Weekly Waffle #407 – The Year of the Brush: A 2025 Weekly Waffle Retrospective
Weekly Waffle #407 – The Year of the Brush: A 2025 Weekly Waffle Retrospective 10th January 2026 Welcome to 2026 and for this week’s TerminatorTids weekly waffle I am going to start the year off with a wrap up of 2025. It’s been a year of soaring highs, questionable paint choices, and a fair bit of “waffling” about everything from the price of plastic to the best way to paint a bird of prey. If 2024 was about finding the mojo, 2025 was the year I allowed it to trickle out across the pitch, the tabletop, and even the skatepark. Pull up a chair, grab a brew, and let’s dive…
Weekly Waffle #406 – It’s Always Casket Time
Weekly Waffle #406 – It’s Always Casket Time 20th December 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve stayed with the morticians, which I have to say even for a grinch like me feels a little odd with Christmas right around the corner. It’s been a very odd week with lots of last minute things. Be that work things that absolutely have to done this week or the world will end. Despite the fact no one is going to be there to do anything with it. Or those last minute things that have to be done for Christmas. Although I think we are only feeding a large regiment and a…
Weekly Waffle #405 – The Grinning Executioner
Weekly Waffle #405 – The Grinning Executioner 13th December 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have continued to work on the Morticians and I have also started to try and organise some of my project ideas into something that I can share with you. At the moment it’s just a collection of notes and pictures but I’m starting to get it into something that could be a nice update. It’s been interesting just how much I’ve been able to do on my phone whilst I’m on the train. My hobby time has been spent working on Bonesaw which is one of my favourite Mortician miniatures. It just has so…
Weekly Waffle #404 – Feathered Fear on the Pitch
Weekly Waffle #404 – Feathered Fear on the Pitch 6th December 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have continued with the dark and brooding Morticians but I have a little something else I want to share before I show you what I’ve been up to. As this is supposed to be a waffle I thought I would share some ideas that have been floating around in my head. Don’t judge me for this but I saw some human Tau auxiliary kit bash’s that I really liked the look of. And it got me thinking that I would like to have a go at doing something like this. Just a…
Weekly Waffle #403 – Cutting to the Core of the Morticians
Weekly Waffle #403 – Cutting to the Core of the Morticians 29th November 2025 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I have stayed on the playing fields with more Guild Ball Mortician action for you. I’ve used the same scheme as last week and I’m beginning to settle into a bit of flow. The challenge I’m finding now is in which bits I decide to pick out in purple. I don’t want to do too much as it’s only really intended to be an accent. But at the same time it needs to make sense to the overall flow of the miniature. For Scalpel here it worked nicely to just use…
Weekly Waffle #402 – Two Players, One Creepy Show
Weekly Waffle #402 – Two Players, One Creepy Show 22nd November 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have once again switch codes and move back to Guild Ball. I was inspired by painting up the older version of Obulus so went ahead and picked up some of the current Morticians miniatures. There are currently two boxes available and I decided to start with ’Strings of the Spirit Weaver’. Just because it had characters in it that I hadn’t previously painted. But don’t worry the new version of Obulus will make a return in a future update. I’ve tweaked the colour scheme a little but it’s still essentially what I…
Weekly Waffle #401 – Whistle Warriors
Weekly Waffle #401 – Whistle Warriors 15th November 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have returned to the world of Blood Bowl. But this time I’ve gone for people on the pitch that everyone loves to hate. That’s right, if you’re a rugby player you will call them sir. If your football player you will call them something I’m not willing to repeat here on a Saturday morning. Which can only mean it’s time to bring out the referee. I had really enjoyed painting the halflings and I brought that sense of fun into this project. From a colour perspective I just went with the box art as my…
Weekly Waffle #400 – The Cucumber Soakers
Weekly Waffle #400 – The Cucumber Soakers 8th November 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve finalised this round of sporting excellence by bringing all of the Halflings together as a team for you. It’s been a fun few week’s painting these guys up and brining you some details about the different positions within the team. But now it’s time to bring them all together for a final review. There are some more spaces in the roster that I want to fill over the coming week’s or months but it’s go spot to wrap up this stage of the project. The next bits will take the form of some Treemen…
Weekly Waffle #399 – Half Pint Titans
Weekly Waffle #399 – Half Pint Titans 1st November 2025 This week’s weekly waffle brings the final position in the core of the Halfling team. And you can argue that these are the glory hounds of the team in the form of the catchers. Getting themselves in a position to be the hero and win the day. As I’ve been touching on in the previous updates there have been a few things that I have done differently when painting these guys. One of them was using thinned down contrast paints as filters to change the tone of the colour below them. Or at least my limited knowledge is a filter.…
Weekly Waffle #398 – Up for fight
Weekly Waffle #398 – Up for fight 25th October 2025 This week’s weekly waffle sees the Blood Bowl project continue but this time I’m bringing you the Hefty’s. For anyone who has any interest in rugby I’m imagining my Hefty’s essentially being flankers. Only interested in the fight and not really that bothered about anything else taking place on the pitch. I touched on some of this last week but I used all sorts of different paints and techniques on these guys. One thing that I think has worked really well and is really basic was in the basing. I normally paint the bases up separately and then add the…
