Weekly Waffle #432 – Wolf Scout Pack Leader is the One Who Gives the Orders
22nd August 2026 The Mojo For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve been working go the wolf scout pack leader. And I’ve been really enjoying myself. It’s helped that i’ve been off work this week so have had a little bit of extra time to get some hobby in. In between the jobs that have needed doing at home and I’ve been avoiding. But this week has been a good balance. And I’ve even used some of that precious hobby time to set myself up for success in the coming weeks. Getting some more minis prepped so that I can make the most of the hobby time I get over the…
Weekly Waffle #431 – Wolf Scout Trapmaster
8th July 2026 The Mojo For this week’s weekly waffle I have been trying to get myself back into some good habits and I’ve used the Space Wolves Trapmaster to help me. It’s still manic at work and that isn’t going to change any time soon. That means my hobby time is going to be limited and I don’t want to spend what time I do have racing to get some waffle together. I want to spend it painting. So I have been mindful of that and I’ve made myself use the time I have on the train to do the writing. Freeing me up to actually enjoy my hobby…
Weekly Waffle #429 – The Dog That Bites First
1st August 2026 The Mojo I’m trying to use this week’s weekly waffle to get back to a more normal type of service. Although this week has been anything but normal. I’ve spent the first half of the week driving around the UK following a currier as we migrate work date from one data centre to another. Not a very productive week but it gives you lots of time to think about new projects. Although considering how behind I am with my existing projects I’m not sure that is a good idea. But even with all of this travel I have still managed to get some hobby time in so…
Weekly Waffle #428 – Sorry I’ve Been MIA! Cadiz, Work Chaos, and Space Wolf Kitbashing
25th July 2025 The Mojo For this week’s weekly waffle I’m starting with an apology for missing the last two weeks. I’ve managed to go for about 18 months without missing an update but all good things dome to an end. The plan was I was always going to be skipping last week’s update because I was enjoying a short break in Cadiz. Dipping my toes in the Atlantic, eating Tapas and generally relaxing. Bu the plan I was going to inform you all about this break the week before. But that is where things went to pot. I was on my own at work that week, just the way…
Weekly Waffle #427 – The Silent Storm: How to Build Asterix the Dual-Axe Barbarian
4th July 2026 The Mojo For this week’s weekly waffle I have been at a conference for work so my hobby time has been very restricted. But I have done my best to make sure I have something for you. Now I’m not a football fan but it was quite a tense fare being in a pub full of fans watching England torture them with their performance. The one thing bout about being away has been that I have had some time on the train to write the update for you. And it’s turned into something of a bumper edition. Which I’m hoping may give me some credit because the…
Weekly Waffle #426 – The Ottoman Pirate – Cold Steel and Boarding Actions on the Canals
27th June 2026 The Mojo Welcome back to the Weekly Waffle where I attempt to regale you all with fantastic hobby exploits from the week. Which really amounts to me trying to sump up my week and show you what I’ve been working on. And this week feels very much like ground hog week. I really don’t know whew the year has gone and we are nearly half way through. It seems be eat, sleep, work repeat, with a little bit of hobby and socialising. But it could always be worse so I’m not to dwell it too much. And before I get too morbid, because that’s not how I’m…
Weekly Waffle #425 – The Noble Admiral, Command, Conquest, and Cruelty on the Venetian Waves
20th June 2026 The Mojo Well on this weeks’s weekly waffle it’s been a real mixed bag. Busy as usual but I have managed to get in some quality Hobby time. No real disasters which is a good thing but it’s not all been plain sailing. The mojo has been there but the talent, not that there is much to start with, has been a bit lacking. But I’m making progress on the projects I have planned in and I’m coming up with new ideas all the time. I just don’t know where I’m going to find the time to bring them all to fruition. But it’s god to have…
Weekly Waffle #424 – The Quilted Vanguard – Redefining the Dwarven Front Line
13th June 2026 The Mojo I’ve had a good hobby week this week the painting gods mostly shining on me. Work remains carnage but my hobby time remains a welcome break and I’m hoping that this week’s weekly waffle isn’t the publishing train wreck that last weeks was. Everything seemed to go wrong last week so I have been been keeping an extra close eye on things this week . I’ve also booked a holiday for July so that is something to look forward to. But all in all it’s been a good week and I hope you enjoy the weekly waffle as much as I’ve enjoyed the week. On…
Weekly Waffle #423 – The Wayfinder, Guiding the Patricians’ Privateers Through the Murky Canals
6th June 2026 The Mojo It’s been another busy week for this week’s Weekly Waffle. I’ve messed up a bit and didn’t update the post properly but I got their in the end. Switching things up has been a challenge but I’ve enjoyed the change so I hope you enjoy the update. On The Work Bench Welcome back to the workbench, folks. Grab a brew, sit back, and let’s talk about a model that trades the elaborate silks and feathers of the standard Patrician nobility for something far more practical, namely, a very solid map, a telescope, and the uncanny ability to make sure your gang’s shooting phase absolutely tears…
Review: The Artis Opus ‘Duck’ – Have I Finally Found My Golden Goose?
Over the years, I’ve used a whole host of different painting handles, but to be honest, none of them have really worked for me. I usually use them for a while, but very soon they just seem to get in the way rather than helping. I understand the design theory, providing a stable platform, but they just don’t click. Usually, I just end up going back to using corks with minis pinned or blue-tacked in place; it’s cheap and it works. But, being a sucker for something new, I keep looking for that “golden goose” of handles. While ordering some new brushes, I stumbled across a series of three handles…
