Best In Tabletop YouTube Channel

Best In Tabletop Network has been built around a very simple but powerful ideal

“Being The Best” at tabletop gaming extends far beyond simply winning. Being the best means being a consummate sportsman, rising above even the most tense situations with frustrating opponents.

Being the best means being a passionate part of the hobbying journey, continually striving to improve regardless of skill. Being the best means doing what’s right for your mind and body, ensuring that you’re able to achieve at the table and beyond. Best In Tabletop Network has been created to bring together all of these facets of the games we love, to improve ourselves, and the gaming communities that we love.

Meet The Team

  • Michael Timpe

    Michael Timpe is the creator of Outward Realms and is a huge fan of tabletop miniatures games. A well known Necron player in the 40K community, he has been playing these types of games for over twenty years. He may be incapable of declining a game of Terraforming Mars as it is his favorite board game. He also loves movies and music and enjoys time with his family and friends.

  • Drew Bishop-Tsai

    Drew Bishop-Tsai is well known in the X-Wing and Age of Sigmar community as an excellent player and an even better sportsman. Always upbeat and willing to help, he improves any endeavor he is a part of. His painting and hobby skills are also top notch. When he isn't busy moving around TIE fighters or dinosaur monsters on the table, he can be found spending time with his family.

  • Colin Sherman

    Colin Sherman is the creator and Creative Director of the BITN. From his early years, Colin has always been drawn to strategy games. As he grew older he discovered a love of competitive gaming and performing. These passions led Colin to found Best in Faction and then create projects such as Charity Hammer and the BITN. Colin has won several dozen tournaments for Warhammer 40k and also enjoys MCP and OR. Colin has 3 teenage sons, a wife, and his three dogs.

  • Nicholas Ohlsen-Johnson

    Nicolas Ohlsen-Johnson is a newer player to the competitive 40k scene. He began playing 40k when the mysterious universe drew him in, and then stayed because of the friends he had made. While not settled on one faction he has been playing Necrons for some time but has been known to dabble in Orks and Eldar. Nic loves other board/tabletop games namely Spirit Island, D&D and X-Wing but is always excited to try something new. (Long live the Silent King and may his reign be glorious.)

  • Lukas

    Lukas was born and raised in the Bay Area, but now calls Portland, Oregon home. He began playing Warhammer 40k competitively in the spring of 2020, stubbornly sticking to a horde Ork playstyle that saw increasing success in the PacNW meta even as powerful 9th edition codices were released. Since the release of the new Orks book, Lukas hopes to continue his habits of krumpin' gits, and is eager to explore both creative and brutal tactics for leading his boyz to victory!
