Yeah Mom, you don't know what's best for us anymore! 😀❤
Just received my copy of the game today after purchasing it off of eBay. Really excited to finally be able to play it.
Good stuff, I love this game.
Hi Cory, Stephen Baker here. Great video! I'm so glad you finally got your hands on Battle Masters!
Hi Stephen! Thanks for the comment, I'm extremely happy you liked the video and that I finally managed to get a copy of Battle Masters of course. It took me a while, but I can finally play it!
Great to read you here Stephen, you putted simple rule with great value in this box. Magnificent work. Here in Italy when we were kids we falled in love with this type of games. Great work!👍🏻
Cory! My brother and I bought two sets in 1992 (16yo and 10yo) and used the figures for Warhammer Fantasy as 4th edition had just been released. Not too long ago I rescued the game from the family home as my parents had sold the house before retiring to the country. The game box was beaten up and it was missing all the figures and tower but the cardstock was unpunched. My plan in 2024 is to purchase the missing figures and paint the two forces of Imperial and Chaos, challenge my brother to the campaign game, 32 years later. We will no doubt fight and argue but we will have lots of fun.
That's amazing, my friend! I hope you'll be able to find all the minis you need because I'm sure you're going to have a lot of fun playing the Battle Masters campaign. Wishing you the best of luck!
been trying to remember for years what this game was called. Thanks
Got it for Xmas in 92. Took three hours to assemble. The figures all have to be cut from plastic frames 😂
I was 20 years old when I bought this new with my own cash in 92! I still have it today. Much loved, beat to hell… but boy I love playing it.
Great video! I've played that game for decades but I don't have that edition manual, mine has less pictures. Plus, I''ve never seen the unboxing of the expantions. I read they had these components but never saw them, thanks for opening the boxes, it was an unreal experience! Also, the manuals seem to have new art. One thing you can do with BM is change the rules for a more wargaming experience for.... gamers who want more dice, rules and odds (games workshop LOTR rules for example), and keep the simpler instructions for norma.... I mean OTHER people. We add miniatures and have fun creating platforms, I use old transparent and black CD protectors,
I bought this game in 1994 from the local department store's toy section. There was a guy who was playing Warhammer and got me and my buddy into it too, and he suggested it would be a great starting point for getting into Warhammer! My buddy ended up collecting Empire, and I decided to collect Chaos, and so we bought it brand new from the store, brought it home, snapped out the figures and played a game. It was fun and it kicked off decades of miniature gaming for me! So cool to see that you finally got your hands on it. Will you paint it up too?!?
@@AnHourOfWolves As much as I would like to, I've decided to make an exception and leave the miniatures in my board game collection unpainted. The reason is that the pile of miniatures I’m planning to paint, as it is, will last me decades 😅. Fortunately, the previous owner threw in some extra models, and since I'm planning to start an Empire army for Warhammer: The Old World, I'll definitely paint those!
@@CoryCollects That's super interesting; I'm never sure whether Battle Masters is a board game or a miniature game. I'll add your interpretation that it's a board game to the pile of evidence that that's what it is... Thanks for posting!
love your videos and your "vibe" ! keep it up, ciao!
Ciao, my friend! I'm happy you loved it, and thanks for the comment!
Great video Cory! I aquired it a few years back and am determined to paint it soon.
Also...i see the masterpiece Dragon Strike there. Crack it open for a video!
Thanks for the comment, my friend! I was thinking of doing more unboxings of other tabletop miniature games in the future, so I might eventually make one for Dragon Strike. I appreciate the suggestion!
I received it as a Christmas present in the 90s. In Italian like yours
Between 1980 and 2000 GW translated everything into my language. Now no longer
Ah, Battlemasters, a game I have a deep love for. It really is a relic from a simpler time. The rules have zero room for ambiguity and confusion.
I am very tempted to make a home brew version of it. I just need to find somewhere that can make a mat.
What lengths are the sides of the hexes?
Hi, my friend! Thanks for your comment. I've just measured the sides of the hexes, and they are 3 inches long. Hope that helps!
@CoryCollects brilliant! Thanks for that, will come in handy for making a play mat.
Bought it at gamesday derby(uk) still up the loft with the empire add on box,look at it every so often and think must get round to finish it,great fun vid and i hope you have fun with it.
I'm surely going to, my friend! Thanks for the comment; I'm happy you liked the video!
This wasnt a video about wargaming. It's an enormous FU to adulthood. 😉
It's important to stop adulting sometimes and listen to our inner child. 😄
Absolutely love this! Always love gaming history vids!
Thanks Proxy, glad you loved it!
Of course!@@CoryCollects
AH take that MOM!
Great video Cory, you probably payed it with blood 😂 but owever remains a great deal 💪🏻
Fulfilling a childhood desire has no price my friend! 😁
So cool ⚔
I wish they reprinted like hero quest
😍😍😍
💚💚💚
i played hero quest but never battle masters, 2 months later i started playing warhammer and never touched it again...
Me too! I'm actually trying to start a Hero Quest campaign at my friendly local gaming store. It's been a long time since I last played it, and almost nobody there has tried it somehow.
@@CoryCollects Super cool man you will have to let everyone know how that goes!
