That last reblog reminded me.
Did you know that the entire Warhammer franchise is named after an actual in-universe war hammer?
The Hammer of Harry.
I'm serious.
One of the first named characters in Games Workshop lore, even before warhammer fantasy was a cohesive franchise, was Harald Hammerstorm. A champion of chaos who sowed blood and death wherever he walked. He is the bane of the undead, and smites them with all the fury of the chaos gods.
Harry has been part of GW lore, and the namesake of the franchise, since the early 1980s. He's still canon to this day, with only minor changes to his look and backstory to fit recent developments.
Some people think the "main" hammer of the franchise is the weapon once wielded by Sigmar, the legendary Ghal Maraz. Even the logo of the warhammer franchise is a stylized version of Ghal Maraz.
But the actual warhammer that gave the franchise its name is Harry's Hammer.
