Nerd, father, husband. Fascinated by pieces of nerd history. I love sharing and discussing old GW stuff, retrogaming, comics, etc.—basically, anything that makes me feel nostalgic.

Never been a true chaos fun, anyway remember when saw this exact model played agains my beloved greenskinz. This page explain the feeling before the battle: it didn’t explain Chaos – it warned you about it. #Oldhammer #WarhammerFantasy #Chaos #90s #Lore

The promise on this page was huge: one box, a whole regiment. No more scavenging blisters. For younger hobbyists, this felt like the gates being thrown wide open. #Oldhammer #Warhammer #Regiments #90s #GamesWorkshop

“There is no such thing as too many tanks.” That quote at the bottom of the Crushing Fist page lived rent-free in my head for years. This was the moment Epic taught us how Guard wars were really fought. #Oldhammer #Epic40K #ImperialGuard #GamesWorkshop #90s

Rick Priestley’s words on this page made Chaos feel vast and unknowable. New rules, new cards, new magic. “Corrupted in form and tainted by madness” stuck with me. This pages sold Chaos as a mindset, not just an army choice. #Oldhammer #Warhammer #Chaos #90s #GamesWorkshop

Those Desert World examples on this page were hobby gold. Bubonic Brown, washes, drybrush – suddenly your tanks matched the table and felt right. We all copied this. #Oldhammer #Warhammer #Painting #90s #GamesWorkshop

I miss Campaing Packs so much: they sold the idea that scenery mattered. Buildings weren’t decoration – they were objectives, stories, and excuses to fight again next week. #Oldhammer #Warhammer #Terrain #GamesWorkshop #90s

This page taught me the joy of artillery parks. Long barrels, missile racks, overlapping fire zones – it felt like real military planning, not just a game. Peak Epic-era Guard thinking. (like you can understand, i LOVE epic40k) #Oldhammer #Epic40K #ImperialGuard #GamesWorkshop #90s

"Chronicle of Blood" was one of many battle report on 90's WD. This time, it’s the Dwarfs’ turn to stand their ground and defend the world from the relentless advance of Chaos. Just look at that gorgeous red 😍

Zodgrod Wortsnagga was such a weird, brilliant character. Part Runtherd, part mad scientist. I always wanted an excuse to field more Gretchin just because of him. #Oldhammer #Warhammer40K #Orks #90s

I always loved how Eavy Metal treated Beastmen like true Chaos warriors, not background troops. Rich reds, blacks, and bronzes everywhere. You could smell the paint pots. #Oldhammer #WarhammerFantasy #EavyMetal #90s

Let’s go back to the glorious Red Period — when everything was louder, bloodier, and, overall RED! Those Gutter Runners on this page look fast. Lean poses, raised fists, barely touching the ground. This page sold Skaven speed better than any rule ever could. #Oldhammer #BloodBowl #Skaven #Minis

The Culexus write-up on this page felt genuinely unsettling. Anti-psyker horror, blanks, and psychological warfare. It read like something the Imperium shouldn’t even admit exists. #Oldhammer #Warhammer40000 #Culexus #90s #Imperium #wh40k

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 12/02/2026
I loved how this page mixed Orcs and Goblins without apology. Big, brutal muscle next to sneaky madness. It captured the army’s internal chaos perfectly. And in the right-bottom of the page you can see the model that made me love Greenskinz <3 #Oldhammer #WarhammerFantasy #OrcsAndGoblins #90s

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 11/02/2026
The Ork biker on this page sold the whole setting in one glance. Speed, dakka, and zero concern for safety. Gorkamorka felt like Mad Max through a green lens. #Oldhammer #Gorkamorka #Orks #GamesWorkshop #90s #vintage

The super-heavies on this page hit differently as a kid. Baneblades and Shadowswords lined up like candy in a shop window. I can still remember tracing which one I’d buy “next” (planning tons of purchases with my little pocket money 😂 ) #Oldhammer #Epic40K #Warhammer #ImperialGuard #90s

All right, the break is over. On this catalogue spread, the Brets Questing Knights ride out in full heraldic madness. Champions, banners, trumpets – it all felt impossibly grand back then. This page sold me on Bretonnia long before rules ever did. #Oldhammer #Warhammer #Bretonnia #GamesWorkshop

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
Last DoW unit showed: The Birdmen of Catrazza This page felt wild back then. Flying mercenaries with bows? Pure Dogs of War madness, and we loved every inch of it. The Birdmen didn’t just fight—they swooped. #whfb #Oldhammer #nerd #FantasyBattle #DogsOfWar

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
Third DoW unit revealed: Golgfag Maneater’s Mercenary Ogres . I think I might still have a few of these minis stashed away somewhere… assuming they escaped my parents, who could very well have given them to some younger cousin because I was obviously “too old to still be playing with toy soldiers.”

Before YouTube tutorials, we had pages like this. The How to Paint Dark Eldar guide was studied, reread, and probably splattered with paint. #Oldhammer #Warhammer #GamesWorkshop #90s #eldar #wh40k #darkeldar

Second unit of DoW showed: Braganza’s Besiegers Alan Perry sculpted so much character into these models. This page shows why the Besiegers felt heavier and tougher than most infantry. #Oldhammer #Warhammer #DogsOfWar #Fantasy

This page perfectly captures early 40K’s practical mindset: adapt, don’t replace. Rules change, models endure. Seems like today' philosophy, right? /s #Oldhammer #Warhammer #GamesWorkshop #40K #spacemarines #bloodangels

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 29/12/2025
Leopold’s Leopard Company—this page was Dogs of War at its finest. Ranked pikes, proud banners, and Tilean attitude packed into one glorious spread. I'll share someother DoW minis in the future - I love them #Oldhammer #WarhammerFantasy #DogsOfWar #90s

Chainswords, greatcoats, and ice-world bases—this Army Painting page showed Valhallans at their grimmest. Hard not to hear the crunch of snow just looking at it. #Oldhammer #Warhammer #GamesWorkshop #40K #imperialguard #wh40k

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 27/12/2025
A Paymaster you feared more than the enemy—this Dogs of War page nailed the idea that gold mattered as much as steel in the Old World. DoW were a strange army back then: everyone loved them, everyone had some minis, but barely nobody played them Today, a DoW come back, would be a great gift from GW

The War Walker posed on Goblin Green, page framed like a museum display. Back when Eldar tech felt elegant and alien, not overdesigned. That yellow and black scheme lives rent-free in my head. #Oldhammer #Warhammer40k #ClassicGW #90s

Close-ups on this page were gold. Armour details, glyph panels, and the banner art begged to be copied with a shaky brush at home. We all tried. None of us nailed it. #Oldhammer #Warhammer #PaintingMiniatures #90s #orks

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 25/12/2025
Golden Demon ’94 winners, right here on this Warhammer category page. Andrew Daborn’s Horned Rat monster stole the show — that bone flail detail was the kind of thing we all stared at, brush in hand, dreaming big. #Oldhammer #GoldenDemon #Warhammer #90s

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 24/12/2025
Richard Lawrence’s commended vehicle along the bottom of this page is a reminder that realism had a place too — weathering, markings, stowage. A grounded counterpoint to all the bright hero pieces. #Oldhammer #Warhammer40000 #GoldenDemon #Classic40K

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 23/12/2025
Skeleton Horsemen on this Heavy Metal Undead spread were the definition of cool in early Warhammer Fantasy. Bone-white steeds, tattered banners, and that dramatic posing that screamed “rank and flank terror.” #Oldhammer #WarhammerFantasy #GamesWorkshop #Undead #90s
1285
Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 22/12/2025
This page summed up a whole era — banners mattered, trophies mattered, names mattered. Seeing the winners credited like this made you believe you could end up here one day. #Oldhammer #WarhammerCommunity #GamesWorkshop #Classic40K

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 21/12/2025
Who else remembers this Heavy Metal spread unveiling the Champions of Death Blood Bowl team? Mummies, Wights, Ghouls and Zombies back when Undead teams felt truly eerie. #Oldhammer #BloodBowl #Warhammer #GamesWorkshop #90s

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 20/12/2025
Page featuring Mark Daborn’s Orcs Command Group, placing 3rd in Warhammer Commanders. That banner alone was pure late-80s GW excess – skulls, flames, and fearless colour choices. #Oldhammer #Warhammer #CitadelMiniatures #GamesWorkshop
0263
Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 20/12/2025
I remember studying this pages to learn vehicle markings. Campaign badge, company badge, gunner insignia — the Razorback felt like a real machine with history, not just a transport (or a Rhino on steroids) #Oldhammer #Warhammer #GamesWorkshop #SpaceMarines

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 18/12/2025
Who remember "Revenge of the Doom Lord"? Was a WHFB scenario made by Jervis Johnson in mid '90s on WD. Empire vs Undead, a true classic full of magnificent red-tones <3 #warhammer #oldhammer #whfb #undead #battlereport
The Empire Army

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 18/12/2025
Anyone else stop dead at this Man O’ War teaser? The Hellship, Hellrammer and Hellslasher bursting with classic Chaos iconography. That riot of colour and those mad sails screamed early specialist games ambition. IMO, Mon O' War was one of the most underrated games #Oldhammer #ManOWar #Warhammer

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 17/12/2025
We saw Empirium Dreadnought, now it's time for some chaotic pleasure. Clawed feet, warped limbs, screaming faces on armour plates… back when Chaos meant wild imagination. #Oldhammer #Warhammer40k #Chaos #GamesWorkshop #90s #wh40k
0205
Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 16/12/2025
Same Heavy Metal spread, but my eyes always went to the Goblins. Chainsaws, pogo sticks, ball-and-chain madness — Nobbla, Fungus and Scrappa summed up why early Blood Bowl felt gloriously unhinged. Rules second, spectacle first. #Oldhammer #BloodBowl #Warhammer #GamesWorkshop #90s

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 15/12/2025
Remember first seeing that Shaman miniature? Absolute underhive mystique. Felt like he could command the sump itself. #Oldhammer #Necromunda #GamesWorkshop #90s #Warhammer #escher #vintage

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 14/12/2025
That little lore box hits so hard—reminding us these walking tombs were among the Imperium’s first war machines. Not a sterile plastic miniature, but 1.5 kg of pure nostalgic metal #Oldhammer #Warhammer40k #Lore #GamesWorkshop #90s #wh40k

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 13/12/2025
A rock drill and a stub gun? The perfect mix of mining accident and fire support. This Pit Slave with giant industrial shears always looked one snip away from ending a campaign #Oldhammer #Necromunda #PitSlaves #GamesWorkshop #90s #eavymetal

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 13/12/2025
These banner-topped Dreadnoughts were the height of ’90s spectacle—walking cathedrals of metal lined up like heroes of legend. Sometimes, all you need to fix your problem is a good old metal draddy <3 #Oldhammer #Warhammer40k #Dreadnought #GamesWorkshop #spacemarines #wh40k

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 11/12/2025
Folks, what a historic trio: the dark, brooding Dreadnought, the wildly converted Ork buggy, and that monstrous Imperial excavator-tank straight out of an underhive nightmare. Directly from GD '96, three absolute icons of the metal era! #Oldhammer #Warhammer40k #GoldenDemon #GamesWorkshop
2181
Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 11/12/2025
That classic Chief sculpt always felt like a story waiting to happen—calm stance, deadly purpose. Remember first seeing that Shaman miniature? Absolute underhive mystique. Felt like he could command the sump itself. #Oldhammer #Necromunda #GamesWorkshop #90s #Warhammer

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 10/12/2025
Go on with '96 Golden Deamon. Today let's be pleased by Barry Lees’ 1st place Goblin group. It's pure comedy gold—wonky banners, grinning faces, and that starry moon icon. 2nd place for Mark Clayton’s, whose Dwarfs bring the stoic swagger—runes, braids, axes, and banners held like heirlooms.

Scavvy Time in the Underhive Ah, the Scavvies—the real bottom feeders of Necromunda. Filthy, rotten, and absolutely iconic. #Oldhammer #Necromunda #Scavvies #GamesWorkshop #90s

You should know: Greenskins have a special space in my heart (WHFB or WH40k don't care). This time it's the time of some good old Savage Guyz on some stunning boars. The idea of Shamans painting the Boyz with magic tattoos before battle is magic #Oldhammer #WarhammerLore #SavageOrcs #GamesWorkshop
