- Hello my dear friends!
In this video I'll show you , in my opinion, one of the greatest alternatives to Warhammer 40k back in the 90's, Mutant Chronicles: Warzone! I'm going to unbox the second edition starter box set that came out in 1998, the same year when the Third edition of Warhammer 40k was around.
Enjoy!

I know that WH and WH40K is almost a religion but Ive never seen any beasts, monsters or demons nearly as cool as the ones in mutant chronicles.
Fr. 40k bros really act like Islamic fundamentalists when it comes to their hobby
Not forgotten, there's also a Kickstarter campaign going live 2nd may 2023 from Res Nova with Warzone Eternal.
A skirmish game.
thanks for sharing, i love the whole mutant chronicles universe but i missed this campign
Warzone.
One Nepharite of Alakhai totally decimated every enemy Bauhaus almost single handedly as he swept across the battlefield, turning brother against brother and raising even fallen enemies to fight for the Dark Legion. Totally OP.
Never forgotten. I still have that box and whole bunch of miniatures. Also, all of a sudden Warzone Eternal looks pretty nice!
I´m a simple man. I see Warzone, I press like.
A wonderful game, I still own it and play it with our games group. You should have see the look on people's faces when I bring it to our local store.
Great game. Great lore. Really nice minis.
I JUST BOUGHT THE SAME EXACT BOX ON EBAY IN LATE FEBRUARY! X-D
I remember playing the 1st edition of this. Since it was developed by a Swedish company, Target Games, you could get the rules entirely in Swedish which helped an adolescent me who wasn't very proficient in English for 40k.
I liked the smaller skirmishes, the setting and the factions but looking back at it there were some glaring balance issues and misconceptions of the rules that I remember having a lot of arguments with other players about. It was first when you got to talk to official people that you could get things sorted out.
It was a great game, contemporary to the Wh40K 2nd edition and in some aspect superior to that due to its D10 base
Nice intro. I may look into this as a on stop wargame to fil the need for mayhem. Thanks. Unfortunately I know almost nothing of Warhammer so the comparisons were lost on me.
My buddies and I played WZ back in the 90s a lot. We probably had most of the figurines they ever made, but my buddy died in 2019 and I don't know if his widow still has them... We preferred it to 40k because it's a bit less restrictive. I know it had at least one standalone board game spinoff and when I went to E3 in Boston in 2018 there was a startup company trying to make a ccg pc game based on it.
2nd edition Warzone is one of the few starter sets where I actually painted all the models....
Personally I think it's more like 2nd edition 40K, with smaller forces and more individual actions per soldier.
In 3rd ed 40K went more into army-style gaming, which Warzone never really replicated.
Di Warzone esistono cinque edizioni, di cui quinta è ancora in sviluppo dopo il Kickstarter e non vedo l'ora di averla fra le mie mani. Ogni tanto gioco ancora qualche scenario utilizzando le regole della prima.👻
Warzone (first edizion) - Target Games
Warzone (second edizion) - Target Games
Ultimate Warzone - Excelsior Entertainment
Warzone Resurrection - Prodos Games
Warzone Eternal - Res Nova
Hi Cory, thanks for this video and to bring back memories of this gorgeous box. As you said, we are still playing Warzone game, although newer edition (we are going to host a tournament in Italy in two weeks), and in general the Mutant Chronicles Italian Community is still strong. If you are curious on how the new editions look like and what is the gameplay, let me know. Happy painting! Ciao!
all what I have left from that starter box is the box and the dices
Got lots of these miniatures... Great stuff :)
The 6th ish edition is the new warzone eternal kickstarter coming out in May. After that 2nd edition there was a 3rd edition low quality book only with cut and paste pictures and only a couple miniatures added and died quickly, more like a fan version. The 4th edition was from prodos, warzone resurrection. They cleaned it up and tweaked rules for a 2nd edition so that would have been the 5th version.
enjoyed.
i played dark legion back in the day, so OP but it was great fun
great game, would have described it more at 40k 2nd edition in a more realistic way than 3rd.
Meraviglioso. Le illustrazioni del magnifico Paul Bonner, sparse un po' su tutti i giochi ambientati nell'universo mutant chronicles, erano un bel plus per me. Anzi, nel mio caso, il vero motivo per cui mi aveva tanto catturato questo prodotto. Anche l'illustrazione della scatola che mostri, non mi vorrei sbagliare, sembra un po' il suo stile e potrebbe essere lui. La mitica Hobby & Work pubblicò in edicola un romanzo che non era nemmeno così malaccio, intitolato "Luna City", in versione illustrata e con vari inserti dedicati al lore. Purtroppo non ebbi la fortuna di conoscere Warzone ai tempi in cui uscì e non ho capito bene se la nuova edizione di kickstarter Warzone Eternal parta o meno, visto che vedo che ha meno di 1k follower...esteticamente poi non sono un fan delle meccaniche ad attivazioni alternate e mi piace lanciare tanti dadi quindi forse non fa comunuqe per me. Ma il lore è veramente una figata galattica...ed è vero che le miniature sono stupende: che fortuna aver trovato questa scatola!!
Oh yeah, we used to play it a lot back in the 90's. Much superior to 40k.
It sounds like a fun game! 🙌
I just got the exact same box, and i absolutly love it, I plan both playing 2 armies againts each other, and proxy Warhammer
I will need sone kitbashibg for that, but i don't want to use original minies, so im looking into scaning and printing some so i have something to butcher
🤣🤣 Grande Coryyyyy e ora devi dipingerle tutte!!!!!🤣
Non in questa vita! 😂
The lore looks so cool, and also the illustrations are terrific, anyone knows the name of the artist?
Great video also, you have a new suscriber.
Multiple artists worked on the illustrations! If you go at 4:42 you can see all the names of the artists on the top right corner of the first page! Thank you for subscribing!
Paul Bonner of 40K fame did a shit ton of illustrations for this game in several editions, some even say he did 'set' the aesthetics for it.
Paul Boner did early, scenic illustrations, with lots of characters on them. This is the best art wortk ever done for mutant chronicles. Later most illustrations were much smaller, comic book style by Paolo Parente / Studio Parente
Mutant Chronicles is pretty much The Expanse meet 40k, where the Humanity is locked inside the Solar system because of cosmic horrors straight out of Hellraiser. Also national entities are replaced by Megacorporations.
A lot of the better art comes from Pablo Parente.
woah Cory! what a deal! I hope it didn't cost you both your kidneys and you liver too 😅
Not as much as you may think my friend! Mostly because it's the Italian version of the game and it's also not very famous unfortunately
@@CoryCollects owever great condition of the box, it's practically pristine 🤓
Never played this but looks like a great alternative! If only I had more money! 😅
I definitely can relate my friend! 😅 Fortunately, since the game is not supported anymore, I still managed to find some miniatures for a very good price!
@@CoryCollects Nice! Got into Frostgrave a while back but never had anyone to play with 😓 had painted up a really cool Skeleton Warband with a Necromancer. Unfortunately the one time I did manage to play I found out my warband was extremely broken and my opponent did not have a fun time lmfao 😂
@@ProxyHammer1 you've just reminded me that I should actually give Frostgrave another try one of these days. But I have to say that I've always preferred Stargrave, its sci-fi counterpart!
@@CoryCollects the campaign is super fun part about the game plus it is super cheap to get into and you can pretty much use any models even bones figures that are only like two dollars apiece!
'Ate Necromutants.
'Ate the Dark Soul.
'Ate the Dark Legion.
'Ate Mishima(not raysis, just dun like 'em).
Luv the Cardinal.
Luv the Serenity.
Luv Imperial.
Simple as.

Mutant Chronicles, both Warzone and the RPG, is a fantastic setting and game. It really deserves a better place of prominence than it currently holds. As it stands with it's production history, it's something of a cursed property. The license goes out, it gets picked up by a seemingly naive up and coming game company who then struggle with it for a few years before the holding company(still the same guy as was running Target back in the 90s) pulls the license, pockets the easy cash and starts the process over again. Shameful. For it to live someone needs to pry it away wholly from Cabinet Entertainment(or whatever they're calling themselves THIS week), with a strong vision for it's development as a setting and it's direction as a game line.
I have seen the movie. And its nothing like the board game. From what I'm seeing here. half of the stuff isn't in the movie.
the movie was an half-abortion...originally JOHN CARPENTER was to direct it (and the preliminary work he did before that project went awry went into GHOSTS OF MARS which if you pay attention is VERY SIMILAR in conception...very very similar).
@@RealKull good knowledge solo man 🤟🏻
There are 3-rules on The Mutant Chronicles movie.
1. We don't talk about the Mutant Chronicles movie.
2. We don't talk about the Mutant Chronicles movie.
3. We don't talk about the Mutant Chronicles movie.

The movie was an abomination and never should have been made.
I fnk loved the universe and it was sad they butchered it
The movie wasn't good.i won't base of mutant chronicles.i played the game Sega long time and board game.
