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 #187
I’m going to start things off for this weeks weekly waffle#Post Title | #Site Title with a bit of look ahead for a project I’m trying to piece together. As I’ve mentioned on umpteen occasions for me a bit part of the hobby is the fluff that goes along with all the different games I play and none of them have richer pot to pick from than 40K. One of my favourite authors is Dan Abnett. The thing that makes him stand out are the details he puts in about normal, if you can call it that, life in the imperium. You see a lot of this in the Ghosts…
Weekly Waffle #186
An interesting if not massively productive week this week so the weekly waffle is correspondingly short. No game night so that freed up Tuesday night and I foolishly went to the Gym, which meant I did three days on the bounce this week and I really felt that by Thursday. So, Thursday night was D&D night and after the precarious position we left things in last week I really thought I would need a new character this week, so much so that I rolled one up just in case. As it turned out my character survived but Tom’s wasn’t so fortunate. If you remember from last week I had locked…

I’m going to do things out of order for this weeks weekly waffle and start off with games night. We’ve decided that we are all going to do a different Kill Team and then run a bit of campaign. But to add as much variety as we can we are all going to do a different team. I have a few ideas for what I would like to do but someone came up with the idea of it being a random selection. So we put all of the all of the different team into one pot and our names into another. Then it was just a case of picking a…

I’ve got something of a mixed bag for you this week’s weekly waffle with a bit of a gaming update and few different hobby related updates. Although I don’t think I have as many pictures for you this week. And I’ve decided to do them in chronological order just because I haven’t done that for a while. So first up we have a hobby update but not just any hobby update this hobby update was a group event. As a club we have just got a whole bunch of 40K terrain that will work really well with the recently released Necromunda and the soon to be released 40K Kill Team,…

I’ve had a change of pace for this week’s weekly waffle. No gaming at all for you but from my point of view that’s not all bad as one of my other passions has filled the void with the start of the Tour de France this week. Not to everyone’s taste but I’m quite happy to have the live coverage on all day whilst I’m getting in a bit of hobby time. Which is exactly what I have been doing this week. I’ve put the grot bomb-er to one side for a while as I’ve started to go a bit kit bash crazy and I’m now concentrating on getting some…
Weekly Waffle #181
Well I’m going to start this week’s weekly waffle with an update from game night, because I actually played a game. I know it’s rare but there you go. Myself and Corey started a game of Necromunda with Pete looking after the rules for us. First time for all of us and I have to say that it’s brutal. Every time I got hit I was knocked down and pinned which is something of a pain. But a lot of my girls have stilettoes that are brutal in close combat with a basic ganger taking out Corey’s leader in one go. We didn’t manage to get the game finished, not…
Weekly Waffle #180
No game night to report on for this week’s weekly waffle. Al had to work, or at least that’s what he tells us, although we have another D&D session tonight. From the sound of what happened to the party last week, with all the characters getting very drunk and setting fire to the inn, it could be a very interesting night. I’ve also had to spend a few nights away this week for work, enjoying or should that really be enduring a trip to London that has meant I haven’t had much time for hobby. However on the hobby front I’ve got the kitbash bug again and I’ve made a…
Weekly Waffle #179
No gaming for me for this weeks weekly waffle#Post Title | #Site Title #Post Title | #Site Title . Tuesday night is our usual gaming night and it just so happened to coincide with a day of strike action by Northern Rail on a day I needed to travel to Newcastle. Needless to say I never actually made it as far as Newcastle but still spent all day waiting for delayed replacement bus services or delayed replacement timetable trains. None of which were on time and most of which were actually cancelled. All of which meant that by the time I finally got home I just couldn’t be bothered moving. So…

It’s been a more productive week for this weeks weekly waffle although Sunday was an absolute disaster. Having not had a beer for eight weeks I went out on Saturday night and suffered for it on Sunday. I’m just got to accept the fact than I’m old and it takes me a long time to recover. But I’ve managed to make some progress this week and I’ve actually enjoyed my hobby time, which should be the main reason for doing it. I’ve moved a few things round this week and also started work on a new conversion project so all in all I think it’s been a good week. So…
Weekly Waffle #175
It’s been such a nice week this week that I haven’t actually spent too much time indoors so the weekly waffle is going to be short. But I have managed to get some gaming and some hobby time in. Saturday saw a return to D&D and we’ve been on the same road now for a couple of months, because it’s been a long time since were all last together. In what is now becoming something of regular event we put our characters that have night vision on watch when it goes dark so that, in theory we may have some chance of a warning if anything untoward were to happen.…
