2025 was a busy year! In fact, it might be one of the busiest hobby years of my life. Here are the stats…

Games played

I started out the year posting pictures of games, but as you will see, that didn’t really scale. So if you want to see those, follow me on Bluesky.

Legions Imperialis: 20

This includes the 5 games I played during A Sector Ablaze at Warhammer World. That averages to more than one game every three weeks!

BattleTech (including Alpha Strike): 11

This included the 3-game Chaos Campaign which was spread out over about 6 or 7 sessions, and my first games of Alpha Strike.

Other games

  • Space Hulk (3 games): SH is the perfect casual game for when I don’t have the time to prepare for a more involved game.
  • X-Wing (1 game): another perfectly-formed casual game. We have stuck to the First Edition of the rules which work fine, it’s just a shame that it’s now quite hard to get hold of the models. 3D Printer goes brrr…

Total games played: 36

I would say that’s a pretty decent number!

Miniatures painted

I didn’t manage to finish as many minis I did in 2024, but I still a got decent amount done, including:

Total minis finished: 84

My plans for 2026

  • Trying out Voidfighter, which was a Christmas gift;
  • Expanding the Dark Mechanicum (which unfortunately means building more super-fiddly battle automata);
  • Building a new Iron Warriors force, based around Saturnine terminators and dreadnoughts, for Legions Imperialis;
  • Building a new mercenary force for BattleTech, and playing some more Alpha Strike as well as CBT;
  • Running Legions events at local wargaming shows.

Onwards and upwards!
