Weekly Waffle #62
Game night for this week’s weekly waffle#Site Title #Post Title #Site Title #Post Title saw me and Al abandon our planned game of Frostgrave. Partly because we didn’t like the terrain we had and partly because we need to get a practice game of Wild West Exodus in before we head off to Adepticon. And that was where the trouble started because neither of us could remember what games we had actually signed up for. So we go online and check, and that was when I started to panic. The game I’m signed up for is the Big Bass, a $1200 game and I know I have enough points for…

No game night for this week’s weekly waffle but I’ve been on the road all week for work so wouldn’t have been able to get any gaming in anyway. But me and Al have agreed that we are going to get our first game of Frostgrave in next week. On the hobby front I haven’t been able to spend a lot of time on things this week. But the time I have had I think has been really productive. I think this goes back to what I was talking about last week in relation to painting models I like as opposed to models I need, or think I need. By…

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…

So game night for this week’s weekly waffle on Tuesday but it only consisted of me and Al so we spent the night trying to work out what we need to do in order to book our Adepticon tickets. The long and short of it is that I somehow ended up “volunteering” to do the booking for all of us. Which means being up at two in the morning on the 24th to book them so that’s something to look forward to. On the hobby front I’ve been playing around with some base designs this week. I’ve made a bunch of wooden decking bases that I plan on using for…

Ok where to start with his week’s weekly waffle. I’ve continued to add more content to the site, specifically the galleries, since last week’s update. There are now six different galleries up and running and I’ve even made sure that I’ve added descriptions to all of the individual images, which was a really exciting job. But not half as exciting as going back over all the previous posts on the site and adding ‘tags’ to them, all so that it will be possible to search for content. Having said that now that it’s done I’ve learnt my lesson and I’ll be making sure it’s part of any future updates. On…
Weekly Waffle #13
A really mixed week for this week’s weekly waffle. It actually started last weekend when I had a few games of X-Wing and I’m now hooked. A few of my friends have been playing it since it came out and I’ve had a few games in the past but never got the bug. Then last Saturday I played a few games using a YT-2400, because I really like the look and the fluff in the expanded universe. As it turns out it’s also fun to play so I’m now going to have to look at building up a 100 point list and wee where we go from there. Guild ball…

For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve been working to finish off some of the Batman models from last week. I’ve managed to get some of the basic objective markers finished off and made some progress on the Joker gas cylinders but these still need some free hand to finish them off. Next up we have the Riddler which I am really happy with. I think the green really stands out especially with some of the darker detail. I use purple for the darker sections after finding some examples of these colours on line. They will also carry through it I use him as part of the Joker crew as I…
Weekly Waffle #11
I didn’t do a weekly waffle last week because a good friend of mine who I’ve known since we were kids passed away and I just didn’t feel that producing an update was somehow appropriate. But the whole experience has made me think that it’s important to enjoy what we have and for me that includes my hobby which has been something of an escape for me over the last couple of weeks. Just a way to escape for a while. So what have I been up to? Well first off I have been getting busy with the green stuff and making some base inserts. I’ve made a batch for…
Weekly Waffle #9
Something of a mixed week for this week’s weekly waffle. I felt I was losing my mojo with all the Infinity I seem to have been painting over the last couple of weeks so I switched to something different. The result has been some more work on my Batman collection with the Heath Ledger Joker which I think is a fantastic model. Then it was on to a couple of henchmen in the form of Mr Hammer & Mr Sickle. I like both these models and after reading up on their background, they were conjoined twins, I decided to paint them both at the same time. Just to make sure…
