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 #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…

    I’m going to start this week’s weekly waffle off with a gaming update. Managed to make if for games night this week and we have also started to play some games of Kill Team. We should have started these some time ago but for various reasons the date kept slipping but Pete has put his foot down and we are now rolling. The plan was for Pete to play Mark but as things turned out Pete couldn’t make so I gave my Gene Stealer cult their first outing, and every one of them died. Yep that’s right it was as a completed white wash against Marks Thousand Sons. It didn’t…

  • Weekly Waffle #196

    Well the mojo has continued to flow this week’s weekly waffle I have a bit more of a productive update for you rather than just dabbling about and trying something new. It’s one of those things were once you get into the flow of something hobby becomes enjoyable once more and not just a chore. But more on that later as I’m going to start with a D&D update. So we had another good session on Saturday and even had a couple of new characters joining the band. Although we have also lost one for a few months with Tom heading back off to sea, and no that’s not a…

  • Weekly Waffle #195

    I’m going to start this week’s weekly waffle with an apology for not turning up last week. No real excuse I’d just had a really unproductive week and had nothing to put in an update. That and the fact that we all went out for a meal on Friday evening which was a late finish so I decided to take a week off. Afterall it’s only the second update I’ve missed in the last 197 weeks so feel I’ve earned a little bit of slack. And I’m hoping having got a few things done this week you may forgive me. I’ve manged to stir up a bit of mojo this…

  • Weekly Waffle #194

    It’s been another mixed up week this week’s weekly waffle, I’ve had bit of cold so haven’t been in the most enthusiastic of moods. Al’s also been poorly this week so there was no game night which has meant that I haven’t done a great deal, again. However it’s not all doom and gloom. We got another D&D session in on Saturday which saw us back in the ice cave trying to get our hands on some gold. We made very slow work with this one and ended up getting some wild fire potion from the Tinkers which we used in very small amounts to melt sections of the ice…

  • Weekly Waffle #193

    I was hoping to have a bit of bumper update for you this week’s weekly waffle but the truth is I’ve been really lazy all week and not done a lot of painting. Done a lot of lounging around and reading but not a lot of painting. I’ve also done quite a bit of drawing working out ways to produce city maps for D&D that have multiple options in the way they are built such as rivers and roads, castles and city walls. But first of all I’ll cover what I have done on the painting front. I’ve been working on another stand-alone fantasy model, this time a Dwarf. It’s…

  • Genestealer Cults

    Weekly Waffle #190

    Not a big update for you on this weeks weekly waffle as I’ve been really lazy and done next to nothing all week. I’ve sat on the settee reading and generally just chilling out. I didn’t even move for game night but I did get a bit of hobby done. On the D&D front I managed to survive and I must have been quite drunk the week before as I didn’t remember that I had been stabilised so after spending time with bag full of soil over my head, it’s a long story. They managed to heal me before we got stuck into another big fight were the guy who’s…

  • Weekly Waffle #188

    No game night this week as Al wasn’t available so that was an extra night of hobby time. That hobby time for this weeks weekly waffle has mainly been spend working on my Kill Team seeing as I only have one more week to try get them finished if I’m going to meet our agreed time line. I’ve also spent some time working on the updates to Al’s truck. So I’ve been working on some models for a Genestealer cult which is what was picked for me when we had a blind draw for which war band we would be using. I said a few weeks ago when we had…
