Another new (to me, anyway) podcast has been showering AT-43 with love. Meeples and Miniatures is a British podcast focusing on miniatures and board wargames, and has just released its ninth episode - a "zombie special", looking at two tabletop systems, a selection of available flesh-eating figures and a new board game.However, back in March, for its fifth episode Meeples and Miniatures reviewed and compared the prepainted figures and starter sets for both AT-43 and Battlefield Evolution.
While the wonderful French sculpting on AT-43 won pretty much universal praise (there was some concern about the cost of the Initiation Box Set, the fact that you only got a stripped down version of the rules, and the age of the target audience), Battlefield Evolution took a pounding for the quality of its figures. Host Neil Shuck dismissed the tanks he had seen for Mongoose's game as "over-priced toys".
I've only heard these two episodes of Meeples and Miniatures so far, but the 20 minute to half hour duration makes it an easy pick-up show and while not as in depth as, say, All About Miniatures (a monthly American podcast that can run to almost two hours), it's always interesting to hear a different perspective on your hobby from a knowledgeable source.
