Oldhammer - the Concept?

[Zhu Bajie]

Let's face it, Zhu had to make up a new term because "Oldhammer" was stolen from him by popular fiat. Alright lads, let's all say what Archaeohammer means for us! For me it means the Pokémon trading card game (hell, it even sounds like a Pokémon!).

You say "popular fiat" I say "heretical traitors leading mankind into the eternal darknsss of chaos! Repent! Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave!" lol!

To be honest "archeo-gaming" comes from retro-computer gaming scene that involves playing old games with the original old equipment (rather than emulating on a PC), in the Tabletop scene that means using the available figures with the rules of the era, and at it's most hardcore even donning the fashions of the era and eating Monster Munch. Oldhammer includes Archeohammer, but itsn't it exclusively.

Assless, dig the charts, - now if we can only program those numbers into a device like this:

We can scientifically deduce the amount of oldhammer in any given artefact.

I tried a full-on Oldhammer game once - for those who have not seen it, then it's reported in my First Edition Warhammer Reenactment game thread (viewtopic.php?f=15&t=169). It was fun, and the 3 friends I roped into it enjoyed it. All the figures (Citadel, Historical, Prince August Moulds) were historically accurate for 1984 (except for some bases and some extra bitz on conversions).

So I have 'done it'.

PS: My sober self finds my drunk self mildly amusing, nothing more.

This thread is so great I don't even know where to start from

I must come to the defence of RT-ers (oh, we need a better term for that)! And even maybe those playing 40K2nd

Oh, come on! There are also goats in 40K!

sure but I see LEDs on the side and that doesn't scream "old" to me, I'd rather rely on a real power source like steam you know?
