Rules

Be awesome! We are all here to share our hobby, so lets share the love.
Posts should be about GW products from the last millennium, but old stuff in general and modern oldhammer style miniatures are also welcome.
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.

Community Question: What is your favourite hobby podcast? (lemmy.world)

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

@davetansley@lemmy.world gave us one of the first posts on the community with some pics of his old copy of the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Rulebook, some properly oldhammer content. https://lemmy.world/post/77037
@seiryth@lemmy.world showed off his wonderful Genestealer Patriarch, a great model from Rogue Trader. https://lemmy.world/post/378419
@metaanon@lemmy.world posted some great old Space Ork Raiders with a super clean paint scheme. https://lemmy.world/post/643152
@Phantomything@lemmy.world shared their amazing Rouge Trader force, including some of the amazing and sadly discontinued sculpts from Satyr Art Studios (I am very jealous). https://lemmy.world/post/1283249
And finally my favourite post came from @jantin@lemmy.world with the kind of question that can be debated for hours, what is oldhammer and what isn’t? Of course @setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world had a great answer that I suggest you check out, or even weigh in with your own opinion. https://lemmy.world/post/1031971

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

Codex Armageddon (lemmy.world)

Armageddon, a world whose name is known across the Imperium. Armageddon, a world whose name has become a byword for war and destruction on a massive scale. Armageddon, where the fate of a thousand worlds hangs in the balance.

Codex Armageddon was published in 2000. The book gave the backstory for the 3rd War For Armageddon and contained special rules for the forces of the war- including the Ork Kult Of Speed, the Black Templar and Salamander space marines, and the Steel Legion imperial guard.
