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…
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 #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 #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 #349 – Jackanory
Weekly Waffle #349 – Jackanory 5th October 2024 This has been something of a weird week for me on the hobby front. Which is where the title for the blog has come from. Work has continued to be really busy so I set out to make the most of what little hobby time I had. I came out of the blocks flying with the mojo levels running in full and everything I was trying on the painting front seemed to be working. This made me a bit greedy and I had a couple of projects on the go at the same time. All was going well until all of sudden…
Weekly Waffle #348 – Return from the eternal city.
Weekly Waffle #348 – Return from the eternal city. 28th September 2024 For this week’s weekly waffle I thought I would start with an update on where I have been for the last few weeks. This was a planned break for what I consider to be a holiday of a lifetime. Not because of some exotic location or extravagant expense. No this was a holiday of a lifetime because it also goes by the name of a ‘honeymoon’. That’s right folks I’ve gone and got married. (Picture here) I’d said a few weeks ago that hobby time was limited due to work and personal commitments and this was the personal…
Weekly Waffle #347 – Little Flash Dance
Weekly Waffle #347 – Little Flash Dance 31st August 2024 For this week’s weekly waffle I have tried to get some of the admin side of the post done early and I’ve made better use of my commute so that I wasn’t at the last minute this morning. I’d like to think that I’ve done a reasonable job with no last minute updates or changes needed. So time management one oh one for this week got off to a good start. I’ve also spent some time on the commute reading and looking at the pictures of an AK interactive weathering book. I’m conscious that my attempts at weathering at the…
Weekly Waffle #346 – Hammer Time
Weekly Waffle #346 – Hammer Time 24th August 2024 This week’s weekly waffle has seen me complete my first full commuting week in a long time. Back before the days of hybrid working I would typically do a few days each week in the city. With rest of week being in my local office. Going into the city every day so far hasn’t been as bad as I first thought. Thankfully it’s still light in the morning when I have to get up which helps. And being on the early train means it’s not as busy as the later ‘commuter’ one. So I get a bit of space to sit…
Weekly Waffle #345 – Dredsmasha Helper
Weekly Waffle #345 – Dredsmasha Helper 17th August 2024 This week’s weekly waffle is all about the impact of having to commute into work every day has on my hobby time. It’s going to be a bit of moan but I’m also hoping there is some positivity in there. For the last few years I’ve been lucky enough to do what refer to as hybrid working. So I’m in the office a few days a week and at home for the rest of the week. Those days in the office tend not to be at my local office, which is about fifteen minutes from home. So there is quite a…
Weekly Waffle #344 – That’s a Rapt
Weekly Waffle #344 – That’s a Rapt 10th August 2024 This is my last weekly waffle before the carnage that is work really kicks in. I talked about it last week but from Monday I will be back in the office every day so hour or so I used to have in the evenings will be eaten up with the commute. I’ve also got quite a lot going on in my personal life at the moment so so finding that hobby time somewhere else is going to be a challenge. But I do want to stress that this isn’t me falling out of love with all things hobby. Or black…
