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.

So I thought it would be cool to share where we all get our podcast fix.

I'm always looking for more stuff for my ears to listen to whilst my hands are busy. So thought I would see what you all enjoyed.

My current favourite is the 'The Bedroom Battlefields Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast' , I know not the most catchy title, but it's nice and relaxed and doesn't take itself too seriously. Plus their latest episode has an interview Gav Thorpe, so that is well worth a listen.

Let us know your picks.

Congratulations, you have found yourself on the corner of lemmy where we share our fondness for little lead men (and women, and orcs, and elves, and… ...well you get the idea).

So share your stuff and let folks know how great theirs are.

1 Month Update

So here we are, 2 months ago I was happy lurking around on… …somewhere else that we won’t mention, and now I’m moderating this dusty corner of the fediverse and thoroughly enjoying it.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who has posted, commented, upvoted and even downvoted, without your interaction this would just be me screaming in to the void.

It has been great to see people enjoying this community. As I have browsed lemmy I have seen countless niche communities that are have two or three posts from weeks ago or just one person posting with no other interaction, so seeing this community (a niche within a niche) thriving has been beautiful to watch.

Here are some of my favourite posts from the first month

If anyone has any posts they enjoyed why not share them below.

Thanks again to you all (including the lurkers, we all know you’re there). u/fearofthedark

Hero with Greatsword from the Warhammer Fantasy Empire, got it in 1998. Repainted it including a glorious goblin green base.

Having thought I would be chasing this forever due to the fact I didn't want to pay £50-100 for one I managed to grab this for a tenner.

Even better, when it arrived it appears to be in near mint condition. Oh happy days!

I'm not 100% sure, but looking at the art style I reckon this wonderful piece is by Russ Nicholson.

Some awesome looking squat art from the Rogue Trader rulebook, by Pete Knifton

I love how 3D printing has let me bring some classic bit of scenery back to life.

I printed this off on an Ender 3 with no supports. If anyone has a 3D printer and wants on for themselves it's available over on Cults 3D https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/3d-models

I always wanted one of these, but the prices these days are beyond ridiculous. So when I got the chance to buy this (nearly complete) one for 50 euros I did not hesitate. Can't wait to do some fabrication and bring this pile of scrap back to it's former glory.

Another piece of art from the Rogue Trader rulebook, I think he might be in need of an apothecary.

This awesome diorama was entered into Golden Demon back in the late 80's and feature in one of the Fantasy Miniatures books published by Games Workshop.

I did a little bit of sculpting on a 3D print of the old Warhammer Quest wizard, I'm planning on using him as a 40k imperial psyker

And if anyone is interested there was a rather long chat with Adi over on the Crown of Command youtube channel recently.
