A wargaming Podcast covering that modern day rarity, The Big Game. No 10 figures a side on a 3ft square table here old chap. All scales, all periods, so long as its BIG. You know what they say ”Go Big or Go Home” We, my friends have gone Big ! Each episode will look at a different aspect of the Big Wargame and do a little bit to bring them back into fashion. Is it a coincidence that Warlord games bring an Epic scale box set out just after this podcast went to air ! I don’t think so, so get on board the Big Game Train and let’s ride it down a 30 foot table. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

Its Podcast time again, this episode I've stepped aside from the usual format to get a deep dive into the world of paint brushes.
My guest is Peter Thompson, the head honcho at Pro Arte a company based in my favourite place in the world, Skipton.
We had a lovely chat covering the history of the company before moving on and discussing the finer points (pun intended) of the brush making world. From brush types, to materials, to handles, to brush care, its all there.
Its important for me to step slightly outside the Wargaming World and have guests who can enlighten us on aspects that maybe sit just outside our hobby yet still have a big influence on it, I hope you enjoy it.
The main Pro Arte website detailing the full range of brushes is here,
Pro Arte UK Artist Paint Brush Makers | Watercolour, Acytlic Oil Painting
Recently a company called ABC Brushes has started to attend UK Wargames shows selling some Pro Arte brushes so you should be able to pick some up there.
My next episode will be with the Big Game rule writer, Dave Brown.
Until then, Sithee

That was great, he seemed to grow into the interview and I was interested in how his business developed. My dad was a painter and decorator skilled in the old arts of marbling and graining so brushes are a reminder of him. I like the diverse subjects you are covering Ken. Dave Tuck
