Peter has led the way this year with his Hobby & Life Goals for 2025… and it is time for me to follow suit.
Review of 2024
As expected having a young daughter did impact my hobby time in 2024, but the largest impact was due to moving house… twice! So my success against last years goals is somewhat limited.
For those who need a reminder of what I planned look here; and then come back and continue reading for 2025 aims.
Successes in 2024
- Van Saar gang painted and 2 Juves added following games
- Played 6 games of Necromunda, 3 in a campaign
- Painted Soviet Infantry for Bolt Action
- Kept Reading – over 45 books read (including audio books)
- Played boardgames – played over 300 times helped by a regular get together online.
- Started a 40k diorama, and painted some test models for the Blood Angels to be on it.
So, definitely not unhappy with that and managed to do a little additional hobby on top of this. My big failure was the lack of articles on Woehammer.com, so sorry to you all for that – they take time to do when done occasionally and I never managed to get into a routine with them.
Goals for 2025
If you’ve read Peter’s article released yesterday (1st January) he has gone into great detail on his goals, but mine will be more vague to allow me more flexibility during the year.
Hobby Goals
- Sell un-needed toys. — during unpacking I made the decision that I need to free up hobby space, so started to sell some items last year.
- Paint Necromunda Cawdor Gang
- Finish Legion Imperialis box set
- Finish Age of Darkness (Horus Heresy Box Set)
- Progress on my Necromunda tiles
- Progress on my Warhammer 40k Diorama (Blood Angels v Tyranids)
- Organise my collection – Really useful boxes, magnets, and shelves
- Complete my hobby & work table in my home office
- Update Woehammer more often!
- Keep Reading
- Follow the ’30 minutes hobby a day’ aim
Boardgame Goals
- 10 x 10 challenge – play 10 games 10 times each
- Play 365 games (including wargames)
- Play 35 games I own (I have too many board games I have bought and not played)
- Write some reviews for Woehammer
Other Goals
- Get to 90kg weight goal (stretch goal 85kg) – currently 96.5kg
- Walk 3 million steps (I did just less than this in 2024)
- Repair my bicycle and get back to cycling regularly during summer

I’ll keep you informed of my progress – good luck with any of your Hobby Goals for 2025.
