What's the name of the planet of the Warhammer RPG?

What is the name of the Warhammer RPG's planet?

You know, the FR world is called "Toril"; the GH setting world is called "Oerth"; etc.

My GM tells me it's called "Warhammer".

I always thought Warhammer was just the name of the game, though, and not the actual name of the planet.

If folks in the setting really do call the planet "Warhammer", then why?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks.

They don't. AFAIK, the name is "The Old World". I'm certain that it is not "Warhammer", though.

The 'Old World' is just a part of it, you also have Lustria etc. IIRC. I think it is Warhammer though because in all my years playing/painting it, (about 23 now), I've never heard it called anything different.

Earth?

I do believe it's Earth.

I'm confident it's Garweeze's Wurld. Or is that the planet name for Warhamster?

I alway thought it was Earth as well.

you know in my 14 years of playing I don't think I've ever known this.

Now, if you go by 40K, it's Earth....then you just have to decide if Fantasy is the same world in a different time period, or if it is a feral world in the same time period.

I have the Warhammer Dictionary at home, but I think its just "The Old World." I'll check and repost when I get home from work.

Found this online. I'll check for sure when i get home.

Warhammer World: the setting for the Warhammer games. It gets its name from the last Slann ship to come through the warp-gates before they exploded. This ship was called "The Warhammer" and gave its name to the planet. What the Slann called the planet before this is unknown.
