Weekly Waffle #201
It’s not been the best of weekly waffle for hobby time this week. We have a change freeze at work over the Christmas period so everyone is clamouring to get things done before that kicks in. For me that has been a lot of travel this week which meant I missed out on games night this week. Having said that I have manged to get some hobby time in. What’s more I’ve really knuckled down and got quite a lot of work done in the time I had. The aim for this week was to try and get the first round of highlights completed on the bomber and I’m happy…
Weekly Waffle #200
Bicentenary edition of the weekly waffle today and to be honest with you when I started this I didn’t even think that I would still be turning out content, albeit in limited volume, nearly four years later. The nice thing about it all though is the original reason for starting the blog was to help keep my motivation up. And whilst there have been ups and downs along the way to get to here overall I like to think I’m still in credit. Some things have changed in that time but other have stayed the same. Think the changes have been in the games I’m playing, or not as the…
Weekly Waffle #199
No D&D update for you this week’s weekly waffle, there was a game but I couldn’t make it so I don’t know what happened, or even if I’m still alive yet. I’m sure I am as I don’t think Anna would kill me off it I wasn’t actually there. Set me up an unavoidable and excruciating encounter, yes, but not actually kill me off. No trains to worry about this week so I managed to make it for game night for the start of the Kill Team games. I spent some time trying to write up a list for my Gene stealer cult and realised that there aren’t actually enough…
Weekly Waffle #198
No game night for me this week courtesy of Northern Rail who cancelled three trains in a row on Tuesday day night, so I gave up in the end an when and caught the bus. Also no D&D this week’s weekly waffle as we couldn’t get everyone together at the weekend so it’s been no gaming at all for me this week. On the hobby front I’ve taken the feedback from last week about the wings on the Bommba looking a bit to weedy and I’ve made some changes. I’ve added some extra wing mounts and the original idea was going to be to add another pair of short wings…
Weekly Waffle #197
I’m going to start this week’s weekly waffle off with a gaming update. Managed to make if for games night this week and we have also started to play some games of Kill Team. We should have started these some time ago but for various reasons the date kept slipping but Pete has put his foot down and we are now rolling. The plan was for Pete to play Mark but as things turned out Pete couldn’t make so I gave my Gene Stealer cult their first outing, and every one of them died. Yep that’s right it was as a completed white wash against Marks Thousand Sons. It didn’t…
Weekly Waffle #196
Well the mojo has continued to flow this week’s weekly waffle I have a bit more of a productive update for you rather than just dabbling about and trying something new. It’s one of those things were once you get into the flow of something hobby becomes enjoyable once more and not just a chore. But more on that later as I’m going to start with a D&D update. So we had another good session on Saturday and even had a couple of new characters joining the band. Although we have also lost one for a few months with Tom heading back off to sea, and no that’s not a…
Weekly Waffle #194
It’s been another mixed up week this week’s weekly waffle, I’ve had bit of cold so haven’t been in the most enthusiastic of moods. Al’s also been poorly this week so there was no game night which has meant that I haven’t done a great deal, again. However it’s not all doom and gloom. We got another D&D session in on Saturday which saw us back in the ice cave trying to get our hands on some gold. We made very slow work with this one and ended up getting some wild fire potion from the Tinkers which we used in very small amounts to melt sections of the ice…
Weekly Waffle #190
Not a big update for you on this weeks weekly waffle as I’ve been really lazy and done next to nothing all week. I’ve sat on the settee reading and generally just chilling out. I didn’t even move for game night but I did get a bit of hobby done. On the D&D front I managed to survive and I must have been quite drunk the week before as I didn’t remember that I had been stabilised so after spending time with bag full of soil over my head, it’s a long story. They managed to heal me before we got stuck into another big fight were the guy who’s…
Weekly Waffle #188
No game night this week as Al wasn’t available so that was an extra night of hobby time. That hobby time for this weeks weekly waffle has mainly been spend working on my Kill Team seeing as I only have one more week to try get them finished if I’m going to meet our agreed time line. I’ve also spent some time working on the updates to Al’s truck. So I’ve been working on some models for a Genestealer cult which is what was picked for me when we had a blind draw for which war band we would be using. I said a few weeks ago when we had…
Weekly Waffle #187
I’m going to start things off for this weeks weekly waffle#Post Title | #Site Title with a bit of look ahead for a project I’m trying to piece together. As I’ve mentioned on umpteen occasions for me a bit part of the hobby is the fluff that goes along with all the different games I play and none of them have richer pot to pick from than 40K. One of my favourite authors is Dan Abnett. The thing that makes him stand out are the details he puts in about normal, if you can call it that, life in the imperium. You see a lot of this in the Ghosts…
