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…
Weekly Waffle #87
Well were to start with this weeks weekly waffle. Didn’t make it to games night this week because of some car trouble. Came out to the car on Saturday and someone had vandalised the bonnet with spray paint but because I had other things on over the weekend I couldn’t do anything about it until Tuesday. Spent most of the day using T-Cut to try and polish it out which I have to say worked really well. Then when it came to set off for Al’s the battery on the car was dead, so I just gave up. The spray paint incident has given me a bit of something to…

Well, game night for this weeks weekly waffle actually turned into drink tea and talk about painting night although I have lined up a game of Wild West Exodus with Al for next week. Which will probably end in a humiliating defeat but it’s a chance to give my confederates a run out. One of the highlights of the week for me was trip down to Warhammer World with Al on Wednesday. We used to make the trip a couple of times a year when we were playing 40K but we reckon it’s been three or four years since we were last there. Al lots changed in that time. You…

So having missed games night last week Al was poorly this week so no game again for the weekly waffle. I have spent some more time reading through the RECON rules and watching a few games on YouTube so I think I’m beginning to get to grips with it. But none of this has in anyway made me want to even think about painting the minis. Although I have seen some new civilians from Spector that look like they would work really well for RECON but I digress. On the hobby front this has been something of a Frostgrave week. I picked a load of miniatures when I was at…
Weekly Waffle #84
Game night for this weeks weekly waffle was going to be more RECON. We’ve decided to give it a few more goes to see if we can get to grips with it. To help Al out I’ve spent a week looking through the rules and going back over our previous games to see what makes sense and what doesn’t. Unfortunately I’ve had something of a rubbish week this week and haven’t been sleeping well, so when I get home from work late and sat down with a brew to chill out before heading to Al’s disaster struck. I simply fell asleep and didn’t wake up until the early hours having…

So for this week’s weekly waffle I’m going to venture into the divisive topic that is Age of Sigmar. Now just to start things off I have never played fantasy so when Games Workshop effectively finished off that world and changed things about it had no impact on me. In fact I found it quite interesting to just sit back and listen to some of the passionate debates that were taking place. The after one game night I noticed that Al had some Age of Sigmar models on his work desk, a bit of quizzing ensued and he just liked the models so picked some up to paint. And I…

I’ll start off this weeks weekly waffle with a bit of site admin now that I have figured out why the Ligtbox function isn’t working. I did an update mid with week some details but you should find things are working here. No game night this week so a little bit more time to try and get some work done on the civilians for MERCS ready to carry on our game next week. Try as I might though I’ve just not been able to summon up any enthusiasm for them at all. Frist up is the fact that they are made of this resin plastic highbred that is just horrible…
Weekly Waffle #81
Game night for this week’s weekly waffle say me trying to rekindle some of my passion for MERCS after the kick in the teeth delivered by the minis in the Kickstarter. Al has spent the week reading up on the rules, or at least that’s what he told us, I supplied some minis (not from the Kickstarter) and we set ourselves up for a bit of corporate espionage. I’d like to say that my passion has been rekindled but that’s just not the case. Don’t get me wrong, as a standalone game Recon is fun and I will certainly play it again, well I have too because we didn’t’ actually…

So game night again for this weeks weekly waffle but we didn’t actually get a game in. As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago the miniatures for MERCS 2.0 had finally arrived and this was my first chance to get a look at them. Now I have to say that I had been managing my expectations after seeing the civilian models in the Recon box. The Kickstarter was essentially two games with Recon being more of a board game and 2.0 being the next evolution of the existing game. After looking at the miniatures it appears that they have looked at the lowest quality they could get away with…

No game night for this week’s weekly waffle#Site Title #Post Title #Site Title #Post Title and with no overnight trips for work I’ve actually managed to crack on with a few different hobby projects this week. The plan of having a few different things on the go at the same time seems to have paid off this week. To start with I’ve been working on some terrain pieces for Guild Ball. Al picked these up from Solid Ground Studios and I volunteered to paint them up a few weeks ago. I cleaned them up and primed them straight away and then they sat there waiting for something to happen, mainly because I…
