Warhammer on a 24ft x 6ft Table - BOYL Gits Massive (So Does GenCon!)

Warhammer on a 24ft x 6ft Table - BOYL Gits Massive (So Does GenCon!)

Author: Bedroom Battlefields August 26, 2026 Duration: 1:01:21

With Bring Out Your Lead falling through this year, a determined crew decided the show would go on regardless. Jason had a huge narrative Warhammer Fantasy campaign ready to hit the table, so rather than wait, the group arranged a room above a pub in Nottingham, dubbed the event BOYL Gits, and got on with it.

And what a table (twenty-four feet by six!!) staging the Siege of Karak Spork in full.

Jason’s mountainside and mine dominated one end, Calum turned up a striking 3D-printed assault fortress knocked out in just twelve hours (with help from Stuart, who drove hours just to lend a paintbrush for the afternoon), and Ben’s painted human settlement, dropped off before he flew out to Peru, filled the space in front.

The whole thing split naturally into three separate scraps: a siege at the gate, an inner-hold fight, and a relief force pushing across open ground, all painted to a standard the lads clearly took real pride in. One block of a hundred or so pikemen got singled out as a highlight in its own right.

Plenty of good chaos followed: undead cavalry running amok, a stolen Skaven steam tank going spectacularly out of control and taking out a chunk of wall along with a wyvern rider, and Nagash putting Orion firmly in his place after a duel running to eight rounds of combat.

These showcase games are becoming a real fixture for the Bedroom Battlefields community. If you fancy getting involved in the next one, come and join us on Discord, that’s where it all gets planned!

Also… GenCon!

The second part of the episode features another event report, this time from GenCon 2026. Rob Dean was there, and he also has a write-up and a load of great pictures over on his blog, The Sharp End of the Brush.

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.
