For lovers of Warhammer & Games Workshop products from before the turn of the millennium.

Rules

  1. Be awesome! We are all here to share our hobby, so lets share the love.
  2. Posts should be about GW products from the last millennium, but old stuff in general and modern oldhammer style miniatures are also welcome.
  3. No Buying and selling. I’m sure folks will be happy to help you identify or even give a good indication of worth, but leave it at that.

Album. I’ve had other pewter scouts before but always with bolt pistols. These two I just got my hands on have interesting guns I can’t quite place. Possibly an experimental sculpt of plasma pistols.

Another great article from the Rambling Longbeard diving into the history of some High Elf units.

Even hand sculpted a few wee critters to liven the place up a bit.

They are made from old pizza boxes, tissue and PVA. Finished off with sand miniature railway ballast and some artists acrylics. The critters were sculpted from greenstuff.

I know this is more “middlehammer” than Oldhammer, but it’s over 20 years old and cool, so here it is.

Album link. This is a selected album of only 50 pages from the magazine, cutting out some of the battle reports and articles, but I included what would fit in one Imgur album.

I was cleaning up old bookmarks and found this turn of the century site is still up.

The audio in the second part with Alan Perry is a bit rough. But fun interviews with them about Chaos Dwarfs.

This was a precursor to Battlefleet Gothic, and a game I didn't even know about until last week.

A full review on DakkaDakka covers it well and good. A blog I also happen to follow, Leadplague cover the game.

The style of the tyranids in Space Fleet is super cool and super distinct. I've never seen their space forces depicted with mollusk like aesthetics before. The tendrils are very creepy. I'm a 3e baby, and know of 'nid fleets as more or less their current form, and only have knowledge of the 2e ground forces of 'nids.

I swear Olden Demon browses /tg/ because he just released a teaser video on his channel which shows tyranid ships represented in the distinctive mollusk style (1:10 into the video) which is as far as I know unique to Space Fleet, and the unique mollusk aesthetic was brought up on /tg/'s GROG thread last week along with Space Fleet just before the teaser dropped.

Well new in 1982 when issue 32 of White Dwarf was released. I particularly like the way they have incorporated the classic Citadel Miniatures logo into the art.

2002 is more “middlehammer” but look at that beautiful soulful banner, and the conversion of the main body.
