Weekly Waffle #113
For game night this week read game day and whilst it was technically last week following the update I’m still using it for this weekly waffle. Plus it takes me into the new world of computer gaming as opposed table top gaming, although it did put my beer on a table so as far as I’m concerned that counts. Things didn’t quite go to plan however as the originally we were going to try out the multi-crew function in the new Elite Dangerous Beta. But as often happens with these things when the Beta came out the multi-crew didn’t work. So instead I spent an afternoon in VR learning to…
Weekly Waffle #111
It’s been another one of those crazy weeks for the weekly waffle were it feels like the world has been conspiring against me. No normal game night this week because I’ve been working away all week but I did manage to get a bit of gaming in. I introduced some of the people I work with to Chupacabra in the pub. Now I have to say that they were all a bit dubious to start with but it only a single game to get them hooked. It wasn’t long before people were walking past our table to get a look at what we were doing. So that’s at least half…
Weekly Waffle #93
Game night for this weeks weekly waffle saw us continuing with our four way Dystopian Wars battle and I’m happy to report that the mighty Russians are still in the battle. Although one of Gun Ships has taken a points worth of damage. Everyone else has lost a least a couple of ships but to be honest they only reason I haven’t lost more is that I can’t get into range. The battle moved away from me right at the start and I have been playing catch up ever since. That is good in one way because I have received the least attention and as such the least damage. On…

Weekly Waffle #71
In some wired Doctor Who theme this week’s weekly waffle actually starts before last week’s update was posted with the Vengeance 2016 Guild Ball event. As I’ve been going on about it for the last few weeks I’m sure you are all aware of it but as quick re-cap it was a 120 person event organised by Guild Ball Informer. To say that I was nervous would be a bit understatement but it turned out to be a really good event. If you were following along on twitter last week you already know how well things went for me, but for those who don’t know it went something like this.…
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…
Alchemist’s Guild Painting Guide
I’ve got something a bit different for you here in the form of an Alchemist’s Guild Painting Guide. With these being such new models there aren’t any painted examples out there to get inspiration from. This is good in that anything that I do should be ok but bad in that I find deciding on a colour scheme one of the hardest things to do when starting a new project. Whilst there are no painted models out there, or none that I can find, there is quite a bit of artwork that shows the Alchemist’s Guild with a mainly green colour scheme to them. In particular the images on the…
Weekly Waffle #23
Ok then I’ve got a few updates for you on todays weekly waffle. Gaming this week was back to playing Zombiside. We had a slightly different line up of players this week and we even had a plan. Everything started off really well with us all working together and soon having all the items we needed to collect. All in the first large building we entered. So now all we needed to do was collect the three remaining objective markers and head for home. The only problem was that we already had the ‘A-bomb’ zombie on the table. Still not that big of a problem as a Molotov cocktail soon…
Weekly Waffle #22
No gaming club for this week’s weekly waffle so I’ve spent the whole week just focusing on cracking on with Guild Ball. The bulk of my time this week has been spent working on the Fisherman’s Guild. The poses on these models make them harder to paint than the Alchemists and I’ve struggled to come up with a colour scheme that I’m happy with. The obvious choice was to go down the route of the studio painted models but I know I just couldn’t do that justice and would never be happy with what I ended up with. So I kept the idea of working with blue as the main…
