Yarkshire Gamer Podcast - Episode 12 - Talking Terrain with David Marshall

 

This episode sees us return to Gods Own County after a trip round the world in the last episodes.

Todays guest is David Marshall who runs the company TM Terrain. He is an outstanding terrain maker and very kindly gave up his time to chat about how he got interested in the terrain aspect of our hobby as well as talking about his techniques and methods. The usual embedded player isn't working this week so here is a direct link to the episode.

We had a cheeky idea to visit Games Workshop, buy the smallest thing in the store and then when asked what we were into, we would reply with the most obscure army we could think of, surely a game all the family could play.


David is most famous for working with the Perrys to produce the awe inspiring Agincourt Display which is now in the Royal Armouries here in Leeds and we of course chat about how that amazing piece of work came about.


I've failed again to come in under two hours, David had more than one question for me at the end of the show and we ended up talking Big Games for a bit longer, whats wrong with that !


Thanks again for listening, I hope you enjoy.

Regards Ken

  1. Excellent episode and the one I found most interesting so far. not just because of the Agincourt Display (which is of course excellent) but also to hear Dave's musings about his mental approach to creating what has to be the best wargames terrain available.

    As a quick aside, I've added your blog and the podcast to the list of "Blogs I Follow" on my Just Add Water blog Ken.

  3. Another fab podcast and interesting to hear how the World Wars of the Roses Day went.

    Have a good one at Fiasco when it comes around.

    I won't be able to make it (Doctors Orders = Covid) so I beg of you, please take a heap of pictures of the Italian Wars game! I am positively green with envy that I cannot be there- it would have been the perfect opportunity to meet up too.
