The Facebook page & Instagram
The biggest Old World campfire on the internet.
Jonathan Hart and Sam Earl Sedghi run the largest Warhammer: The Old World Facebook group in the hobby — tens of thousands of generals, vetted at the gate — and the unofficial Instagram that flies the map icon.
Warhammer the Old World
The group Jonathan Hart and Sam Earl Sedghi administer. Armies, events, hobby and the daily life of the Beautiful Game. Answer the gate questions, agree the rules, and you are in.
Request to join
@warhammertheoldworld
The map-icon account. Miniatures, magazine drops, Hobby Insider films from Hart of the Hobby, and the daily paint that keeps the tavern fed.

Old World apps
Player aids for the table, not another tab to babysit.
Built by Sam Earl Sedghi for Knights of the Patreon. Phone, PC or Mac. Roll scenarios, track the Gaze of the Gods, keep the armoury and the victory points without breaking the spell of the game.
Gaze of the Gods
Track Chaos boons on multiple champions as they roll the Gaze of the Gods table, so nothing is forgotten mid-battle.
Legacy Armoury Tome
A companion tome for Legacy armies — weapons, relics and the dusty lists that still march in the Old World.
Battle & VP Tracker
Turn order, victory points and the rhythm of a game, built as a table-side player aid for phone, PC or Mac.
Friends of the tavern
Sponsors of the hearth.
Paint, dice, mats, books, a shop floor that still smells of primer — and the score under every episode. These houses keep the Old World on the table.
Battle Tome Music
Sam Earl Sedghi
The label and the score under every Community Podcast episode. Choirs, war drums, and the tavern after last orders.
