Best of 40k Internet: If Nostalgia is your Game

For over three years one blog has been delivering some of the best content ever produced from a Games Workshop fan site. It isn’t the fanciest, in fact you could say it quite the throwback, but if you read it you wouldn’t want it any other way. This blog’s passion for the past isn’t only a great read, but a time capsule we will all be thankful for years from now.

I am talking about the one and only Realms of Chaos 80s.

This blog is dedicated to everything Oldhammer, it takes you back in time to old White Dwarf articles, ancient novels, but my favorite the love of Games Workshop art. Realms of Chaos 80s is most known for the great interviews from the people who shaped the hobby, providing experienced insights, and reminding us all about the  collective history we may have forgotten.

You can easily get lost in this blog and its defunct sister blog Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. The person behind all this greatness is Orlygg Jafnakol, cute name don’t you think? As with many blogs it started out as way to chronicle a specific journey, in this case it was playing ancient Warhammer Skirmish games, but what it turned into was something much more.

To give you an idea here are few of my favorite posts over the years.

Everything about this blog is Oldhammer; some of it might be little too “back in my day”, but if you didn’t live through those ancient times, you should do yourself a favor and read your history son!
