It's 2025! Happy New Year to everyone on /r/Warhammer40k!

But of course, now is also the time to look back, and boy 2024 sure was a bumper year for /r/Warhammer40k and the Warhammer hobby!

Here on Reddit /r/Warhammer40k hit 1 million subscribers, and has stormed past it, ending 2024 at over 1.1 million. Thank you to all of you who have helped build this into one of the best communities for 40k anywhere on the internet!

And of course, in the wider hobby, we've seen the release of Space Marine 2, finally gracing 40k with a AAA masterpiece of a game, Secret Level, and full confirmation that GW and Amazon will be producing TV shows and movies. And of course, a whole host of incredible miniatures (and some not so incredible ones, looking at you Coteaz...).

2025 is sure to bring more excitement, with Emperor's Children, Death Korps of Krieg and plastic Aeldari Aspect Warriors all on the cards!

Here's to a fantastic 2025, thank you all once again! May you always roll 6s, and may your pile of shame be slightly less grey!

Happy New Year!
