Weekly Waffle #431 – Wolf Scout Trapmaster
8th July 2026 The Mojo For this week’s weekly waffle I have been trying to get myself back into some good habits and I’ve used the Space Wolves Trapmaster to help me. It’s still manic at work and that isn’t going to change any time soon. That means my hobby time is going to be limited and I don’t want to spend what time I do have racing to get some waffle together. I want to spend it painting. So I have been mindful of that and I’ve made myself use the time I have on the train to do the writing. Freeing me up to actually enjoy my hobby…
Weekly Waffle #430 – Putting the Kill in Kill Team
8th August 2026 The Mojo For this week’s weekly waffle I’m back on the apology road. It’s been a very odd week for me this week with time once again being tight but I’ve had lots of hobby mojo. And I hope you like what I’ve been up to. But the mojo for actually typing up the update has deserted me completely this week. I normally write the update during the week when I get snippets of time but I’ve just done noticing this week. I’ve then had a few things on today that have stopped me getting anything written up but I was adamant that I couldn’t miss another…
Weekly Waffle #422 – The Slayer Who Refuses to Die
30th May 2026 The Mojo I’ve been back at work this week but I’ve not let that get me down. It’s amazing how many e-mails people seem to send saying the world will end if you don’t respond immediately. Then you get in touch with them once your back and everything has just magically resolved itself. The mojo is still here and this week brings my Gritty Groups up to fill strength so I will be moving onto something new next week. Although at the moment I’m not sure exactly what that is going to be. But I’ve narrowed it down to either Trench Crusade or Carnivale. On The Work…
Weekly Waffle #421 – The Dwarf Who Brought a Cannon to a Ball Game
23rd May 2026 The Mojo I’ve had a really good week, mainly because I haven’t been in work this week but I’ve also managed to get quite a bit of hobby time in. The mojo has been high I’m still enjoying myself. Monument Hobby has released its version of contrast paints this week and I’m toying with the idea of trying a couple of them but I’ve not pulled the trigger on that yet. But watch this space because I’m a sucker for anything new and shiny that I think will make me a better painter. But I do want to share something that I have discovered this week that…
Weekly Waffle #419 – The Bearded Battering ram of the Blood Bowl Pitch
9th May 2026 The Mojo I’ve had another good week and I’m beginning to like it. No major drama at work or on the hobby front. Had a nice weekend with the wife and managed to sneak in a few cheeky bank holiday Sunday drinks. And on the hobby front the time I’ve had seems to all have gone well. I’ve even managed to service my compressor, well removed and refitted all the hoses with ptfe tape. So no more slow leaks I’ve also noticed that it wasn’t possible to save some of the pictures on the site when I switched things up. But that should start to change. It…
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 #401 – Whistle Warriors
Weekly Waffle #401 – Whistle Warriors 15th November 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have returned to the world of Blood Bowl. But this time I’ve gone for people on the pitch that everyone loves to hate. That’s right, if you’re a rugby player you will call them sir. If your football player you will call them something I’m not willing to repeat here on a Saturday morning. Which can only mean it’s time to bring out the referee. I had really enjoyed painting the halflings and I brought that sense of fun into this project. From a colour perspective I just went with the box art as my…
Weekly Waffle #400 – The Cucumber Soakers
Weekly Waffle #400 – The Cucumber Soakers 8th November 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve finalised this round of sporting excellence by bringing all of the Halflings together as a team for you. It’s been a fun few week’s painting these guys up and brining you some details about the different positions within the team. But now it’s time to bring them all together for a final review. There are some more spaces in the roster that I want to fill over the coming week’s or months but it’s go spot to wrap up this stage of the project. The next bits will take the form of some Treemen…
Weekly Waffle #399 – Half Pint Titans
Weekly Waffle #399 – Half Pint Titans 1st November 2025 This week’s weekly waffle brings the final position in the core of the Halfling team. And you can argue that these are the glory hounds of the team in the form of the catchers. Getting themselves in a position to be the hero and win the day. As I’ve been touching on in the previous updates there have been a few things that I have done differently when painting these guys. One of them was using thinned down contrast paints as filters to change the tone of the colour below them. Or at least my limited knowledge is a filter.…
Weekly Waffle #398 – Up for fight
Weekly Waffle #398 – Up for fight 25th October 2025 This week’s weekly waffle sees the Blood Bowl project continue but this time I’m bringing you the Hefty’s. For anyone who has any interest in rugby I’m imagining my Hefty’s essentially being flankers. Only interested in the fight and not really that bothered about anything else taking place on the pitch. I touched on some of this last week but I used all sorts of different paints and techniques on these guys. One thing that I think has worked really well and is really basic was in the basing. I normally paint the bases up separately and then add the…
