Weekly Waffle #239
Well I missed the weekly waffle update last week but in my defence it was a significant birthday for me having survived to the half century mark so I was out with friends and the update just got forgotten about. Not that I have much of an update from the last two weeks but I didn’t’ want to skip another week. Game night last week was another Black Stone Fortress adventure, or more accurately it saw us continuing our adventure. We ended up with a couple of combat encounters but importantly we all managed to make it through and we managed to collect enough clues that we can now attempt…

I’ve had a bit of a break this week to try and recharge my batteries ahead of a final push to finish off the Warlord in a few weeks so it’s quite a short weekly waffle. It’s also seen something of gauntlet thrown down whilst I was out with Pete for a few beers over the weekend but I’ll get to that in a little while. First up this week I’ve got a gaming update for you. Yes, I know it’s something of rare thing for me to actually get a game in, unless it’s been a D&D session. But following the taster session we had playing Black Stone Fortress…

It’s only going to be a short weekly waffle today as I’ve been mad busy at work this week. As I mentioned last week are advertising lots of jobs at work which has meant that for most of the week I’ve either been helping my team write up their applications or shortlisting other applications. Not a hard job but very time consuming and I have to say at times absolutely soul destroying. It’s become a joy now when I get a good one. Now all of this has really impacted on my hobby time and it’s also meant that I’ve not actually finished my application and the window closes tomorrow…
Weekly Waffle #236
I missed game night this week and I’m gutted as the plan was to start a Black Stone Fortress campaign. Having said that it’s not the end of the world as there still chances to get involved but it would have been nice to be there from the start. So instead of having fun and playing games I was having to write a personal statement and job application as we are having a restructure at work and I need to go through the process of applying for my own job. So I was stressing out trying to get things completed but it’s not all bad as I’ve now got the…
Weekly Waffle #235
It’s been an interesting week this week and I can say that for this weeks weekly waffle at least the mojo seems to have returned. But before I get onto that I’m going to start with a gaming update as that was how I rounded off the end of las week. We had a really good D&D session on Sunday were we all seemed to be back on track with a nice clear or not to murky goal along with nice simple time line. We managed some a couple of days of uneventful travel before reaching our first objective so things were looking good. But we should have known that…
Weekly Waffle #234
Gamming for this weeks weekly waffle has been limited to a bit of disrupted but very enjoyable D&D session. No one got killed, a first for us in quite a while, we made a bit of money, spent a bit of money and have now set our path firmly on a new quest that will probably see our DM do all she can to kill us. So whilst we did allow ourselves to become a little bit distracted whilst some members of the part were doing their own little things in town in the end we have ended up back focused on a common mission. We even have something of…

Well it’s been a good hobby week this week, I’ve had lots of travel for work but what hobby I have had has been really good which has given me lots to share in this weeks weekly waffle Plus, there’s more to follow before the weekend is over. Game night was the first time I’ve been along in while and what a good night it was. First of all it was really nice and cool in the cellar so it was an escape from this heat wave we have here at the moment. Now I know some places are much hotter then here year round but for some of us…
Weekly Waffle #231
Things have calmed down a bit this week and I’ve had what I think is quite a good hobby week which I hope in turn give you a good weekly waffle. Although when it came to actually writing up what I’d been up to my fingers have not been dancing over the keyboard. It’s been like typing on a keyboard covered in molasses but the brush has flowed a little easier. I’ve been concentrating on the Warlord Titan with the legs now on the base and I think they are looking ok. They still need the weathering and they will also end up with a mat finish for most of…
Weekly Waffle #230
I’ve only got a token update for you this weeks weekly waffle as my mum hasn’t been to well so I’ve not had any hobby time for most of the week. Now the week did start quite well and I was back working on the Titan. I have to say that I think I had blanked out just how much work there is just in painting the armour trim. Or at least there is the way I do it. To get to this stage I’ve had to add base colour of copper which actually takes a couple of coats as it is going over the top of turquoise main colour.…

I’m going to start this weekly waffle with a tale of woe that I’m also letting double up as the reason I haven’t done as much work as I should. So what is the catastrophe that has befallen me this week. Well it’s one you will all be familiarly with if you been doing the hobby for length of time and that is not paying attention whilst wielding a craft knife. Now just to put this into perspective the only thing that has really be hurt is my pride at being such a buffoon. Simply put whilst trimming up some bases I’ve got bit carried away and put what I…
