Weekly Waffle #106
It’s been another manic week with work so once again I haven’t had a great deal of time to get any hobby in for the weekly waffle. Having said that I’ve been making steady, if somewhat, slow progress with the Deathwatch. This week I’ve managed to get all the bases painted up and the models mounted so if needed they could be used in a game now. But there are still quite a few details that still need completing. I’ve said it before about these guys but there are so many details, which I’m not complaining about, it seems like you’ve got everything covered and then you notice something else…
Weekly Waffle #105
Well were to start for this weeks weekly waffle, as I mentioned last week I know work was going to start to get a bit manic but I didn’t know it would start as soon as it did. I missed game night this week because I’ve been on the road all week. It’s also meant that I’ve not go very much done this week, just a few hours to work on some Death Watch. But I do think those few hours were productive as feel like I’m making progress with them. I’ve already made the bases for them so I just need to keep plugging away to get them finished.…
Weekly Waffle #103
This weeks weekly waffle has been a bit more mixed up than normal, which is saying something after the last few weeks. I think it’s just something that seems to happen at this time of year where I end up spending lots of time doing as little as possible and trying to avoid the chaos that can make any time off a nightmare. My plan was to chill out and to try and get some hobby in, which sort of worked. What I really wanted to do this week was to crack on with my Militarum Tempestus and get them finished off. Didn’t work. I did manage to make some…
Weekly Waffle #102
Well hello and welcome to what I’m considering the Christmas Edition of the weekly waffle, even though Father Christmas won’t be here until tomorrow. Assuming you’ve all been good this year. Will any of you get any gaming or hobby in over Christmas. I was hoping to have a really good update on our multiple games of Kill Team following game night this week but things didn’t work out quite how I had planned. Pete had taken the time to write up four lists and the plan was that we would all pick a list at random to use. He’d told me which death watch models I needed to bring…
Weekly Waffle #100
So todays post marks the centenary of my weekly waffle and to be honest I’m amazed I’ve made it this far. I’ve said before that when I started the site it was really only a way of rekindling the flagging enthusiasm for the hobby I was experiencing at the time. And I have to say it has done the job. Over the last hundred editions it’s slowly turned into the norm with me starting each week thinking about what I’m going to have to do too have some content for the next instalment. Some weeks this is easy and occasionally I even manage to get ahead of myself and get…
Weekly Waffle #98
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…
Weekly Waffle #97
No game night for this week’s weekly waffle so in theory I’ve had some more time to get some painting in. In reality that’s not turned out quite how I thought it would. Whilst I’ve been working on finishing off my Deathwatch I’ve also started watching Falling Skys on Netflix so I haven’t got as much painting done as I planned. But I have finished watching season one and cracking on with season two at the moment. On the hobby front I’ve decided to go with a technical type of base for the Deathwatch and green stuffed up some bases for them. It was a struggle to try and think…
Weekly Waffle #96
For this weeks weekly waffle game night saw the culmination of our four way Dystopian War game. Although after Corries efforts last week it was now down to a three way game with the Brits now being out of the picture. But his efforts had left the remaining Russian ships with quite a lot of damage, and in the Fleet Action rules every point of damage you are carrying removed one successful dice from you success pool. Which proved to be very frustrating this week. The dice gods were playing games with all of us this week with me being last in every initiative roll which meant the other decided…
Weekly Waffle #95
Ok then where to start for this week’s weekly waffle, first of all I’ll apologise for this update being later than normal. As I mentioned last week I’ve been away from home all week on a training course for work so didn’t get chance to get any gaming in. But the Dystopian game did continue and comrade Corrie stepped in to take charge of my fleet. Now I don’t have all the details yet but apparently, he gave Al a bit of pounding and I gained 13 victory points for me. A lot more than I had before he took command, so I may find myself being demoted after this.…
Warhammer World Road Trip
So as I mentioned in last week’s weekly waffle I’ve had a bit of road trip to warhammer world today and thought I would do a quick update with a bit of a photo dump. I’ll save most of the details so I have something for the weekend but in the mean time I would just say that it was a really good trip. A big thanks to Al for driving, even though he’s now got me hooked on doing a Sylvaneth force for Age of Sigmar. Anyway I’ll leave it there for now other than to apologise about the quality of some of the images. But in my defence…
