Weekly Waffle #254
No game night this week seeing as how Al has the lurgy and him being one of Pappa Nurgl’s special one’s no one wants to go near him. So this has given me an extra night to work on finishing off the Grot Bots before I head off across the pond next week. The main thing that I needed to get completed was to get the heads built and I was pleasantly surprised how smoothly this seemed to go. Like everything else on this project it’s been a fiddly job but as I’ve not really made any changes to the design it was just a case of cracking on with…

No game night this week so that has given me an extra few hours to really try and focus on progressing with the Grot Bots, which has become something of an all-consuming thing at the moment. Although I have also spent some time working on updating the back end of the site so in theory it should be a little bit more stable going forward. Nothing major because I don’t really know what I’m doing so just trying to do enough to keep things ticking over. Now that I’m getting down to the crunch end of the build as anything that isn’t finished next week just isn’t going to get…

No gaming for me this week as it was mum’s birthday on Tuesday which is normally game night, and we went out for a family mean instead. Which was a really nice night so not a bad thing to doing in place of a bit of gaming. That was on the back of having a very loved up weekend where I did no gaming and no hobby but did have a really nice time. Considering the bad weather, we had here in the North West of England it was actually really nice to stay indoors, with a nice drink or two and lots of box sets to watch. A good…

Grot Bot work in progress.
Weekly Waffle #248
The best laid plans of mice and men springs to mind to open this week’s waffle. My intention for the week was to make a start on the Grot Bots and also to work out if I had enough material to actually build them all and if not get it ordered. I knew I shouldn’t need anything to fancy, just plastic tubing and box section of the right size to make the job that bit easier. Well that was the plan but reality has been very different this week. I’ve had quite a bit of travel to do for work so I missed game night again this week which was…

A new War Cry crew heading to the table top.
Weekly Waffle #245
With the Christmas break behind me and my first full week back at work I’ve made a conscious effort this week to make sure I had something for an update this week. I always find it a bit funny at the start of a new year and this case the start of new decade but that I didn’t want to do was start out in a way that would burn me out. So instead I decided that I would carry on with the WarCry theme I ended the year on and start work on a Corvus Cabal crew. I had picked these up at the same time as the Cypher…

Now then it’s been a few weeks since my last update but unlike following previous gaps in service I’m not going to apologise for this one. It’s been down to the fact that I’m in new relationship and I’ve been putting my time into that and not the hobby. And that doesn’t read very well at all, but essentially I’m in a really happy place at the moment and the hobby has taken a bit of back seat whilst I got here. But now that we have got over that giddy start and things are settling down I’m starting to fit the hobby back in. It may not get back…
Weekly Waffle #238
I’ve had a bit of a break this week to try and recharge my batteries ahead of a final push to finish off the Warlord in a few weeks so it’s quite a short weekly waffle. It’s also seen something of gauntlet thrown down whilst I was out with Pete for a few beers over the weekend but I’ll get to that in a little while. First up this week I’ve got a gaming update for you. Yes, I know it’s something of rare thing for me to actually get a game in, unless it’s been a D&D session. But following the taster session we had playing Black Stone Fortress…
Weekly Waffle #237
It’s only going to be a short weekly waffle today as I’ve been mad busy at work this week. As I mentioned last week are advertising lots of jobs at work which has meant that for most of the week I’ve either been helping my team write up their applications or shortlisting other applications. Not a hard job but very time consuming and I have to say at times absolutely soul destroying. It’s become a joy now when I get a good one. Now all of this has really impacted on my hobby time and it’s also meant that I’ve not actually finished my application and the window closes tomorrow…
