The Oldhammer Tome

I'm aware most of the audience will raise their brows when they see the content, but I guess anyway this stuff was worth of a sight. ;)
A friend of mine has made some kind of recopilation of some old material. For him his Oldhammer choice will be WHFB 4th Ed (I know, I know) and WH40K 2nd Ed. Anyway, this is not to debate over the choice, but to show what he ordered from a bookbinder:

Inside you can find the core rules for both systems:

The binding is lovely, hand-made in actual leather and metal ornaments. Reassuringly heavy :D

Just the books in a new format, roughly A4 size:

Well, wether you agree or not in the contents, the less that can be said is that the effort is wonderful, specially in these times where people gets the rules on tablets and other technomagic devices. I had it in my hands and couldn't less that share.

There's a typo on the front. Should say MiddleHammer. ;)

Nicely done though!

Re: The Oldhammer Tome

This looks excellent. This period is probably not my favourite gaming wise but I still have great memories of it. I'm strating to imagine a series of books like this with dates written on it so you can pick a bokk containing each edition of Warhamer with all its associated content (army lists, scenario packs and all)

RT in one book with all its associated content would be glorious...

Yep this is just pure sex in book form! 50 Shades of Grey Paint doesn't even come close :)

Re: The Oldhammer Tome

Sweet work, that!

Proper editions, too. I just hope the two White Dwarf pages were included to bring 4th up to 5th edition 8-)

Re: The Oldhammer Tome

Very, very impressive. I wonder how much it cost.

Any details on this particular book-binder?
Something in my aspect and speech seemed to excite vague fears and aversions in everyone I met, as if I were a being infinitely removed from all that is normal and healthful.
