Weekly Waffle #122
I haven’t been able to get as much done for this week’s weekly waffle as I did last week but I’m still really happy with what I’ve achieved. No gaming due to Al being on his jollies and me working in Walsall. Looks like I get all the exotic locations. Anyway after getting quite a bit done on the fisher men last week I’ve kept the nautical them but switched scales. After showing you the new Pakhtusov Battleship last week I couldn’t resist making a start on it with a new colour scheme. My take on this is that it’s part of the Russian Coalition Northern Fleet which explains why…

This week’s weekly waffle saw a return to my nomadic life style so no chance to get any gaming in but having said that it’s been a reasonably productive hobby week and the post man has delivered a few surprises. It’s always nice when you pre-order something and then forget all about it until it turns up on your door step. So first up this week are the images that I couldn’t get uploaded last week, technical issues now resolve. As I mentioned last week I had ordered the first of the modular ships for my Dystopian Wars Russian Coalition force but hadn’t really paid any attention to the fact…

For this week’s weekly waffle there was no game night again so a chance to make a start on a new project, or really an extension of what I’ve already been working. I’ve really enjoyed painting up the Deathwatch Kill Team so I decided to carry on and picked up the Deathwatch Cassius Kill Team. I’ve liked these models since the boxed game came out so being able to pick them up as a set of models without the game is great business idea for GW. And this got me thinking about something GW said earlier this year that didn’t really make sense to me at the time. They said…

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…

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…
Dystopian Wars – Russian Coalition
The Russian Coalition is one of the greatest powers on earth. Its ruler commands the people, wealth and resources of over a sixth of the world’s entire landmass. And yet, still it is not enough for him. Within the game the Russian Coalition are like street brawlers and work best when they get up close and personal. They have relatively short ranged weapons, although they are devastating when you do get them into range. And to help you close on the enemy they have some of the heaviest armour in the game. Here we have the undisputed king of the Russian Fleet, a Moskva Class Dreadnought. In battle the mighty…
