Weekly Waffle #368 – Half the Hearth
Weekly Waffle #368 – Half the Hearth 22nd February 2025 Demi Squad For this week’s Weekly Waffle I have stayed with the Leagues of Votann but moved away from command units. This week I’m bringing you the core of any force, the line troops. In the case of the Leagues these are the Hearthkyn Warriors. And in keeping with these hardy, if somewhat short of stature, warriors I’ve only managed to finish half of the squad. But such is there prowess in combat I’m sure they will serve the Leagues well, at least until next week when I hope to have the rest of the unit finished. I didn’t want…
Weekly Waffle #367 – Champion
Weekly Waffle #367 – Champion 15th February 2025 In this week’s Weekly Waffle I have continued to work on my Leagues of Votann characters. This time going with the Einhyr Champion. I’ve kept the formula the same by starting with the airbrush and then switching to the brush. The big difference, or at least it felt like a big difference when I was painting it, was the overwhelming amount of orange. On the Kahl and the Prospectors the orange armour parts were offset by the dark grey clothing. But this guy is nearly all armour so you don’t get that relief. I do think the base helps to offset things…
Weekly Waffle #366 – The Bald One
Weekly Waffle #366 – The Bald One 8th February 2025 This week’s Weekly Waffle see’s us staying with the Squats but this time we have moved away from Necromunda. I’ve kept the same colour scheme but have had to change the colour placement a little. But I think it still works well. The reason for the change is because I haven’t decided if I want the troops to have helmets or bare heads. And seeing as how the Kahl only comes with a bare head I had to do something that brought the blue into the top of the mini. Which I think this does nicely. It’s not quite the…
Weekly Waffle #363 – Little Prospect
Weekly Waffle #363 – Little Prospect 18th January 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have decided to stay in the vertically challenged world of the Squats. Or at least I have in terms of content I can share with you. To keep the mojo flowing I have also done some work on my next batch of Infinity minis, all three of them. But that has been more about cleaning them up and getting them primed. The jobs that always seem to take way longer than I anticipate. So working away on these bits whilst working on the rest of the squats is my way of trying to plan ahead.…
Weekly Waffle #362 – Vertically Challenged
Weekly Waffle #362 – Vertically Challenged 11th January 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle we are back to what I would consider to be normal. Or at least as normal as I ever get. I’ve had a nice relaxing break and then back to work and it’s straight back to the carnage. Lots on with lots more in store. But I’m setting my store out nice and early by using my lunch time to get a bit of extra hobby time in. But to be able to do this I have had to make a couple of small changes. My desk can quite often be quite unorganised so I’ve got…
Weekly Waffle #361 – Retrospective
Weekly Waffle #361 – Retrospective 4th January 2025 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I’m starting by having a bit of a look back on last year. Then I’ll lay out what I have planned for the rest of the year. I’m going to start by summing up last year as a hobby success. Now I will clarify that a little bit by saying that I’m not defining that success on quantity or quality. But rather on consistency. I managed to bring you a newly painted mini for every update. That doesn’t quite mean every week because I had a few trips where I deliberately didn’t do a post on the…
Weekly Waffle #355 – Big Boss Go Bot
Weekly Waffle #355 – Big Boss Go Bot 16th November 2024 And so it begins. I’ve had numerous reminders this week that it’s only six weeks until Christmas and we have a million things to do before then, or the world will end. So for this week’s weekly waffle I’m trying to inject a little bit of sanity into my weekend. Don’t get me wrong I know the jobs will have to be done and there is no hiding from it, but I’m going to hide for a little bit. Hopefully I will be able to distract you all with little bit of hobby trivia. So this week my test…
Weekly Waffle #354 – Ultimate Bad Ass Boyz
Weekly Waffle #354 – Ultimate Bad Ass Boyz 9th November 2024 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I have a few more painted minis for you but I also have a waffle about gaming options. And that is what I’m going to start with. Tuesday night is when our game club meets up and it’s fair to say some of our group have a less than healthy relationship with Kick Starter. The number of new games we have dabbled with is astronomical. But very few have ever found their way into regular game play. On Tuesday a couple of people were talking about trying to get people interested in playing something…
Weekly Waffle #353 – Bad Ass #1
Weekly Waffle #353 – Bad Ass # 2nd November 2024 The first thing that I just have to bring up on this week’s weekly waffle is how it already November. Some weeks have really dragged this year but it really doesn’t feel like ten whole months have passed. I do feel like I have done a lot this year but this is just not right. Anyway that shock to system out of the way this week really has flown by. But for all the wrong reasons from a hobby point of view. It’s getting to really crunch time at work for the project I’m working on and that has an…
Weekly Waffle #351 – Fly away
Weekly Waffle #351 – Fly away 19th October 2024 I mentioned last week that I had a lot of travelling about for work this week so my hobby time was going to be limited. Living in the UK means that normally we can drive or get on a train, assuming they are running, and get just about anywhere in a few hours. Unlike our cousins across the pond who have to fly for a short trip, such is the scale of the country. But what has this got to do with me I can hear you say. Well this week I have had to fly for work. Not the first…
