Description
Did you grow up collecting and painting Citadel miniatures, and playing games like Warhammer, Warhammer 40k, HeroQuest, Battlemasters, and Space Hulk? Did you gradually grow out of the hobby only to find yourself plunging back in many years later, discovering great new games like Frostgrave, Rogue Planet, and Kings of War?
The Bedroom Battlefields Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast brings you conversations about collecting, gaming, painting, terrain, and much more - often with a nostalgic twist.
We also dive into topics such as productivity, balancing hobby time with other aspects of life, and the overall psychology behind playing with toy soldiers.

Mark joins me for a hobby catchup. He recently picked up Midguard Heroic Battles and offers some early thoughts on how it might compare to similar 'rank and flank' games such as Warhammer, Dragon Rampant, and Kings of War. Be sure to join our Discord community, which was mentioned a few times for various reasons. And here is the latest Question of the Month, too!
Ben AKA Kharnation from the Discord joins me for a chat about his hobby origins, coming out of "the deep freeze" to eventually play in 40k tournaments, and his involvement in Dragon's Lair, a friendly local gaming store in Adelaide, South Australia.
Throughout the month of December we asked for your hobby highlights from the past 12 months. Here are the responses! Our question of the month for January is: Tell us about your named characters on the tabletop!Maybe it’s the overconfident warrior who always charges headfirst into danger, or the sneaky rogue who somehow always survives by the skin of their teeth. Perhaps you’ve got a hero with a legendary backstory, or a character whose misfortune has become a running joke.We’d love to hear about your named characters, where you got the miniatures, how you came up with their names, and any funny or memorable moments you’ve had with them!Submit your January clip
Being motivated to paint is great, but riding on motivation alone can be unreliable. On the other hand, if your painting becomes a habit, then you turn up no matter what. So how do you get there? And should painting always be enjoyable because it is a hobby?
Why does naming characters and telling stories appeal to some gamers, but not others? And are we missing out when we see our exquisitely crafted and painstakingly painted miniatures simply as gaming pieces? I enjoy another in-depth conversation with Dan, offering up our own opinions and anecdotes on the subject.Also Mentioned£1 Space Ranger miniaturesStar Squabble beta rulesDigital photo frame for miniature displayQuestion of the MonthChicago Skirmish Mini-ConJosh (Crown of Command) Painting Lessons
Everyone's favourite "yesterday's man" of hobby podcasting joins me to chat about ways to store and transport your little guys. We also pitch three non-violent miniature game ideas at each other, all of which will likely be picked up by major publishers for some eye-watering sums of money.
Some seek mastery and recognition; others seek zen and the opportunity to unwind. Your relationship with miniature painting is the subject of our November Question of the Month. Also Mentioned: Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast YouTube ChannelDecember Question of the Month
Star Squabble gets another wee run out on the table and some rules tweaks.
Several listeners enthusiastically took up the opportunity to tell us about their local hobby store or wargaming club. And here is next month's QotM.
We explore what makes the gaming experience enjoyable for everyone, talking about everything from the art of respecting the miniatures to handling wins and losses gracefully, and even the subtle vibe checks that keep the game fun. Plus, we muse on the rising popularity of quickplay miniature games: Is this a temporary trend, or something that's hear to stay?

Dungeons & Dragons at Work is a blog by this week's guest, Tom."I’ve been playing roleplaying games since the 80’s and love the freeform storytelling that results. There is real joy to be found sitting round a table with your friends rolling dice and creating adventure. Over time I’ve observed that the skills I practice, running and playing these games port well into the real world."
Mark and I sat down to chat (that's not even true—I was standing up) about wet palettes, manticores, and Wetherspoons toilets. Also mentioned: GoFundMe Page Supporting Paul Sawyer & Family

The question of the month for July 2024 was about your favourite hobby content channels. The response was initially slow, but we got a lot of feedback and recommendations in the end.
