what is

I recently started viewing Oldhammer 40k more as the version of Rogue Trader that flopped. Like AFAIK the term Oldhammer comes from Zhu and his The Oldhammer Contract and it's pretty much inspired by D&D OSR which was pretty much contemporary to it. It's not just about old miniatures but about...

OK, I'm asking the question and I'm fairly sure there will be a howl of protest because some folks will be disconcerted that the question has been asked; but sometimes a question has to be asked:- Is Oldhammer dying? I'm not asking because of any animosity towards the Oldhammer ethos or any of...

Hello! I'm new and I was wondering what is considered "Oldhammer", what is the cut-off point? Especially with 40k. Is it before 2nd edition?

Morg the Conqueror demands more adoration heaped before the throne of 90's Warhammer Fantasy Battle! Well that's not exactly right... 3e is the Heavy Metal edition... Maybe 4/5e is hair bands and glam rock? We got all the bright colours and big, sharp-toothed grins! This came up over on...

Bell of Lost Souls really has no clue... if you haven't seen the article you should read it for a laugh.

I've been thinking of the different eras of Warhammer... Urhammer (1e), Oldhammer (2e and 3e), Herohammer (4e and 5e) and Newhammer (everything else). I noticed that people rarely bring up Herohammer. The same can be said for 1e, but 4th/5th in the 1990's was a breakout period for Warhammer and...

I was just looking at our list of forum members and it seems that we are now sitting at 985 Oldhammerers! So this means that we now have nearly enough members to form our own Space Marine Chapter (The Old-tra-Marines maybe or the Sala-Hammer-Manders). I would say having a millenial of members...

So a few of you may know I've been collecting the complete set of Warhammer rules and supplements (1st through 8th) with a view to rebinding all of them together as a matching set. Not far to go now, and the question is... what to call each volume? 3rd to me will always be Oldhammer and 4th...

Maybe this is a common discussion, if so, I apologize for dredging it up. I've noticed a few things from hanging out in this community though. For some people, it seems to be all about the mini's first (collecting, painting etc) and less about the rules/gaming. We'll call this guy the...

Ok perhaps this is repetitive of other threads and if so sorry about that ... In short. I'm not a newcomer to GW, but I am to Oldhammer. I entered the hobby early 3rd ed. 40K/6th ed. WHFB era. I have really no knowledge of 1st-3rd ed. Warhammer and I am looking for some guidance on which...
