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.

Oh I still have a shit ton in my attic along with paints that are probably bone dry by now. The issue is time. Perhaps in a decade.

If you ever do want to dip back in soon, skirmish rules (both GW and 3rd party) are popular, and you only need about 10 minis for them. Or you go weird and try something like Marvel Crisis Protocol and have a little team of superheroes to brawl with.

Yea, some day. Right now I'm deluged in projects and have to take care of the family. One day though.

It's a great time. While GW's 40k stuff obviously is the most mainstream, there's a good diversity of systems with traction and a lot of sources for miniatures. If you're willing to go third party for 40k minis they can be quite cheap, and there's more than a few Not-40k rulesets out there for free or cheap.
