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.…
Weekly Waffle #89
Didn’t get much gaming done on game night for this weeks weekly waffle. Al was full of cold so we just spent some time drinking tea and building up some Mantic terrain and getting confused. It’s a good one for a waffle though. Most to the terrain goes together really easily and is very intuitive but there are some pieces that just don’t seem to make sense. A classic example is that there is a really nice engine / generator piece but one side looks like it isn’t finished or that something else should fit up to it. The only problem is that we have been through every other piece…
Weekly Waffle #88
No game night for this weeks weekly waffle which was something of blessing to be honest. Tuesday was my first day back at work after a couple weeks off and it was manic. Phone never stopped ringing and I was like a zombie by the time I finished. Two mostly relaxing weeks wiped away in a few hours. It’s not like I the world was ending or anything like that. Anyway back into the groove so onto the important stuff. This week has been an Age of Sigmar week and that is something I never thought I would be saying. I’ve never played Fantasy so didn’t really have an opinion…
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…
Weekly Waffle #66
For game night for this weeks weekly waffle me and Al had arranged to get some Guild Ball in so that we could get up to speed with the rules before Vengeance on the 14th of May. When I turned up Al was just finishing up a game of ‘40K Kill Team’ using the Space Marines and things weren’t going his way. I have to say that this isn’t a game that really interests me but I think it’s a good move from Games Workshop to do this sort of thing and the miniatures that come with the game are very nice. If I was still playing 40K then I…
