  • Weekly Waffle #298

    This will be three hundredth edition of the waffle so need to big it up a bit. Highlight some of the highs and lows over the years.

  • Weekly Waffle #297

    Weekly Waffle #297 3rd September 2022 I know I said last week that I may not have an update every week but week two of the return does bring a new update. But just to manage expectations I really don’t think I will have an update next week because I’m away next week for a short break. Having said the I’ve not got a great deal done this week but I have got some hobby time in and I’ve been working on some Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii Vanguard. These have been built up just as standard minis unlike the Rangers where I used the bodies from the ash waste nomads. The…

  • Weekly Waffle #295

    Weekly Waffle #295 30th April 2022 This week I’ve mixed things up a bit with Hagal sitting on the desk and taking a bit of back seat, or really taking no part at all in this week’s activities. I’ve still got a cough that I can’t seem to shake at the moment but I’m not actually feeling to bad with it, it’s just really annoying. So to keep things positive I’ve switched things up and started work on the Warchanter Choir that I picked up from Artel Miniatures before my trip to the States. These are to go along with my fledgling Iyhanen force. I’ve touched on this before but…

  • Weekly Waffle #293

    9th April 2022 Well once again I have missed a couple of updates but I’m putting them both down to Adepticon. The first was the Saturday of Adepticon and I had been doing daily updates so I don’t feel to bad about that one. Last weeks was missing because I came back with the conference lurgy and just didn’t have the energy to do an update. I’m still not that well this week but I’m not missing another update so I’m going to fight my way through and give you an update this week. I haven’t really done much in the way of hobby since I’v e been back, because…

  • Day Two

    Non metallic metal (NMM) is a complex technique that can become simple if you know how to approach it. I will teach you about the basics and the more in depth. You will learn how to approach light, how to understand the highlights and how to create an convincing NMM effect. Special equipment needed: Bring your own paints (Black, White, Yellow, Blue, Green) and paint brushes (a size 0-1 will be fine).

  • Iyanden Wraiths

    Weekly Waffle #292

    This will be the last update before Adepticon so needs to have some packing and prep elements.

  • Weekly Waffle #291

    I’ve been sticking with the Iyandan for this week and I’ve made some good progress on the WraithBlades and the Psychers, but I have also taken the time to get some wo l rk in progress pictures along the way. Some of these will help me if I do decide to paint up any more units in the future. If I remember to get enough I may even get around to writing a new painting guide, which is something that I haven’t don for quire some time now. As I have no idea how the different weapons work in game terms i decided to magnetise the arms so that I…

  • Vigilator Squad of the Silent Sisterhood

    Weekly Waffle #285

    It’s been back to the grim dark future for me this week, in more ways than one, and I’ve managed to keep the painting up for a whole two months. Ok I know that’s not such a great deal and the actual volume is very low but I’m considering it a win. I’ve managed to turn out quite a variety of different minis, I’ve been happy with all of them and most importantly I’ve actually enjoyed working on them. Which at the end of the day is what this is all about, or at least it is for me. Now before I show you what I’ve been working on this…
