Happy Birthday Realm of Chaos 80s


This blog is three years old today! It has grown beyond my wildest expectations over that time and I thank you all for continuing to read and enjoy the posts I publish. Apparently, my style of writing isn't everyone's cup of tea but you cannot please everyone, can you?

They are probably resellers! Ha ha ha!

To celebrate the special occasion I had a bit of a splurge on eBay this week. Recently, I have been holding fire on buying any more miniatures as its hard to justify piling anymore lead on top of the mountain to a wary spouse. But with a new army underway I am eager to get my hands on suitable models to fill the ranks before the coming Oldhammer Weekend 2015. I hope to put on a scenario battle and act as GM and provide all the necessary forces, scenery and rules tweaks - but more on all that later!

So all that is left for me to say is THANK YOU to all of you who have followed, commented, read or just passed through over the last thirty-six months. Look out for another old school GW interview to be published tomorrow, too!

    1. Yes indeed, but the trouble with nostalgia is it just isn't what it used to be!

  4. I've been following this blog since (almost) the beginning, and it's been an adventure beyond anything I could have imagined! The interviews have been especially great to read about, and the 'Acceptable in the 80s' series is such a great trip down nostalgia lane!

    Keep up the good work Orlygg, and here's to many more years of Realm of Chaos 80s!!

    1. Thanks Blue! Ha... For a minute I though Chico had stolen your account. On my screen your 'burn him' looks rather like 'bum him'. And only Chico could relate such filth to the noble art of tabletop generalship!
