Another year of painting is coming to the end, which means another yearbook and a look back at what I’ve painted this year.
While I still focus on painting what I need for our Dungeons & Dragons games, this year has been a year of retro Warhammer miniatures.
I’ve increased the size of my Bad Moon Ork army, I have painted 2,000+ points of Space wolves, 1,000 points of Khorne-led Chaos Marines and 1,000 of the amazing Rogue Trader Squats that my wife gave me. And I’ve even had a chance to play a few Warhammer 40.000 2nd edition battles.
This year we also received the long awaited “Gambler’s Chest” expansion for Kingdom Death: Monster and I managed to paint two large monsters from that box: The Crimson Crocodile and Atnas the Child Eater.
But if I have to pick a favourite mini of the year it will have to be this retro kit bashed Cyboar-pulled Chariot that I made just for fun out of some retro Orks I had laying around.
The runner-up is this speed painted Gold Dragon as I’ve never painted a metallic dragon before.
And below are the rest of the minis i’ve painted in 2024.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Gaming in 2025.
