Weekly Waffle #410: The Gentle Giant Who Isn’t Gentle
Weekly Waffle #410: The Gentle Giant Who Isn’t Gentle For this week’s weekly waffle we are firmly in the space of the morticians for guild ball and my mojo has been suffering. I really like the minis and the game but I’ve been dragging them out for to long now an I’m longing for something new. But at the same time I’m not willing to put them to one side so it’s a problem I’ve created for myself. But I will feel good once I get them all finished and I don’t have that many left to do. So I just need to keep myself motivated and keep plugging away.…
Weekly Waffle #409 – The Quiet Threat
Weekly Waffle #409 – The Quiet Threat 24th January 2026 For this week’s weekly waffle on the hobby front we are firmly wrapped up in the world of ground hog day, and if you haven’t seen that film go and find it. It’s been a ground hog day because I’m still working on getting the Morticians finished before I move onto anything new. So that’s why the hobby update will feel a little ground hog day. But I have been up to quite a few things away from the hobby that have kept me busy. Trying to get all of paperwork sorted out for my holiday. Making sure my visa…

Weekly Waffle #405 – The Grinning Executioner
Weekly Waffle #405 – The Grinning Executioner 13th December 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have continued to work on the Morticians and I have also started to try and organise some of my project ideas into something that I can share with you. At the moment it’s just a collection of notes and pictures but I’m starting to get it into something that could be a nice update. It’s been interesting just how much I’ve been able to do on my phone whilst I’m on the train. My hobby time has been spent working on Bonesaw which is one of my favourite Mortician miniatures. It just has so…
Weekly Waffle #404 – Feathered Fear on the Pitch
Weekly Waffle #404 – Feathered Fear on the Pitch 6th December 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have continued with the dark and brooding Morticians but I have a little something else I want to share before I show you what I’ve been up to. As this is supposed to be a waffle I thought I would share some ideas that have been floating around in my head. Don’t judge me for this but I saw some human Tau auxiliary kit bash’s that I really liked the look of. And it got me thinking that I would like to have a go at doing something like this. Just a…
Weekly Waffle #403 – Cutting to the Core of the Morticians
Weekly Waffle #403 – Cutting to the Core of the Morticians 29th November 2025 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I have stayed on the playing fields with more Guild Ball Mortician action for you. I’ve used the same scheme as last week and I’m beginning to settle into a bit of flow. The challenge I’m finding now is in which bits I decide to pick out in purple. I don’t want to do too much as it’s only really intended to be an accent. But at the same time it needs to make sense to the overall flow of the miniature. For Scalpel here it worked nicely to just use…
Weekly Waffle #402 – Two Players, One Creepy Show
Weekly Waffle #402 – Two Players, One Creepy Show 22nd November 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have once again switch codes and move back to Guild Ball. I was inspired by painting up the older version of Obulus so went ahead and picked up some of the current Morticians miniatures. There are currently two boxes available and I decided to start with ’Strings of the Spirit Weaver’. Just because it had characters in it that I hadn’t previously painted. But don’t worry the new version of Obulus will make a return in a future update. I’ve tweaked the colour scheme a little but it’s still essentially what I…
Weekly Waffle #396 – Masters of the Sky
Weekly Waffle #396 – Masters of the Sky 11th October 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I’m having a mini retrospective, along with a little bit of a ponder. The retrospective is going to take the form a review of the Falconers team as a whole. Their play style and how they fit into the wider Guild Ball story and I’m also going to touch a little on shiny syndrome and how it can mess with your well laid painting plans. On the shiny, shiny front I have been distracted from my renewed Guild Ball progress with two new but very different shiny things. The first has been be on…
Weekly Waffle #395 – The Morticians’ Master of Strings
Weekly Waffle #395 – The Morticians’ Master of Strings 4th October 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have continued with the Guild Ball theme, because I’m really enjoying painting them at the moment. But I have been looking to the future with a miniature from the past. That all sounds very fluffy but what I have done is taken some inspiration from both Studio Jolly Roger and Scar Hand Painting to come up with new look for a Morticians team. I have an old metal mini for Obulus and wanted to take inspiration from these teams to paint something different. The real aim was to give you something that…
