Weekly Waffle #96
For this weeks weekly waffle game night saw the culmination of our four way Dystopian War game. Although after Corries efforts last week it was now down to a three way game with the Brits now being out of the picture. But his efforts had left the remaining Russian ships with quite a lot of damage, and in the Fleet Action rules every point of damage you are carrying removed one successful dice from you success pool. Which proved to be very frustrating this week. The dice gods were playing games with all of us this week with me being last in every initiative roll which meant the other decided…
Warhammer World Road Trip
So as I mentioned in last week’s weekly waffle I’ve had a bit of road trip to warhammer world today and thought I would do a quick update with a bit of a photo dump. I’ll save most of the details so I have something for the weekend but in the mean time I would just say that it was a really good trip. A big thanks to Al for driving, even though he’s now got me hooked on doing a Sylvaneth force for Age of Sigmar. Anyway I’ll leave it there for now other than to apologise about the quality of some of the images. But in my defence…
Weekly Waffle #66
For game night for this weeks weekly waffle me and Al had arranged to get some Guild Ball in so that we could get up to speed with the rules before Vengeance on the 14th of May. When I turned up Al was just finishing up a game of ‘40K Kill Team’ using the Space Marines and things weren’t going his way. I have to say that this isn’t a game that really interests me but I think it’s a good move from Games Workshop to do this sort of thing and the miniatures that come with the game are very nice. If I was still playing 40K then I…

No game again for this week’s weekly waffle with everyone getting ready for Christmas, although I don’t really know why you need to get ready. Anyway it’s been a bit of lazy week for me on all fronts. I’ve not done any painting and have only managed to get a bit more work done on the stompa scratch build. Although I’ve tried lots of different options to get to this point. The good thing from all my trial and error is that I now think I have design for the parts that aren’t yet finished, so another week or so should see the bulk of the work completed for the…
Weekly Waffle #49
No game night for this week’s weekly waffle so it gave me a bit more hobby time but I don’t know if this is a good thing or not. With the ‘Special Brew Challenge’ looming in the background I haven’t picked up a paint brush this week. Instead I’ve gone back to a bit of scratch building and started work on my ‘Grot Stompa’ again. This basically came about following on the Red Steel event where both Ben and Al said that there was no chance of me having it finished for Christmas (2016), so I’m going to prove them wrong. I’ve shown some of the pictures before but as…
Weekly Waffle #48
For this week’s weekly waffle we have been planning and at the weekend a few of us came up with a plan for next year. Nothing special just a way to try and get a few more games in. So we’ve decided that January is going to be Wild West Exodus month, followed by Malifaux in February and then something new for March with Frost Grave. As a bit of inspiration we’ve set up a bit of challenge to have crews painted for everything and to make sure we don’t slack off there is forfeit for anyone who doesn’t have their models ready. But I’ll go into a bit more…

Weekly Gaming Update
Weekly Waffle #46
No game night for this week’s weekly waffle but as I posted during the week I did spend Tuesday morning sat in front of the computer trying to book tickets for Adepticon next year. And at 02:00 in the morning it turned out to be an exercise in frustration. I did manage to book the tickets in the end but it took a grand total of two hours and I didn’t manage to book all the games and hobby seminars everyone wanted. Now that I’ve had chance to sleep on it I can’t be too disappointed but at the time I was nearly crying. Everything went well until I got…
Weekly Waffle #41
So then, I feel another wandering weekly waffle coming on again this week with something of an eclectic mix for you this week. Game night again this week but unfortunately I missed it. Went out the car on Tuesday night only to find that the battery was dead and it wouldn’t start. Car hadn’t been used for a week so it was a bit of pain. Anyway I didn’t need it again until Friday so Dad to the rescue with some jump leads on Thursday night and things are working again. Top and bottom of it though is that I now don’t trust it to start when I need it…
Weekly Waffle #36
This week’s weekly waffle has continued the roller coaster of hobby ups and downs. At work on Tuesday morning to be told that I need to go to Newcastle for three days, nothing wrong with that but it puts a dent in my painting time. Not to mention that I would mean I would miss out on gaming night and a game of X-wing I had arranged with Pete. Well it keeps the bank manager at bay and at least I didn’t lose. But even though I’ve spent some time away I have managed to get some hobby time in although it has been very eclectic. First up I was…
