Orks!
A retro Warhammer 40,000 tabletop war game blog.
Welcome!
Most content will relate to the first three editions of 40K. That falls into what is generally known as oldhammer and the early middlehammer period. I expect to stray further afield as time goes on.
The blog includes a web app with some fun tabletop war game features.
