I was just looking at our list of forum members and it seems that we are now sitting at 985 Oldhammerers! So this means that we now have nearly enough members to form our own Space Marine Chapter (The Old-tra-Marines maybe or the Sala-Hammer-Manders).
I would say having a millenial of members is something of an auspicious occasion and so I thought I would put a question out there....What is Oldhammer to you?
It seems to be something different for each of us (but no less special because of it) and I would love to see what everyone's perspective is...
Is it lovingly collecting, painting and displaying old models?
Is it playing with older, out of publication rulesets with like-minded gamers?
Is it the opportunity to rant about 'How things were different back in the old days' or 'What a corporate monstrosity GW has become!'
Or is it just some hoary old gamers trying to recapture their lost youth by playing their favourite old games with rose tinted spectacles (that's probably me)
I would be really interested to see your take on this topic as it struck me what a varied band of brothers (and sisters) we are!
I'm also really interested to see if we have many younger gamers who didn't play these games the first time around and have been drawn in to our niche hobby for different reasons! Don't be shy
