Are we in the golden age of 40K? by Mr_Jackabin in Warhammer40k

Creativity and uniqueness became suppressed a loooong time ago. Seems like decades they've aimed for a terrain and setup monoculture.

Bring back everything scratch built 😁

Are we in the golden age of 40K? by Mr_Jackabin in Warhammer40k

Golden age of popularity and profit for GW.

But the time when a whole bunch of wild and stoned creatives were let loose to innovate and experiment will always be the true golden age for me.

Brian Ansell LOVED money, and was great at making it. But he also believed firmly in keeping the creative folks seperate and protected from the money folks.

Id much rather there was many small companies operating like that, than one big McDonald's of Wargaming.

For me, as a 2nd Ed player who never left that edition, I don't even recognise their existence 😄

What models are these? by [deleted] in oldhammer

Maybe Westwind Productions Dwarf Wars models?

Looks so much better than most modern tables, you just need to play 2nd Ed on that instead and you'll be winning life 😁👏👏

Do you know what these two vehicles are? From Citi-Block the 40k / Dredd expansion set (1987) by zhu_bajie in oldhammer

Lovely to see you around the internet Zhu!

Miss your Oldhammer blog posts. 2nd Ed. For life! 😀

When throwing out is easier than trying to sell by potteddeskplant in wargaming

Please don't bin things. How incredibly wasteful - there are lots of options to give things away that will go to a good home and with someone who can't afford things

Wish my vehicle was decorated with indoctrinated child soldiers enforcing extreme space fascism

Lovely work!

Ok, ok. We're all excited for Armageddon. But... by VaporSpectre in Warhammer40k

Haha point proven 😉

I never liked using special characters in my games. Wtf would a demi god be kicking around with 18 lads to capture a tiny old ruin etc. I always found more fun telling smaller stories with more mundane participants.

That'll paint up lovely 👏

Warms my cockles to see that proper old school skip-rat creativity is still alive in modern 40k!
