Weekly Waffle #114
Lots of travel again for me for this weeks weekly waffle so no game night for me but I did try get some of my none gamer colleagues to try a new game but this one was a bit of a fail. I have Rory’s game cubes on my phone so I tried to get them to have a go but they weren’t that interested. They liked the idea so I may have to pick up some actual cubes and give it a go again. Whilst the app is really nice there is something just a bit more engaging about having the dice rolling on a table where everyone can…

No game night this week and I haven’t even managed to get a game of Chupacabra in for the weekly waffle, with all the traveling I’ve been doing. Considering the UK is not a large country I’ve certainly spent my far share how hours behind the wheel this week. Driving backwards and forwards, on a nearly daily basis, between the North West and the north east. Like I say the distances are vast but it eats up a lot of time. The only thing that has kept me sane has been my iPod on shuffle reminding me that I have what I am going to call a very eclectic taste…

So for this week’s weekly waffle I thought the stars would align and I would get loads of work done with me not having any travel at all, but that didn’t turn out to be the case. I had loads of time but for the first time in quite a while I just didn’t have any mojo so as I result is spent most of time this week watching re-runs of Farscape and Atlantis. Now that’s not a bad thing but it’s not good if you want to crack on with a project. Keeping with the theme of things not going to plan there was no game night this week…

So no travel it interrupt this weeks weekly waffle which is a nice change, although there was no game night this week because Al was working. I just can’t seem to win at the moment. But it has given me a bit more time to put this week’s waffle together and whilst I’ve not managed to get a great deal of painting done there have been a few things that have caught my eye this week. I’ve been really intrigued by some of the wording that came along with the latest 40k releases. Specifically those that go along with the images of Cypher. Now I have to say that I’m…

So for this weeks weekly waffle I’ve found myself in something akin to the gaming doldrums, that’s not because I’ve lost my mojo, far from it, it’s just that work has once again go in the way. So no game night for me this week being stuck in a hotel in sunny Sunderland. I did plan to try and get some hobby in by taking some minis with me to clean up and build so that I can get some painting done this weekend. But I didn’t manage to get as much done as I would have liked. I spent most of my evenings, not in the bar but having…

Game night for this week’s weekly waffle saw us get a couple more rounds Dystopian Wars in. With hindsight going for a four way game as our introduction to Fleet Actions may not have been the best idea but it is generating some interesting game play. Al’s Britianian fleet has been picking on Dan’s Black Wolf fleet with some devastating ramming action. I lost my first ship to fire from Dan’s Manticore and Pete has continued to harass Al’s dreadnaught that has now taken seven points of damage (out of ten). But we also learned that the Brits have a special rule where they can repair damage at the end…

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…
