Lightbox function update
A quick update on the broken ‘Lightbox’ function where you can’t click on an image to see a larger version. I’ve now managed to figure out what is causing the problem, but I haven’t yet worked out an easy way to fix things. For some reason I don’t understand, when I used to add images to a page or post it used to automatically add a bit of code ‘<a href= “” /a>’. This now isn’t appearing when I add images and it’s this bit of code that enables ‘Lightbox’ to work. So in the short term when I add images I can manually add the code to make things…

Weekly Waffle #81
Game night for this week’s weekly waffle say me trying to rekindle some of my passion for MERCS after the kick in the teeth delivered by the minis in the Kickstarter. Al has spent the week reading up on the rules, or at least that’s what he told us, I supplied some minis (not from the Kickstarter) and we set ourselves up for a bit of corporate espionage. I’d like to say that my passion has been rekindled but that’s just not the case. Don’t get me wrong, as a standalone game Recon is fun and I will certainly play it again, well I have too because we didn’t’ actually…

So game night again for this weeks weekly waffle but we didn’t actually get a game in. As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago the miniatures for MERCS 2.0 had finally arrived and this was my first chance to get a look at them. Now I have to say that I had been managing my expectations after seeing the civilian models in the Recon box. The Kickstarter was essentially two games with Recon being more of a board game and 2.0 being the next evolution of the existing game. After looking at the miniatures it appears that they have looked at the lowest quality they could get away with…

No game night for this week’s weekly waffle#Site Title #Post Title #Site Title #Post Title and with no overnight trips for work I’ve actually managed to crack on with a few different hobby projects this week. The plan of having a few different things on the go at the same time seems to have paid off this week. To start with I’ve been working on some terrain pieces for Guild Ball. Al picked these up from Solid Ground Studios and I volunteered to paint them up a few weeks ago. I cleaned them up and primed them straight away and then they sat there waiting for something to happen, mainly because I…
Weekly Waffle #78
So I thought for this weeks weekly waffle I would have a truly British introspective on a subject that is really close to our hearts and how it impacts on our hobby. Yes you guessed it, it’s the weather. Over the last couple of weeks we have had some decidedly un-summer like weather and I think this has had a big impact on my motivation to paint. It’s frankly been a little bit depressing. So I’ve been sitting down to get some painting done, in this case an Italian fleet from sunny Italy whilst it’s cold and rainy outside. And I’ve ended up just sitting there thinking that I just…

It’s been another really busy week for me this week so I’ve had hardly any hobby time at all so we have a short weekly waffle. I was in Newcastle on Tuesday for work so missed out on game night again. Although we did all go for a few beers in the evening so it wasn’t all bad. The Italian fleet is now following a more Mediterranean build schedule with lots of long breaks. So all I’ve been able to do since last week is to paint all the desks across the fleet and make a start on the details. My first attempt at this was to go straight in…

It’s been a bit of a mad week for me this week and I’ve been traveling up and down the country for work so not big weekly waffle. So lots of time spent on the train but not a lot of time on hobby. Having said then I have managed to start a new project and I think I’ve got off to a good start. With all the Guild ball stuff I’ve been doing of late I felt like I needed a bit of change with the new quick play rules now out for Dystopian Wars I decided to try something new. I’ve said this before but it’s worth saying…

It’s been a couple of weeks now but I managed to make it to games night for this week’s weekly waffle, although I did turn up late so I didn’t manage to get a game in. But we did have an interesting chat about the future of the 40K. We were saying that whilst it was 40K that got us into gaming not of us have played a game of 40K in a long time. In fact I don’t think any of us actually own a rule book or an up to date codex. Now just to be clear this wasn’t a Games Workshop bashing session we were just saying…
