Day of IKEA upgrading
The den has been in need of some upgrades when it comes to storage as I'm running out of space. My shelving units are old and flimsy and my desk weighs a ton. I gave scenery pieces too big for storage boxes 
I had an IKEA order of the tried and tested kalax system. This includes a desk. Most of my books are in the house but most are stashed here. New desk is a blends in with the rest of the system 
Opposite i have more room now for boxed games and I like that I gave toom on top for more spacious scenery pieces like my red rocket service starion
On the otherside of my fold out gaming table is an old dresser which I was too sentimental go throw out just yet so is a bit dwarfed by what's sitting on top 
Partizan Loot
I didn't make it to salute this year so I made the most of the more local partizan show. I got a nice mix of Loot ho work on. The tables at the show were very impressive. I liked the table with the realistically sized trees and the lucknow table. You don't often get colonial era city fights
I also got those bad boy. Big jobsHammerhead
My purchases from the hammerhead show today. I wanted to carry on with my empire of the dead and napoleonic projects and 1918 as I only have three other ww1 games so I need another 
I also picked up these two trouble makers from crooked dice and got them painted this afternoon. I'm thinking Eddie and Richie vs the apocalypse 
My favourite game was the Alamo made of legs style bricks
Last minis of the year
I got the trench crusade prussian strosstruppen warband for Christmas and spent the last couple of days painting them up. I'm not planning on putting together a trench crusade project just yet so I thought I'd post them here. I have to say I really enjoyed painting these guys up the minis are great. 
2025 part two
I've been creating a fallout vault one room at a time. This next year I'll be doing some residential areas of the vault 
Everytime I go to a wargaming event I visit the westwind stand and pick up some empire of the dead minis. To go with them I got 3d printing a table for some steampunk games. Still need to work on the docks and a sewer system 
Another golden button was for my Turnip28 conversions which is a fun break from more rigid painting. Still need to play the game
One game I did play was some solo missions of Bughunt from 5 parsecs from home. This used my aliens collection and I think I got a golden button for this. Fun holiday faming that I'll be doing more of.
Next year I'll be doing a large blackpowder game of the American revolution. I'm still working on this collection 
Halloween game night of Don't look back
Yavin4 terrain fest table. Last golden button of the year.
For a game of fallout wasteland warfare I 3d printed the red rocket which was a bit of a task and turned out bigger than I expected 2025 part one
Looking back on my hobby achievements this year started with finishing my Martian empires collection after the range came to an end. I didn't manage to get everything for the armies but plenty for some games of victorian science fiction.
On a similar small scale I started 3d printing some 6m starwars. I started with scariff but I have done some mimban mud troopers at this scale I'm yet to add to the project.
Once a month we have a game night at work and in the summer I reworked my Nottingham cheese riot game. Set in 1766 we had gangs of women throwing rocks and stealing cheese. The game winners was the gang with the most cheese Loot.
All year I've been working on napoleonic armies for shakos and bayonets. I put together both a Russian and Spanish skirmish forces. I need to add more cavalry to both these armies and the French and British I already have so more to come
Another game night was a pirate adventure using the legends of the high seas warhammer rules. I won a golden button for this set up. This collection is still at work waiting for a second game.
I also got some games of eagles of empire in this year for the Franco-prussian war. Had fun with thus game. It's very different and I would like to do more.Partizan Loot
I had no purchasing list for the partizan wargames show but I came away with a lot of napoleonic themed minis with a bit of steampunk 
Salute Loot 2025
Salute this year felt far busier than in recent times and I enjoyed shuffling from table to table. I purchased enough to keep me going. I got more books than I was planning. I want to try out an alien themed parsecs game. Like everyone else in the room I wanted guards of traitors toll but I'm still interested in adapting it for something historical to go with my museum work. Eagles of empire have some Bavarian reinforcements thanks to the perry's and because I got three boxes I got a free Spanish officer for the the new Spain kits. 
A few minis to bolster my empire of the dead and a lady who fans of Sharpe might recognise to go with my new Spanish.
I was impressed by the beowulf 3d printed scenery and got these for my judge dredd table. It was a lot to carry home and should keep me busy for at least a week
