Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast

May's question of the month was a call to tell us about the games and rulesets you always find yourself coming back to, time and time again. And as for next month's question - here it is .

I'm joined by Lewis of the Oldhammer Fiction Podcast . On this episode, we chat about the show's origins and its role in the hobby. We also get into the topic of Oldhammer more broadly, as well as the brilliant annual Bring Out Your Lead event.

Question of the Month regular Dave joins me for a chat about hobbying with his sons, his legendary Necromunda campaign, and the pain of sitting on a D4.

A recent episode with Mantic's Ronnie Renton got into licensing IPs for tabletop miniature games . That prompted our question of the month for April, which was: What classic, popular, or obscure IPs would you most like to see adapted into a miniatures game? So, here are our answers. And if you want to get involved in this month's QotM, here's the link .

I wanted to find out more about Blood Bowl, so who better to speak to than Ben from The Bonehead Podcast ?

Our question of the month in March was, "What's the coolest bit of terrain you've ever made?". On this episode we'll hear the many great answers, as well as reveal the QotM for April. I also talk about a solo/coop ruleset I've been working on, and the knee-jerk decision to buy and play Blood Bowl! April Question of the Month Bedroom Battlefields Patreon

Dan of Paint All The Minis returns for a hobby chat about various things, including what we're playing, how much we're playing, and keeping up with the hobby in general.

I'm joined by Casey, writer of the cult classic Space Weirdos . We talk about the game's origins, its popularity, and a few of his other titles.

What were your last three hobby purchases? That was our question of the month in February, and the response was great. Our question of the month for March is to tell us about a terrain piece you built that you're particularly proud of. Here's where and how to submit !

Michael Lovejoy is co-creator of the cult anthropomorphic animal skirmish game Burrows & Badgers .

Also mentioned was this written interview with Michael on Goonhammer.com .

I'm joined by Curtis of Ramshackle Games , who talks about an eventful couple of weeks at the venerable indie miniature company!

On the latest episode of the podcast, Glenn Ford and Mike Hutchinson discuss their new book,  The Fundamentals of Tabletop Miniatures Game Design: A Designer’s Handbook .

Mike was also on the show...

Our question of the month throughout January 2025 was for you to tell us about your named characters and their (mis)adventures on the tabletop. As always, we got a great mix of answers, and it was a pleasure to hear all of these fun anecdotes. Also Mentioned February Question of the Month Hobgoblin in 15mm Bad Internet Friends Podcast

The tabletop miniature hobby has no shortage of sub-hobbies, most popular of which are collecting, painting, and gaming. Less discussed but no less important is the artwork that forms the backdrop of the worlds we play in. In this episode, we talk about art and its delivery in analogue formats such as coffee table books and magazines.

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...

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 miniatures Star Squabble beta rules Digital photo frame...

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 Channel December 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?
