Note that metal Citadel Tree Bases are needed for the trees:


You will want 3mm plywood board to cut the forest / hedge bases if you want to do this the hard core way!

Hard Core Oldhammer

Welcome to the Hard Core Oldhammer blog where we show you how to do Oldhammer the hard core way! Rules of Hard Core Oldhammer: 1. The game is Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) 3rd Edition. The key publications are:      Warhammer Fantasy Battle      Warhammer Armies      Realm Of Chaos Slaves To Darkness      Realm Of Chaos The Lost And The Damned      Warhammer Siege      Warhammer Townscape 2. The models, bases and components were* produced by Citadel Miniatures, Iron Claw, Marauder Miniatures and in some cases Ral Partha before 1991. 3. The aesthetic for miniatures and scenery alike is straight from the key books above and the pages of White Dwarf Magazines of the 1980s. * Miniatures in some extremely limited cases have seen re-release by Games Workshop, Ral Partha Europe, Ral Partha Legacy and Wargames Foundry.

This page will be updated as new questions and answers arise. Your contribution is welcomed 👍  Updated: 30/08/2025 Q. What grade sand was used as the standard in house solution for those mid to late 80s Games Workshop studio bases? (Painted Goblin Green and drybrushed with Bilious Green) A. "Bird Cage Sand" was stated as the standard back in the day. Now it comes with shell calcium, lime and flavour additives so it might not be ideal. Fine sand of a grade 0.1mm to 0.3mm will work to produce that studio affect when glued on with PVA. Q. Trolls and Ogres are listed in Warhammer Armies as requiring 40mmx40mm bases however many were sold with 50mmx50mm bases. Which is correct? A. 40mmx40mm Q.
