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 #101
So with all the excitement of last week now over its back to normal for this weeks weekly waffle. With Al back off his jollies game night was back on and Pete brought along Kill Team for us to have a look at. We didn’t actually get chance to have a game as until Pete showed us the rules we didn’t know what we would need. But we have arranged for a few games next week. Pete is going to write up a number of what we hope are balanced lists and we will the randomly pick a list to use. We have more than enough models for whatever lists…
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 #99
I’ve been on the road again this week so no game night for me to update you on the weekly waffle. In fact I haven’t had a great deal of hobby time either. But all this travel has given me some material for a bit of a waffle. Like a lot of people I have fallen out of love with Games Workshop over the last several years. There was a time when going to the doubles tournament at Warhammer world was a regular event. Something we didn’t even think about, we just booked the tickets as soon as they were available, stopped in the same hotel and generally had a…
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 #94
Game night for this week’s weekly waffle saw us get a couple more rounds Dystopian Wars in. With hindsight going for a four way game as our introduction to Fleet Actions may not have been the best idea but it is generating some interesting game play. Al’s Britianian fleet has been picking on Dan’s Black Wolf fleet with some devastating ramming action. I lost my first ship to fire from Dan’s Manticore and Pete has continued to harass Al’s dreadnaught that has now taken seven points of damage (out of ten). But we also learned that the Brits have a special rule where they can repair damage at the end…
Weekly Waffle #93
Game night for this weeks weekly waffle saw us continuing with our four way Dystopian Wars battle and I’m happy to report that the mighty Russians are still in the battle. Although one of Gun Ships has taken a points worth of damage. Everyone else has lost a least a couple of ships but to be honest they only reason I haven’t lost more is that I can’t get into range. The battle moved away from me right at the start and I have been playing catch up ever since. That is good in one way because I have received the least attention and as such the least damage. On…
