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…
Weekly Waffle #397 – Blood Bowl’s Unsung Heroes
Weekly Waffle #397 – Blood Bowl’s Unsung Heroes 18th October 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I am absolutely going to blame Pete for the change in direction. He was the one who put the seed of a new project in my head. And having no will power to resist I crumbled and through myself whole heartedly into something new. Although I could possibly say that because it’s still on the sporting side of things i’t not a complete change in direction. But even I have to say that is one of the weakest excuses I have ever tried to sell to you guys. I just can’t resist something new…
Weekly Waffle #382 – Back to Bases
Weekly Waffle #382 – Back to Bases 14th June 2025 For this week’s Weekly Waffle, I have gone back to bases because I have a few vehicles that have been finished for quite some time but that have never been based. Mainly because the style of base I wanted to do was very time consuming and I just didn’t have the time or to be honest the inclination to build them. But because I’ve been juggling my hobby time lately, I thought that changing up the style of the base would allow me to actually crack on and get them built. So what hobby time I have had this week…

Weekly Waffle #370 – Exo armour
Weekly Waffle #370 – Exo armour 15th March 2025 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I thought I would give you a bit of an update on my trip to the Big Smoke last week and then get onto the hobby update. We had a really nice weekend with lots of sightseeing and some really good food. All in all a very nice weekend. Spent the first evening at Covent Garden where we had a really nice meal and a few drinks. Saturday was a walk along the Thames followed by an afternoon at the British Museum. Then in the evening we went up the Shard to get some fantastic night…
Weekly Waffle #369 – A Full Hearth
Weekly Waffle #369 – A Full Hearth 1st March 2025 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I have once again been juggling hobby time with travel for work. I have come to the conclusion that if I had some sort of steady rig, like a camera man, then I would be able to get so much more hobby done each week. But trying to paint whilst on a train, especially a train in the north of England, just isn’t a viable option. It’s good to get some reading in or catch up on a pod cast or two but hobby time is a no. Having said that it does give me…
Weekly Waffle #368 – Half the Hearth
Weekly Waffle #368 – Half the Hearth 22nd February 2025 Demi Squad For this week’s Weekly Waffle I have stayed with the Leagues of Votann but moved away from command units. This week I’m bringing you the core of any force, the line troops. In the case of the Leagues these are the Hearthkyn Warriors. And in keeping with these hardy, if somewhat short of stature, warriors I’ve only managed to finish half of the squad. But such is there prowess in combat I’m sure they will serve the Leagues well, at least until next week when I hope to have the rest of the unit finished. I didn’t want…
