    Weekly Waffle #427 – The Silent Storm: How to Build Asterix the Dual-Axe Barbarian

    4th July 2026 The Mojo For this week’s weekly waffle I have been at a conference for work so my hobby time has been very restricted. But I have done my best to make sure I have something for you. Now I’m not a football fan but it was quite a tense fare being in a pub full of fans watching England torture them with their performance. The one thing bout about being away has been that I have had some time on the train to write the update for you. And it’s turned into something of a bumper edition. Which I’m hoping may give me some credit because the…

  • Tabletop miniature of a pirate-like fighter in a blue coat, pink scarf, and white pants, posed with a curved blade, standing on a cobblestone base against a dark background

    Weekly Waffle #426 – The Ottoman Pirate – Cold Steel and Boarding Actions on the Canals

    27th June 2026 The Mojo Welcome back to the Weekly Waffle where I attempt to regale you all with fantastic hobby exploits from the week. Which really amounts to me trying to sump up my week and show you what I’ve been working on. And this week feels very much like ground hog week. I really don’t know whew the year has gone and we are nearly half way through. It seems be eat, sleep, work repeat, with a little bit of hobby and socialising. But it could always be worse so I’m not to dwell it too much. And before I get too morbid, because that’s not how I’m…

  • Colorful miniature pirate figure standing on a cobblestone base against a black background.

    Weekly Waffle #425 – The Noble Admiral, Command, Conquest, and Cruelty on the Venetian Waves

    20th June 2026 The Mojo Well on this weeks’s weekly waffle it’s been a real mixed bag. Busy as usual but I have managed to get in some quality Hobby time. No real disasters which is a good thing but it’s not all been plain sailing. The mojo has been there but the talent, not that there is much to start with, has been a bit lacking. But I’m making progress on the projects I have planned in and I’m coming up with new ideas all the time. I just don’t know where I’m going to find the time to bring them all to fruition. But it’s god to have…

  • Miniature dwarf warrior in red armor wielding a double-headed axe on a rocky grassy base, black background.

    Weekly Waffle #424 – The Quilted Vanguard – Redefining the Dwarven Front Line

    13th June 2026 The Mojo I’ve had a good hobby week this week the painting gods mostly shining on me. Work remains carnage but my hobby time remains a welcome break and I’m hoping that this week’s weekly waffle isn’t the publishing train wreck that last weeks was. Everything seemed to go wrong last week so I have been been keeping an extra close eye on things this week . I’ve also booked a holiday for July so that is something to look forward to. But all in all it’s been a good week and I hope you enjoy the weekly waffle as much as I’ve enjoyed the week. On…

  • Miniature fantasy orc warrior Grim Ironjaw with tall orange hair plume, outstretched arms, detailed armor, standing on rocky base labeled Grimg Ironjaw (sic).

    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…

  • Miniature fantasy warrior figure, colorful armor, standing on rocky base with a banner reading Barik Farblast

    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…

  • Front view of a painted Death Roller miniature war machine with teal cockpit, armored wheels, and goblin crew on a round base.

    Weekly Waffle #420 – The Ultimate Engine of Destruction

    16th May 2026 The Mojo I’ve had a very interesting week this week and not all of it has been good. The week started with me getting an e-mail saying the site had a fatal error and could not be accessed. Nothing like an IT message to make something seem like the end of the world. But sure enough the site was offline so it was on to the hosting provider to see wha they could do to help. It turns out that I had a plugin on the site that was pre packaged with something else so I had never really paid attention to it. Anyway this plugin had…

  • Two colorful fantasy dwarf miniatures on grassy bases, facing opposite directions, with name banners reading 'Della Ironfoot' and 'Murdock Mud­singer' (or similar).

    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…

  • Two painted dwarf miniatures on grassy bases, name plaques read 'Barundin Bitterbeam' and 'Hargin Hardstare'.

    Weekly Waffle #417 – Blood Bowl’s Mohawked Missile of Mayhem

    25th April 2026 The Mojo I’ve had another good week on the hobby front. Progress has been slow but steady and I’ve really enjoyed my hobby time. On a none hobby front I’m love bike racing, the pedal powered version. And this week they announced the Tour De France Feemi will be coming to the UK for a stage between Manchester and Sheffield. Both are cities I work in on a regular basis and the announcement was done right opposite our Manchester office. Which as something is a surprise. But a very nice one. On The Work Bench I’ve been cracking on with my blood bowl dwarves this week and…

    Weekly Waffle #415 – Hopefully not the Emperors new clothes.

    Weekly Waffle #415 – Hopefully not the Emperors new cloths. 11th April 2026 Good morning and welcome to the new look Weekly Waffle. I don’t have much of a hobby update for you this week, although I have got some painting time in. Instead this week the update is going to be all about the new look for the site. Something I’ve spent far too much time working on. But to be fair most of that time has been spent getting things wrong and having to correct them. For anyone who actually knows what they are doing there has probably only been a mornings worth of work. But I’m not…
