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.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring By the sounds of it mate, the real treasure is your wife!
Such an amazing find and awesome birthday present.
I didn't think she would be able to top a copy of Lost Valley of the Dinosaurs, but she managed it!
Great wife, great find. Happy birthday.
She definitely scored big with this one.
Fantastic present. Took me ages collecting my sets. I spent far more than £30 too. Those painted floorplans are so iconically oldhammer.
They are classics, and so nicely done. It was a very lucky find!
this is a score of a haul. happy birthday!!!
She did well finding this.
Bro you really are amazing first a childhood memory relived now a Tabletop dream, happy birthday
The trick is I don't have to be amazing. I just surround myself with people who are. Works out great.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring I wanted to write you have amazing family.
I certainly agree with that!
Happy birthday ABNB.
Thank you.
Happy birthday! That’s an amazing find and gift! Absolutely love these old GW sets from that era.
They are so much fun, and so well illustrated.
Truly a kingly gift. Congratulations!
I'm really happy to have all this in my collection.
Wow what a great find! Congratulations on the gift and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. It's always nice when something unexpected like this happens!
Wow! I had these when I was young! Completely forgot about them until this video! Brings back lots of fun memories!
I'm glad the video brought back some memories for you.
Must have slipped my mind that it's your annual Birthday month. Happy Birthday.
Nice score on those sets. I cut all of mine up for use because I have the book of these that GW released at the same time as Townscape. CityBlok is my favorite of these sort of sets and the booklet for it is really well done with stuff for 40k and Judge Dredd.
It seems to come around quicker every year! I seem to recall you got a really good score yourself with the CityBlock set.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Yeah, it took a year or two of patient waiting though.
I think that's always the key. We both know how crazy prices on places like eBay can be, but if you are prepared to sit on your hands for long enough sometimes something will slip through the cracks.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Well in ten years there ought to be loads of stuff on ebay again as old guys start thinning out collections that have bloated and gone untouched in years.
I've looked at lots of my stuff lately and thought similar. If I've barely touched something aside from moving it around in thirty years, will I ever use it?
I love those booklets. The lairs one is written as if your are on a real estate tour. Brilliant! Also: Congratulations!
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.
How cool.very happy for you! Hope you had a good birthday. I love the art from that era. Cheers
Thanks. Yes, as birthdays go, it was a good one. You have to love the Oldhammer art; it was always so cool.
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
That's awesome. What a strange coincidence!
Belated Happy Birthday, indeed what a great Gift for a Birthday (if you are old enough, which you/we are.. ;-) ) About 17 years ago I was able to get my hands on an original shrink-wrapped copy of Dungeons for Talisman (Price Tag says £ 9.99) for my Talisman 2nd Ed. Game for ~35 Euros .. Well, it made me buy another (open and used) copy because I don't had the heart to open it (till this day)..
I know, this is way longer ago as your recent treasure, but to this day I do more and more appreciate this item, and I can comprehend the value of such a opportunity.. Such item are true relics to guys like us... :-) Thank you for sharing and I hope you enjoy it and keep it like a Dragon guards his treasure... ;-) Greetings from Austria!
Thanks. I like using original components, but it would be such a shame to cut something that has survived so long. I will use the bits I can as they are, and find some way to make use of the rest in another way!
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!
Damn. Now that's an awesome find
Absolutely. It was a really lucky find.
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.
Thanks for watching. That's interesting you got them in bags. Were they the ones without grids (as appearing in this video) or were they the gridded versions that were in Mighty Warriors?
Great find! Good work Mrs Always Board Never Boring! The library is one of my favourites due to the subtle (ish) indication that one of the bookshelves is a secret door!
You mean the scuff on the floor? It's neat. I love this old artwork. It's the sort of thing you can look at for a long time.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring yep, totally agree.
I hope you had a great birthday and that is a fantastic present. Thanks for sharing. It's amazing that they all survived intact.
Thank you. I couldn't believe that, not only was each set complete, but nothing had been cut either.
You're wife deserves a medal !.....as does mine 👍🤗😁
Funnily enough, she always tells me she deserves a medal too! She definitely does for this score, though.
What a great find and a wonderful gift.
I was absolutely blown away with it.
Happy birthday to you and a great find,I still love all the card sets and still have all the buildings that were made for warhammer and all the dungeon sets.
I love all this older stuff. It has so much charm and character.
Happy birthday and congrats on the excellent find 👍
Thank you.
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.
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.
Happy birthday 🎂 and what a great find by your wife that is awesome 👍
Thanks. She did really well here.
(Sees the video posted and then the title. Then speaks in a Obi-Wan voice) Why hello there!
As always great video and also a awesome wife! Kodos on her amazing luck!
Sergeant House! You are a bold one!
There, the Force has been balanced.
This was definitely a very lucky find.
Oh... and something something something Dark Side.
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.
I think it was just a very inventive, creative time and there weren't as many pulls for our attention as there are now. It's tough to focus these days when everyone carries around a little device that has the whole world in it.
Excellent video! What a find. ❤
Thanks.
Awesome find!!!
Don't come across a find like this that often these days, I feel. So I consider myself very lucky.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring I felt lucky myself when a patient I looked after gave me the hard-back Dungeon Floorplans book which contains quite a lot of the tiles you've got here, but this totally blows it our of the water
@@EnDungeoned What a lovely gift you received though! That's awesome.
Belated Happy Birthday, what a great gift!! I too turned 45 last month and this brings back so many fond memories! I remember the floor tiles being advertised in some of my first WD's though I never got them myself but they did inspire me to draw my own, sometimes for RPG games with friends but often just for the fun of it. I'd love to know who the artist was for these tiles, was there any mention in the packaging?
A lot of this stuff was drawn by Dave Andrews. Artists are normally credited on the back of the boxes for the tiles, the painted miniatures, and the game design, and it's usually Dave Andrews, Tony Ackland, and Colin Dixon.
How lucky of you! Most of the existing scans of white dwarf freebies were in very poor quality, that’s a rare find.
Yes. This was a great find.
still have mine! havent used it for awhile though!
It's such a useful selection of tiles.
Happy for you, man! Happy birthday! Know anywhere I can find HD scans of these??
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
That's some good sheet!
Ha. A joke Pot Noodleturner would be proud of!
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoringI'm glad he approves. Happy birthday! 😁
Had the dungeon floors
Same here. I love my wife.
Man,that is a lucky find. It boggles the mind how she managed to nail this so damn hard. Seriously,you need to do something really nice for her. Maybe do some extra chores for a month or something.
I don't suppose you'd be willing to share those scans with some oldhammer fans? I mean,it's not like GW is going to reprint them any time soon. I'll never understand how GW can be consumed with price gouging greed while at the same time leave money on the table so often. Seriously,how do you do that? They could easily offer these tiles as printable files they could charge a little for and it'd cost them nothing but bandwidth. Profit,happiness,and a nice low fee entry point for new players.
She did great with this gift. At the moment I don't have anything scanned. Once I do, I will have to think about it. Games Workshop get a bit funny about that sort of thing and my tiny channel can't afford to upset them!
It's actually a good idea for them to make downloads available for a small cost. Someone should suggest it to them.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring You do it. You got some subs behind your name so they might actually listen to you.
Of course,there's always anonymous leaks onto the interwebs. I know it sucks but sometimes it's the only way around corpo morons. But don't worry too much about it. There's plenty of similar products out there. There's entire companies sustaining themselves on GW's missed revenue. Which is why I scratch my head at the whole "greedy enough to gouge,but not bothering to get the money for stuff people want" thing.
And there's always making your own. I just like the oldhammer style.
"Pot Noodleturner"... Nice.
Always love an old Games Workshop dumb joke.
My wofe got me a shirt it was nice. 😐
I did get some socks too. I quite like some nice socks.
Haven't you heard..? Wives are always right! Or so I hear... 😅😭
I've definitely been told that. By my wife, at least.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Yeah... One of my players (a British Rabbi StarTrek fan) told me and my friends we were "lucky to be sad lonely gamers". 😭😭
Yeah, this video calls back to a happier time, when GW actually gave a shit.
It's definitely a very different company these days. I am happy wallowing in my nostalgia, though!
Back when Games Workshop still wrote material with humour, I miss those dorky old fun times!
Yeah, they used to have a lot of fun with what they were doing.
You won at life my man, great vid.
Thanks.
