2025 Year in Review



Art vs. Artist 2025


Happy New Year! Yes, another year comes to a close. This year in my life wasn't as crappy as the last year. My health has been relatively stable and I have been much busier as a result. 

As far as this hobby is concerned, I have managed to complete a lot of units for The Old World armies I have. This is mostly thanks to my growing comfort, confidence and competence with using Contrast Paints,  which I think have radically sped up my ability to complete units. The Old World has dominated my hobby focus this year. I attribute this mostly due to some of my favorite 40k  players moving out of the area last year.  As a result I only finished only one 40k model this year and probably wouldn't have done that if it wasn't for Dreadtober  pushing me to do so. I have decided to change that this year and try to get some more Tyranids and Ultramarines painted in 2026. Saying that,  I'm still feeling very passionate about TOW and will continue to complete models for that game as well.  

Anyway, here are the models I finished in 2025 with links in the titles. There are definitely a lot more models that I have worked on but didn't finish, which,  hopefully, will be completed in the New Year. 


Wailing Banshee. 


























And that concludes the year. I don't think I have missed anything... but if I have they were likely "Battle Ready" units which I don't count as finished. There are definitely a lot of units nearing completion which I hope to finish soon.  I feel like this upcoming year will be one of change. Lots of change...

 See you in the New Year!!!
