Weekly Waffle #401 – Whistle Warriors
Weekly Waffle #401 – Whistle Warriors 15th November 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have returned to the world of Blood Bowl. But this time I’ve gone for people on the pitch that everyone loves to hate. That’s right, if you’re a rugby player you will call them sir. If your football player you will call them something I’m not willing to repeat here on a Saturday morning. Which can only mean it’s time to bring out the referee. I had really enjoyed painting the halflings and I brought that sense of fun into this project. From a colour perspective I just went with the box art as my…
Weekly Waffle #400 – The Cucumber Soakers
Weekly Waffle #400 – The Cucumber Soakers 8th November 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve finalised this round of sporting excellence by bringing all of the Halflings together as a team for you. It’s been a fun few week’s painting these guys up and brining you some details about the different positions within the team. But now it’s time to bring them all together for a final review. There are some more spaces in the roster that I want to fill over the coming week’s or months but it’s go spot to wrap up this stage of the project. The next bits will take the form of some Treemen…
Weekly Waffle #399 – Half Pint Titans
Weekly Waffle #399 – Half Pint Titans 1st November 2025 This week’s weekly waffle brings the final position in the core of the Halfling team. And you can argue that these are the glory hounds of the team in the form of the catchers. Getting themselves in a position to be the hero and win the day. As I’ve been touching on in the previous updates there have been a few things that I have done differently when painting these guys. One of them was using thinned down contrast paints as filters to change the tone of the colour below them. Or at least my limited knowledge is a filter.…
Weekly Waffle #398 – Up for fight
Weekly Waffle #398 – Up for fight 25th October 2025 This week’s weekly waffle sees the Blood Bowl project continue but this time I’m bringing you the Hefty’s. For anyone who has any interest in rugby I’m imagining my Hefty’s essentially being flankers. Only interested in the fight and not really that bothered about anything else taking place on the pitch. I touched on some of this last week but I used all sorts of different paints and techniques on these guys. One thing that I think has worked really well and is really basic was in the basing. I normally paint the bases up separately and then add the…
Weekly Waffle #397 – Blood Bowl’s Unsung Heroes
Weekly Waffle #397 – Blood Bowl’s Unsung Heroes 18th October 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I am absolutely going to blame Pete for the change in direction. He was the one who put the seed of a new project in my head. And having no will power to resist I crumbled and through myself whole heartedly into something new. Although I could possibly say that because it’s still on the sporting side of things i’t not a complete change in direction. But even I have to say that is one of the weakest excuses I have ever tried to sell to you guys. I just can’t resist something new…
Weekly Waffle #396 – Masters of the Sky
Weekly Waffle #396 – Masters of the Sky 11th October 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I’m having a mini retrospective, along with a little bit of a ponder. The retrospective is going to take the form a review of the Falconers team as a whole. Their play style and how they fit into the wider Guild Ball story and I’m also going to touch a little on shiny syndrome and how it can mess with your well laid painting plans. On the shiny, shiny front I have been distracted from my renewed Guild Ball progress with two new but very different shiny things. The first has been be on…
Weekly Waffle #395 – The Morticians’ Master of Strings
Weekly Waffle #395 – The Morticians’ Master of Strings 4th October 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have continued with the Guild Ball theme, because I’m really enjoying painting them at the moment. But I have been looking to the future with a miniature from the past. That all sounds very fluffy but what I have done is taken some inspiration from both Studio Jolly Roger and Scar Hand Painting to come up with new look for a Morticians team. I have an old metal mini for Obulus and wanted to take inspiration from these teams to paint something different. The real aim was to give you something that…
Weekly Waffle #394 – Winged Terror of the Pitch
Weekly Waffle #394 – Winged Terror of the Pitch 27th September 2025 This week’s weekly waffle sees me back to the normal Saturday schedule and I’m picking up where I left off. With more Guild Ball. The mojo is high at the moment and that is making it really fun to both paint and to come up with these background pieces as well. I’ve been working on Frelsi with the idea being to use the same colours as I’ve used for the team. Or more accurately make it look like the team colours are based on Frelsi. It’s not the best rendition of feathers you will ever see but I’m…
Weekly Waffle #393 – The Falconer Who Sees Too Much
Weekly Waffle #393 – The Falconer Who Sees Too Much 6th September 2025 I’ve been continuing my Guild Ball odyssey for this week’s weekly waffle. Although in terms of the colour palette things have changed a little this week. Gone is the turquoise and in is more a linen buff colour. I’m not sure why things have changed. Or what I really mean by that is I’m not sure why the art work I have been using as a guide changed things up for Minerva. I did think about going with turquoise, because I like it and I feel I have a good grasp on painting it. At least in…
