Weekly Waffle #245
With the Christmas break behind me and my first full week back at work I’ve made a conscious effort this week to make sure I had something for an update this week. I always find it a bit funny at the start of a new year and this case the start of new decade but that I didn’t want to do was start out in a way that would burn me out. So instead I decided that I would carry on with the WarCry theme I ended the year on and start work on a Corvus Cabal crew. I had picked these up at the same time as the Cypher…

Now it’s been a while since my last weekly waffle update and as I mentioned before it’s really been down to me trying to find the balance between a new relationship and the hobby. I’ve not got the fully worked out yet but I wanted to start the year with an update as I have started to get the balance which means I do have some finished models to share with you today. I also want to share a few things form last year as well as having a bit of look a the year ahead. Nothing as brash as laying out any resolutions but there are a few things…
Weekly Waffle #243
Now then it’s been a few weeks since my last update but unlike following previous gaps in service I’m not going to apologise for this one. It’s been down to the fact that I’m in new relationship and I’ve been putting my time into that and not the hobby. And that doesn’t read very well at all, but essentially I’m in a really happy place at the moment and the hobby has taken a bit of back seat whilst I got here. But now that we have got over that giddy start and things are settling down I’m starting to fit the hobby back in. It may not get back…
Weekly Waffle #242
A slow but enjoyable week this week. It started, or more accurately last week ended, with our first D&D session for what feels like an age. Things were a bit slow to start with whilst we were getting back in to the groove and having lost two characters last time out there were a couple of new characters to be introduced to the party. Things started quite well for use with a clear objective in front of us and our decision making was made simple because we were up against a hard deadline so had to keep things moving. With our goal in site we encountered something like the scarabs…
Weekly Waffle #241
It seems like I’ve done quite a lot apologising of late and I’m going to start this week with another for not doing any updates for a few weeks. As I mentioned previously I’ve had a real loss of mojo of late and just haven’t got anything done but I don’t think I’d realised just how much other things that were going on outside of the hobby were impacting on me. So here we go with a bit of waffle. We have had a bit of reorganisation at work which I had touched on before and as part of this my job was regraded which essentially meant I had to…
Weekly Waffle #240
I’m going to start this weeks weekly waffle with an apology because this is going to be a woeful update I’m afraid. A combination of extreme loss of mojo coupled with going back to work after two weeks off has turned into the perfect storm of hobby lethargy. I can honestly say that this week I haven’t picked up a paint brush, although I have looked at a few, or rolled a dice in anger. In fact, I haven’t even picked up a dice let alone got angry enough to actually want or need to roll one. So that means that on the grot bot front Pete is certainly in…
Weekly Waffle #239
Well I missed the weekly waffle update last week but in my defence it was a significant birthday for me having survived to the half century mark so I was out with friends and the update just got forgotten about. Not that I have much of an update from the last two weeks but I didn’t’ want to skip another week. Game night last week was another Black Stone Fortress adventure, or more accurately it saw us continuing our adventure. We ended up with a couple of combat encounters but importantly we all managed to make it through and we managed to collect enough clues that we can now attempt…
Weekly Waffle #238
I’ve had a bit of a break this week to try and recharge my batteries ahead of a final push to finish off the Warlord in a few weeks so it’s quite a short weekly waffle. It’s also seen something of gauntlet thrown down whilst I was out with Pete for a few beers over the weekend but I’ll get to that in a little while. First up this week I’ve got a gaming update for you. Yes, I know it’s something of rare thing for me to actually get a game in, unless it’s been a D&D session. But following the taster session we had playing Black Stone Fortress…
Weekly Waffle #237
It’s only going to be a short weekly waffle today as I’ve been mad busy at work this week. As I mentioned last week are advertising lots of jobs at work which has meant that for most of the week I’ve either been helping my team write up their applications or shortlisting other applications. Not a hard job but very time consuming and I have to say at times absolutely soul destroying. It’s become a joy now when I get a good one. Now all of this has really impacted on my hobby time and it’s also meant that I’ve not actually finished my application and the window closes tomorrow…
Weekly Waffle #236
I missed game night this week and I’m gutted as the plan was to start a Black Stone Fortress campaign. Having said that it’s not the end of the world as there still chances to get involved but it would have been nice to be there from the start. So instead of having fun and playing games I was having to write a personal statement and job application as we are having a restructure at work and I need to go through the process of applying for my own job. So I was stressing out trying to get things completed but it’s not all bad as I’ve now got the…
