Well met! This is the hobby goblin writing.
I thought I’d start this hobby blog off with something simple: my hobby hopes for 2025.
Since learning about Warmaster Revolution in mid-2023 it has been my main hobby and gaming focus. I think it is an excellent game and am very fortunate that a group of enthusiastic players has sprung up in my local community.
The Dwarf army
For my first Warmaster army, the choice fell on the Dwarfs as Forest Dragon’s wonderful Dwarf range was being released at the time. I’m building it together with a friend so that we both get to enjoy playing with a fully painted army sooner.
This is how it looks today:
This army is a “gathering of the clans” (to explain the different color schemes 😇). The Dwarfs are a dwindling race and the clans must come together to battle their enemies.
The army is currently at 1660 points and my first hobby hope for this year is that we bring it up to 2000 points and add basing to all units to look better.
The Lizardmen army
My second (and fully my own) army is one of desert-themed Lizardmen. I find that at the 10mm scale, lighter and more colorful units look better on the gaming table, so I wanted an army for which vibrant colors would be fitting. The choice was obvious.
This is how it looks today:
When watching Iain Standing’s Faction Focus: Lizardmen video, I picked up on him mentioning “lost tribes of Lizardmen in the Southlands”, which sounded intriguing. I’ve tried to match the basing to a gaming mat that I have, which will be their home arena:
The army is currently at 350 points and my second hobby hope for this year is to bring it up to 2000 points as well.
The wider community
My third hobby hope for this year is to attend a Warmaster tournament or other event in Sweden (where I’m based) or abroad to meet Warmaster players from other communities and have some fun friendly games.
It will be interesting to follow up on how these things panned out when 2025 draws to a close!
That’s all for this time. Take care and happy hobbying! 🎨
