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

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.”

We start 2026 with a new edition of our annual event. Welcome to Challenge League 8: Cheevomon League! Challenge gym leaders by earning experience from the hubs they provide, then beat 3 out of 6 games from their line-up to claim the badge! retroachievements.org/forums/topic...

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

Just discovered @retroachievements.org. My life will never be the same again 🫶🏻

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remember first seeing that Shaman miniature? Absolute underhive mystique. Felt like he could command the sump itself. #Oldhammer #Necromunda #GamesWorkshop #90s #Warhammer #escher #vintage

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Crushing Bones Since the Dawn of Time The pile of shattered bones at his feet tells the whole story—this Treeman means business. #Oldhammer #Warhammer #Undead #GamesWorkshop #90s #whfb #skeletons #treeman

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

This lineup is exactly what I remember from poring over the original Necromunda catalog—choosing a gang felt like choosing a fate. #Oldhammer #Necromunda #GamesWorkshop #90s #eavymetal

That green stag-mask motif between the panels… pure classic Wood Elf aesthetic before everything went full tree-spirit. #Oldhammer #WarhammerFantasy #WoodElves #GamesWorkshop #90s

Who remembers spotting Geoff Taylor’s blazing orange Trollslayers on the rack back in ’96? This cover practically shouted from the shelves. Peak Trollslayers aura #Oldhammer #Warhammer #GamesWorkshop #90s #WhiteDwarf

Space Wolves vs Tyranids Classic mid-90s diorama goodness — Ulrik the Slayer leading his Space Wolves straight into a Tyranid tide. So many bright studio colours and our beloved red over everyother #Oldhammer #Warhammer40k #GamesWorkshop #90s #wh40k #spacewolves #tyranids

Anyone else remember seeing this Forest Dragon in ’Eavy Metal and instantly wanting to start Wood Elves? Those green scales and sweeping wings were pure 90s magic, and a resume of WHY we love whfb #Oldhammer #Warhammer #GamesWorkshop #WoodElves #90s #dragon

Golden Demon Glory The old Golden Demon pages always felt magical—pure hobby excellence captured forever. Valerie Florentin’s Eldar—sleek, alien, beautifully shaded—classic ’90s spirit warriors at their finest. On the other side, Anthony Warrington’s SWs. This banner work is peak Golden Demon

These hardened warriors look exactly like the old Codex promised—scarred, fearless, and carrying trophies from a hundred battles. Yellow borders, old statlines, tiny lore snippets… this whole page feels like opening a time capsule from the Long War. #oldhammer #warhammer40000 #wh40k #chaos #gw

Immune to psychology and sworn to all that’s good in the Old World—these knights embodied the heart of Bretonnia. This boxed set was a treasure: three noble champions, transfers, pennants, and the magic of Bretonnian chivalry in a single frame. #whfb #bretonnia #oldhammer #warhammerfantasybattle

Empire vs Savage Orcs Savage Orc Boarboyz charging Empire artillery… this picture lived rent-free in every Fantasy player’s head back then. #Oldhammer #WarhammerFantasy #GamesWorkshop #90s #GW #WHFB #greenskinz

Returning to blood angels project after not having done much for a year. Today was a big push to figure out banners #40k #bloodangels #oldhammer

Those classic metal Storm Troopers were elite in every sense — the models, the lore, the paint jobs. A whole generation’s “proper Guard.” #Oldhammer #Warhammer40k #ImperialGuard #90s #wh40k

The Siege of Erengrad — Europe’s First Global Campaign Before the internet, before online leaderboards — we had The Siege of Erengrad. Players across Europe sent results by mail. Chaos vs Kislev, store by store. That was community. #WarhammerFantasy #Oldhammer #Kislev #WHFB #gamesworkshop

Into the Dungeon of Doom! September ’94 saw Talisman: Dungeon of Doom unleashed! Jervis Johnson expanded the realms with perilous new boards, heroes like the Dragon Rider and Necromancer, and that iconic cover art of battle in the dark. #Oldhammer #Talisman #GamesWorkshop #BoardGames #90s

How gloriously ’90s can a battle scene get? Bright carapaced Tyranids swarming forward while Dire Avengers, Guardians, and that heroic Exarch carve a path toward the Hive Tyrant. Even the jungle terrain screams studio classic! #Warhammer40K #Eldar #Tyranids #Oldhammer #GamesWorkshop

Dragon Ogres Awaken! The mighty Dragon Ogres — ancient, storm-born terrors of Chaos! These 1994 sculpts still radiate raw Oldhammer power. Nothing like thunder and lightning to stir these slumbering beasts from the peaks. #Oldhammer #WarhammerFantasy #Chaos #GamesWorkshop #ChaosDwarfs #WHFB

Dwarfs vs the Undead – A Classic Clash! Rank upon rank of solid Dwarfen steel bracing against a sweeping tide of skeletons, wights, and chariots. Bright ’90s colours, banner icons everywhere, and that perfect rolling-hills terrain — this was Warhammer Fantasy at its cinematic best. #WHFB #Oldhammer

Since you like Necromunda... Take some ’90s Necromunda Escher’s neon hair, chainswords, duelling blades, and that iconic heavy plasma gun. Agile, deadly, and bursting with attitude — these sculpts defined the underhive’s fiercest fighters. #Necromunda #Oldhammer #EavyMetal #GamesWorkshop #90s
