Weekly Waffle #295
Weekly Waffle #295 30th April 2022 This week I’ve mixed things up a bit with Hagal sitting on the desk and taking a bit of back seat, or really taking no part at all in this week’s activities. I’ve still got a cough that I can’t seem to shake at the moment but I’m not actually feeling to bad with it, it’s just really annoying. So to keep things positive I’ve switched things up and started work on the Warchanter Choir that I picked up from Artel Miniatures before my trip to the States. These are to go along with my fledgling Iyhanen force. I’ve touched on this before but…
Weekly Waffle #294
Weekly Waffle #294 23rd April 2022 It was Easter weekend last week and for those of us in the UK that meant a four day weekend. I would like to say that it was spend being really productive and getting in loads of hobby time, but the reality was that both me and the misses were full of a cold again and spent most of the time in the house feeling sorry for ourselves. I was feeling that bad that I even managed to burn a pizza I had mad on Saturday. All in all it was just one of those weeks where nothing seemed to go as you would…
Weekly Waffle #293
9th April 2022 Well once again I have missed a couple of updates but I’m putting them both down to Adepticon. The first was the Saturday of Adepticon and I had been doing daily updates so I don’t feel to bad about that one. Last weeks was missing because I came back with the conference lurgy and just didn’t have the energy to do an update. I’m still not that well this week but I’m not missing another update so I’m going to fight my way through and give you an update this week. I haven’t really done much in the way of hobby since I’v e been back, because…
Fair well Adepticon
Well this is technically the last of the live updates from this years Adepticon whilst I’m in the UA of A. We are now at the airport with checking and security behind us. I’ll do a proper round up in with weeks waffle but all in all it’s been a good a trip. The next bit is the bit I really hate because it’s a long old trip home with nothing exciting when you get their. If you don’t count jet lag and a weeks worth of washing. Anyway they are now boarding the plane so I’ll upload this whilst I still have a good Wi-Fi connection. Last very brief…
