Weekly Waffle #255
I’m really not sure just where to start this week as it’s been something that I’ve never experienced or even considered as being possible. It’s a times like this when having a hobby, no mater what it is could be the only thing that keeps you sane. In my case it is certainly helping. I was expecting to be bringing you an update from Adepticon today but instead of having spent the week exploring Chicago and then having some great times with a group of like minded gamers, I’ve found myself at home on my own seeing no one. Here in the UK, like lots of places around the world,…

No game night this week seeing as how Al has the lurgy and him being one of Pappa Nurgl’s special one’s no one wants to go near him. So this has given me an extra night to work on finishing off the Grot Bots before I head off across the pond next week. The main thing that I needed to get completed was to get the heads built and I was pleasantly surprised how smoothly this seemed to go. Like everything else on this project it’s been a fiddly job but as I’ve not really made any changes to the design it was just a case of cracking on with…
Weekly Waffle #253
No game night this week so that has given me an extra few hours to really try and focus on progressing with the Grot Bots, which has become something of an all-consuming thing at the moment. Although I have also spent some time working on updating the back end of the site so in theory it should be a little bit more stable going forward. Nothing major because I don’t really know what I’m doing so just trying to do enough to keep things ticking over. Now that I’m getting down to the crunch end of the build as anything that isn’t finished next week just isn’t going to get…
Weekly Waffle #252
Things have been starting to get real this week with me only having three more updates before I head off across the pond for Adepticon. That’s mainly because I’m having some time in Chicago before making the short trip up to Schaumburg for the event. But when it comes to getting things done ahead of time that jolly effectively robs me of a week of scratch build joy. Although to be fair I would rather be having a week in Chicago than sitting at my desk in a damp grey cotton town in the north west of England. But I do still have a few weeks to wait and I’ve…
Weekly Waffle #251
No gaming for me this week as it was mum’s birthday on Tuesday which is normally game night, and we went out for a family mean instead. Which was a really nice night so not a bad thing to doing in place of a bit of gaming. That was on the back of having a very loved up weekend where I did no gaming and no hobby but did have a really nice time. Considering the bad weather, we had here in the North West of England it was actually really nice to stay indoors, with a nice drink or two and lots of box sets to watch. A good…

Weekly Waffle #204
In this week’s weekly waffle it’s nearly time for the big fat man to come climbing down the chimney and if you are really lucky it may actually be Santa with a sack full of presents. I’m just hoping that with our change of IT supplier at work things will calm down a bit in the New Year and I’ll actually get some gaming in. I’m not exactly sure what form that gaming will take but both Necromunda and Kill Team seem like good contenders. I’m also quite keen to try and get Al on board for a dabble at the new Wild West Exodus. Even if it’s not actually…
Weekly Waffle #201
It’s not been the best of weekly waffle for hobby time this week. We have a change freeze at work over the Christmas period so everyone is clamouring to get things done before that kicks in. For me that has been a lot of travel this week which meant I missed out on games night this week. Having said that I have manged to get some hobby time in. What’s more I’ve really knuckled down and got quite a lot of work done in the time I had. The aim for this week was to try and get the first round of highlights completed on the bomber and I’m happy…
Weekly Waffle #199
No D&D update for you this week’s weekly waffle, there was a game but I couldn’t make it so I don’t know what happened, or even if I’m still alive yet. I’m sure I am as I don’t think Anna would kill me off it I wasn’t actually there. Set me up an unavoidable and excruciating encounter, yes, but not actually kill me off. No trains to worry about this week so I managed to make it for game night for the start of the Kill Team games. I spent some time trying to write up a list for my Gene stealer cult and realised that there aren’t actually enough…
Weekly Waffle #198
No game night for me this week courtesy of Northern Rail who cancelled three trains in a row on Tuesday day night, so I gave up in the end an when and caught the bus. Also no D&D this week’s weekly waffle as we couldn’t get everyone together at the weekend so it’s been no gaming at all for me this week. On the hobby front I’ve taken the feedback from last week about the wings on the Bommba looking a bit to weedy and I’ve made some changes. I’ve added some extra wing mounts and the original idea was going to be to add another pair of short wings…
