Weekly Waffle #52
I’ve hit something of milestone with today’s weekly waffle#Post Title #Site Title #Post Title #Site Title being number 52 which means the site has now been going for a full year. In fact the first pose was made on the 9th of January last year and I must admit I’ve surprised myself that I’ve kept this up. When I originally set up the site I only set the domain up on a three month contract just to see how things went. Needless to say it’s been updated since then and with a bit of luck I’ll be able to keep things going for another year. So what do I have…
Weekly Waffle #51
Well it’s been a really weird week for this week’s weekly waffle, I always find that week between Christmas and New Year to be like that. No gaming this week with everyone having other commitments but I did spend some time with Al helping him to resolve some issues he had at home in his cellar were we game. We basically needed to move some shelving units and it’s the sort of job that’s easier with a bit of help. It also got us thinking that it might be a good idea to reorganise things a bit and to give the place a lick of paint. So we might not…
Weekly Waffle #50
No game again for this week’s weekly waffle with everyone getting ready for Christmas, although I don’t really know why you need to get ready. Anyway it’s been a bit of lazy week for me on all fronts. I’ve not done any painting and have only managed to get a bit more work done on the stompa scratch build. Although I’ve tried lots of different options to get to this point. The good thing from all my trial and error is that I now think I have design for the parts that aren’t yet finished, so another week or so should see the bulk of the work completed for the…
Weekly Waffle #49
No game night for this week’s weekly waffle so it gave me a bit more hobby time but I don’t know if this is a good thing or not. With the ‘Special Brew Challenge’ looming in the background I haven’t picked up a paint brush this week. Instead I’ve gone back to a bit of scratch building and started work on my ‘Grot Stompa’ again. This basically came about following on the Red Steel event where both Ben and Al said that there was no chance of me having it finished for Christmas (2016), so I’m going to prove them wrong. I’ve shown some of the pictures before but as…
Weekly Waffle #48
For this week’s weekly waffle we have been planning and at the weekend a few of us came up with a plan for next year. Nothing special just a way to try and get a few more games in. So we’ve decided that January is going to be Wild West Exodus month, followed by Malifaux in February and then something new for March with Frost Grave. As a bit of inspiration we’ve set up a bit of challenge to have crews painted for everything and to make sure we don’t slack off there is forfeit for anyone who doesn’t have their models ready. But I’ll go into a bit more…

Weekly Waffle #46
No game night for this week’s weekly waffle but as I posted during the week I did spend Tuesday morning sat in front of the computer trying to book tickets for Adepticon next year. And at 02:00 in the morning it turned out to be an exercise in frustration. I did manage to book the tickets in the end but it took a grand total of two hours and I didn’t manage to book all the games and hobby seminars everyone wanted. Now that I’ve had chance to sleep on it I can’t be too disappointed but at the time I was nearly crying. Everything went well until I got…
Weekly Waffle #45
Game night for this week’s weekly waffle was mainly taken up being top notch geeks and planning what we wanted to do at Adepticon next year. With tickets going on sale on Monday at 20:00 Central Time, which works out at 02:00 Tuesday morning in the UK, I wanted to know what everyone wanted me to book. So I now have a list of games and events that everyone wants to attend but still leaves us lots of time for a general look around and maybe even a bit of drinking. Who am I kidding, lots of drinking. Next step is to see if I can actually book everything that…
Weekly Waffle #44
So game night for this week’s weekly waffle on Tuesday but it only consisted of me and Al so we spent the night trying to work out what we need to do in order to book our Adepticon tickets. The long and short of it is that I somehow ended up “volunteering” to do the booking for all of us. Which means being up at two in the morning on the 24th to book them so that’s something to look forward to. On the hobby front I’ve been playing around with some base designs this week. I’ve made a bunch of wooden decking bases that I plan on using for…
Weekly Waffle #43
No game night for this week’s weekly waffle, Al has been off on his jollies to visit friends in Spain so it’s given me a bit of chance to do some painting. I’ve given up on my Showgirls ever turning up so I’ve picked up the Kaeris box to get a fix of Malifaux. It’s been a while since I painted any Malifaux and I’d forgotten what pain they can be to put together. But they are fantastic models so well worth the effort. This crew consists of Kaeris, 3 Fire Gamins, Eternal Flame and Firestarter. I’ve made a start on all of them and have really enjoyed painting them…
