Old Hammer day, 07 Mar 26, Entoyment, Poole, UK.

It all looks great. I can’t help but be partial to the second edition looking 40K with the space Orks!

Yep, took me a while to locate, but I went looking last night. Journal issue #1 (1994) "unseen enemy" by Ian Pickstock.

Found it, it looks great fun, and very tense. I like the rule that if you try and flame or use a template weapon on a section you cant see and its a door or bulkhead. There is a good chance you can get backdraft and hurt yourself
 
Holy cow that's a lot of resin! And that table is lovely. Fun seeing the Exxin Castillos in yet another picture too. Makes me happy that I'm not the only person to use them as gaming terrain. :D Bravo! Looks like a fabulous day. :)
 
The Samurai were awesome. Just standing at that table was nerve tingling, everything just felt so right and well oldhammery! Chatting with Gary today (Enjoyment events manager) and they are keen to try to grow an annual Oldhammer event, broadly perhaps around end of April start of May kinda time to avoid too many clashes with the other big UK events. As Garth pointed out they have tables, toilets and a tearoom so what more do we need! :) So I guess we gather the troops and start pondering! ...
 
I think an event should be a few months apart to make it more special imo. Then people have time to get things ready and do something really impressive. Just my view.

I would wager that any oldhammerer in the vicinity at the time would choose an oldhammer event over any other wargames show.

Indeed. I think we pondered that UK Games Expo is end of May (obviously a big event for somewhere like Enjoyment), Salute is often the start of April (11th I think this year), Beachead is Feb. So the gaps looked like now-ish (March) or between Salute and the Expo.

Ahh makes more sense. I think with some better advertising and our enthusiasm we could make something great. I mean just us lot was a really fun day.

I think so. Granted we're never going to quite get the draw of peeking through cabinets of old Citadel miniatures you drooled over as a kid in White Dwarf, or parking your feet up on Bryan Ansell's coffee table, but I expect we could put on a reasonable show! :)

I think getting people involved by doing an armies on parade would be a nice way of making people feel part of the event
