@@Eurodance_Groove so, yeah...according to MY taste, I find those Khorne deamons pretty lame. looks like Diablo had kids with Kerrigan, nothing grotesque at all.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
OMG, I have been searching for this game for years! I just wrote a comment in a vid talking about stupid rules.. and thought I'd check youtoomb and here it is! I have the second edit rule book.. but it doesn't look like this one.. only shares some of the art. I had Imperials.. because of the "Blood Berets" and the "Hedgehog Necromower" because it was the only vehicle yet made by the company.. ALL of them were metal... pretty sure i melted them into fishing sinkers >< only if i had of thought about my future hey. The best thing about this game is the way you play on the table top. you select 1 squad.. and it gets 3 actions. then the opponent chooses his 1 squad ect.. I always wondered why people even played WH with it's entire side moving shooting and melee? It made no sense, However it had the models, paints and community and of course.. Warzone disappeared. Also the story behind it is STILL the most likely future scenario for the human race I have ever seen in any sci-fi or fantasy... corporations buying each other out until they own everything except for their competing Mega-Corporations ... Up until they wake up hell.. People are born, live and die in the corporations, similar to the Imperium.
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
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!!
I am from Italy and a fan of the game and the lore of Mutant Chronicles itself... And I noticed that the copy you made the unboxing with is a copy in my language... An italian translated copy of the game and that started my envy towards you!!! I wonder who is the dude which sold this copy to you and how much you have paid for having the copy you show us in the video!!!
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 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.
'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. -Corporal Kieth Bates, Turning Point Cartel 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 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!
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).
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.
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
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
Are you serious? Go check better, my friend... And tell me if the demon of khorne in wh40k is a crap if compared to the mutant chronicle's demons...
@@Eurodance_Groove it is.

May your friend's memory be eternal
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.
It was a great game, contemporary to the Wh40K 2nd edition and in some aspect superior to that due to its D10 base
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
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.
all what I have left from that starter box is the box and the dices
chronopia had d20 as well (chronopia was essentially what wfb was to 40k, but to warzone)
I JUST BOUGHT THE SAME EXACT BOX ON EBAY IN LATE FEBRUARY! X-D
Got lots of these miniatures... Great stuff :)

great game, would have described it more at 40k 2nd edition in a more realistic way than 3rd.
Oh yeah, we used to play it a lot back in the 90's. Much superior to 40k.
