The Hobbit, Kingdom Death & Infinity – ON THE TABLE s5 ep3
December 13, 2012 by warzan
Hi guys and welcome to another episode of On The Table! This week we have gone a little Middle-Earth mad since The Hobbit is released in cinemas today! If you think you've got the Tolkien know how then try your hand at our quiz which will be appearing throughout the episode.
As well as The Hobbit we take a look at some more wargaming news from the world of Privateer Press, another exclusive miniature from the folks at Infinity and a whole host of Kickstarters we think are worth pledging too. Kingdom Death might give you goosebumps!

Carnevale
Kensei certainly grabs my interest. I downloaded the rules earlier, I’ve to sit down and read through.
Nice to see Carnevale getting another shout, great game need to get more players.
Can I post here to win prizes? I like prizes.
Post over on the Youtube comment section if you want to be entered into the prize draw 🙂

@brennon How often do you find yourself curled in a ball under a game table during the normal course of a work week?
Everyday…but I usually keep it a secret. 😉

That Raicho was certainly worth the wait, looks ruddy awesome! 😀
Warren, i wish you didn’t mention the Wet Nurse… Adam from KIngdom Death already said “that kind” of disturbing creatures won’t be part of the Monster Box game and certainly not in the kickstarter. They don’t want to be closed by kickstarter because some stupid moralistic asshole was whining about it, like what did happen with Tentacle Bento… I wish it were different.. maybe in the future when here release the wargame ( i hope there will be one!) Just a little suggestion, clarify those that are not wargamers that Warmachine and Hordes are the same game. Waiting for you… Read more »
Is it good or bad that I got the Hobbit questions right without having to use the internet?
Guessing that you have not seen the film yet I’d say definitely good.
I’m in my Fifties, I read the book when i was a youngster and still knew all the answers, just shows what an influence Tolkien has had on our lives.
Wet blanket here. Away for the holidays so could not post.
Both answers offered were incorrect. Who “houses” the party after their escape from the Misty Mountains is neither Elrond nor Beorn: it was the eagles. Anyone who would like to tell one of said eagles (let alone the Great Eagle) that their Great Shelf (with board) does not qualify as housing is welcome to try.
prices are always nice ^^
The quiz was nice btw, only waaaaaaaay too easy xD Make it a challenge next time please
see comment above
Only 1 question from me . . well maybe a question.TURN 8!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN??
Great episode. I like the addition of he quiz, but I think it should have been harder. Looking forward to see what else you guys cook up in the new studio!
re: quiz
see above
(ps – not looking or intending to be a richard (ie: same as), but doing my pedantic part to herd cats.
Also- does anyone other than an incompetent old fart like myself (whose first program was translated to 1″ tape) have difficulty finding the latest episodes on youtube?
Lots of great new miniature games. Soooo many minis…. never…. enough…. time…..
Kingdom Death:Monster looks great, but it’s a bit pricey and they misspelled “Kingdom” in the video’s title screen.
Full of win the Carnevale articles give lots of game play options.
I really like those Kensai models. And Carnevale, and Kingdom Death. And Dust for that matter
Me too, there’s just not enough time and money for them all 🙁
Well, for me at any rate!
Another good episode. The Malifaux sounds interesting. Warren ought to learn how to pronounce names better though – he got Raicho and Kensei wrong (he pronounced them as ray-cho and ken-sigh; rye-cho and ken-say are correct). Other than that, good job!
I’m a big supporter of Imbrian Arts work. I find his work is stunning. Compared to other kickstarters like Kingdom Death (he made some of them by the way) that are doing more than fine. Imbrian still needs some support even though it met its goal in the first day of pledging. All the models he does are not 3D renders but sculpted by himself. Thats serious talent. So back this guy up and this game will be awesome!
Not so sure about the new hobbit miniatures, but we’ll see. Like some of the kick starter future stuff for next year.
Happy Xmas all
Support some if you can. It can go a long way to help some of the new up and comers.
The prizes look really good. Especially Kings of Tokyo. Count me in!
I don’t know about everyone else but I have Kickstarter fatigue. And Kingdom Death won’t be coming in my house, I find too many of the figures to be disgustingly disturbing.
I want to see Will Wheaton play some harcore strategy wargames!
I second the vote for Tabletop to do some wargaming…or even roleplaying. Board games are awesome, but not the totality of the tabletop hobby.
Dust Warfare – YES PLEASE!!!
Loving and just getting into Infinity because of this site!
Cheers,
The Infinity Mechs are getting better and better. I realy should start collecting them.
dose anyone have the new hobbet figures yet
