Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast

Chris Birch has had a few different careers, but his role at Modiphius is surely the one his childhood self, cooking up Prince August miniatures on the stove, would get the most excited by. On this episode, he joins me to talk about his hobby journey, from the solo games he invented as a kid to building Modiphius into a company licensing heavyweight IPs like Fallout and XCOM.

The internet has shaped how we experience the tabletop miniature hobby - mainly in a good way, though there are naturally a few potential downsides, too. In this episode, Calum and I talk through the six factors we feel have had the most impact and relate them to our own personal experiences.
We'd love to hear your thoughts, too, so hop over to the Bedroom Battlefields Discord community and let us know.

This episode is sponsored by Mantic Games and Halo: Flashpoint.
I'm joined by Mantic founder Ronnie Renton and communications manager Alex to talk about why Halo: Flashpoint works so well as a low-commitment entry into miniature gaming. Ronnie and Alex cover how a turn plays out, from command dice and alternating activations to opposed rolls and exploding 8s. They also explain how respawning keeps a bad round from sinking your game, and get into the compact 2x2x2 cube battlefield and the creative possibilities of 3D terrain.
The guys also preview the Covenant faction expansion and the Campaign Evolved board game, before laying out details of the Fast Grow painting challenge, which runs from 23rd October to 1st November. The Fast Grow asks you to paint your first fireteam in nine days, and I'll be having a wee shot myself!
Ronnie also gives a quick rundown of what else Mantic has coming, including Epic Warpath, Kings of War, and the Plants vs. Zombies board game on Kickstarter.
Mantic have also pledged a prize to one listener who sends in a hobby update voice clip this month at bedroombattlefields.com/voicemail, so be sure to get your clip in and get involved!
