of stuff for the for the alter colony base keeps started, I should be coming to you.

[SPEAKER_04]: So I guess I'll roll in a little plug if anybody's interested.

[SPEAKER_04]: Let's take a look at it, at least give it a look and a notification, just because it is a is a really slick system the way they put it together.

[SPEAKER_04]: So.

[SPEAKER_04]: That is what is on my table and on my mind this month.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's been a great month, so I've gotten a lot of hobby and done.

[SPEAKER_04]: We sure were out, it's been incredibly hot.

[SPEAKER_04]: So, get outside occasionally, but it took a good time to be inside and be painting and gaming.

[SPEAKER_04]: So, thanks again for a great question.

[SPEAKER_04]: I always love these, these are just one of things I really look forward to.

[SPEAKER_04]: And, really excited if you're what other folks got going on.

[SPEAKER_04]: So, until next time, thank you, Matthew, appreciate it.

[SPEAKER_16]: Hello everyone, Kalam, a.k.a.

[SPEAKER_16]: doctor spoke here.

[SPEAKER_16]: I'll keep this one brief as I'm suffering from the plague.

[SPEAKER_16]: This month was going very well for me until Pap and Herbal took hold of my life.

[SPEAKER_16]: Fantasy Watchtower and a remaster of my very first terrain piece, done and uploaded.

[SPEAKER_16]: My old concoplan army is actually built and base-coded.

[SPEAKER_16]: And I managed to make a whole bunch of noble terrain during Jason's wonderful two-hour terrain challenge that I probably spent close to the three and a half hours working on.

[SPEAKER_16]: But anyway, five pieces of terrain wonderful.

[SPEAKER_16]: And my Dean Steele of Cult was within my grasp until my body failed me.

[SPEAKER_16]: Hopefully I'll manage to get the last few bits of that done in amongst other things over the next few months.

[SPEAKER_16]: Anyway, next month is the start of the Call of the Crown, so a mob of Orcs to paint, and hopefully another couple of 3D designs to get finished off and hit there.

[SPEAKER_16]: Probably something to celebrate or October.

[SPEAKER_16]: Anyway, goodbye.

[SPEAKER_16]: I'll catch you all next month.

[SPEAKER_14]: Hello Matthew, this is Carl Colson of Chicago skirmish 4 games.

[SPEAKER_14]: Not really doing much right now, [SPEAKER_14]: plans.

[SPEAKER_14]: The club wrapped up a song blades and heroes series.

[SPEAKER_14]: And now we are moving towards how we play a bunch of grimdark future over the next couple of months.

[SPEAKER_14]: Everyone has their old armies and wants to get them back on the table again.

[SPEAKER_14]: And the hopping front by the acquired [SPEAKER_14]: mostly toys.

[SPEAKER_14]: We got some Talas, a tank engine, tower things, some geotracks, some parking garages that were probably Hot Wheels-ish.

[SPEAKER_14]: Many of you saw that I built a lot of bridges last year or this year rather and now it's time to get these two and three story towers and structures to pick those bridges.

[SPEAKER_14]: So that should be exciting.

[SPEAKER_14]: I hope to have that work done by [SPEAKER_14]: I hope you're all having a fun with your projects as fall coaches and of 40 here and what they are.

[SPEAKER_08]: I Matthew, mountain here in Hampshire, mountain S on the discord with a quick and very late to reply to your question of the months of bands that I'll hope you updates.

[SPEAKER_08]: On the painting table and making decent progress I currently have some 15mm visigoths which are destined to be a DBA tournament price.

[SPEAKER_08]: These have now been joined by some ancient Greeks donated by my friend Richard for yet another price.

[SPEAKER_08]: The Greeks needed a few extra figures added to make a legit DBA army.

[SPEAKER_08]: So the challenge now is to try to match the style already [SPEAKER_08]: On the gaming front, I've been asked to fight through some battles in an ancients campaign being run by Lordle and Jack Tart in Ireland.

[SPEAKER_08]: One I played last month and it went very very well.

[SPEAKER_08]: I've just been asked to play another one in which a Persian type army has invaded an Egyptian themed nation.

[SPEAKER_08]: So now I'm about to work out the details of what's in each army and what terrain will be fought over.

[SPEAKER_08]: I'm very much looking forward to that.

[SPEAKER_08]: For the last one I ran had plenty of unexpected twists and turns, so despite playing the game solo, I'll have very little idea what will actually transpire in this one until [SPEAKER_08]: great fun.

[SPEAKER_08]: Thanks as always for the blog and podcast.

[SPEAKER_08]: Cheers to all.

[SPEAKER_13]: Hey Matthew and the tabletop hobby mentors podcast listeners.

[SPEAKER_13]: This is David of Axenix from the bad internet friends podcast.

[SPEAKER_13]: Checking in with my hobby progress for as a member was a super busy month.

[SPEAKER_13]: Surprisingly, we went shockingly fast.

[SPEAKER_13]: Actually kind of blown away that we're already at the end [SPEAKER_13]: I spent more time getting to bed early than I did working on minigames and stuff, which is always sad.

[SPEAKER_13]: What?

[SPEAKER_13]: Sleep, I guess, is important.

[SPEAKER_13]: I did pick up a the new horse heresy box, and I built a grandhold of two Mark II space Marines, and also purchased a no-wash airbrush, and it has little electric battery attached so it's an all-all-one-and-done system.

[SPEAKER_13]: load it into the gun and you just start spraying.

[SPEAKER_13]: And if a clogged, you toss out that needle and you start again.

[SPEAKER_13]: It feels kind of wasteful, but I did successfully clean one nozzle that clogged one was clogged beyond belief and did not recover.

[SPEAKER_13]: Turns out my they whole black primer was half goo.

[SPEAKER_13]: So that didn't want to go through the needle.

[SPEAKER_13]: But really had if you just want to like pick up an airbrush, slap some paint in and go.

[SPEAKER_13]: It's almost as easy as just painting from your wet palate.

[SPEAKER_13]: And as that's really cool.

[SPEAKER_13]: Gaming wise, I got a game of five parts six from home, second edition in, this part of the campaign that's going on in the Nordic Weasel Games Discord.

[SPEAKER_13]: It was great to bring my old crew back on the table and play a slightly older rule set, which is not the different from five parts six from home third edition, there's a few differences, but it gives me that nostalgic feeling like it's 2019 all over again.

[SPEAKER_13]: And then my other game I played this month was, [SPEAKER_13]: called endless hammer, which is the game I'm developing.

[SPEAKER_13]: It's based on this quadhammer or collicence and endless fantasy tactics.

[SPEAKER_13]: endless fantasy tactics was a game that was made to emulate the experience to get from overbattle tactics over and final fantasy tactics.

[SPEAKER_13]: It's kind of isometric batlers that emulate minder-sleece gaming but on like a little square grid with certain levels of height.

[SPEAKER_13]: And always found endless, fancy tactics not quite accessible.

[SPEAKER_13]: It's kind of a little too bespoke and relied heavily on books that you didn't get with your initial purchase of the game.

[SPEAKER_13]: So I never quite any got any momentum from that, but I always thought to myself, it would be great just to kind of make this a little more, miniature is agnostic, a little more, open to the players.

[SPEAKER_13]: So mine is kind of more heavily based on D&D [SPEAKER_13]: It'll be included in the main book, and you can easily play a versus game, but it's more centered towards co-op and solo kind of a narrative mode, and those modes will be released in the world books.

[SPEAKER_13]: Pretty cool, but yeah, it's been taking up most of my brain space these days, even not work.

[SPEAKER_13]: The last cool thing, I think, for hobbying this month has been Google Notebook LM, where you can [SPEAKER_13]: YouTube videos are just about anything into it and it'll kind of give you like a cool summary or a debriefing or critique or you can have like a little debate between the two AIs and they kind of like hammer down points and it's been great for getting feedback initially from all the alpha rules I've developed as well as just kind of you know you got a PDF of rulebook even sitting around in your Dropbox that haven't read in a few years or you just.

[SPEAKER_13]: never quite manage to get a red, you know, yeah, this kind of thing, sitting in your library, you can just feed into the, no book LM and it'll spit out a bunch of content based on it.

[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, and then you're trying to get a pretty cool idea of the game.

[SPEAKER_13]: And maybe kind of fires you back up and you say, no, actually, I'm going to get that on the team.

[SPEAKER_13]: And as always, I am looking forward to hearing everyone else's responses and thanks for the opportunity for me to speak.

[SPEAKER_13]: Take care, bye-bye.

[SPEAKER_17]: the Dreambush of real discord, checking in with my hobby progress and what I'm planning on doing in the upcoming month.

[SPEAKER_17]: So last time I spoke to you, I mentioned Blubbal.

[SPEAKER_17]: I've got a bunch of Blubbal stuff painted.

[SPEAKER_17]: So next month I want to gain at least one ideally two games [SPEAKER_17]: so that's that element.

[SPEAKER_17]: I also mentioned the upcoming Armageddon campaign at my local club that I'm running.

[SPEAKER_17]: So we had our first battle, which was great fun.

[SPEAKER_17]: The AUX managed to push their way forwards towards the high.

[SPEAKER_17]: The next battle is in fact low, where they will, the AUX will be trying [SPEAKER_17]: assault on the high sitting with the moorings and Eldar trying to stop them from getting that equipment.

[SPEAKER_17]: So that seems to be going pretty well.

[SPEAKER_17]: I've gotten all the models for that now painted, but I do still need to get some adoptive sports theory done out that it's all [SPEAKER_17]: I'm not sure I'm ready to do that many ruins, but some point I want, hopefully in time for the Bible battle, if not, I'll get them done it when I get round to them.

[SPEAKER_17]: I also mentioned space weirdos, the final expansion that I've been working on, the layout on that is now complete, which is great, and we are now doing a final proofread for typos and bits and pieces like that.

[SPEAKER_17]: hopefully we'll be done over the next couple of weeks just into out to the people who did the proofreading for the last round.

[SPEAKER_17]: We're going to do a little check through myself.

[SPEAKER_17]: So we'll see how that goes.

[SPEAKER_17]: And hopefully that will be up on more games.

[SPEAKER_17]: Well, by the end of October, touchwood.

[SPEAKER_17]: And then I suppose that just leaves my upcoming projects.

[SPEAKER_17]: or promptly, which I'm looking forward to getting some colour on to when I have a moment.

[SPEAKER_17]: I also have a whole bunch of scooper and non-apposed minis to make a you know plan rats ready for Jason's big game in January.

[SPEAKER_17]: I have a small scooper who made that present spell in the last big game.

[SPEAKER_17]: I can't even explain that a little bit, I've got about nearly 30 kHz to paint, both of the sort of fourth, I think it was a fourth edition Monopose Scabin models and the Heracrest Monopose Scabin models, so it's going to be a bit of a mixture of those, and then I've been collecting Harwin beneath from the 1980s, my big project for next year is [SPEAKER_17]: that's something I'm excited about.

[SPEAKER_17]: We'll probably have to do a little bit of prep for later on this year, but they're not an active project.

[SPEAKER_17]: So anyway, not going on, probably far too much going on, but I am being kept entertained, which is always the aim of all of this.

[SPEAKER_17]: I'm looking forward to hearing how everyone else is getting on with the, we've projects.

[SPEAKER_17]: Hopefully they're all making good progress [SPEAKER_17]: I know there's a lot of call of command preparation, which has been going on ready to start painting.

[SPEAKER_17]: I think we can hear what October, I think that starts.

[SPEAKER_17]: I'll be be great to hear how all of that hard work comes up.

[SPEAKER_17]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_17]: All of us, Matthew, I look forward to speaking to you again, too.

[SPEAKER_17]: Cheers.

[SPEAKER_17]: Hello.

[SPEAKER_09]: This is The Locklees from Troy Witch and England.

[SPEAKER_09]: Responding to the question of the month.

[SPEAKER_09]: And this is Fabian, how old are you Fabian?

[SPEAKER_05]: Five.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, can you tell me what you've been painting this month?

[SPEAKER_09]: What have you got in your hand?

[SPEAKER_06]: Hello.

[SPEAKER_06]: Hello.

[SPEAKER_06]: Hello.

[SPEAKER_06]: Dad.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a- [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, this was a tricky one, wasn't it, because the paint was the paint that behaving properly on this model?

[SPEAKER_05]: No.

[SPEAKER_09]: What was it, Duran?

[SPEAKER_05]: It was when I painted it, it basically just didn't.

[SPEAKER_05]: stay on route, spread it around.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, so we decided the model was too glossy and the turquoise glossy paint you were putting on was moving around the door, isn't it?

[SPEAKER_09]: Nope, it's just an audio, so they can just hear your voice, okay?

[SPEAKER_09]: So Daddy, I sprayed that one matte garnish now, as need to make it a bit rougher.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_09]: So hopefully the next time we sit down, [SPEAKER_09]: We will have a bit more successful at one point.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, she's here.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_09]: They will.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_09]: It is recording.

[SPEAKER_09]: So, let's put this one down.

[SPEAKER_09]: What's this next model you painted?

[UNKNOWN]: Oh.

[SPEAKER_09]: This one's also from Hero Quest.

[SPEAKER_09]: What does he look like?

[SPEAKER_09]: What is he?

[SPEAKER_05]: No.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_09]: It's nice.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, even the flow.

[SPEAKER_09]: He's super gold extra extra gold, isn't he?

[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, and he is a quite cool model, isn't he?

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_09]: All right.

[SPEAKER_09]: And then the third and final model we've painted.

[SPEAKER_09]: This is a bit of a luxurious one, isn't it?

[SPEAKER_09]: This is an up and down.

[SPEAKER_05]: And I call this my black stories.

[SPEAKER_09]: Your black stories.

[SPEAKER_05]: and Taurus.

[SPEAKER_09]: The doctor then donated these models to us, didn't he, because he doesn't play that game anymore.

[SPEAKER_09]: And this was the first time we used to wash, wasn't it?

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_09]: So you used to wash for the first time, didn't you?

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, wash, or a shade.

[SPEAKER_09]: I remember Daddy called it Talon Tinnobotto.

[SPEAKER_09]: because it makes it look a lot better, doesn't it?

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_09]: And what did Obi said it did?

[SPEAKER_09]: It makes it look like the spaces were bigger.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the spaces were bigger.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, what color would be painted in?

[SPEAKER_05]: Purple and violet girls.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: I painted it a bit red bit.

[SPEAKER_05]: I painted it a bit more down, but then it might have gone a bit up.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, exactly.

[SPEAKER_09]: Right, okay.

[SPEAKER_09]: So, who have we got next?

[SPEAKER_09]: This is OB, and how old are you, A.B.?

[SPEAKER_09]: Seven, and what model have you got in your hand right now?

[SPEAKER_05]: I've got in, and I'm a dinosaur from my arm.

[SPEAKER_05]: One of my armies that I've painted.

[SPEAKER_09]: So that's a seraphon that saw us warrior by games workshop.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I've got to take for my birthday, and I pet, and this is the sixth one I've painted out of ten.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: And he's, and he, and then he follows his red.

[SPEAKER_09]: And what color is this one?

[SPEAKER_05]: Dino.

[SPEAKER_09]: What color is this one?

[SPEAKER_05]: This one's blue.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, that was painted with a contrast blue, wasn't it?

[SPEAKER_05]: And it's weapon on it.

[SPEAKER_05]: And it's about a boat and she would aren't painted yet.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, so we've not done the weapons the other way, but we'll do that at another point.

[SPEAKER_09]: And then you've got another one of these gates around Tire Rays, Narrow, but seven-year-like dock banding.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think it's in red, purple, and lucky gray.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it's like, yeah.

[SPEAKER_09]: Well, it was kind of like a silver, but then the red shade has changed the color.

[SPEAKER_05]: Look shade on it, and it's also a very creepy and it's got gravel all along the bottom.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so we did a bit of basing, didn't we?

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and he's also in the army of her dinosaurs.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I mean, what, what respectable dinosaur army doesn't have any robots?

[SPEAKER_09]: And then the third and final model, what's this?

[SPEAKER_05]: I've got Mark 7, and he's from a different team, but in the same huge country, aren't he?

[SPEAKER_09]: What games he from?

[SPEAKER_05]: He's from...

Flashpoint.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_09]: Halo, Flashpoint by Mantit Games.

[SPEAKER_05]: And there's lots more diseases.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, so...

7-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 [SPEAKER_07]: But recently, while Lisa will last you days, I have been printing out some ships for the Battle Fleet Gothic remastered starter kit, which is a set of imperial and chaos fleets, which are brilliant for getting printed quickly, because they all come pre-supported and then they are really easily painted with dry brushing and some highlights.

[SPEAKER_07]: I've been using the Void Admiral Rules for the goal list to play a game with Ed Abel, [SPEAKER_07]: over the next week or two and that should be super fun.

[SPEAKER_07]: I'm using a hex grid instead of measuring things and it's just kind of nice to get these ships that I've always seen in magazines from when I started reading White Wolf more actively and actually seeing them in a game immediately, I'm not playing Battlefleet Gothic but it's still pretty cool.

[SPEAKER_07]: I also like to try Grand Fleet again so I'm probably going to AB these together and figure out what's best and that's very much a [SPEAKER_07]: historical combat game of the high seas and it pre-world war one with crazy steam ships and sailing ships and cannons and all kinds of stuff which is which is fun and a very different way so I'm going to compare them and see which is best to play and that's what I'm up to thanks very much [SPEAKER_03]: This is Darren Narad from the Discord.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm doing a second call here, and this is not to compliment the last one, but to replace it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Because the last one was very rambling.

[SPEAKER_03]: And in a little bit of a downer place, I was saying that I had a bunch of models and it wasn't sure which direction to go next.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so I wanted to replace that with something [SPEAKER_03]: Both retail therapy and also a really great game recently.

[SPEAKER_03]: So what's inspiring me now is that I finally played a competitive game of Oathmark against a fellow from a local club I'd been going to.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I spent the last six months playing Warhammer there, realizing that Warhammer of the Old World wasn't really my cup of tea.

[SPEAKER_03]: A little too slow and fiddly and tedious.

[SPEAKER_03]: So against one of those players that we had a little [SPEAKER_03]: practice game of Oathmark, play a pretty full-size game, and really enjoyed it.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I had a lot of back and forth.

[SPEAKER_03]: Had a lot more movement than old-world.

[SPEAKER_03]: I played dwarves in old-world, and then played dwarves again, and this one.

[SPEAKER_03]: And this one actually had charges and flanking maneuvers, and there was a lot more fluid.

[SPEAKER_03]: and so I enjoyed it a lot and so we're excited and we're going to try to make it a bit of a monthly thing and do a casual campaign.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so that's got me excited and got me thinking, okay, now I want to build a bunch of these Caldery, I've got a bunch of the Oathmark Caldery Spruce that I better build and still not sure what exactly direction I'm going to go with it, but it has me excited again.

[SPEAKER_03]: to just for the gaming part.

[SPEAKER_03]: And also, if the retail therapy part decides way too many models, I did pick up a couple of things.

[SPEAKER_03]: One is the perilous dark supplement for Frostgrave, which I've always been interested in for solo gaming.

[SPEAKER_03]: Probably try out some of those scenarios, sooner than later.

[SPEAKER_03]: And also I got these cards, these Axian Quest cards.

[SPEAKER_03]: They're meant as a supplement for hero quest, so that you can play hero quest kind of with some random dungeon generation kind of, and solo without, like, how many do you use the app?

[SPEAKER_03]: You basically place a bunch of cards in each room and turn them over when your character goes in, it's just kind of another way to play to do some solo miniature gaming, and I'm excited to try those out as well.

[SPEAKER_03]: get me to do that so I've got no now I'm excited again got a lot of projects so I want to paint this finished painting a couple of board games I've got the rising sun and war of the rain games I think like all good stuff I've afforded here and what everyone else has to say sorry to give you two recordings but you know yes that's the the highs and lows of the hobby you know one day you're [SPEAKER_03]: That's a pile of shame in the next, it's all the opportunities.

[SPEAKER_03]: Abound.

[SPEAKER_03]: All right, thank you very much.

[SPEAKER_03]: Have a good one, everybody.

[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, and after you, this is Cam Out of Orick.

[SPEAKER_11]: I am also getting Yurita and hiked up for the call of the Crown Tablets.

[SPEAKER_11]: I've never participated in a painting challenge before, so I've got no idea if deadlines are going to help me or hinder, but I guess I'll be finding out in the worst case scenarios that I'll have some models made through that I didn't previously.

[SPEAKER_11]: I'm doing chaos course, which are models I didn't like at all back in the 90's about to help top the hats were ridiculous.

[SPEAKER_11]: But when I decided back in 2017 that I needed to collect a Warhammer fantasy army, I wanted it to be chaos doors.

[SPEAKER_11]: So just before and during COVID, I collected about 3,000 points of them, and that's what I'll be working for.

[SPEAKER_11]: I'm pledging very modest unit sizes, so I've got plenty to choose from.

[SPEAKER_11]: Now, we've got a bunch of chaos torfs with axes and shields.

[SPEAKER_11]: All of the shields are 3D printed in the Favosel.

[SPEAKER_11]: We've got a bunch of blunder buses, some hot goblins, sneaky gates, a hot goblin champion that is printed from Broniac, Astragoth, a sorcerer on foot, a great tourist, a death rocket, and Earthshaker cannon, and a hot goblin bolt-for-word.

[SPEAKER_11]: Strangely enough, the only warm machine in the team with wheels was the death rocket.

[SPEAKER_11]: And one of those wheels was from an empire candidate.

[SPEAKER_11]: So luckily, I was able to find STLs that are perfect matches for the wheels I needed.

[SPEAKER_11]: And I printed off an handful of those because, you know, they'll be great for tarting up scattertrain like fences and barricades and stuff.

[SPEAKER_11]: I've also got a Ralph Arthur Menticore that I'm excited to get some paint on for your discord audience in particular.

[SPEAKER_11]: He's only about half the size of a tourist and he costs 200 points, but the sculpt has got some fantastic button chops on him, so I think he'll be worth it.

[SPEAKER_11]: Anyways, I'll be sharing pictures as I get stuff completed, so you know, wish me luck.

[SPEAKER_09]: Hello, Jamie speaking from JoyCrich.

[SPEAKER_09]: I didn't have time to record my entry after the kids messy one earlier or a couple of days ago.

[SPEAKER_09]: So anyway, I'm hoping I'm squeaking in before the deadline for the question of the month.

[SPEAKER_09]: So, at the moment, I've been painting a series of random minis for our ongoing store of the Lichleward Frost Grave campaign.

[SPEAKER_09]: Essentially I'm trying to have the complete B-Story ready in my box ready to go so any rolls on the table can be covered The campaign is going well and we're about third of the way through we've had some really funky games [SPEAKER_09]: And yeah, so it's really good.

[SPEAKER_09]: And since we're going pretty well, so far, so that's good.

[SPEAKER_09]: Looking forward to hearing what everyone else is up to.

[SPEAKER_09]: And yeah, have a great day, everyone.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it's for my own progress over the past a month or so.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have been pretty busy with the old hobby in, starting with my 15 mil chaos army.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I think I mentioned on the last hobby update episode that I've been painting the shield maidens I looked back, I couldn't remember where they were from, it's North Star military figures so they're really good little miniatures in 15 little fun learn-off but they're pretty much done and I had the chaos nights as well, I've got four mountain chaos nights from Rao Partha so they're done, they're all just waiting on a vanish basically [SPEAKER_00]: And the very final unit for that chaos army are the basement, so I have all the base coat and everything I've done, so it's just basically finished now up, but the basement are pretty straight forward and they're pretty muted colors, at least at the way I paint them, so that shouldn't be too much of a challenge and then that chaos army is done.

[SPEAKER_00]: and I'll be looking to get a wee game of Hobgoblin at some point over the next couple of months with the good Doctor Spork.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've also based in Prind up a couple of 28 mil miniatures that I picked up at bringing out your lads, so the first one was just the official bottle, like guest miniatures, I think they do these every year.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it was like a high vampire really cool looking.

[SPEAKER_00]: We miniature so you could imagine like neck from on the vampire He's like not a great looking fellow from a from a handsomeness point of view suppose [SPEAKER_00]: But really cool miniature to add to the old sci-fi collection at that scale coming handy for all sorts of different skirmish games And David from the discord as well he came all the way over from America just to see me and give me a miniature It was nothing to do with the fact that boy was on but I beg thanks to David for doing that.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was like a demonet of slenish [SPEAKER_00]: So I've never painted one of them before and again another really cool model and I'm looking forward to doing that as well One of the very nice V sort of pallet cleansers I think so those two are ready to go as well And then I did mention Dr Sport there I have I've been rolled some dice with a column recently He came round to mine and we were playing a many campaign using the song of ladies and heroes rose [SPEAKER_00]: And I split up my big Nargo Warpan, who made two rival Norgo Warpan and created a little backstory in that he'd made some brilliant terrain during the Royal Royal Warpan.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's actually recently which I stupidly missed, but he'd made some brilliant terrain and how many we wanted to paint it all up.

[SPEAKER_00]: So he brought that over and that was great to put that on the table at what's really well.

[SPEAKER_00]: So we played some kind of re-skinned scenarios from the sci-fi skirmish War Games book by John Lamp's head, but re-skinned for Kenya fantasy and it worked really well.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it was good fun and we did a couple of recordings at the end of each game.

[SPEAKER_00]: So you'll hear a bit more about that in a few weeks time when I get a chance to put that episode together.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, that was really fun and we've got a few games left to kind of wrap that mini campaign up as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then Blood Boat has another thing that's kind of been on my mind and my table recently, so if you're a long time listener, you'll hear it may probably be morning, my nom team in the past.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I've got a nom's team, but I also had Blood Boat when I was young, so I had like the mid-90s box.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I had the Chaos team, I think they were called the Chaos Allstars at the time, so it was like it was mainly Beastman, but there was three Chaos Warrior players.

[SPEAKER_00]: and then I had them lower to Borac.

[SPEAKER_00]: We should have the name as so I had them and somehow the chaos warrior ministers have just gone to the place where I guess some childhood managers go.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I ended up well like the beastman on their own and a beastman started player he's got like three or four hands.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I've really liked to thought I'd get in the chaos warrior's back and there was [SPEAKER_00]: So, troll trader, which looks like a cool sight, but you know they had done and I think to get the three chaos warriors plus the start player Lord Borak, it would have been like 70 quid So, I was kind of mentioning that on the discord and big thanks to Stuart who found on eBay the same four miniatures available for I think that the bed started and it's like 31 pounds or something [SPEAKER_00]: So it had a bite now for about 40 odd, I think it was 40, 40 exactly, 41 maybe.

[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, so I just thought let's go for it and got Lambert's more than I would tend to pay for managers, but yeah, complete that team and so real, more of chaos, it will make sense if you see it written down, that's what I've called the team.

[SPEAKER_00]: So those managers came and they weren't in the best condition, trust me told they were I mean that's suspected like I don't really know where it's not about it but it was worried about that maybe being that late draw that you hear about so that was when Calam was running and I was sure none at home and he said it's really didn't [SPEAKER_00]: In one awful lot about it but we were having a good look at them and he just said get them in the detail, give them a good scrubbing clean and I was looking online about it too about things to do.

[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, they went into the detail and then gave them a good scrub.

[SPEAKER_00]: and then I put them in some dish water where I dish water like ferial liquid and water and a wee bit by carps over there.

[SPEAKER_00]: So they've cleaned up, cleaned up, fine.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're still a cutlery details that aren't great but now that they've been primed in Zenith or they don't look too bad.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I was just listening back doing the edit there and I thought I'd jump into clarifying some.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't actually think I should have said this but I don't actually think it is [SPEAKER_00]: about 94 and again you may be no more about this in ms entirely likely but for what I've read like they're a bit later than like minatures you would expect to get ledra like I think they were kind of made a little bit differently at that period in time so I don't think it is ledra I think what's happened with them is that they've been basically poorly stored for you know potentially [SPEAKER_00]: say outside in a garage or a damp hot or something like that, basically it's almost like we bits a rust on them or just like I say I reckon they've just been stored in suboptimal conditions maybe a bit of a damp and cold in that so I think that's what's happened here and they've cleaned up I don't think it's ledra but again every chance you know more about this than me and you either think to yourself it's definitely ledra or it couldn't possibly be ledra [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, back to me walking about in the woods.

[SPEAKER_00]: At least that gets them signed up for the RealMov chaos team and I'll hopefully be getting a wee game with them pretty soon.

[SPEAKER_00]: And on this objective blog, I also made some markers for it so like if you play Budboy yourself, you'll be aware of like, you know when you take a turn, it's quite hard to track, which players have moved, you've also got like you could be prone, so you're putting them, [SPEAKER_00]: Is that face down and then stunned this face up or vice versa?

[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, there's quite a few different like situations where you're a player.

[SPEAKER_00]: It'd be good to know visually what's going on and it's not always that obvious.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know there's this thing about like when you activate a player just tunnel him to face the other way.

[SPEAKER_00]: and I just didn't really like doing that um like aesthetically and it just it just came to felt a bit naff as well so um I had a big bunch of 50 mil I think they were round bases so I big batch of them and [SPEAKER_00]: I painted up a lot of them like, we're 22, I painted them green so that you could start each turn and you just like, all the miniatures were sitting on these bases and as you activate it, you would just remove them from underneath.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, [SPEAKER_00]: That was working well when I tested it out and then I made some red ones for prone players and just kept other ones black for stone players.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that's quite good, like it's working quite well.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying it's anything groundbreaking people potentially do this.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've been doing it for years, [SPEAKER_00]: So that's what I've got, and then the ball as well, it was like the ball I was using, I think it was one of the balls from the set in the 90s, and it was tiny.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I had a baguette round base, it was even baguette on 50ml, and I just put like grass effect on it and stuck the ball down on this sort of edge of it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So again, that's, I know that you can buy these things, or like plug the ball in the base of the [SPEAKER_00]: a decent way of just him known exactly where the ball is at at a glance sort of thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: Stainman with Blugball too like you know the the box set that I had in the the mid-90s have still got the still got a lot of the plastic players so the human and art players from that set.

[SPEAKER_00]: and I dug them all out and half them were painted, you know painted by like a 12-year-old and half them were still just bare plastics so I counted them both off I had exactly 11 orcs so like you had and that said you had like the black orc blockers you had the the thruers the blitzers the lineman [SPEAKER_00]: Did you have an orc catcher?

[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember, you probably did, but I don't think I've got one of those, and then the humans say the things I had, a lot of linemen, a couple of catchers, couple of blitzers, didn't have a human throw, but anyway, like I had 10 humans, I love an orcs, I thought that's a good start.

[SPEAKER_00]: So some of them had to go in the details, well I made a bit of a mistake with that initially because I had soaked them and then I was scrubbing the paint off with a toothbrush but I put it under the the running water so the bulk of the paint came off [SPEAKER_00]: But on hindsight, I looked in at it and they told seems to react to the water in the paint and it It's almost like tar or gloop.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure Calam told me about this to be honest.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure I'm sure a four-worn mirror that's namaste.

[SPEAKER_00]: I must have agreed without actually taking it on board But I fear them came out and they didn't look very good at all when I was thinking I don't know if they are like Is that actually damaged the plastic or what but again, I did a little bit of research and it said now just get them back in the detail [SPEAKER_00]: for a good 12 hours or so, and then when you take them out, scrub them with a toothbrush but don't involve water in the process like just use that towel which goes away, scrub them away, let them dry, you know, if you see any paint left over after that, do the same again but only clean them up with a water, one sure satisfied that you've got all the paint off and that's what I did and that's exactly what happened, so there is good as new now.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I just need to get on with Basin Norman and paint them basically for the human side because like again it will be a while before I get a game of these guys but only have the container them and I thought to myself and that actually just knocked some of the else up to be the 11th player so I do we look in the drawing of course a couple of years ago some of you will know that like I bought that we set a picked warriors from Foundry [SPEAKER_00]: and for some reason like they're all naked.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really, I mean, I say I don't know much about tube out packs, I read a fair bit about them.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they walked about with no trousers on, honestly don't.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if they did, it certainly must have been a different climate than it is now up here.

[SPEAKER_00]: But at least guys are all that are all naked.

[SPEAKER_00]: They've got the meat and veg hanging out.

[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, this guy, I thought like I could just move his arm, he didn't have a weapon.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I could move his arm, put a shoulder pad on him, where I've made the cut to kind of move the arm, and just make our ball, we're getting stuff, and Bob's your uncle there he was.

[SPEAKER_00]: Was it Tom and the discord that said it's Bob he's got, so just this little naked blitzer.

[SPEAKER_00]: All good fun, he'll make a nice narrative edition against him, an outdoor amateur team, that's maybe what we'll call them actually.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I did the picture keep on giving, and then I was recently like, I was in the short and centre when my daughter and she likes to go in, I don't know if where you are, they've got the works, it's like a big stationary shop, but it books and stuff, but upstairs they've got her.

[SPEAKER_00]: I came to Arts and Crafts area, and it's always really cheap stuff, but like pretty decent stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, I was up there, and there'd these wee mushrooms were like, you know it's in a section where it's like barthouses and garden ornaments, I guess.

[SPEAKER_00]: I suppose the ideas that you create stuff and decorate them and that.

[SPEAKER_00]: So these wee mushrooms, these wee baguette mushrooms, that sounds dodgy but a one pound baguette mushrooms.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I picked up two of those and I thought I could make a nice wee sort of shrimp forest to rain feature and you get that like air dry and clay on Amazon.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a five-or.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I used that to create the bases.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean to be clumps of these Stocked the Stuck the mushrooms down once it was dry and Used the valley whole ground texture stuff just to base it basically so now I've sprayed it black Make sure it's all covered black and then I've zenith all that as well [SPEAKER_00]: So it's ready to take a wee paint basically, but that's a nice wee cheap, easy and quite satisfying to make terrain features there, so that's pretty cold, I don't often do stuff like that, I don't often make terrain.

[SPEAKER_00]: So another than that, I guess it's about it, my creative skills have been stretched to cosplay but I'm not recently because [SPEAKER_00]: I've got the Thundercats box, like the DVD's, my wife got me some years and years ago, like over 10 years ago.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I showed them, I'm a daughter who's four.

[SPEAKER_00]: I thought she'd like to see the Princess of Power.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, you know, it's made in the 2020's.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's still pretty good, like, but she watches that.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I thought, like, she maybe receptive to the Thundercats, but I didn't expect that she would like.

[SPEAKER_00]: Seems to be one of the kids that once she gets into something, she goes all out and I suppose that's probably any kid but we watch like the first episode and she's really in it, she was like come and watch another one so like three or four episodes later she was like suddenly it's her favorite thing and she loved what I like it.

[SPEAKER_00]: probably just because that's the way you get it on it so you're saying like could you get me a while you get dressed up costume and I was saying I don't know but I don't think you can get those and you know if you could it was probably like 40 years ago but I don't know if you're rudimentary look around and of course it's not the sort of thing you could buy so made my wife had just looked up some cheap materials like a sort of purple long t-shirt and [SPEAKER_00]: You get the cylinder catch badges for pretty cheap and a little belt and that's why we managed to knock something together, got a red wagon like spray the black line down it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know if she'll be winning any competitions with it, but [SPEAKER_00]: Which is actually, she's not seen it, she gets home tonight, so we'll show her then, and I have no doubt she'll be critical of it, she's still at that age because she very much says what she feels without any thought for being tactical, but we've done her best with it, so I thundercats cosplay, not some method to be working on this month, but I did it to my, I did it to my last anyway.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, by the way, if you're interested in looking at photos of anything that I've mentioned in my update, then I just put it by post on the site, all the various pictures.

[SPEAKER_00]: You'll find that bedroombattlefields.com forward slash September.

[SPEAKER_00]: You'll see everything on there from the 15 mil guys to the [SPEAKER_00]: The shroom forest has even got the thundercats cause play cost you them up there as well So bedroombattlefills.com slash September this video find it and I'll of course put a link in the showbox as well so you can grab that wherever you're listening [SPEAKER_00]: But that really is it, now from me, so a bit of a lengthy update, I think, but I am away on holiday so I won't be getting much done over the next couple of weeks.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going away next week.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I had expect not to be a reportman with very much at the end of October, but nevertheless I hope you're able to, so if you've enjoyed this episode, if you feel motivated after [SPEAKER_00]: for a October and November episode you can send in your clip, any point in the month by going to bedroombattlefields.com for a nice voice mail and I look forward to hearing what you're up to basically.

[SPEAKER_00]: Alright that is just about it for this episode of the table top manager and hobby podcast.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks again for listening and we'll talk again on the next one.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hang on, one more clip.

[SPEAKER_00]: Don't recognize the name.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see what this is.

[SPEAKER_12]: Hello, it is Dan Adam here.

[SPEAKER_12]: Hello Matthew and associated Matthew listeners.

[SPEAKER_12]: I hope that you all haven't had a great time.

[SPEAKER_12]: I'm here to tell you about what I'm painting, what we're painting.

[SPEAKER_12]: I'm interested here.

[SPEAKER_12]: What you guys are painting too.

[SPEAKER_12]: So I'm definitely not painting a song of ice in fire right now.

[SPEAKER_12]: I think the [SPEAKER_12]: that English-speaking world and their butlers and gardeners know that I have been paying the song advice of fire, but I'm definitely not painted in that in the moment, I'm definitely not painting house grade joy, definitely not painting some drowned men who are a bunch of guys who aren't particularly great at fighting, they get actually drowned if you don't know about the game of thrones world, they kind of actually get taken out to see and drowned until they [SPEAKER_12]: to they breathe in all the water and then they drag them back to the beach and if they wake up then yay you get to go to war.

[SPEAKER_12]: If you don't wake up, oh dear, try next time.

[SPEAKER_12]: So they're not particularly great if I put they are good at kind of wobbling and mowing in in the background and inspiring other great joy choices to higher feats of pillaging and excess.

[SPEAKER_12]: So I'm definitely not painting those definitely not paint and sea greens and sea blues, definitely not paint and some sea weed, [SPEAKER_12]: Peyton though, which might make it surprise you, been keeping us a secret just so Matthew doesn't get embarrassed, but now feels like the time to do it.

[SPEAKER_12]: It's actually Peyton, Matthew, in an oil painting.

[SPEAKER_12]: So I decided to paint Matthew through the medium of canvas and oil paint.

[SPEAKER_12]: And he is standing in a big field of heather.

[SPEAKER_12]: He's got his hands on his hips, a big smile on his face, and he's got one foot [SPEAKER_12]: He's wearing a Tamashanta hat with a little bit to ginger hair, coming down the side.

[SPEAKER_12]: He's wearing a big white vest type fit in white vest that says Scottish referendum.

[SPEAKER_12]: And he's got his kill time.

[SPEAKER_12]: It's really, really good.

[SPEAKER_12]: But what's interesting about the painting is not necessarily Matthew and a field of heather with, you know, for unabolder, et cetera, et cetera.

[SPEAKER_12]: It's that I actually decided to paint it, not use in my hands.

[SPEAKER_12]: So I decided to use like a money type.

[SPEAKER_12]: style, because I wasn't using my hands, you know, some monos, like more kind of blobs and smears as opposed to, as opposed to actual traditional painting methods.

[SPEAKER_12]: So yeah, I sometimes put the put a treat there, put the brush out like this and kind of distance what's that up.

[SPEAKER_12]: I kind of put it between my elbows, the paintbrush between my elbows at all the points, which is good.

[SPEAKER_12]: I put it between my feet, you know, either between two toes on one foot or [SPEAKER_12]: It did that sometimes and the best one this I the best one is that I actually put it between my butt cheeks So not sticking out horizontally how you might maybe think that you'd put a paintbrush between your butt cheek I'd put like the paint brush head pointing down So when I was doing the hair there, especially I would kind of squirt it.

[SPEAKER_12]: Let's go over the painting canvas and kind of like dab on the [SPEAKER_12]: the blobs of the heads of Heather.

[SPEAKER_12]: So, so they go not painting the song twice in fire, actually painting Matthew.

[SPEAKER_12]: So yeah, happy painting everybody.
