Weekly News Roundup
I’ve been a bit lax this weeks weekly news roundup so the only thing I for you this week is the introduction of the new Guildball two player starter set. Everything you need to get playing. I’m just glad I already have both of these teams or I’d have been snapping one of these up. http://elementgames.co.uk/wargames-and-miniatures/cult-steampunk-other-miniatures-games/guild-ball/kick-off
Weekly Waffle #91
No game night this week for the weekly waffle with Al having to earn some pennies to keep the bank manager at bay. But we have decided that October is going to be Dystopian Wars month with games planned for the rest of the month so I need to get a look at the new Fleet Action rules before next week to work out what I need. Not that it really matter because my Russians are going to rule the wave, he says with mock bravado. On the hobby front I’ve been working on something of an eclectic mix with a bit of Malifaux, some Relics and some wall building…
Derby World Wargames 2016
Last Saturday (1st October) saw me visiting my first proper wargame show in the UK at Derby World Wargames. Ok I’ve been to Games Day before but I’m not counting that because whilst it’s a big event it’s only one company. Al had arranged to go down to Derby for the Derby World Wargames show at Castle Donington and I tagged along with him. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting but having had a look at the vendor list before setting off there were a couple of things that had already perked my interest. First things first I’d like to say a big thank you to Dan for driving…
Weekly News Roundup
Continuing on from last weeks roundup just a few things that have caught my eye this week. Puppets War Sorcerer. https://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=626 I’ve had a few things from Puppets War in the past, mainly in the line of Ork conversions and I’ve always found them to be very nice. This Sorcerer caught my eye and I thought it could be a really nice model to use in a Frostgrave Warband. I particularly like the way the book he is reading or casting from appears to be floating, a very nice touch. Malifaux Gaming Mat. http://www.deepcutstudio.com/product/malifaux-game-mat-cobblestone/ I like Deep Cut mats and with me painting a new Malifaux crew at the…
Weekly Waffle #90
I didn’t get a game in this week’s weekly waffle but did get to watch Al get beat up in a game of Age of Sigmar. I still have no idea what is going on in the game but he had loads of Sigmar guys against some nearly unkillable lizard things. Needless to say he didn’t manage to kill it but it was fun watching him try. The Tree Lord is finally finished although it doesn’t’ really look any different than last time. It’s basically just been a case of working round the model making sure all the details have been captured, and believe them there are a lot of…

Weekly News Roundup
Weekly Roundup for the 25th September. I thought I’d try something a bit different this week and put some links in to things I’ve found whilst purposing the net this week. A few things that caught my eye that I thought you might like to take a look at. I’m also thinking of trying to make this a semi regular thing so if there is anything you would like to share with the community why not leave it in the comments below. Dystopian Wars drilling rig shown off on Beasts of War. http://www.beastsofwar.com/dystopian-wars/drill-sturginium-rig/ This one caught my eye because me and Al were talking on Tuesday about running some…
Weekly Waffle #89
Didn’t get much gaming done on game night for this weeks weekly waffle. Al was full of cold so we just spent some time drinking tea and building up some Mantic terrain and getting confused. It’s a good one for a waffle though. Most to the terrain goes together really easily and is very intuitive but there are some pieces that just don’t seem to make sense. A classic example is that there is a really nice engine / generator piece but one side looks like it isn’t finished or that something else should fit up to it. The only problem is that we have been through every other piece…
Lens cloths & Blue-Tac
Ok how do lens cloths and Blue-Tac find their way into a top tips article on a table top games hobby site? Well notwithstanding the fact that I wear glasses and I need them to keep said glasses clean they can also be really useful when you are using an airbrush. Or at least I’ve found that they can be really useful and this is what I want to share with you. At Adepticon (2016) I picked up a couple of new airbrushes with the intention of really getting to grips with using them. My first project with them as a Reaper Mountain Troll but in true ‘getting a bit…
Weekly Waffle #88
No game night for this weeks weekly waffle which was something of blessing to be honest. Tuesday was my first day back at work after a couple weeks off and it was manic. Phone never stopped ringing and I was like a zombie by the time I finished. Two mostly relaxing weeks wiped away in a few hours. It’s not like I the world was ending or anything like that. Anyway back into the groove so onto the important stuff. This week has been an Age of Sigmar week and that is something I never thought I would be saying. I’ve never played Fantasy so didn’t really have an opinion…
