Weekly Waffle #407 – The Year of the Brush: A 2025 Weekly Waffle Retrospective
Weekly Waffle #407 – The Year of the Brush: A 2025 Weekly Waffle Retrospective 10th January 2026 Welcome to 2026 and for this week’s TerminatorTids weekly waffle I am going to start the year off with a wrap up of 2025. It’s been a year of soaring highs, questionable paint choices, and a fair bit of “waffling” about everything from the price of plastic to the best way to paint a bird of prey. If 2024 was about finding the mojo, 2025 was the year I allowed it to trickle out across the pitch, the tabletop, and even the skatepark. Pull up a chair, grab a brew, and let’s dive…
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…
