Weekly Waffle #93
Game night for this weeks weekly waffle saw us continuing with our four way Dystopian Wars battle and I’m happy to report that the mighty Russians are still in the battle. Although one of Gun Ships has taken a points worth of damage. Everyone else has lost a least a couple of ships but to be honest they only reason I haven’t lost more is that I can’t get into range. The battle moved away from me right at the start and I have been playing catch up ever since. That is good in one way because I have received the least attention and as such the least damage. On…
Weekly Waffle #92
Game night for this weeks weekly waffle saw the start of what we are planning to be a month of Dystopian Wars with us starting a four way game of fleet action. To be honest it got off to a bit of slow start because I hadn’t written a list so the first part of the evening was spent with me writing up a Russian and a Black Wolf list. The reason for the two lists was so that Dan who hasn’t played Dystopian Wars before could have a choice of fleets, with me using whichever one he didn’t want to use. We settled on 850 points for the simple…
Foundry Paints Review
I’ve heard people talking about Foundry paints and in particular the way they package them with a shad, main and highlight colour all together but I’ve never actually come across them in person. Whilst at the Derby World war game show recently I took the chance to have a look at their booth and picked up their ‘dusky skin’ set. I picked these up with something of a dual purpose, the first was to use them whilst painting my Malifaux Troubleshooters crew and I’ve used them as examples in this article. The other was to get a feel for how they put these together so that I can see if…
Weekly News Roundup
I’ve been a bit lax this weeks weekly news roundup so the only thing I for you this week is the introduction of the new Guildball two player starter set. Everything you need to get playing. I’m just glad I already have both of these teams or I’d have been snapping one of these up. http://elementgames.co.uk/wargames-and-miniatures/cult-steampunk-other-miniatures-games/guild-ball/kick-off
Weekly Waffle #91
No game night this week for the weekly waffle with Al having to earn some pennies to keep the bank manager at bay. But we have decided that October is going to be Dystopian Wars month with games planned for the rest of the month so I need to get a look at the new Fleet Action rules before next week to work out what I need. Not that it really matter because my Russians are going to rule the wave, he says with mock bravado. On the hobby front I’ve been working on something of an eclectic mix with a bit of Malifaux, some Relics and some wall building…
Derby World Wargames 2016
Last Saturday (1st October) saw me visiting my first proper wargame show in the UK at Derby World Wargames. Ok I’ve been to Games Day before but I’m not counting that because whilst it’s a big event it’s only one company. Al had arranged to go down to Derby for the Derby World Wargames show at Castle Donington and I tagged along with him. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting but having had a look at the vendor list before setting off there were a couple of things that had already perked my interest. First things first I’d like to say a big thank you to Dan for driving…
Weekly News Roundup
Continuing on from last weeks roundup just a few things that have caught my eye this week. Puppets War Sorcerer. https://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=626 I’ve had a few things from Puppets War in the past, mainly in the line of Ork conversions and I’ve always found them to be very nice. This Sorcerer caught my eye and I thought it could be a really nice model to use in a Frostgrave Warband. I particularly like the way the book he is reading or casting from appears to be floating, a very nice touch. Malifaux Gaming Mat. http://www.deepcutstudio.com/product/malifaux-game-mat-cobblestone/ I like Deep Cut mats and with me painting a new Malifaux crew at the…
Weekly Waffle #90
I didn’t get a game in this week’s weekly waffle but did get to watch Al get beat up in a game of Age of Sigmar. I still have no idea what is going on in the game but he had loads of Sigmar guys against some nearly unkillable lizard things. Needless to say he didn’t manage to kill it but it was fun watching him try. The Tree Lord is finally finished although it doesn’t’ really look any different than last time. It’s basically just been a case of working round the model making sure all the details have been captured, and believe them there are a lot of…

Weekly News Roundup
Weekly Roundup for the 25th September. I thought I’d try something a bit different this week and put some links in to things I’ve found whilst purposing the net this week. A few things that caught my eye that I thought you might like to take a look at. I’m also thinking of trying to make this a semi regular thing so if there is anything you would like to share with the community why not leave it in the comments below. Dystopian Wars drilling rig shown off on Beasts of War. http://www.beastsofwar.com/dystopian-wars/drill-sturginium-rig/ This one caught my eye because me and Al were talking on Tuesday about running some…
