Weekly Waffle #128
So with me being away for the last two weeks now I’ve not had any time for any hobby at all this week but I still wanted to bring you what I hope is a bit of light hearted reading on this Saturdays weekly waffle. My solution has been to take a few pictures of some of my 40k orks and have a bit of nostalgia trip but to also explain how these creations came into being. As I’ve said before it’s the fluff of 40k that has always attracted me and it’s that fluff that is responsible for the odd ball creations. But before I get to the models…

No gaming for this weeks weekly waffle and no real hobby time. The only thing I’ve had chance to build has been some new desk top storage curtesy of Hobby Zone. I’ve already got a few drawers and a display / storage case so when I was having a bit of reshuffle and clearing out some old paints I decided to pick up a few more pieces. If anyone out there is looking for a modular storage solution I can highly recommend them as the ones I’ve had to date have served me well hence me going out to buy some more. I’ll get a few pictures of them…

Well were to start for this weeks weekly waffle it’s been another manic week with work and my schedule for next week looks even worse. I just keep reminding myself that I only need to keep things together for another nine weeks and then the pressure starts to lift off. Still busy but not manic, or at least that’s what I’m hoping. So for this week I’ve taken a bit of side step into the world of Age of Sigmar and more specifically the Armies of Order. Whilst on my travels with a bit of time to kill between trains I popped up to the Games Workshop store in Preston…

This week’s weekly waffle hasn’t been quite as mad as the last few but I’ve still not managed to get any gaming in. But what I have done is to dig out an old project and make some good progress with it. Inspired by painting up and basing my Russian battle ship I’ve kept things in the world of Dystopian wars and I’ve gone east. I picked up an Ottoman Empire box set a couple of years ago and worked out how I wanted to paint them but never got passed the first test piece. Mainly because I came up with an unbelievably fiddly process but having done one I…

Well it’s been a really bad week this week for hobby this weeks weekly waffle. I’ve had family over from France so I’ve been playing nice and spending time with them, which in fairness has been nice and then away again all week. So the only thing I’ve really managed to get done this week is to green stuff some base inserts. I need these for the fishermen I’ve been working on and for a couple of other things that I’ve done but not got round to basing. But in keep with how manic things have been I’ve not even had time to take any pictures, not that green stuff…

I haven’t been able to get as much done for this week’s weekly waffle as I did last week but I’m still really happy with what I’ve achieved. No gaming due to Al being on his jollies and me working in Walsall. Looks like I get all the exotic locations. Anyway after getting quite a bit done on the fisher men last week I’ve kept the nautical them but switched scales. After showing you the new Pakhtusov Battleship last week I couldn’t resist making a start on it with a new colour scheme. My take on this is that it’s part of the Russian Coalition Northern Fleet which explains why…

This week’s weekly waffle saw a return to my nomadic life style so no chance to get any gaming in but having said that it’s been a reasonably productive hobby week and the post man has delivered a few surprises. It’s always nice when you pre-order something and then forget all about it until it turns up on your door step. So first up this week are the images that I couldn’t get uploaded last week, technical issues now resolve. As I mentioned last week I had ordered the first of the modular ships for my Dystopian Wars Russian Coalition force but hadn’t really paid any attention to the fact…
Weekly Waffle #120
A bit of mixed up weekly waffle this week. I was supposed to be around for game night but then ended up having to travel only for things to go a bit pear shaped which meant that I got to spend the rest of the week at home. Now when you look at the update this week I just want to emphasise that I have not been taken over by a body snatcher and it’s still me. Just me that’s had a bit of hobby time and a bit of new found enthusiasm, which I think has come from trying something different. So first up this week we have a…

I’m going to throw in a bit of shocker this weeks weekly waffle and say that I actually turned up for game night and what’s more I actually got a couple of games in. And just to cap things off I won both, although it was more down to blind luck than any skill on my part. So I’ve not had any travel this week so it was round to Al’s for games night and we had a couple of games of ‘Bang! The Dice Game’. It’s a simple cowboy game, although there are other options and expansions available, which is really easy to pick up and play. The basic…
Weekly Waffle #118
I’ve got a bit of lightweight update for you this week’s weekly waffle. More traveling for work but this week has seen the end to the worst of the work for this year. I’ve still got lots of travel to contend with but all the really messy and fiddly things that have been keeping me awake are now out of the way. So I don’t really have any excuses now to plan in some hobby time whilst I’m away so I’ll see how that goes. Another key things for this week has been disappointment. After picking up White Dwarf last week and then waxing lyrical about the new flying Dwarves…
