Weekly Waffle #166
This weekend is Adepticon weekend and as I’m attending this year I don’t know if I will be able to provide you with your regular weekly waffle so I’ve planned ahead and have something a bit different for this week. This doesn’t mean that you won’t also get some additional Adepticon updates because I do plan to try and bring you some form of update but it will depend on how much fun I’m having. If the games are rolling and drink is flowing then you will have wait until I return for more content. But in the meantime I’m going to steal a line from Blue Peter and say…
Weekly Waffle #151
I’ve been a bit more organised for this weeks weekly waffle and stolen a bit of time throughout the week to put this week’s update together. So this week’s update will be a proper waffle, and it’s quite a specific waffle. It’s loosely based around what happens to a game when someone else takes over the IP. I’m bringing this up because Warcradle studios now owns the IP for both Wild West Exodus and Dystopian wars, both games I own and really enjoy. They had already made some big changes to WWX but now that they have taken over Dystopian Wars they have announced that they are going to merge…
Weekly Waffle #150
I’d like to start this weeks weekly waffle by apologising for being a day late with waffle and whilst I’m begging for forgiveness I’ll throw in the fact that it’s not going to be a particularly epic event. There’s big story about me being a day late just the fact that I’ve been really busy and didn’t plan in enough time got the update done. On the plus side all the work and travel I’ve been putting in has meant that a project we received a gold award at a European awards ceremony this week. So with only one week of transition to go I’m hoping I will start to…

For this week’s weekly waffle with the Adepticon tickets booked my mojo has started to return although I’ve not actually picked up a paint brush for some time, with the exception of the one I use for my MekPack. I have however been working away on the grot bot project which has sort of taken on a life of its own. It’s no longer a simple case of building some new grot bots but has turned into some other weird grot creation. More of a grot bot mark 2, bigger, faster, stronger sort of thing. This hasn’t been a conscious decision but has been more of slow evolution as I’ve…
Weekly Waffle #145
It’s been a real mixed bag for this week’s weekly waffle, I think I’ve finally manage to shake this cold that I’ve had for the last few weeks and have felt more human than I have in quite a while. Travel for this week has only been for a couple of nights and it was chance to work with guy I haven’t seen for a few years which was quite nice. To be honest it was really easy which was a nice change. On the hobby front I’ve not picked up a paint brush this week but I have spent a lot of time working on the Grot Bots I…
Weekly Waffle #144
It’s been another disappointing hobby week for me again for this weeks weekly waffle but this time I’m blaming it firmly on the Scottish. Yes I know it’s it a bit harsh to blame all my hobby woes on a single nation but it’s all their fault. Ok maybe not all of them but it’s certainly down to a couple of them. Let me explain. I’ve had a cold, well it’s really a near terminal case of man flue, for about six weeks and I just can’t seem to shake it. Now I thought I had just about broken its back when work send me up to an undisclosed location…
Weekly Waffle #143
This week’s weekly waffle update is going to be a little bit sparse on real content and more a ponder on what will be in the future and when I say sparse I mean really sparse. But I do have an excuse for not getting any hobby in this week and that is that I’m still recovering from last weekend. And that isn’t necessarily from the amount of food and alcohol that was consumed as much as it was from seeing Al in a pair of Lederhosen’s. I tried to dissipate the trauma by sharing it on twitter but it didn’t really work and I’m not going to inflict it…
Weekly Waffle #134
Well for this weeks weekly waffle I’ve been transitioning two sites that are quite close to home so I thought I might be able to sneak a game in on Tuesday. Only to have my hopes dashed because Al has been away on his jollies. Enjoying the sun and condemning me to another game less week in the grey and rainy north west of England. Now I’ve played the gilt trip card I’ll get on with this week’s update. Despite being close to home I’ve not had much hobby time so I’ve get a few more of my Orks for you in the form of some mechanical creations. I’ve dragged…
Weekly Waffle #133
For his weeks weekly waffle I’ve been in deepest darkest Wales trying to avoid being eaten by dragons so I’ve not had any time to get any fresh hobby in so I’ve gone with another retrospective edition of the Waffle. I had someone asking this week if I had considered selling any of my Orks as they haven’t seen the light of day in quite some time. But I do still love them so there is no way I am going to part with them but it did give me a good excuse to share a few more of the them with you. Particularly I wanted to share some of…
Weekly Waffle #129
This weeks weekly waffle is back to a more normal update this with a bit of hobby time spent working on the 40th anniversary model of the White Dwarf himself. With it being a single model it’s meant I could take a few bits and pieces way with me and get some work done whilst on the road. I’ve managed to get quite a bit done this way but I’ve still not got it finished. It’s nice and characterful and I have manged to get quite a bit done and will crack on with it again next week. One thing that took me by surprise was the fact that…
