Weekly Waffle #424 – The Quilted Vanguard – Redefining the Dwarven Front Line
13th June 2026 The Mojo I’ve had a good hobby week this week the painting gods mostly shining on me. Work remains carnage but my hobby time remains a welcome break and I’m hoping that this week’s weekly waffle isn’t the publishing train wreck that last weeks was. Everything seemed to go wrong last week so I have been been keeping an extra close eye on things this week . I’ve also booked a holiday for July so that is something to look forward to. But all in all it’s been a good week and I hope you enjoy the weekly waffle as much as I’ve enjoyed the week. On…
Beneath the Mountain: Lore and Tactics of the Quilted Vanguard
Welcome to the Chronicles, the digital home for my passion for miniature painting, tabletop gaming, and the general hobby life. If you are a regular reader of the Weekly Waffle, you know I usually have my hands full cleaning mold lines off Warhammer figures, messing around with Blood Bowl coaches, or chasing after the latest indie skirmish game. I’m no competitive grandmaster or Crystal Brush guru, just a guy who loves the smell of primer and sometimes gets severe “hobby butterflies.” Today, we are taking a break from the painting desk to step into the theatre of the mind. I’ve been digging back into the Dungeons & Dragons rules over…
Weekly Waffle #340 – A mans best friend
Weekly Waffle #340 – A mans best friend 6th July 2024 For this week,s weekly waffle I am sticking with the most notorious and sought after members of the under-hive. Although this time I’m turning the stature up a little. I do love my squats but not everyone feels that way. So we are going for something a little less vertically challenged. I already have quite a large contingent of Orlocks and I’m looking to expand that even further this week with the addition of Slate Merdena & Macula, Orlock Hired Gun. This is a set that I have liked since it first came out but I just haven’t got…

Weekly Waffle #277
Well it’s the start of the year and that time where the foolish amongst make all sorts of promises about what we are going to accomplish in the year ahead. Based on last year I’m not going to make any promises but I am going to stick my head above the parapet and say that there are some things I’m going to do. The first is very much dependent on being able to see friends again but once we get there I’m going to work a lot harder to get some gaming in. I’ve been lazy when it comes to learning games and painting models up for games, so I’m…

Weekly Waffle #237
It’s only going to be a short weekly waffle today as I’ve been mad busy at work this week. As I mentioned last week are advertising lots of jobs at work which has meant that for most of the week I’ve either been helping my team write up their applications or shortlisting other applications. Not a hard job but very time consuming and I have to say at times absolutely soul destroying. It’s become a joy now when I get a good one. Now all of this has really impacted on my hobby time and it’s also meant that I’ve not actually finished my application and the window closes tomorrow…

It’s been an interesting week this week and I can say that for this weeks weekly waffle at least the mojo seems to have returned. But before I get onto that I’m going to start with a gaming update as that was how I rounded off the end of las week. We had a really good D&D session on Sunday were we all seemed to be back on track with a nice clear or not to murky goal along with nice simple time line. We managed some a couple of days of uneventful travel before reaching our first objective so things were looking good. But we should have known that…
Weekly Waffle #234
Gamming for this weeks weekly waffle has been limited to a bit of disrupted but very enjoyable D&D session. No one got killed, a first for us in quite a while, we made a bit of money, spent a bit of money and have now set our path firmly on a new quest that will probably see our DM do all she can to kill us. So whilst we did allow ourselves to become a little bit distracted whilst some members of the part were doing their own little things in town in the end we have ended up back focused on a common mission. We even have something of…
Weekly Waffle #230
I’m going to start this weekly waffle with a tale of woe that I’m also letting double up as the reason I haven’t done as much work as I should. So what is the catastrophe that has befallen me this week. Well it’s one you will all be familiarly with if you been doing the hobby for length of time and that is not paying attention whilst wielding a craft knife. Now just to put this into perspective the only thing that has really be hurt is my pride at being such a buffoon. Simply put whilst trimming up some bases I’ve got bit carried away and put what I…
