Description Edit | History

Battle Masters is a fantasy miniatures battle game by Milton Bradley, presumably licensed from Games Workshop. The sizeable game box comes stuffed with tons of plastic miniatures, a deck of combat cards and some dice. Players move and fight their armies based upon what card is turned over from the deck. Combat is held on a large vinyl mat 4.5 ft square (Actual Measurements: 55 inches by 57 inches).

From the back of the box:

Welcome to the world of Battle Masters - the epic game where you command mighty armies locked in a legendary conflict of good versus evil!

The noble Imperial Army is ready to meet the Forces of Chaos. You and your opponent must strategically guide 25 army units, featuring over 100 finely-detailed figures, across the gigantic 4 1/2' X 5' Battle Mat. Beware! Ditches, marshes, river fords and the great Border Tower lie before you.

The battle unfolds as each turn of a Battle card tells which army units can move and which can attack. Will your army be victorious, or will your opponent destroy you? Who will survive the battle and win the game? The fate of the Empire is decided by you, the Battle Masters!

2 Battle Masters-HOTT translation
Version 1.0. Alternative rules for Battle Masters using combat system based on Hordes Of The Things (HOTT). I recently played a game of Battle Masters with my son. Good fun - I love the pieces and the mat - but I'm not a big fan of the combat system or the initiative cards. In particular, some units such as the Beastmen and the Chaos Archers seem to hardly move to all. Later on that day I was finishing off some figures for a 25mm Hordes Of The Things (HOTT) army and a thought struck me; why not try and translate HOTT combat rules for use with Battle Masters? With that in mind I've posted an initial translation set of HOTT on to Battle Master rules. Still in play test, so I'd appreciate any comments/feedback. You need a copy of Battle Masters to play ;)
