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.

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.

Answers on a postcard, featured in White Dwarf 70.

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

This wasn't specifically attributed in the magazine, but looking at the style I assume it is by Russ Nicholson who sadly died earlier this year. Feel free to correct me if you know better.

John Blanche is discussing some of his most iconic artworks. Tuomas Pirinen also drops by for a short bit.

An interview with Rick Priestley about the beginnings of Warhammer Fantasy Battle and the 1st - 3rd Editions. A second part covering the 4th - 6th Edition is apparently also coming up on the channel.

It's always fun to listen to Rick Priestley. I could listen to that man all day.

A fun interview with Rick Priestley about how 40k came to be in the first place I found on YouTube. Sadly it's only about 45 minutes long.

They've also had great interviews recently with Gav Thorpe ( https://bedroombattlefields.com/hobby-qa-with-gav-thorpe/ ) and Tuomas Pirinen ( https://bedroombattlefields.com/qa-tuomas-pirinen/ ) definately worth a listen.

Nice army made of Rogue Trader era models, thought y'all might like it.

Finished my Ragnar modle today and thought I show him off. Although I got a bit rusty over the last few years painting wise and it's clearly not as good as some other things shown off here, I hope you like him still.

I tried to freehand 'Frostfang' onto his blade and I just couldn't get it done, my letters were waaaay too thick for it. Maybe I'll come back to him in some time and manage to do it then.

Thought some of you might be interested in the old Genevieve novels as e-books for cheap.
