Someone says INFLATION? You don't know what I'm talking about and have no idea of what inflation is? No worries, let me explain this economic concept to you with some WH examples: these are box price in mid '90s, did you notice anything? Correct, we call it "INFLATION"🤬

Lucky man! I was too young to afford more than one army.. If you take the guys out, drop some pics!

In November ’96, a new Bretonnia Army came out for WHFB fans. I always played Greenskinz, but I clearly remember how fascinated I was by the new Brets miniatures and lore, which was deeply explained in this WD issue. And overall, they were completely OP

Let’s take a moment to remember the glorious days of GW.
Back then, GW published a fanzine for every single specialist game—a true treasure for every fan. Today, we want to celebrate those unforgettable times with some stunning covers from the main zines

Like mentioned before, old WDs weren’t just full of stunning miniatures—they also had awesome BG and RPG content. Here’s a super useful article to help you give your party a fresh change of scenery in Warhammer Quest. Let me know if you want some more old RPG stuff too!

What I loved most of old WD was the "narrative flavour" of every post/article. I still read WD every month, but I find that the modern style dosn't fit properly the narrative and passion mood of older publications. (nostalgic pics from '96 WD)

Pokémon Gen 1 is (and always will be) my favourite. Even if the sprites are known for being some of the ugliest ever made (so ugly that they become wonderful)
These are the majestic trio – the hardest decision for a kid born in the early ’90s

1500 or 2000 pts? I'm having great fun (and decent results) with my greenskin army

OMG, I had that same ‘grass mat’ too—so annoying when the miniatures just wouldn’t stand properly on the folds 😂

I really don’t get why they disappeared from the WH40k miniatures range. It would be awesome to see them back as a full army..

Jabba @jabba00.bsky.social · 23d

You live the golden age mate. Honestly, I’m a little bit jealous.

Throwback to the ’98 White Dwarf, when the Dark Eldar codex first dropped. Young Gav Thorpe – probably the most nostalgic thing you’ll see today

Some days ago, a follower asked for some vintage rats. Here you go, Sir: some wonderful Skaven straight from the early ’90s.

(If you want some specific vintage beauties, just ask! :))

Sorry for the off-topic post, but today we lost one of my all-time favorite voices. We’ll miss you, TOMAS “TOMPA” LINDBERG (1972 – 2025).

I’ll go first:
My fav games are from the late ’80s / ‘90s
I’m in love with the 1st/2nd gen Pokemon games (childhood memories!), but also with Mario, Zelda (including the N64 titles), and other Nintendo gems

ATM I’m playing Resident Evil 2 on my Anbernic RG35XX+: I’m addicted to these retro consoles
