Weekly Waffle #300
Weekly Waffle #300 1st October 2022 I’ve not had a massive amount of hobby time this week but I have been doing quite a bit of travel and that has given me some time to reflect on what has happened in my hobby life since I started doing the blog. Now before you panic and run a mile I’m not going to be all doom and gloom just a look back over the past seven years, yes seven years in which a lot has changed. So if I was to rate my enthusiasm and ability in the hobby now compared to where it was when I started I would have…

Weekly Waffle #299 24th September 2022 I’m going to kick things off this week with a full on homage to the Waffle. I was watching Saturday Kitchen last week and they had Ricard Osmond on as the guest. He was talking about how he has stopped doing a lot of his presenting work to focus on his writing. One of the things he was saying to the Otho on the show was that if you were to dedicate an hour a day to writing then after a year you would be a writer. You may not be successful but you would be a writer. This approach obviously applies to anything…

Weekly Waffle #297 3rd September 2022 I know I said last week that I may not have an update every week but week two of the return does bring a new update. But just to manage expectations I really don’t think I will have an update next week because I’m away next week for a short break. Having said the I’ve not got a great deal done this week but I have got some hobby time in and I’ve been working on some Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii Vanguard. These have been built up just as standard minis unlike the Rangers where I used the bodies from the ash waste nomads. The…

This will be the last update before Adepticon so needs to have some packing and prep elements.
Weekly Waffle #291
I’ve been sticking with the Iyandan for this week and I’ve made some good progress on the WraithBlades and the Psychers, but I have also taken the time to get some wo l rk in progress pictures along the way. Some of these will help me if I do decide to paint up any more units in the future. If I remember to get enough I may even get around to writing a new painting guide, which is something that I haven’t don for quire some time now. As I have no idea how the different weapons work in game terms i decided to magnetise the arms so that I…

Review of my Iyandan units so far.
Weekly Waffle #289
It’s been some time since my last update, in fact I think it’s the longest break I have had from the site since I started. Over the last couple of months my mojo has just dropped off a cliff face and I haven’t even picked up a brush, let alone put paint on it and got it anywhere need a model. Can’t really say why this is but I think like a lot of people the sheer monotony of the last year has just caught up with me and I just haven’t had the motivation to do anything. It’s a selfish way to be considering a lot of people have…
Weekly Waffle #288
It had to happen and this week seems to be the week. Somewhat cryptic I know but this week has been the first week when I seem to have lost my mojo but I really don’t know why. The weather hasn’t been too bad, work hasn’t been overly demanding and life at home is plodding along with no major issue so I’m not sure why I haven’t had any mojo this week. I have been really fired up to get started on the Dystopian Wars stuff but every time I’ve looked at them I’ve kind of frozen. My thinking is that because I don’t have clearly defined colour scheme for…
Weekly Waffle #287
I’m going to start off this week with an apology for anyone who was hoping to see some Dystopian Wars minis with some paint on them. That was my plan for this week but things have taken a bit of swerve on the hobby front. I had been tidying up my workspace which doubles up as my workspace at the moment, but that resulted in me moving the Dystopian Wars box and uncovering some other prepped miniatures. That mixed in with me finally catching up on the Expanse has meant the Dystopian Wars minis haven’t been touch so I’m sorry for that but it does give you something to look…
Weekly Waffle #286
It’s been something of a weird week so far and whilst I have quite a full update for you I haven’t done any painting at all. That’s not to say I haven’t managed to get in a reasonable amount of hobby time, just that none of it has involved a paint brush. But it has involved quite a lot of prep work so that I should be able to start on some painting next week. I could have broken things down a little and done less prep but got started with some painting but I just felt that it would be better in the long run if I did all…
