Yearly Review 2025

 I didn't do this last year as I was stuck in the paralysis of waiting for the assault terminators to drop.

The Satanine Terminators are kind of what got me going again and I do have the Terminators box, just wrapped up and waiting for Christmas, as I've waited most of this edition already. 

Goals for 2026.

I've started writing this post on December the 8th as I woke up early. 

The fracking Assault Terminators, I'll do the Wolf Pack Terminators at the same time. 

The Wolves Of Khorne, okay edit here it's now Björn The Betrayer's Khorne Wolf Pack, is the first big project, most of this is already waiting to go in a box downstairs, I bought the current Defiler and now I'm  just waiting for the rumoured new one. The only other buying is the Hatchette Combat patrol issues with the Khorne Berzerkers, which should be after the Genestealer Cult as the magos landed at the weekend. 

The forever delayed Guard army now has a plan, and start with a core of the Guard Combat patrol, the Dorn and Leman Russ are going to look great together. The Genestealer Cult patrol might just get painted in a similar colour scheme, something to do with the Necromunda 8th regiment The Spiders, so I've got 2 more armies, I'm thinking greys so I can get that Leman Russ tank into an army at last. 

There's a Deff Dread and 3 Kill Kans that I'm planning on painting for the Bad Moonz, if the 11th Ed box set is Orks as rumored I might just do them as Bad Moonz to. 

11th edition box set, the Astartes for the Lion's Blades, trade the Orks is plan A or maybe keep them and do a Bad Moonz army... Then wait for the Codeices to update. 

Objectives over 4 quarters ish. 

Up to Easter 

Dark Angels Assault Terminators which completes the Terminator collection until the next gen Cattaphrattii and Tartarus are released. 

Oh yeah, Warhammer World need to get that army ready for March, which is basically list as everything is painted. 

Björn The Betrayer's Khorne Wolf Pack, starting with the 8 Terminators I now have for them, the Wolf pack is what I'll be adding to the Wigan Stores army builder project. 

There's a Björn the Fell handed Redemptor dread, so with the Helbrute and Defiler and 2 Blood Angels Contemptor dreads built, I might make a Dread Filled Month there. 

Easter to Summer

Finish the Wolf Pack and Start The Spiders of Necromunda Guard army, the tank section is already growing after a bath this morning, plan A is to try and find another Riza turret for a Russ tank, as I'm on a bus right now and after I'm finished updating this I'll be checking the GW site to see if there is a plastic Malcador and have tank squadron 1 with the Riza turret Russ and 2 support tanks, the Malcador with 2 Russ support tanks. The second Riza turret will give me the option of running the Malcador and 2 Riza turret Russ tanks and support tanks, the Dorn tank I'm not sure I think I need the Codex to work out a plan for them. Oh yes and the Genestealer Cult. Now I need to find the old Spiders colours. 

Summer to Autumn 

11th edition box set, Deff Dread & Kill Kans, Astartes will be going into the Lion's Blades, if the Valrak rumors of fast attack focused are true I'll need to check my 2nd company box and see what's what, obviously any plans this far out are subject to change 

Maybe a themed armies on parade board 

Winter 

Too far out to plan, there's most of the Eldar combat patrol and a Votan combat patrol in my living room still, but that's a long way off for now. 

Review Time. 

Some Time in April To May The 12th

I finally worked my mind out of the waiting for the assault terminators to drop pause and cracked on with the Inner Circle Companions, this squad pivoted a bit as the company champion got added, as did the Corswain mini I have. 

I was surprised to find a Deathwing Expansion Librarian on ebay cheap so I bought that and painted along with the combat patrol Librarian. 

The Space Hulk 1st edition Terminators got painted, as I only had 4 I added a spare Tartarus pattern terminator to the squad. 

The Captain from the Combat patrol got a demotion and added to a squad of Deathwing Knights I was working on and The Warrior Prime on the same sprue was painted grey scale to use as an adverery mini in photos. I did some nice wet blending on the wings, just a shame I hate the stance

May The 12th To June The 12th 

After nearly a year waiting I finally finished off the Cenobites, upgrading them to a Deathwing Knights squad by giving them shields, the character minis, the combat patrol captain, an old metal captain and the last of my spare Tartarus marines goy upgraded to the second squad of Deathwing Knights. 

The Prime Warrior was finished as were the Inner Circle Companions 

June The 12th To July The 12th

That was pretty much all of it, I was in work that much. 

July The 12th To August The 12th 

Apart from getting the Satanine box, I mucked around with this guy. 

August The 12th To September The 12th 

The Dark Angels Praetor came back in stock so I grabbed that to finish off my Inner Circle Companions squad of 6. 

Then it was just Björn the fell handed month. The Original Chaos dreadnought version that I've been tinkering with since about 2014 was amazingly finished bar the base, as was the Juggernaut rider, I used another of the new on sprue minis to get the rider painted. Again bar the base this was done 

September The 12th To October The 12th 

I still struggle to believe I actually finished the original chaos dreadnought Björn the fell handed.

I'd bought the space wolf terminators ages ago when they were released and kind just hung on to them with the plan to do all 5 in the pre Heresy Thousand Sons colours as a practice for the Preator in Satanine armour, as the idea hit to do the Khorne army I decided to keep 3 back and add those to the chaos terminator squad I got in combat patrol to make Khornes sacred number of 8 Terminators. 

And of course the World Eaters Mk4 dreadnought, my favourite type of dread.

Then I knocked off 4 more Björn The Fell Handeds. 

October The 12th To November The 12tas a h

I really felt like I didn't get anything done in this month. 

It was more of a starting point than a finished mini month or so it felt. 

I did get 2 of the Satanine Terminators done, one with Lightning Claws and a fist and storm bolter version, and the size comparison showing how small the old guy is compared to the new mini. 

Lord Flash Hart had been around for about a year untouched and only needed painting. 

I got a couple of squad leaders ready to go for the Björn The Betrayer's war band. 

The last thing I started was the big Satanine dread. 

November The 12th To Late December 

A Dread Filled Month. Much fewer than I've managed in the past, but they are all big guys.

In a it's a not too cold and isn't raining move, I got a load of sprues primed black after I've decided to finish for the month. 

The Defiler and Helbrute are in the same box, with the Preator in the same bag, while the Deff Dread and kill kans are in the Primium kit box. Everything is set ish. Now to wait for boxing day and unwrapping presents with my kids.
