Yes, as I mentioned Mr Brathzabruel does the tour for Lairs and Pot Noodleturner does the tour for Rooms. It's little things like that that make the Oldhammer stuff feel so much more silly and fun.

Such an amazing find and awesome birthday present.

What an amazing find! Congrats! My wife periodically shops at various thrift stores and on occasion, she finds a collection of board games but it is almost always a copy of Trivial Pursuit or maybe Monopoly or Sorry. Never anything as cool as this.

My wife has a bit of a tradition where for every birthday she will hunt around charity shops, eBay, Vinted, and places like that looking for old games. She usually manages to unearth a few treasures. It's getting harder to find good bargains these days, though.

Happy birthday! An amazing and thoughtful (and lucky) gift! What a coincidence! I was looking through 'The Book of Astronimican" - a supplement for 40k first edition TODAY. It contains a short campaign, 'Wolftime'. The last mission has Space Marines storming (if they had any success, that is) the palace of ork warboss. Wouldn't you know it - it uses the beautiful tiles you just showed us. XD

Wow thanks for sharing this game . I’m not sure if it’s nostalgia or it’s because it’s where it all began for me but I love this time period too, when games workshop actually made games, unlike today I’m guessing that’s why they changed there name too warhammer, no game in that tile😂… I find GW now just that but too serious, think that’s why I like blood bowl it reminds of a different time, alit bit crazy and little but unhinged, less about the minis looking amazing and more about the games being fun.. but but maybe that’s just me.. thanks again for the video, always enjoy.

Games Workshop don't lean into wackiness to the same degree these days, although sometimes I do see something that I think is very "old school." Like recently they released a ghoul judge whose wig was made of intestines. That seemed very much like something they would have done a long time ago!

What a super video. Thanks to you and most importantly your wife. I got a fair few of these floor plans when my local GW was having a clear-out sale. They were in plastic bags. At the time I had no idea that might warriors existed although I had heard of terror in the dark because I did have AHQ, so I can only assume GW had too much of the stuff.

I was absolutely blown away with it.

Looks like a great set, or sets rather. 👍 And looking at the Artwork, I saw some of the Dungeon Floor Plans set that I own, which I suspect pre-dates this set by a few years. My set doesn't have any rooms, just sheets of grided floors, and tunnels, a lot more mine cart rails, although there is a boat, and dock set, as well as wooded areas. There are also clay tiled roof sheets which could be used to mask off any area in the "fog of war", so to speak. My set was never cut, but at the time was photocopied and cut into the required shapes and card mounted as required, which I eventually purposed into custom HQ room tiles for home-brew modules. I particularly liked making floor tiles that would cover multiple rooms which really changed the board, like creating exterior dungeon entry areas, or "Boss" rooms.

@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring

3 күн бұрын

The boats, docks, and roofs is probably from Dungeon Floor Plans 3 and there was more mine card stuff in Dungeon Floor Plans 4. Those were 1983 and 1984 respectively, although they may have been reprinted at some point.

How lucky of you! Most of the existing scans of white dwarf freebies were in very poor quality, that’s a rare find.

I find Scribd is a good source for a lot of older GW stuff, but I have no idea if any floorplans are on there

I was born the same year than you (happy birthday 🎉 btw). And I wonder why so many hobbyists - not all - are roughly from the same generation. For me, the beginning was HQ in 90. That era really left its mark on adventure gaming. Is that why we still play or rediscover these games nowadays? In any case, while games have evolved very positively in recent years, I don't see they have the same impact on the younger generation.
