Weekly Waffle #378 – Regulator.
Weekly Waffle #378 – Regulator. 17th May 2025 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I have decided to switch things up a little bit and paint something a little bit different. All part of trying to keep my mojo up and improve my painting. I have had a look back at some previous projects and decided to step back into the world of Wild West Exodus. Not that I have any intention at the moment of playing any games. It’s just that they have some nice miniatures that I think will be nice to paint. So I’ve picked up the Regulator Posse which consists of seven miniatures. They can fit in…

Weekly Waffle #155
With this week’s weekly waffle we are into yet another new year and it’s that time of year when we all get carried away and come up with lots of resolutions to do wondrous things. Now I don’t know about you but I do this every year and it lasts for a for a little while and then things go back to normal, so I’m going to try and do things a bit differently this year. I’m not going to set any grand goals for this year but I am going to try and break everything I do down into little chunks and to make sure I keep things varied…
Weekly Waffle #153
Another frustrating weekly waffle. Not the best of ways to start a weekly update but I can’t think of any other way of putting it. Nothing major has gone wrong just lots of little niggling things that get in the way of doing something useful and enjoyable. I have managed to get the car fixed, or at least I think it’s fixed, so I’m mobile again. But then my being mobile clashed with Al working so no game night this week, although I will be catching up with him this weekend. All the Christmas shopping is now done and I only have a few more visits to make to drop…
Weekly Waffle #152
The plan for this weeks weekly waffle had been to get some gaming in on Tuesday night because for the first time in a long time I wasn’t away wit work. That didn’t quite pan out as my car hasn’t been used for some time and when I went to start it, it was just dead. So no gaming done and I’m going to have to figure out what’s wrong with it and try and get it fixed this weekend. For hobby this week I’ve put the grot bot build to one side and picked up a paint brush again. It’s been about six weeks since I last painted anything…
Weekly Waffle #151
I’ve been a bit more organised for this weeks weekly waffle and stolen a bit of time throughout the week to put this week’s update together. So this week’s update will be a proper waffle, and it’s quite a specific waffle. It’s loosely based around what happens to a game when someone else takes over the IP. I’m bringing this up because Warcradle studios now owns the IP for both Wild West Exodus and Dystopian wars, both games I own and really enjoy. They had already made some big changes to WWX but now that they have taken over Dystopian Wars they have announced that they are going to merge…
Confederate – Corporal Franklyn (Sidekick) – Painting Guide
Corporal Franklyn is in the concept art book so that’s what I used as reference for my paint scheme. Having already adopted the same approach for Captain Williams, my thinking being that it becomes something of a standard for anyone who is using a light support type weapon. The first step was to prime the model and I did this using Vallejo Black Surface Primer (74.602) for a first coat. I then went back over the model using Vallejo Grey Surface Primer (74.601) at about a forty five degree angle to start to build up some shadow and highlight. Clothing: Trousers were done with Vallejo Basic Grey (71.097) and then…
Weekly Waffle #86
Well, game night for this weeks weekly waffle actually turned into drink tea and talk about painting night although I have lined up a game of Wild West Exodus with Al for next week. Which will probably end in a humiliating defeat but it’s a chance to give my confederates a run out. One of the highlights of the week for me was trip down to Warhammer World with Al on Wednesday. We used to make the trip a couple of times a year when we were playing 40K but we reckon it’s been three or four years since we were last there. Al lots changed in that time. You…
Confederate – Captain Williams (Sidekick) – Painting Guide
I didn’t have any images to work with for Captain Williams as he’s not in the concept art book and I haven’t seen any painted images of him on the net. However Corporal Franklyn is in the concept art book and he has a similar type of weapon so I thought I would go with same colour scheme. My thinking being that it becomes something of a standard for anyone who is using a light support type weapon. The first step was to prime the model and I did this using Vallejo Black Surface Primer (74.602) for a first coat. I then went back over the model using Vallejo Grey…
