Weekly Waffle
The heart of TerminatorTids. A recurring series of hobby updates, "what's on the desk" showcases, and honest reflections on the week's progress in the wargaming world.
Weekly Waffle #209
No D&D adventure update for you this week’s weekly waffle but we do have a session planned for tonight so I’ll something for you on that front next week. But having painted up the dwarves last week I’ve got the bug for painting more characters at the expense of the kill team not making much progress. So I’m going to start the paltry work I have done on the kill team which amounts to little more than getting some colour onto the carapace section of the bodies. Whilst I have to admit it’s not much in the way of progress I’m clinging to the fact that it is at least…
Weekly Waffle #208
This week has been something of a mixed bag for me in that I’ve not got a lot of work done on the Kill Team, and by not a lot I think I’ve only done one piece of highlighting on one model so really haven’t made a lot of progress. Mainly because I’ve not being feeling the mojo this week. But have been doing a bit of work on a couple of D&D related models along with quite a lot of work on alternative D&D characters which have for you in this weeks weekly waffle. So on the D&D front we had a game on Saturday and we now find…
Weekly Waffle #206
I’ve been struggling to try and think of what to do for this week’s weekly waffle because of the New Year bank holiday my schedule is all messed up and I’ve completely lost track of the days this week. However I have managed to get some solid hobby time in and will have an update on the Delaque a bit later but before that I thought I would do a bit of look ahead. I’m not going to lay out any New Year resolutions because I think that just adds pressure onto what is supposed to be fun hobby. But there are some things I want to have a go…
Weekly Waffle #205
Well I hope you all had a good Christmas, didn’t eat and drink too much, although I don’t actually know what too much is at this time of the year. Although I know going to the gym took a lot more effort than normal. For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve not got any gaming in with game night this week clashing with Christmas day but I have got a bit of hobby time in. With the bomber finished off I’ve had a bit of reset this week and started on a new project. I’ve tried to keep it nice and simple with the aim of being able to get things…
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 #203
I’m going to kick off this weeks weekly waffle with something that’s been missing for the last few weeks and that is a gaming update. You heard it I actually managed to get some gaming in this week. Well it was actually last week but in the world according to the weekly waffle schedule it was this week. I’m confusing myself now so I’ll get on with it. On Sunday we managed to get together for a spot of D&D continuing our adventure and things are getting darker by the day, literally. We managed to complete our contract for the hunter’s hall with everyone intact but one of our party…
Weekly Waffle #202
Not a big update for you in this week’s weekly waffle. As I mentioned last week it was a friends birthday last Saturday and it was a really good night. The hobby result of that was that I wasn’t in the best of conditions on Sunday to get much painting completed. Although it’s fair to say that I wasn’t suffering anywhere near as much as the Birthday girl, I don’t thin she surfaced for a few days. It’s also been a really busy week at work again with lots of traveling, which is set to run right up to Christmas. Having said that I have been able to get some…
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 #200
Bicentenary edition of the weekly waffle today and to be honest with you when I started this I didn’t even think that I would still be turning out content, albeit in limited volume, nearly four years later. The nice thing about it all though is the original reason for starting the blog was to help keep my motivation up. And whilst there have been ups and downs along the way to get to here overall I like to think I’m still in credit. Some things have changed in that time but other have stayed the same. Think the changes have been in the games I’m playing, or not as the…
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…
