• Weekly Waffle #77

    It’s been another really busy week for me this week so I’ve had hardly any hobby time at all so we have a short weekly waffle. I was in Newcastle on Tuesday for work so missed out on game night again. Although we did all go for a few beers in the evening so it wasn’t all bad. The Italian fleet is now following a more Mediterranean build schedule with lots of long breaks. So all I’ve been able to do since last week is to paint all the desks across the fleet and make a start on the details. My first attempt at this was to go straight in…

    It’s been a bit of a mad week for me this week and I’ve been traveling up and down the country for work so not big weekly waffle. So lots of time spent on the train but not a lot of time on hobby. Having said then I have managed to start a new project and I think I’ve got off to a good start. With all the Guild ball stuff I’ve been doing of late I felt like I needed a bit of change with the new quick play rules now out for Dystopian Wars I decided to try something new. I’ve said this before but it’s worth saying…

    Weekly Waffle #20

    I’ve managed to get a few different games in for this week’s weekly waffle starting with Star Wars X-wing last Sunday. We had a bit of mash up with a six player three way battle. Two Imperial, two rebel alliance and two scum & villainy. I was on the rebel side and used Dash in the Outrider along with an E-wing. Things went well to start with until the Imperials and Scum decided to pick on me and turn the Outrider into a pile of scrap. We didn’t play the game out to the end because we just ran out of time but it’s fair to say that scum were…

    This week’s weekly waffle has seen me continuing with both my Black Wolf Fleet for Dystopian Wars and the Alchemist Guild for Guild Ball. Although it’s fair to say that the bulk of my time has been spent on the Black Wolf fleet. I just seemed to get into a flow with them and have really enjoyed painting them. It’s been a bit of trial and error with them but I’ve got the colour scheme nailed down now. Even though the Ghost Tint never seemed to dry. Or to be more precise it felt dry to the touch be seemed to bleed through when I tried to apply any colour…

    I’ve had a really nice week for this week’s weekly waffle with no crises or catastrophe’s which has meant I have managed to fit in some relaxing hobby time. In keeping with my idea about mixing up what I’m working on so that I don’t get bored or bogged down I’ve split my time between Guild Ball and Dystopian Wars. On the Guild Ball front I’ve sorted out the colour palate I’m going to be using for my Alchemist Guild and have blocked in all the colours so I can get a feel for how they will look. I was really happy with how they looked and I’ve now started…

    Well after the turmoil and carnage that has been the last few weeks for me, this weeks weekly waffle has seen a welcome return to what passes for normality. No crises, catastrophes or disasters, just a run of the mill normal week. On the hobby front I’ve managed to finish off my Dystopian Wars Russian Coalition Arial Battle Group. Finishing these off has also got me looking as some different options what it comes to list building. As a Russian player my go to option seems to always be the ‘Gunship’. For their points they one of the best ships out there, able to soak up a beating to get…

    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…
