It's okay to like the things you liked

From the back side of the 1996 Citadel Miniatures Catalog. High Elves vs. Undead. The style of Warhammer in the 90's.

It was already a while ago that I discovered that "Oldhammer" trend. A community(?) of people who play and collect older Citadel minis and play older versions of Warhammer. It is or was a kind of trend. Just search "Oldhammer" on Facebook and you will find groups with more than 10k subscribers.

Are people not happy with never versions of Warhammer or the new miniatures? Or did they become aware of the fact that constantly running after the hot new stuff, constantly changing everything and blowing everything up out of proportion does not make them happier? That it never made gaming better? 

So how about liking things again that we already liked before? These miniatures from the 90's - or choose an era by yourself - weren't bad. I really liked the style of the Citadel like shown above, I loved the design or let's say "look" of the whole thing. Clearly a point for the design department. And I am not the only one, in fact I heard that Games Workshop is re-releasing a lot of them. 

We can dismiss that as nostalgia. But is it bad? Maybe it is only the realization that the old is often just as good as the new and meets the requirements. An high elf from 1994 is still one in 2025. Prove me wrong.
