Four Lads Who Shook the (Old) World: Alessio, Andy, Jervis, & Tuomas Drop By

Four Lads Who Shook the (Old) World: Alessio, Andy, Jervis, & Tuomas Drop By

Author: Bedroom Battlefields August 12, 2026 Duration: 41:06

My plan to celebrate the Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast’s fifth birthday was simple. Create an open recording session and invite a handful of legendary former guests to drop in for a chat. Then, when nobody turns up, just sit there and paint a second edition Space Marine in peace.

But my plans were scuppered when Jervis Johnson actually went and turned up. I was about to tell him I had a monopose Space Marine to finish when Andy Chambers dropped in, too. By the time Tuomas Pirinen arrived, my painting ambitions were in tatters. And when Alessio Cavatore pinged up on the screen, I threw my crusty old pot of Goblin Green against the wall in a fit of rage.

Still, there was nothing else for it but to listen to the guys chat and make sure I kept my foot pressed firmly on the ‘record’ pedal. With the recording now cut into a wax cylinder (and made available as an RSS-distributed digital audio file), I’m delighted to present it to you.

Maybe it’ll help you get some painting done.

In all seriousness, this was a fantastic experience and truly surreal to sit on the digital wall like a large pink fly. I’m unbelievably grateful to Tuomas, Alessio, Jervis, and Andy for giving up some of their valuable time for this humble podcast, and I’ll never tire of listening to any of them. Thanks for everything, chaps.


What Are They Up To?

The apprentice becomes the master. Jervis and Andy now serve Lord Pirinen in his all-conquering Trench Crusade empire at Factory Fortress.

There are big Mantic connections, too – Jervis on DreadBall: All-Stars and Alessio on The Ghost in the Shell: Tabletop Roleplaying Game (at the time of writing, you have about 30 hours left to back this one on BackerKit!)

Jervis has been working on the Perry's Valour & Fortitude 4th Edition, and Godzilla: The Roleplaying Game, too. 

Tuomas is also heavily involved in the final project of the legendary John Blanche – En Garde is a 54mm duelling game.

Remember those afternoons spent hunched over a desk, a tiny brush in hand, trying to get the eyes just right on a Citadel miniature? Maybe your gateway was the grim darkness of Warhammer 40k, the dungeon-crawling of HeroQuest, or the claustrophobic corridors of Space Hulk. For many, life eventually pulled them away from those bedroom battlefields, only to draw them back decades later with a newfound appreciation and a whole new world of games to explore. That’s the shared journey at the heart of Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast. Hosted by Bedroom Battlefields, these conversations feel like catching up with old friends who never stopped thinking about the hobby. You’ll hear genuine discussions that dig into the tactile joy of painting an army, the strategic nuances of games like Frostgrave or Kings of War, and the simple pleasure of collecting miniatures that spark your imagination. It’s a space for those who understand that this pastime is more than a game; it’s a creative outlet, a historical deep-dive, and a social connector. Each episode explores the layers of the hobby, from brush techniques and kitbashing to campaign stories and rule debates, all with the warmth of shared nostalgia and a keen eye on the exciting present and future of tabletop gaming. This podcast is for the returning veteran and the curious newcomer alike, offering a welcoming audio companion for your next painting session or drive to the game store.
