pproaching a tidy 60,000 subscribers and amassing more than 3.8 million total views, YouTube channel
Broadsword Wargaming has grown impressively since its launch in 2019. Dedicated to the education and encouragement of tabletop gamers, terrain makers and hobbyists alike, its early success hasn’t come from the realms of imagination – unlike its subject matter. “Our content was the kind that boomed during the Covid-19 period,” introduces the channel’s founder and host, Oliver Fabian. “Everyone was stuck at home and picking up niche hobbies – like buying and painting miniatures, the focus of this channel.” Contrasting noticeably to the channel’s initial amateur filming and editing techniques, the videos now uploaded display professional, crisp and humorous content – edited in a fluid and engaging manner. “Prior to YouTube, I was an actor, which included presenting for a few different companies – until I made that leap into doing my own thing. “It’s hard work, but good. Satisfying. At the end of the day, I have turned a hobby into a job.” From intimate close-ups, capturing every detail of the minuscule models, through to shots of Fabian presenting content from his kitted-out home
