[SPEAKER_00]: brought to you by BedroomBattleField.com.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is the table top miniature movie podcast.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hello and welcome to the table top miniature hobby podcast.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's Matthew with you here and throughout the month of August, twenty twenty five.

[SPEAKER_00]: We really go back to basics with the question of the month and just ask you to give us an update about your hobby.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know what's got your, what's got your juices flown at the moment in terms of what you paint them, what you're prepping for, what games are on your mind.

[SPEAKER_00]: So we got a really good response from that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited to dive in and play these clips.

[SPEAKER_00]: and I reckon we're going to keep this going for the foreseeable future with the question of the ones just kind of turn at least short term into an opportunity for monthly hobby updates and we can start following everyone's progress.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe even get a bit of accountability in there as well we'll see how that goes but I just really enjoy listening to what everyone's up to and based on the feedback that I've had from [SPEAKER_00]: It less than as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think a lot of people are in the same boat.

[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to keep that going and it's September.

[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get to that the end.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll kind of update you on all of that.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, enough from me.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get into the clip some sales and then I'll catch up with you on the other end.

[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, this is Rob from Melbourne Australia calling for dealer on the internet.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'd like to tell you about the Venn diagram of my hobby interests at the moment, which is Wonky Addies Dorves, one-page rules, regiments, and narrative eventball gaming.

[SPEAKER_02]: So lately I've been building and painting some strange contraptions for my ongoing dwarf army.

[SPEAKER_02]: Steam tanky, wallwagony sort of things, pony riders, and I'm slowly working the way on a big landship juggernaut.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm building these partly for the love of those old-addy sculpts, and the kit-bashy stuff that came along with them, partly towards a big narrative game I'm putting on an event with what we're running down here in October.

[SPEAKER_02]: There's been a bit of chat on the discord lately about how you actually run those kind of conversions and additions in a game, both in the sense of how that fits within the constraints of official lists and something like Warhammer and the broader challenge of [SPEAKER_02]: how you introduce homebrew rules into whatever your game in context happens to be.

[SPEAKER_02]: And that brings me to one page rules.

[SPEAKER_02]: The system's fundamental feature is its general lightness of rules, hence the name, which has its limitations.

[SPEAKER_02]: The strategic complexity is dialed back a bit.

[SPEAKER_02]: though in regiments the rank and flank movement constraints do a power of work.

[SPEAKER_02]: And armies can also feel a little bit samey, but one of the things I particularly love about the system is the access it grants you to the back end.

[SPEAKER_02]: As a subscriber, which is five American dollars a month and you don't need to have that on going, you get access to the back end.

[SPEAKER_02]: You can build army books [SPEAKER_02]: from the ground up and I've been able to build the dwarf book or a dwarf book that feels like a one to a bit old hammery with interesting choices and trade-offs and all the strange toys you'd see popping up in the nineteen eighties magazines and from all the different manufacturers [SPEAKER_02]: You get access to the same rules and the costing levers as the official books, and if you stay within them, your book gets this big balanced sticker, which is wonderfully permissive and reassuring when it comes to convincing people to play against whatever horrible contraption you've come up with.

[SPEAKER_02]: That lightness of rules also for me makes it a perfect platform for narrative multiplayer events.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's quick to teach to anyone unfamiliar with the system.

[SPEAKER_02]: They can just pick it up and run with it.

[SPEAKER_02]: You can build those custom lists for whatever you need to throw onto the table.

[SPEAKER_02]: And that general lightness frees up headspace for all kinds of narrative shenanigans.

[SPEAKER_02]: I cannot recommend it enough.

[SPEAKER_09]: I back here's Mark.

[SPEAKER_09]: What's got my hobby juice flowing at the moment?

[SPEAKER_09]: Well, lots of things really.

[SPEAKER_09]: I'm still finishing off my Wood Elf project and my Bretonians, which I'm really enjoying.

[SPEAKER_09]: I've got some Seventy V stuff.

[SPEAKER_09]: I've got to finish off some burrows and badges because I got last year that I haven't made to jet.

[SPEAKER_09]: that with the second edition of the game I'm looking forward to getting painted up.

[SPEAKER_09]: But my main thing on the horizon is a dogs of war army that I've been slowly putting together, getting proxy models, kid-bashing things, finding things that [SPEAKER_09]: suit the profiles and suit the descriptions in that army book from the Federation of Warhammer.

[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm looking at doing that for the call of the crown challenge that David is running over on the crown of command community.

[SPEAKER_09]: This autumn.

[SPEAKER_09]: So that's really kind of game excited.

[SPEAKER_09]: I think it's a chance to do some weird and wacky stuff.

[SPEAKER_09]: It's a chance to be quite imaginative with the descriptions and reinterpret things in a more creative way.

[SPEAKER_09]: So very much.

[SPEAKER_09]: that whole freedom of it, your game, do it your way and it's your army, put it together, you're in your particular style with those conversions and kickbashes that.

[SPEAKER_09]: Just make it stand out and feel like it's your own.

[SPEAKER_09]: So that's my current project, really looking forward to it and I'm very much looking forward to finding out what everyone else is doing.

[SPEAKER_09]: The other big thing on the horizon that's got my juices flowing is just simply playing more games.

[SPEAKER_09]: I've played quite a bit this year.

[SPEAKER_09]: It's been great.

[SPEAKER_09]: The most I've ever played and the long-made continued.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, Jason.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hello, he's Luke Keith on the Discord.

[SPEAKER_03]: On my painting table this week is dwarfs.

[SPEAKER_03]: I've been working on my dwarf army for about a year and a half now, and these are my final bits.

[SPEAKER_03]: An involve doom and a throne of power.

[SPEAKER_03]: I've been holding off painting the throne of power as I want it to be the final piece to my army.

[SPEAKER_03]: I've kept telling myself that I can't paint it until I finished everything else, and now I'm almost done next time.

[SPEAKER_03]: The angle of doom is finishing first though, as I'm going to the misfire tournaments in October, and I definitely need to take it with me.

[SPEAKER_03]: I've been playing a lot of fifth edition more on my recently to get myself up to speed to this event.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to win, but I'd like to be fluent with the rules and maybe not lose all the matches.

[SPEAKER_03]: What I'm looking forward to is finishing the dwarfs and starting a new project of arts and goblins.

[SPEAKER_03]: As much as I love the dwarf miniatures, when I use them, I don't really like how slow they are or how they are on the ball to magic.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully the ox and goblins will suit me more.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm thinking that I'll want more agile troops like ball riders on walls.

[SPEAKER_03]: I've already got a few goblins ball riders, so I'll see how I get on.

[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks for the podcast Luke.

[SPEAKER_01]: Hello Matthew, and hello podcast listeners.

[SPEAKER_01]: This is Johann, calling in from Taiwan again.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm T.J.

[SPEAKER_01]: Jivis on the discord.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just trying to sneak in a little answer here before it's too late.

[SPEAKER_01]: I know Matthew said he delayed, putting the editing the episode, so I might get a chance to actually get an answer in this time.

[SPEAKER_01]: In any case, I'm answering the question, what's got your hobby just flowing right now?

[SPEAKER_01]: So we just returned back from long summer vacation with my family and that's been great and rejuvenating and I had all these ideas for hobby projects that I want to get started and when I came back I felt kind of overwhelmed because there was just so much stuff that I that I wanted to get into and so many half projects that I want to continue and so I've kind of been stalling and not jumping right back into the hobby but I have been just before we left on our break [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, painting some forty-k orcs.

[SPEAKER_01]: These are three printed ones.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I found some really interesting ork stls.

[SPEAKER_01]: So really fun ones.

[SPEAKER_01]: I printed them out and I've had a really fun time painting them.

[SPEAKER_01]: And actually didn't realize our fun orcs are to paint.

[SPEAKER_01]: I might get tired of painting green skin.

[SPEAKER_01]: but right now I am really enjoying it and as I always say like viewing joy and painting a specific project or doing a specific project just keep doing that you know get as far as you can until enthusiasm runs out because there's nothing as [SPEAKER_01]: enjoyable as trying to force yourself to finish a specific project that's not really finding an interest in.

[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I'm enjoying painting some orcs that I was having really fun because I don't have any orcs, you know, forty k orcs, so this has been pretty fun to get into.

[SPEAKER_01]: On the fantasy side, I have rescued a bunch of scaven, these are the scaven from the scaven type box.

[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody sold them locally.

[SPEAKER_01]: They were already assembled and painted, but both are assembly and the painting left a lot to be desired.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I've been pulling these apart and restaking them to their bases and putting them again, trying to fix them.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it's been a bit of a rescue project and that's been fun.

[SPEAKER_01]: Slowly working on that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Other than that, in terms of gaming during our holiday, I had a few books be delivered to books or RPGs, which I won't get into, but I have received a book that I'm really excited about, and that's five leagues from the borderlands third edition.

[SPEAKER_01]: This is published by Medifice, and it is by Ivan Sorenson.

[SPEAKER_01]: So, really excited to get into that.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I also have one-hour ancient medieval and skirmish war games by John Lams hit on the table that I have been looking to getting into again.

[SPEAKER_01]: Alright, so that's me.

[SPEAKER_01]: I hope you guys have a great week and thanks again Matthew for doing this awesome podcast.

[SPEAKER_01]: Bye bye.

[SPEAKER_10]: Hello Matthew.

[SPEAKER_10]: At the moment on the painting table is Necromander, more Necromander and even more Necromander.

[SPEAKER_10]: I have a gang of rat skins that I'm slowly working my way through.

[SPEAKER_10]: And a gang of cord, or that are a kitchen to be painted.

[SPEAKER_10]: In the posts are some extra.

[SPEAKER_10]: Unfortunately, not as many as I'd like.

[SPEAKER_10]: And my has to like are already painted, though, I might re-based.

[SPEAKER_10]: That is the rule set also that is getting me going at the moment.

[SPEAKER_10]: Not the current version of the game, but the nineteen ninety-five original.

[SPEAKER_10]: I find it fun, quirky, accessible, and...

did I mention the fun?

[SPEAKER_10]: Also, a lot of the TT combat MDF terrain has managed to, where we get to where it's over to me.

[SPEAKER_10]: And I'm in the process of painting more of that.

[SPEAKER_10]: It's great.

[SPEAKER_10]: I've been having a lot of fun with my sons.

[SPEAKER_10]: They've been playing mostly whatever I have painted, but my youngest son, Jack, has painted up his own set of plastic all-ox.

[SPEAKER_10]: He's very fond of the heavy stubborn.

[SPEAKER_10]: He has two of them.

[SPEAKER_10]: So far, so good.

[SPEAKER_10]: We've played about six games, so far, and we want to play some more.

[SPEAKER_10]: I'd like to get a regular campaign going at some point.

[SPEAKER_10]: Now, as far as what's on the way, I know I've got one of my missing corridor jubes on his way, but I suppose this would be a good time to have a call out.

[SPEAKER_10]: If anyone is in the United States, and they happen to have a draw full of necrbundermannies that they don't think they're going to paint, let me know.

[SPEAKER_10]: very interesting.

[SPEAKER_10]: I'm James Dern on the Discord server.

[SPEAKER_10]: Each time a different name on there, but when packages started arriving with my Discord handle, that took some explaining at the apartment office.

[SPEAKER_10]: But yes, Necromander, it's brilliant.

[SPEAKER_10]: I have a great time with it.

[SPEAKER_10]: I originally started collecting some of the plastic meanings for myself and realized that [SPEAKER_10]: I had no interest whatsoever in painting them.

[SPEAKER_10]: But mental ones, those ones, they get me going.

[SPEAKER_15]: Matthew, it's a Ryan down one down from the discord.

[SPEAKER_15]: I just call it in with the answer to the question the month basically what's got our hobby juices flowing right now and I thought this was a great question.

[SPEAKER_15]: kind of a general question, but I'm really excited to hear what everybody's got to say is on their table and on their mind.

[SPEAKER_15]: So for me, I've got three, three games right now that are either being actively played or being planned for.

[SPEAKER_15]: So my main, my main obsession is a strong word.

[SPEAKER_15]: My main focus in the hobby right now is on Halo Flashpoint, a big fan of Dead Zone, always have been of Mantic's Dead Zone.

[SPEAKER_15]: And actually was never Xbox kid, you know, had play stations for the most part.

[SPEAKER_15]: But I did pick up the remastered Halo collection on Steam and I've been playing through that and absolutely loving it.

[SPEAKER_15]: You know, when Halo Flashpoint came out, it was basically the Halo version of Dead Zone last year.

[SPEAKER_15]: I grabbed onto it and immediately fell in love with it.

[SPEAKER_15]: Please really fast.

[SPEAKER_15]: There's no tape measure, everything's grid based, but you still have two line of sight.

[SPEAKER_15]: So you still get that war game feeling.

[SPEAKER_15]: We start to do, but you don't have all the fiddliness of, you know, you have more of a board game as far as movement and range goes.

[SPEAKER_15]: And there's small squads and games are generally pretty quick.

[SPEAKER_15]: So that's it, that's been my main game.

[SPEAKER_15]: Probably the next game on my list is a really small game called Blackout.

[SPEAKER_15]: It's a near future kind of a sci-fi modernish war game.

[SPEAKER_15]: It's got a lot of tactical decisions in it that I hadn't seen in other games.

[SPEAKER_15]: It knows mechanics for leaning out around corners and cover is always for the most part.

[SPEAKER_15]: Some amount of cover is assumed unless you're just completely out in the open.

[SPEAKER_15]: Combat's really really lethal.

[SPEAKER_15]: So models tend to go down quick.

[SPEAKER_15]: which means games tend to go quick has a reaction system similar to what I'd say is infinity honestly it has a lot it feels a lot like infinity except it doesn't make my brain hurt so [SPEAKER_15]: It's been, it's been a lot of fun to get into.

[SPEAKER_15]: There's a group playing at one of the local game stores here in town and I've been playing with them.

[SPEAKER_15]: And I mean, you can, you can legitimately get a full game finished in under an hour.

[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, even forty five minutes, which is, which is just wild to me as someone who loves, we're gaming, but doesn't love the idea of sitting down for, you know, a four or five six hour session.

[SPEAKER_15]: So there's got a lot, blackout has a lot going for it in that sense.

[SPEAKER_15]: And then the last one is very recent.

[SPEAKER_15]: My manufacturers have in their summer sale, which means everything's about fifty percent off or less, but a lot of the big ones are fifty percent off.

[SPEAKER_15]: And I then recently started up on how their Skyrim play through, you know, against my own better judgment, but I can't seem to stay away.

[SPEAKER_15]: And I just kind of reminded myself of how much I enjoy, you know, just kind of living in that world and playing that game and kind of, you know, I think I'm really high level and still haven't, you know, progressed more in a few quests through the main quest line.

[SPEAKER_15]: So, modifus had their stuff on sale for fifty percent off and I ended up picking up a handful of the Skyrim models or the Elder Scrolls call to Arms models that they have a steals for and printed out [SPEAKER_15]: a few squads of those and some skeletons and joggers and stuff.

[SPEAKER_15]: And I think from a project standpoint, I'm looking forward to playing the Delve mode of that, which is their solo co-op mode, I'm either by myself or with some friends or family.

[SPEAKER_15]: And I've kind of in my mind constrained down to, what can I do with a small board space?

[SPEAKER_15]: I have a small board space on the brain lately.

[SPEAKER_15]: So I'm thinking, what can I do on a two by two board and still get a great experience out of it?

[SPEAKER_15]: So that's that's what that's what's what's on my plate so Great question and I'm like I said I'm really excited to hear what other folks have to say and Thank you so much and look forward to the next one.

[SPEAKER_15]: Thanks Matthew [SPEAKER_13]: Hey everybody, acts annex of the bad internet friends podcast here coming to answer the question of the month.

[SPEAKER_13]: What has my hobby juices flowing right now?

[SPEAKER_13]: Well, I'm pretty spicy still for battle tactic aces, the alpha strike solo game.

[SPEAKER_13]: And I'm just not working to prepare a campaign.

[SPEAKER_13]: So I have my player max mostly finished and I'm working on like first opt for right now.

[SPEAKER_13]: Mostly is though I'm still just sitting on my guess playing this in since we're being bold lines, but everyone's well pick up the brush and I'll paint something.

[SPEAKER_13]: Go a lot of priming done.

[SPEAKER_13]: I was pretty good.

[SPEAKER_13]: I get to crime at work, which is really nice.

[SPEAKER_13]: And yeah, typically summers are just too hot and busy for me to really.

[SPEAKER_13]: In a lot of hobby and done, so I just mostly kick into meat and smoke, so just working on the old, mold line, this really.

[SPEAKER_13]: Sometimes I glue, sometimes I get angry.

[SPEAKER_13]: Sometimes I glue things in the outbreak of them and then I get angry and then my wife feels that, which is what you even do in there.

[SPEAKER_13]: I'm like, I already have a no I'm hot and angry.

[SPEAKER_13]: by juices flowing, I guess I got hot angry juices.

[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, so that's about it.

[SPEAKER_13]: I'd say looking forward to either the winter coming and maybe work on some of the projects.

[SPEAKER_13]: Like, people keep talking in my local discord about Hothmark every once in a while that no one's holding the trigger.

[SPEAKER_13]: I'm pretty sure you get Hothmark back on the table, so.

[SPEAKER_13]: I might need to get my army finished painting painted, and then maybe a little harder, see if we can get some all-thmarked one again.

[SPEAKER_13]: Second edition is just around the corner after all.

[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, that's about all I got to say, so thanks a lot, and looking forward to hearing everyone else's responses.

[SPEAKER_13]: Bye-bye.

[SPEAKER_08]: Hey guys, this is Sebastian from Sweden, aka based on a discord server.

[SPEAKER_08]: So the question of the month, what's got your hobby juices flowing right now?

[SPEAKER_08]: Silver Bay and it still got those juices flowing for us.

[SPEAKER_08]: We're forcing areas deep.

[SPEAKER_08]: We're still loving the real system and we [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, fine and fun.

[SPEAKER_08]: And another thing that got our juices flowing is conflict for the seven and new edition.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's just me and a friend, but we're having tons of fun discussing weird work stuff and trying to build our custom armies instead of buying the official miniatures.

[SPEAKER_08]: And the third thing that got my juices flowing is about a new conversion kit for my airbrush.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's a badger, a Patriot, a hundred and five.

[SPEAKER_08]: So the conversion kit is you go from a Seropon five millimeter needle to a Seropon three millimeter needle.

[SPEAKER_08]: And that means I can paint more precise and smaller areas and just keep to the details and not, you know, get paint everywhere.

[SPEAKER_08]: So that's it for me.

[SPEAKER_08]: Thanks for a good podcast.

[SPEAKER_08]: Hope your summer has been nice.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's been very warm and I'm looking forward to the winter.

[SPEAKER_08]: Have a nice one.

[SPEAKER_08]: Bye bye.

[SPEAKER_14]: Hey Matthew, how you going guys?

[SPEAKER_14]: And thank you for this excellent question in the month, which I think everyone should have something to say about it, because people have generally things on their workbench, their painting, or miniature's their buying.

[SPEAKER_14]: And I hope to hear some really great feedback from all of your wonderful listeners here in this segment.

[SPEAKER_14]: But it says here, what's currently on your painting table?

[SPEAKER_14]: Well, I've got loads of forty-caste stuff.

[SPEAKER_14]: I've got a whole pile of space auks that I'm sort of currently trying to get through this month for myself for a personal project.

[SPEAKER_14]: Trying to expand the wire and I do why I'm with some golf knobs and some Scar Boys wonderful classic Kevin Scott some working on the moment.

[SPEAKER_14]: I really inspired by the excellent terrain work that [SPEAKER_14]: Dr.

Spork has been doing as well and so that's been really inspirational.

[SPEAKER_14]: I'm saying there's wonderful oak buildings that is being cleaned together.

[SPEAKER_14]: So I've been working on that because I've got an event to attend next month, late next month, which is the sustained fire event.

[SPEAKER_14]: So shout out to those guys in Australia as they run these.

[SPEAKER_14]: This is the third one they're running now.

[SPEAKER_14]: So I'm going to use Aussies who love second edition for DK, want to come along to enjoy a day of gaming with great guys, just relax atmosphere and just playing and rolling dice and having a laugh.

[SPEAKER_14]: then sustain fire is the place you need to be.

[SPEAKER_14]: So I'm really looking forward to catching up with long loss friends that I haven't spoken to or seen and many, many years.

[SPEAKER_14]: In some cases, over thirty years.

[SPEAKER_14]: So we really, really good to see those guys and catch up with them and place some classic forty-case second edition.

[SPEAKER_14]: So that's primarily the stuff I'm painting at the moment.

[SPEAKER_14]: Things I've been buying, I have bought some night goblins, some squeak herders, and some squeak hoppers.

[SPEAKER_14]: So I'm looking to expand my night goblin army and make it and preparing some other stuff like the Idel of Gort campaign for the fifth edition campaign series.

[SPEAKER_14]: I'm working towards a first scenario on that so I needed some extra gobbos to bolster the ranks.

[SPEAKER_14]: And I have just recently purchased through my awesome sponsor, that's Black Arrow Minis, I could make Scott.

[SPEAKER_14]: Some Phoenix Guard and a classic hero on Giant Eagle from Rorder Managers, which is a beautiful model.

[SPEAKER_14]: So I've been enjoying putting those together and going to prime those and paint those up soon.

[SPEAKER_14]: hopefully in a live stream maybe.

[SPEAKER_14]: So yeah, they're the ones I've been sort of buying and painting and the rules set I've got online is the fourth edition of what I've found a sea rule set.

[SPEAKER_14]: The guys have been doing a awesome job on doing some deep dives and we're covering [SPEAKER_14]: or Matthias and others have been covering the awesome scenarios that featured in White Toaf, looking at those in more of a deep dive as well, and we're looking at doing the magic supplements as well for that.

[SPEAKER_14]: So for the addition it is if people don't know my favourite addition in Warhammer Fantasy, so I love that classic look to the miniatures, the Night Goblins vs High Oles, [SPEAKER_14]: Well, the Empire vs the Green skins, all that kind of stuff is just, you know, it harked back to a great time in my life when I first discovered really the hobby.

[SPEAKER_14]: So, mate, look at just enclosing.

[SPEAKER_14]: Thanks again for some awesome podcasts.

[SPEAKER_14]: I really enjoy those as I paint through my working week.

[SPEAKER_14]: and thanks to all those other contributors, adding their voices to this segment, which has been really a pleasure to listen to over the last year or two.

[SPEAKER_14]: So, all the best mate, and I'll catch you for the next one, take care.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hi there, this is George, George Paints on Discord, and Old Hammer and Tom's over on YouTube.

[SPEAKER_04]: This is a great question.

[SPEAKER_04]: So, I've painted up a couple of road trader slash second edition, FortyK armies.

[SPEAKER_04]: of the last few years, space dwarves and embed moons this year.

[SPEAKER_04]: So Ed on discord is very kind to good in touch and hopefully we're going to have a second edition battle pretty soon once my life sorts itself out.

[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm really excited about that and really into that era of late eighties early nineties, forty care at the moment I'm loving it.

[SPEAKER_04]: But also a slight tangent crept into my life when I started reading through some some earlier white dwarfs and the sort of [SPEAKER_04]: issues, fifty to a hundred, so mid to those eighties.

[SPEAKER_04]: And sort of got into pre-slotaminatures.

[SPEAKER_04]: They are really fantastic.

[SPEAKER_04]: I sort of dismissed them thinking they're a bit sort of a bit crap.

[SPEAKER_04]: They're actually awesome.

[SPEAKER_04]: They're full of character.

[SPEAKER_04]: Some of them are really detailed.

[SPEAKER_04]: I discovered that Brian Ansel sculpted a bunch, which are great.

[SPEAKER_04]: So I picked those up for not very much.

[SPEAKER_04]: And also to discover some of the companies that still produce that style of miniature S-X Miniatures, I think it was Bob Olli who's sculpted for them in the ACs, and they're still producing those ranges now.

[SPEAKER_04]: All terms of armies have a bunch of the old houseguards, staff, Tony Actions who's sculpted for them.

[SPEAKER_04]: And of course, Foundry still have lots of those early Paris sculpts from the early Citadel days.

[SPEAKER_04]: So those miniatures just are brilliant, I love them.

[SPEAKER_04]: And many, many years ago, I bought the first edition fancy battle rule books.

[SPEAKER_04]: So I've been delving into those and I'm hoping at some point, I'll have a wee skirmish with your skirmish rule set using this wonderful pre-slotted menu.

[SPEAKER_04]: So that is my kind of size line in it.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm feeling enthusiastic about great question.

[SPEAKER_04]: Really enjoyed thinking about it.

[SPEAKER_04]: I can't wait to hear everyone else's responses.

[SPEAKER_04]: and thank you Matthew so much for your brilliant podcast.

[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you again.

[SPEAKER_06]: Bye bye.

[SPEAKER_06]: Hi Matthew.

[SPEAKER_06]: It's Martin here in the deep south of Hampshire.

[SPEAKER_06]: Martin is on the bedroom battlefields discord group.

[SPEAKER_06]: This is my quick answer to the latest question of the month.

[SPEAKER_06]: What's got your hobby juices flowing at the moment?

[SPEAKER_06]: My answer at the time of recording would be a lion rampant ornament which I'm going to in Coventry tomorrow.

[SPEAKER_06]: It'll be run by the Coventry Simulators, a very friendly bunch of all gamers.

[SPEAKER_06]: I think we'll be getting three or four games in the day, the atmosphere there is always great, and the rampant series of rules are enormous fun.

[SPEAKER_06]: Another thing which has me fired up at the moment is that a campaign being proposed by Maullin Jack Tar, the Lens to Based Blogger on the Projects and Procrastination Blog.

[SPEAKER_06]: He's planning a small ancient campaign and has asked if I would run a few of the battles, as he's unlikely to have enough time to run all of them himself.

[SPEAKER_06]: I'll probably play most of those solo, something I personally enjoy.

[SPEAKER_06]: But I may get other players at Farmbra or elsewhere involved.

[SPEAKER_06]: I always love it when a battle is linked into the bigger picture by a campaign setting.

[SPEAKER_06]: Anyways, looking forward to other people's responses on this wide-ranging and diverse subject.

[SPEAKER_06]: Cheers for now and thanks as always for the podcast and blog.

[SPEAKER_11]: Hello Matthew, it's Ed from Sussex and the Discord.

[SPEAKER_11]: just calling up to talk about what's got my hobby juices flowing right now.

[SPEAKER_11]: So there's a few things that have got me excited about the hobby at the moment.

[SPEAKER_11]: First up, Blubble.

[SPEAKER_11]: My local club is running a Blubble tournament in November.

[SPEAKER_11]: So I've been getting some tunes painted.

[SPEAKER_11]: The second edition box, the third edition box set.

[SPEAKER_11]: Blubble teams.

[SPEAKER_11]: I've been working on including the arts and a bit of these humans as well.

[SPEAKER_11]: I accidentally ended up painting a full goblin team as well to your alongside that and probably the most fun in terms of the hobby painting.

[SPEAKER_11]: I got the nineteen eighties dark elves team from nineteen eighty eight along with a couple of witch elves from the same period painted up.

[SPEAKER_11]: It's been really good fun.

[SPEAKER_11]: Had a couple of games which I've also really enjoyed.

[SPEAKER_11]: So looking forward to getting a little bit more of that done in terms of the plane, probably not going to be a huge amount of painting between now and the tournament, as I've got a bunch of teams now.

[SPEAKER_11]: So yeah, that's the first thing that's got me excited to hobby.

[SPEAKER_11]: The next hobby project that I am currently working on and has got me really excited is a second edition, forty-cay, particularly some arc stuff.

[SPEAKER_11]: which I'm getting painted up ready for an army garden campaign and running at my local club.

[SPEAKER_11]: This means that I finally finished my last piece of the Goff Artillery battery that I'd been working on and I have three absolutely bonkers or cannons.

[SPEAKER_11]: I'm currently painting an oak dreadnought to go alongside the classic card dreadnought that I have.

[SPEAKER_11]: And I've got a gas-goal mad thracker [SPEAKER_11]: model FAT, I've got two of them that I'm painting up.

[SPEAKER_11]: The reason I'm painting two is I don't generally play with special characters.

[SPEAKER_11]: So I'm going to be using those models as knobs for my goff.

[SPEAKER_11]: When I got full band, but in the campaign, I will be having some special characters appear.

[SPEAKER_11]: We're hoping to have that classic commissioner, york versus gas goal moment that never happens in the law.

[SPEAKER_11]: out on the table.

[SPEAKER_11]: We'll see where that happens or not.

[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, that's really fun.

[SPEAKER_11]: I've got some doctor sport terrain to get painted for it as well.

[SPEAKER_11]: I'm hoping you'll get that done in time.

[SPEAKER_11]: It should be a little bit closer to the marking terms of whether I actually manage it in time or not.

[SPEAKER_11]: But at least if I can get a few pieces of the classic safe and addition box set, three deep print ruins done.

[SPEAKER_11]: They'll look great on the tabletop alongside the other club members.

[SPEAKER_11]: old hammer themed terrain.

[SPEAKER_11]: And then the final theme which I'm sure will shock everyone.

[SPEAKER_11]: I am currently editing and we're in layout for a fan expansion for space builders.

[SPEAKER_11]: So this is less gaming in terms of actually getting rid of stuff ready to go on the table and more kind of preparing [SPEAKER_11]: putting into place all the work that the space widow's community has done in terms of hacks and home brews and stuff into a cool little document, which hopefully, it's taking us a little bit of time to get it through layout, but hopefully at some point by the end of the year, we will have that ready to go on more games faults for a couple of bucks with all the proceeds going to charity.

[SPEAKER_11]: So those are my hobby projects at the moment.

[SPEAKER_11]: some which are more or less done with games upcoming, some which are working on full games that are imminent and one which is a working progress and hopefully will provide a lot of other people some additional resources for playing space with those games.

[SPEAKER_11]: Anyway, really looking forward to hearing what everyone else has to say and what projects are getting everyone else's juices flying.

[SPEAKER_11]: Cheers all the best.

[SPEAKER_07]: Hi, it's Dave here.

[SPEAKER_07]: Talking about what hobby things I'm excited for right now.

[SPEAKER_07]: It's kind of funny.

[SPEAKER_07]: My hobbying tends to be a bit of a like movable face you've got.

[SPEAKER_07]: Any number of projects on the back burner at any time and just strange circumstances tend to just send me off in one direction or another.

[SPEAKER_07]: You know, I can be on a real sculpting kick and then run out of green stuff and then just don't sculpt anything for months because they don't bother getting any more.

[SPEAKER_07]: And then yeah.

[SPEAKER_07]: recently finished building and painting the Orc-Gob's Masha, which then led to wanting to play Forty Kay for the first time in absolute years.

[SPEAKER_07]: So putting the Orc army together for that we had.

[SPEAKER_07]: requirement for a truck which we pulled out of multiple the the battle bus which then needed pins and up as well and pin up the battle bus has sort of kickstarted the battle bus game project [SPEAKER_07]: which we're now sort of throwing ourselves into a bit more.

[SPEAKER_07]: So the battle bus is basically like a boxing ring on the back of a flatbed truck and my son had this notion.

[SPEAKER_07]: Back in the day when we made sledgey the sledgehammer, which is the way boxing gloves hedgehog guy were played like a wee boxing game.

[SPEAKER_07]: It was a bit weird, it wasn't great rules because there was too much random rule to see what you can do and sort of been working on this.

[SPEAKER_07]: How do you play a boxing game where you have two combatants and actual options for things to do?

[SPEAKER_07]: So I don't really have the rules I'd for it, but it's kind of a cross between, I think the inspiration was Gorkmoreka.

[SPEAKER_07]: We had a game of Gorkmoreka probably like, [SPEAKER_07]: five or six years ago, and the idea is of, orcs just piling onto your truck and having a real slow bonaker was always just the best kind of game.

[SPEAKER_07]: I'll never since Noah's been wanting to just recreate that experience, I think.

[SPEAKER_07]: He's not that interested in orcs shooting each other or vehicles, shooting other orcs vehicles.

[SPEAKER_07]: It's anything like that.

[SPEAKER_07]: He just wants to do like a boxing game on a truck.

[SPEAKER_07]: That's what we're up to.

[SPEAKER_07]: There's also a Lord of the Rings kind of thing all of a minute.

[SPEAKER_07]: He's putting together like a more door on me.

[SPEAKER_07]: Which, it's all right.

[SPEAKER_07]: I'm not that super excited.

[SPEAKER_07]: But he's enjoying it.

[SPEAKER_07]: He's learned to paint these painting arcs.

[SPEAKER_07]: He's also been painting some of his tomb kings himself as well.

[SPEAKER_07]: So that's being great to sort of watch and get into painting.

[SPEAKER_07]: You know, probably for the first time.

[SPEAKER_07]: And I'm sort of getting a few pointers with that and helping him, you know, to [SPEAKER_07]: pick up some skills and get some good results.

[SPEAKER_07]: And yeah, coming up, looking forward to the terrain project.

[SPEAKER_07]: We'll try and get along to that.

[SPEAKER_07]: We might do like an R here and then stop into the event sort of, learn R as long as we can, depending on how the [SPEAKER_07]: by the time and goes.

[SPEAKER_07]: So yeah, there'll be a bit of train stuff happening.

[SPEAKER_07]: We're thinking about maybe making, or thank items, bring those tubes.

[SPEAKER_07]: So we'll have a go at that.

[SPEAKER_07]: We'll have a go at that and see how that works.

[SPEAKER_07]: So yeah, looking forward to hearing what everybody is up to and catch us all soon.

[SPEAKER_07]: Cheers.

[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks.

[SPEAKER_05]: Hello, Matthew.

[SPEAKER_05]: Bruce here, aka Roll for Wounds on the Discord, answering August's question of the month.

[SPEAKER_05]: What got your hobby juices flowing?

[SPEAKER_05]: And that's a very apt question for me for twenty twenty five because this is the year that I've painted the furst amount of models.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's the lowest in terms of hobby spend I've had for for a long time which is let's be honest not bad thing.

[SPEAKER_05]: And it's the year that I've played the least amount of games and at my club and at home.

[SPEAKER_05]: Why is this?

[SPEAKER_05]: Have the harsh realities of life got in the way?

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, partially, I suppose, or have I lost my zest for hobbying?

[SPEAKER_05]: No, quite the opposite.

[SPEAKER_05]: In fact, this has been an incredible year for my hobby juices because it's the year that I've been developing a game of my own.

[SPEAKER_05]: And it, I didn't set out to.

[SPEAKER_05]: I just began scribbling a custom skirmish scenario as I'm sure a lot of you have done.

[SPEAKER_05]: and a custom skirmish scenario turned into an attempt at formatting a proper rule book and that turned into an analysis of the way rules are written.

[SPEAKER_05]: And then that led to custom dice and the custom dice led to custom character bashboards and that led to cards and that led to weapon profiles.

[SPEAKER_05]: And then it turned into, you know, the fluff that accompanies the book and then the single player versus multiplayer, all of the variables, play testing, etc.

[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm now, I'm now sitting on a sort of all singing or dancing prototype of a new game.

[SPEAKER_05]: And it's been so fun.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's been what has consumed my hobby for twenty twenty five.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's purely a labor of love.

[SPEAKER_05]: I will inflict it on other people.

[SPEAKER_05]: I will play test the heck out of it.

[SPEAKER_05]: And because the way I work is I'm a designer by trade.

[SPEAKER_05]: So I like to create the tangible things and get them printed and so on.

[SPEAKER_05]: So it's aware it leads.

[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_05]: It may well be that I just end up making one copy.

[SPEAKER_05]: I may end up making ten copies.

[SPEAKER_05]: I may pursue it further.

[SPEAKER_05]: But for now, I'm creating a game that I love.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not saying it's an amazing game, but I'm saying it's the type of game I like to play.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think it's quite different as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: and it's really scratch the itch.

[SPEAKER_05]: So yeah, I think that's the answer to the question of the month for me.

[SPEAKER_05]: As to what game it is?

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I would describe it as the great fire of London meets Dark Souls.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think that's an apps description.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's a kind of horror survival journey through the burnt husk of a city.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's solo, it's cooperative and it's got a sort of PVP element too.

[SPEAKER_05]: And yeah, good fun, good fun.

[SPEAKER_05]: Long May it last.

[SPEAKER_05]: I have no idea where it's going to take me in future.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm actually packing it up right now.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to noting them tomorrow and I'm going to inflict it upon one of my friends for another bout of play testing.

[SPEAKER_05]: But what reassures me is that the more I play test it, the more feedback I get, the fewer [SPEAKER_05]: annotations I make and I feel like it's really being patted into shape now as a possibly solid beta test, alpha test, beta test, I don't know how these things work.

[SPEAKER_05]: Anyway, that's enough rambling from me.

[SPEAKER_05]: So it was got my hobby juices flowing, seeing hunched over my laptop hacking away at rules.

[SPEAKER_05]: That's what I really should paint some muscles.

[SPEAKER_05]: got some forest governance on the desk, which I will get to, in due course.

[SPEAKER_05]: Anyway, thanks as always, I'm really excited to hear about what the people are up to, and wishing you all well on this very sunny Wednesday afternoon.

[SPEAKER_12]: Hello, everyone.

[SPEAKER_12]: Calum.

[SPEAKER_12]: Okay, Dr.

Sportcare.

[SPEAKER_12]: And as usual, I have more projects, and I can realistically handle [SPEAKER_12]: On the three-D printing side, I've listened to people's requests and have been designing some more fantasy terrain, as well as little something to celebrate the third anniversary of uploading my first design.

[SPEAKER_12]: I also need to work up a tutorial on how to paint three-D printed terrain for the paint all the many's website, which I'm hoping will come in useful to all the people who ask me that question.

[SPEAKER_12]: On a slightly more personal hobby level, I have set myself the rather ambitious goal of finishing painting my jean steel occult, and, building and priming my or con goblin army ready for the call of the crown painting challenge.

[SPEAKER_12]: Both of these'd be done before the end of September.

[SPEAKER_12]: As I said, I'm vicious.

[SPEAKER_12]: But I have faith.

[SPEAKER_12]: As right now I have been motivated through the roof by the spectacular work of Ed at Minisodes.

[SPEAKER_12]: If you haven't seen his latest battle report, I highly recommend it, especially the part starting nine minutes in.

[SPEAKER_12]: Anyway, thanks once again to Matthew for the podcast, and I look forward to hearing what everyone else is working on, and seeing your progress on the discord.

[SPEAKER_12]: Thanks.

[SPEAKER_00]: So there you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much to everyone who got their claps and are really enjoyed listening to everyone's excitement or plans or updates.

[SPEAKER_00]: And like I said, we're going to keep that going for September.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it's more and more of the same basically your hobby updates, your hobby progress, you know what you're paying, what you're playing, what you're prepping for.

[SPEAKER_00]: So you can send a clip on any time throughout the month of September, so long as you get it in before Monday the twenty-nineth.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just double checking the twenty-nineth.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's a Monday as indeed Monday the twenty-nineth of September as the deadline for the next round of hobby update.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I would love to hear updates from those who submitted and of course from yourself if you didn't get your opportunity.

[SPEAKER_00]: Go to BedroomBattlefields.com forward slash voice mail to submit your clip for September.

[SPEAKER_00]: You'll also find a link there on how to email it directly, or there's a software where you could hit record and record it directly on the page.

[SPEAKER_00]: And, again, it wouldn't be fair if I didn't provide my own update.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, I am planning a game of songy blades and heroes with Doctor Spork, who you'll have heard earlier.

[SPEAKER_00]: in this very episode so we are going to do a little mini campaign of song ablates in heroes featuring two rival nargo war bands so it's like some you'd find that a sitcom isn't it but I've got like a big nargo war band and I'm going to split it into for the purposes of this campaign because I've got a bit of a little sort of light story and a lot of different scenarios that we can play through so I'm looking forward to doing that song ablates in heroes is a great game for [SPEAKER_00]: campaigns and scenarios because it's so simple without being a basic, you know, it's still got flavor but it's so simple that the Rosary blend in at the background and you could focus on the root story and of course the tactics as well of the game as you play it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm really looking forward to getting to that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I also got a game of Bloodball and my good lady wife so we played on a Sunday morning.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was nice just to get a coffee.

[SPEAKER_00]: We usually do the crossword but I said, [SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, and I think me here and play a little game of Bloodbowse Evans, which she did, and that was her first time playing it together.

[SPEAKER_00]: And we got a basic handle on the rules.

[SPEAKER_00]: We did have to do a bit of flicking through the row book, but all that stuff all kind of, the more we play out, become ingrained, we'll have to do that less and less.

[SPEAKER_00]: But it's not the best laid out rule book and might have completely unqualified opinion.

[SPEAKER_00]: I did here recently on the bonehead podcast that there's been a new addition announced which doesn't affect me at all.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've got it already and by all accounts, the rules, you know, the stuff that's changed in the new addition is very, very minimal.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's of course an opportunity for games workshop to sell more stuff and that is their business model.

[SPEAKER_00]: So all power to them, but I totally happy with it the say that I've got and thankfully at that because that [SPEAKER_00]: I definitely couldn't handle putting together another one of their teams that's for sure.

[SPEAKER_00]: But away from the blood ball pitch and on it, the paint table, what I've got at the moment, so I finished up my Oaths warden ward band, so I had like rabbits in here.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I got them when I got back into the hobby and actually, and I had painted them and last year I stripped them because I wasn't really happy with it.

[SPEAKER_00]: And also, they're just really nice miniatures and I thought, you know, I've got a bit better at painting now with like another jacket this so.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm much much happier with how they're looking now.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like I say, that's a really brilliant manager.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love paint, nose, so it's like a couple of rabbits and hairs and then there's like a big sort of a raven, cruel, like sorcerer.

[SPEAKER_00]: Guys got a staff, so that was really good to paint as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm really happy with the way that they came up.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm hoping to get some photos on the blog at some point.

[SPEAKER_00]: finished up my etin from war bases so again another really cool miniature so he's got the two heads and the two clubs and a lot of skin on him he's as much as he probably lives in like a Scottish climate he's just walking about but like a loincloth on and some force on his back but him [SPEAKER_00]: I've not, I've not like really focused on paintings, skin before other than the sort of output they call now slap-trop, like you know zenith and little zenithl, sorry, and a bit of contrast paint over it, but let's time around the went for more traditional paints and add a try and [SPEAKER_00]: do a bit of highlighting stuff like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not quite sure as to how well it's come up.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm happy enough with it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But again, like I've said before, we're maybe in pretty color blinded.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know that it's probably like there's probably a lot of highlights and subtle nuances in colors that I simply can't see.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm never sure like sometimes I'm like that looks fine to me but I do understand that somebody else might look at it and see lots of stuff that I can't see maybe lots of issues or maybe it's a masterpiece you know maybe it's golden demon esk and they're just looks really basic to me but I think it's probably the former to be quite honest [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, on the desk at the moment, I'm just finishing up.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's a unit, I guess, the four of them, but it's the unit of them mounted chaos nights at fifty mil.

[SPEAKER_00]: They'll join in with my fifty mil chaos army.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've also got a...

[SPEAKER_00]: Beesman, Raiden, Bores and I've got you, you have a scope on them.

[SPEAKER_00]: Unicorns, Minotors, completely different mythical creature that had four Minotors, and I've got these shield maids as well, so they're really cool actually.

[SPEAKER_00]: I should remember where I got them but I'm determined not to do much editing to this because time is short but I am I've talked about them on the podcast before but it's like she made and kind of north she made and managers at fifty mil I've got a little unit of them so I've been working on their assords and they're [SPEAKER_00]: Shields at the moment, so they're coming along nicely.

[SPEAKER_00]: Once I get them done, the only thing left for this Chaos Army is a unit of basement, and then that's it completely done, which is really cool.

[SPEAKER_00]: That just seems to have snuck up on me, but it just shows you with, you know, half an hour, forty-five minutes, every other day you could chip away, it's stuff and get through it.

[SPEAKER_00]: And my Chaos space radar guys from nightmare managers have had them primed in based for like probably two years now and they are so so detailed that I've just been intimidated and put off by them but [SPEAKER_00]: I just need to get to them sooner rather than later.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm looking at them than I have.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's just so much detail on them that I'm not even sure where I'll start.

[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely don't think this is the sort of thing I'll try and batch paint.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'll use a lot of contrast paints here as much as I've been using more traditional paint recently.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll definitely lean in contrast paints for a lot of these more detailed areas.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, the bigger areas or smoother areas, I'll use, what's the time just normal paints?

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll use them as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: But what I'm finding, and I probably need to just go back to getting some lessons again from Josh at the Crowner Command.

[SPEAKER_00]: What I'm finding now that I've got quite a lot of dropper bottle paints.

[SPEAKER_00]: and I've got my wet palette as well but even a lot of the times I'll just need a tiny little drop of paint and even when I put like what I feel is like a pea sized amount on the palette I use like [SPEAKER_00]: five percent of it and it just feels like such a waste.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like each time I go to paint some I'm almost reluctant because I'm like I just feel like I'm wasting paint and I don't really know I don't really know that there will be a solution or answer or something I'm doing incorrectly or whatever but yeah like I put a little pea shaped doll up on my way at Palette and then maybe I'll I want a mix it with something to get highlight or that so that's another drop from another paint bottle and then [SPEAKER_00]: Again, this is probably my fault, but if you use it, if I go back to it on day two, the paint has just become too watery to use.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that probably is me just being the wet palette to where it is supposed, but which I didn't really think of.

[SPEAKER_00]: had put too much water in it, like a, and I certainly am, you know, when I replaced the parchment paper and that, I kept upside down and made sure there was no water actually lying in it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's, there's, there's someone doing wrong or or incorrectly or that somewhere.

[SPEAKER_00]: So any advice, give me a shout on the discord if you've any advice or tips for me.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because I am enjoying using the, the more traditional paints and [SPEAKER_00]: trying different things, but yeah, I just feel like I'm wasting paint to be quite honest.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that's where I'm at, at the moment, the shield maids, the space, the space raiders I think are cold, is that the crests back in the day, the space raiders are crests.

[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it's going to be finished up this army, this chaos army in fifteen.

[SPEAKER_00]: Which gives me three different armies for hope goblin, the chaos army, the orc and goblin army.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the human army, and it's now making me think for the purposes of symmetry that I need to make that human army twice the size, because then it will be a good face off again, start an allied candy chaos and orc and goblin.

[SPEAKER_00]: for, you know, going back to the battle master's days, I guess.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, we were always, we were always expanding on our projects anyway, so that's really nothing new.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, that's what I've been up to, away from the game and in painting table, I just got my daughter, I got myself to be quite honest with you.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Hobbit, the illustrative version of the Hobbit, so it's like as far as I can see, it's just, it's the Hobbit, like it's Tolkien's Hobbit, it's not being adapted or anything, the only difference is, they've got really nice little illustrations on most pages.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think almost all the pages have something, some form of illustration.

[SPEAKER_00]: which she's not averse to being read at bedtime books without pictures, but she has still for and she likes the old picture and I'm figuring, you know, not that I'm critiquing Tolkien's right and still by any means, but as it has got that [SPEAKER_00]: older, fashioned, more of her both style, so it's very colourful and flavorful, but I am conscious that sometimes, you know, descriptions will go on a wee bit and I quite like the idea that she could just look up at a wee picture now and then and just keep her engaged because it's a huge book.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's first time I've read it to be honest as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've never actually read the Hobbit before.

[SPEAKER_00]: It is obviously a classic, like it's often cited.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like the Bible of this Hobbit.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm looking forward to reading it with Haran.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that'll take us a few bedtimes to get on through, but it's all good.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it was just, was it the kids illustrated Hobbit or something like that, but [SPEAKER_00]: I, beautifully designed book and obviously at a classic iconic story as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: But that's really it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to wait around too long.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks so much to everyone who submitted a clip and August really appreciate those and enjoyed listening back through them.

[SPEAKER_00]: And once again, please give us your own hobby updates throughout the month of September.

[SPEAKER_00]: Even if you want to send in a couple of clips over the course of the month, that's totally fine.

[SPEAKER_00]: and you can do that by going to bedroombattlefields.com forward slash voice mail where you find a little button you can record the clip direct length of the air or you'll find an email address where you could send it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Over to me that way.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks very much for listening to this episode of the table top miniature hobby podcast.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you enjoy the show then please do share it with someone else you think might enjoy it too.

[SPEAKER_00]: and be sure to check out our discord community of like-minded hobbyists which you can find at BedroomBattlefield.com forward slash discord.
