The Dwarf Runner – The Bearded Bullet of the Blood Bowl Pitch
Ah, pull up a stool and grab a flagon of Bugman’s XXXXXX, dear reader! Today, we’re descending into the subterranean world of the Dwarf Faction in Blood Bowl. Specifically, we’re looking at a position that is as essential to a Dwarf team as beard wax is to a Longbeard: the Dwarf Runner (or as many old-school coaches still call them, the “Dwarf Catcher”). Now, I know what you’re thinking. “A Dwarf catching things? Isn’t that like asking a brick to perform a ballet?” Well, you’re not entirely wrong. But in the wacky, high-stakes world of Nuffle’s favorite sport, the Runner is a marvel of engineering, stubbornness, and surprisingly nimble fingers.…
Weekly Waffle #418 – Pocket Rockets and Gridiron Grudges
2nd May 2026 The Mojo I’ve had another good week again this week even though I’ve been really busy at work so hobby time has been limited. I’ve been cracking on with Blood Bowl and have another couple of minis finished off. I’ve also spent quite a bit of time on the train this week and I’ve been working ideas for a couple of future projects. One is more on the kit bash side of the house with a new Gang for Necromunda and the other is a new colour scheme for an existing Necromunda gang. For the new gang I’m going to have to track down some bits for…
Weekly Waffle #417 – Blood Bowl’s Mohawked Missile of Mayhem
25th April 2026 The Mojo I’ve had another good week on the hobby front. Progress has been slow but steady and I’ve really enjoyed my hobby time. On a none hobby front I’m love bike racing, the pedal powered version. And this week they announced the Tour De France Feemi will be coming to the UK for a stage between Manchester and Sheffield. Both are cities I work in on a regular basis and the announcement was done right opposite our Manchester office. Which as something is a surprise. But a very nice one. On The Work Bench I’ve been cracking on with my blood bowl dwarves this week and…
The Troll Slayer – Blood Bowl’s Mohawked Missile of Mayhem
Welcome back, sports fans and plastic crack addicts! Today, we’re lacing up our boots and heading to the gridiron of the Old World. We’re talking about Blood Bowl, the game where the grass is stained red, the referee is usually bribed, and the “touchdown” is often secondary to a well-placed elbow to the windpipe. But we aren’t just looking at any team. We’re focusing on the stunties. Specifically, the most unhinged, death-seeking, orange-haired lunatics to ever grace a pitch: the Dwarf Troll Slayer. If you’ve ever looked at a game of rugby and thought, “This needs more axes, existential dread, and vertical hair,” then boy, do I have the player…
Weekly Waffle #416 – The Grumpy, Unmovable Meatloaf
18th April 2026 The Mojo: Welcome back to this week’s weekly waffle and amongst this weeks updates I am also trying out a little bit of a change to the flow of waffle. Trying to add a little bit of structure to help me keep things on track. But don’t worry it’s not a wholesale change to the content. Just trying to break things down into sections so that it’s easier to read, easier to find things, and easier for me not to forget things. It’s been a good week this week even though I haven’t actually got a lot completed. Lots of travel for work has given me some…

Joseph Bugman the Star Player
Josef Bugman is a name synonymous with the finest ale in the Old World, but don’t let the scent of malt and hops fool you. Behind the master brewer is a stout-hearted warrior with a grip like a vice and a temper that flares hotter than a forge. While he has long supported the Gritty Grumps from the sidelines, the time has come for Bugman to lace up his boots, strap on his gromril reinforced pads, and show the league that he’s just as dangerous with a block as he is with a brew. When Bugman steps onto the pitch, he isn’t just playing for the fans; he’s playing for…

Weekly Waffle #407 – The Year of the Brush: A 2025 Weekly Waffle Retrospective
Weekly Waffle #407 – The Year of the Brush: A 2025 Weekly Waffle Retrospective 10th January 2026 Welcome to 2026 and for this week’s TerminatorTids weekly waffle I am going to start the year off with a wrap up of 2025. It’s been a year of soaring highs, questionable paint choices, and a fair bit of “waffling” about everything from the price of plastic to the best way to paint a bird of prey. If 2024 was about finding the mojo, 2025 was the year I allowed it to trickle out across the pitch, the tabletop, and even the skatepark. Pull up a chair, grab a brew, and let’s dive…
