Weekly Waffle #367 – Champion
Weekly Waffle #367 – Champion 15th February 2025 In this week’s Weekly Waffle I have continued to work on my Leagues of Votann characters. This time going with the Einhyr Champion. I’ve kept the formula the same by starting with the airbrush and then switching to the brush. The big difference, or at least it felt like a big difference when I was painting it, was the overwhelming amount of orange. On the Kahl and the Prospectors the orange armour parts were offset by the dark grey clothing. But this guy is nearly all armour so you don’t get that relief. I do think the base helps to offset things…
Weekly Waffle #366 – The Bald One
Weekly Waffle #366 – The Bald One 8th February 2025 This week’s Weekly Waffle see’s us staying with the Squats but this time we have moved away from Necromunda. I’ve kept the same colour scheme but have had to change the colour placement a little. But I think it still works well. The reason for the change is because I haven’t decided if I want the troops to have helmets or bare heads. And seeing as how the Kahl only comes with a bare head I had to do something that brought the blue into the top of the mini. Which I think this does nicely. It’s not quite the…
Weekly Waffle #365 – The gang is al together
Weekly Waffle #365 – The gang is al together 1st February 2025 For the Weekly Waffle this week I have switched from Infinity back to 40k. Or more accurately in this case Necromunda, with the last of my Iron Head Squat Prospectors squad. I’ve really enjoyed painting these guys and will be looking to expand the gang in the not too distant future. There are some really nice Forgeworld, or at least what used to be Forgeworld, as I’m not sure it even exists any more. Anyway there are a few different characters that would fit in nicely with these guys. I may even look at another box to expand…
Weekly Waffle #364 – Looking Invincible
Weekly Waffle #364 – Looking Invincible 25th January 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have jumped back on the Infinity band wagon. I have lost a bit of my mojo in this space because I’m still dealing with the lost minis I was telling you about before Christmas. Royal Mail have admitted to me they have delivered them to the wrong address but I’m now caught between a rock and hard place with the shop because Royal Mail are telling them they have delivered them. That means I’m currently out of pocket and have no minis. Well no minis isn’t quite right but the irony is that minis that…
Weekly Waffle #363 – Little Prospect
Weekly Waffle #363 – Little Prospect 18th January 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have decided to stay in the vertically challenged world of the Squats. Or at least I have in terms of content I can share with you. To keep the mojo flowing I have also done some work on my next batch of Infinity minis, all three of them. But that has been more about cleaning them up and getting them primed. The jobs that always seem to take way longer than I anticipate. So working away on these bits whilst working on the rest of the squats is my way of trying to plan ahead.…
Weekly Waffle #362 – Vertically Challenged
Weekly Waffle #362 – Vertically Challenged 11th January 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle we are back to what I would consider to be normal. Or at least as normal as I ever get. I’ve had a nice relaxing break and then back to work and it’s straight back to the carnage. Lots on with lots more in store. But I’m setting my store out nice and early by using my lunch time to get a bit of extra hobby time in. But to be able to do this I have had to make a couple of small changes. My desk can quite often be quite unorganised so I’ve got…
Weekly Waffle #361 – Retrospective
Weekly Waffle #361 – Retrospective 4th January 2025 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I’m starting by having a bit of a look back on last year. Then I’ll lay out what I have planned for the rest of the year. I’m going to start by summing up last year as a hobby success. Now I will clarify that a little bit by saying that I’m not defining that success on quantity or quality. But rather on consistency. I managed to bring you a newly painted mini for every update. That doesn’t quite mean every week because I had a few trips where I deliberately didn’t do a post on the…
Weekly Waffle #354 – Ultimate Bad Ass Boyz
Weekly Waffle #354 – Ultimate Bad Ass Boyz 9th November 2024 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I have a few more painted minis for you but I also have a waffle about gaming options. And that is what I’m going to start with. Tuesday night is when our game club meets up and it’s fair to say some of our group have a less than healthy relationship with Kick Starter. The number of new games we have dabbled with is astronomical. But very few have ever found their way into regular game play. On Tuesday a couple of people were talking about trying to get people interested in playing something…
Weekly Waffle #353 – Bad Ass #1
Weekly Waffle #353 – Bad Ass # 2nd November 2024 The first thing that I just have to bring up on this week’s weekly waffle is how it already November. Some weeks have really dragged this year but it really doesn’t feel like ten whole months have passed. I do feel like I have done a lot this year but this is just not right. Anyway that shock to system out of the way this week really has flown by. But for all the wrong reasons from a hobby point of view. It’s getting to really crunch time at work for the project I’m working on and that has an…
Weekly Waffle #350 – Emperork
Weekly Waffle #350 – Emperork 12th October 2024 For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve worked hard to try and get over the mojo block and get something finished for you this week. In particular I have been really struggling with a large cloak. But to try and get round this I decided that I didn’t need to have it perfect, after all I’m not painting this for a competition. But I did need to get it finished so I focused on good enough as opposed to this has to be perfect. After all non of my painting is perfect so as long as I was going to be happy to…
