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 #174
I’m hoping that this week’s weekly waffle will be a more positive update than last week. For a starter this week I have pictures. The problem last week was that I couldn’t find my card reader to get the picture of my camera and my phone had died so I couldn’t use that as a back-up. Any way this week I’ve replaced the card reader, which means the missing one is bound to turn up over the weekend, and my phone has been replaced so I’m back in the game. So with the technicalities sorted what have I been up to this week. First of all I haven’t done any…

No gaming for this weeks weekly waffle and I’ve been back on the road for a few days so haven’t spent much time working on either Wild West Exodus or Necromunda but I have managed to do a few things on the hobby front. First of all the ATV I had ordered turned up so I’ve been putting that together which has been something of a learning curve. Because this is a scale model as opposed to a gaming piece the resin used is very hard so that it can provide the level of detail required for this type of model. The result was that I managed to break a…

It’s been another slow week for this week’s weekly waffle with not a lot of progress on anything really. There’s been no game night and no D&D so all told it’s been something of a let-down. No particular reason for this it’s just been slow. But it’s not been a total write off. I get the Empire of the Blazing Suns Emissary model for Wild West Exodus this week. This also marks something of land mark as now that War Cradle have taken over and they are ostensibly part of Wayland Games I was not expecting this model to turn up for at least another four or five weeks. So…

It’s been something of a slow week this week for the weekly waffle and I’m putting it down to having joined the gym. Not an opening line you would expect to see in a hobby blog but as this is a waffle and it’s my site I can do what I want. Having come back from a week of really rich food at Adepticon I’ve decided that my gamer physic is getting a little bit out of control so I’ve signed up an eight week course at the gym to kick start me into doing a bit more exercise and generally being a bit more healthy. Part of this has…

Well Adepticon feels like a dim and distant memory now and the world has slotted everything back into place as if the trip never actually happened. So that’s the post-holiday blues out of the way and everything is back to normal. Although the mojo is still up and I’m working on getting some hobby time in every day, even if it’s only ten minutes. I read somewhere that one of the blockers for getting things done is actually starting them so by planning to do something, no matter how small, each day gets you in the mind set to get things done. No idea if it will continue but it’s…

For this week’s weekly waffle I’m hoping that some sort of normal service will be restored. As promised last week I managed to drag my thoughts together and get the review / update of Adepticon published this week so I hope that gave you taste of what it was like. And if there any of you out there planning your own trip I would highly recommend it, I’m hoping to be back again in 2020 so I may see you there. So what have I got for you this week? With this being a waffle I’ll start with a bit filler and that has been that I have finally gotten…
Weekly Waffle #166
This weekend is Adepticon weekend and as I’m attending this year I don’t know if I will be able to provide you with your regular weekly waffle so I’ve planned ahead and have something a bit different for this week. This doesn’t mean that you won’t also get some additional Adepticon updates because I do plan to try and bring you some form of update but it will depend on how much fun I’m having. If the games are rolling and drink is flowing then you will have wait until I return for more content. But in the meantime I’m going to steal a line from Blue Peter and say…

No game night for this weeks weekly waffle which is happen as well as I’ve needed the time to sort out all the final bits and pieces ahead of next week’s little jaunt across the pond. Well to be precise it actually starts tomorrow but that was just so that we could save some money on the train fair. I think I’ve touched on this already but it was going to cost us nearly three hundred pounds for a train ticket to take us three hundred and fifty miles on a Monday morning. The same journey on the way home a week later but on a Tuesday afternoon is costing…

Game night for this week’s weekly waffle was more of a prep night with just me and Al and the game was to try and figure out how to fit Al Sigmar models into a case ready for the trip to America which is frighteningly close now. In fact it’s just over a week. So as I said no gaming but we did get all his models sorted but I now need to sort mine out now, although I’ve not booked any games whilst I’m there so I’m only looking to take things for pickup games so I think it will just be a case of seeing what mood I’m…
