Painting during 2025 - Going for the 500?

What a painting year!

This year has seen me painting couple of whole new armies: Brotherhood without Banners and House Greyjoy for ASOIAF, as well as many historical miniatures for Napoleonic, WW2 and Age of Chivalry, for example. As I'm writing this I have finished 404 new miniatures and finished 44 miniatures I have started painting earlier (before 2025). As I have quite few more started miniatures, I was thinking to reach 500, but as we decided to go for a last minute holiday for the rest of the year, it's not likely to happen. Oh well, more miniatures to complete 2026.

Napoleonic

Napoleonic gaming returned to my gaming agenda as we played a Pyrenees campaign in 28mm using the Rebels & Patriots -rules from Osprey Wargaming. 15mm gaming is also picking up at the club, but I really prefer painting 28mm...

Kitbashed Spanish Guerilla cavalry... I got them ready

Kitbashed Mameluk -cavalry for the French

Mixed ASOIAF

Painted a whole House Greyjoy army during the fall.

It was a great project with quite a bit of experimenting with resin water effects and other modelling stuff. My hard work was rewarded as my army was awarded the Best Army prize in the Realms of Battle (160+ players) in Warzaw!

Sci-fi

Played a couple of games of the new 40K edition, but it's just not good.

As I have plenty of minis I was pleased to start playing One Page Rules at the end of the year.

Looking forward to play more and to paint some more Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle.

As a Star Wars Shatterpoint gaming day was organized, I couldn't resist painting some of these cool models to play Rebels (I strongly refuse to mix in Star Wars!)

Some reinforcements to Marvel Crisis Protocol, even if not too many games was played.
