Weekly Waffle #155
With this week’s weekly waffle we are into yet another new year and it’s that time of year when we all get carried away and come up with lots of resolutions to do wondrous things. Now I don’t know about you but I do this every year and it lasts for a for a little while and then things go back to normal, so I’m going to try and do things a bit differently this year. I’m not going to set any grand goals for this year but I am going to try and break everything I do down into little chunks and to make sure I keep things varied…
Weekly Waffle #85
So having missed games night last week Al was poorly this week so no game again for the weekly waffle. I have spent some more time reading through the RECON rules and watching a few games on YouTube so I think I’m beginning to get to grips with it. But none of this has in anyway made me want to even think about painting the minis. Although I have seen some new civilians from Spector that look like they would work really well for RECON but I digress. On the hobby front this has been something of a Frostgrave week. I picked a load of miniatures when I was at…

Well where to start with this week’s weekly waffle. I got home from AdeptiCon 2016 on Tuesday and spent the day getting all those boring washing and ironing jobs out of the way whilst at the same time trying to stay awake and to beat the jet lag. I think that by time I want to bed on Tuesday I’d been up for something like thirty two hours. Then when the alarm went off on Wednesday I go got myself up straight away and that was it jet lag defeated. Obviously with all this travel we didn’t have a game nigh this week and I’ve done a separate update 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 #60
It’s been a mad week at work this week so I wasn’t really feeling in the mood when gaming night came around. The plan for the weekly waffle had been to finish off the MERCS game and then have our first game of Frostgrave. So the first part of the plan went well. Al had been reading up on the ‘Breach and Clear’ rules so we got straight into that and completed it with style. Maybe a bit too much style because at the end of the turn the security rating had gone up to level two which meant we couldn’t complete the mission so it was game over. I…

Game night was back on again for this week’s weekly waffle and I actually get in a couple of games, or finished one and started another to be more precise. Tyler wanted to have a go a Firestorm Armada so I dug out the start scenarios and models so we could give it a go. The result, I got an absolute tubing. I managed to last a few rounds but once he brought his broadsides into range I had no chance. But it was fun having a go at something different and we are going to carry on over the next few weeks. The next game came as something of…
Weekly Waffle #58
No game night for this week’s weekly waffle with Al being off on his jollies so in theory I should have had a bit more hobby time. But work seems to have decided to make me extra busy this week so haven’t go as much done as I would have liked. Although having said that I have managed to get some work done. So let’s start off with the big stuff. I’ve managed to make some good progress on the Bank with the roof and sign finished. I’m reasonably happy with the green on the walls but it needs a bit more work to pull out some of the detail…

Gaming for this week’s weekly waffle saw me and Al finish off our Malifaux game and after two nights of gaming we ended up with a draw. The interesting thing for me was that I lost half of my models and didn’t achieve any of the ‘strategies’ for the game but I did manage to pull of two ‘schemes’ which gave me four victory points. Al on the other hand managed to get two ‘strategies’ and one ‘scheme’ which game him four victory points as well, he also wiped out half of my crew, but he doesn’t get anything or that. That is one of the things I like about…
Weekly Waffle #56
This week’s weekly waffle actually started on Sunday morning with a six way x-wing game with each of us having 50 points. I was unimaginative and took Outrider and ended up facing off against to Y-666’s from Pete and Corrie, Al had a single E-wing, Stanners had an IG-2000 and Mike had a pair of Y-wings. I had a really good day and managed to get the first kill after Pete had been shot up by everyone else, dashing in to take the glory. It didn’t last though as I took a bit of a beating but was still there at the end. We ran out time in the end…
