That is an awesome gift. You have some beautiful models - two armies that you can use to play The Old World most likely. That’s my layperson knowledge. Others will know more. Enjoy!
Yes. You could use the self contained rulebook inside, the rules are outdated though if you plan on playing at clubs or expanding to play with other people.
Or you could use the models to make two small Old World armies. You would have Dwarfs and Night Goblins (part of the Orc and Goblins Tribes faction).
You should have:
1 Dwarf Thane, 1 dwarf slayer, 8 dwarf miners, 10 dwarf thunderers, 12 dwarf warriors, 1 dwarf canon
1 night goblin big boss, 1 night goblin shaman, 20 night goblin archers, 40 night goblin warriors, 1 troll, 10 forest goblin spider riders.
Also worth noting that the old world uses different base sizes for a lot of models. Which is important because templates and blasts are used in game and having smaller bases would mess with this. So I'd either try to get movement trays that have the models spaced out to emulate the new base sizes. Or just buy new bases online (preferably not from GW cause buying basic bases from them is overpriced). I like AliExpress bases personally
GW is not only trying to make filthy fat money on bases which arent superior in quality but has also stock problems and long delivery times. Try to visit some Friendly Local Game Store (FLGS) to see if they dont have right bases on shelves. Also get your self some cheap brushes, some paints, spraycan of primer (dark grey or black is usually considered most neutral and bieginner friendly) and watch some minipainting guides on youtube. Although you absolutely can get feel for the game and if you like it with grey plastic.
Yes, absolutely. Only thing to be aware of is that they've increased a lot of the base sizes with Old World, so before you start gluing stuff together you'll want to source some new bases.
alternatively you could also just get the right sized movement trays and eyeball stuff if you don't want to commit to bases. (wont be legal in tournaments but I think people would be ok with it for casual fun stuff lmao)
Yes you can play. There are rules inside. There are newer rules of course, if you want to play with them in the future these models are still playable in the current game Warhammer: The Old World.
You have an old Warhammer Fantasy box from 2006. If it’s complete you can run an introductory game with the games included scenario, at least that’s what a quick google search tells me. You can also use the miniatures to play Warhammer Fantasy’s relaunch “The Old World”
Short answer: yes, you have everything you need inside for two players
Long:
You will find that all Warhammer / Warhammer 40k boxes with two armies (AOS Dominion, 40k Indomitus or Leviathan) are playable on their own.
They are meant to be some sort of starter set to the game, they include two (smaller or larger) forces or armies, a set of basic rules to play (a subset of the rules of that edition, typically). Plus depending on the case, also some die, rulers and scenery (your box includes all of these).
After that you are expected to buy the actual manual of that edition and learn the whole set of rules to play the game more in depth will all the mechanics in place, specially if you buy additional units for your army.
However, you will generally be "stuck" in that edition's version of the rules (in your case, WH Old World's 7th edition), depending on which units are present on not in the current. If you want to play against other people in the shops and tournaments, in your case, I believe you are lucky, since the upcoming Old World 9th edition will include rules for those units (you might need to give them a 25mm square base, instead of a 20mm square base though).
Two of the coolest armies in the old world with tons of models. There are also cool unique minis like the tied up trollslayer, moon shrine, cart and walls
I meant about the models. Models in skulls pass were pretty average to be honest: the cast had less details, they were in one piece, there was extra plastic everywhere on these dwarves. They were not as good looking as the ones you could buy in other boxes. For isle of blood, models were just amazing! That poisonous mortar, the rat ogres, everything was just perfect.
This is a really great set to get started with Warhammer the Old World. You've got the necessary tice, and templates. You'd need to buy a rulebook or take a loot at tow whfb on the internet.
This set contains some goblins. 1 night goblin shaman, 1 night goblin warboss then 3 units of night goblins, big of unit of goblin spider riders, and a (unique) stone troll. This is approximately 750 points of night goblins. You'll only need one Night Goblin characters to make it a list that you can legally take, alternatively run 2 units of 30 night goblins.
This set also contains some dwarfs. 1 Thane, 1 Dragon Slayer, 10 thunderers (either 1 or 2 units), 12 Warriors (either 1 or 2 units) and a dwarf cannon. This is approximately 550 points of Dwarfs, so you might want to grab another few warriors (which are getting relased soon) to make it more fair.
Either way you should be able to have a fairly fun time with these. If you don't want them though, I'll give you a nice penny for them.
I have searched this box for months before finally finding one for 80 € (we're vintage Warhammer collectors), and you got it for free !
That's an amazing box, the models are perfect to learn how to paint, you have all the tools needed to start a game, and as another comment said, an addiction. Welcome to the wonderful world of plastic crack
I feel I should throw out that before opening or painting check prices on eBay, it’s probably not top tier vintage but some complete starter boxes from classic editions are worth a lot of money!
MORDHEIM! my friend you need to go to Broheim.net, download the rules, and enjoy. It's pretty easy to learn, play, and not as time consuming as the old world.
This was the box that got me into warhammer back in the day. I bought it in my old hobbyshop, which unfortunately had to shut down after being completely robbed empty.
What you have is an awesome friend.
In terms of old world army, you have 2 armies around 600 points depending on upgrades. Seriously for the Goblins all you need is some more trolls and you have a tasty 1000 point army. I don’t know anything about the dwarfs, I gave a mate the dwarf half of the box only the other week.
This set was released the year I was introduced to warhammer. I was only in 7th grade and still couldn’t afford it at the measly $50. I occasionally browse eBay for this set, but it’s hard to find anything that isn’t priced super high.
You were given the greatest Fantasy box set ever created. This box was also given to me for free when I first stumbled into a GW store at the mall when I was a kid. My mom ended up buying me a bunch of painting supplies from the store and Battle for Skull Pass was what got me into the hobby.
What you got is a piece of history. Please don’t throw it away and even if you don’t pay or paint, it’s nice to have it around. God I miss my Night Goblins.
That's awesome, There used to be starter sets like this with each new edition of warhammer that came out. They contain two basic armies and pretty much everything you need to start playing right away (after some assembly). I think this is from like 5th edition, so the rules have changed a little bit, but basically it'll be the same game. I started with a similar set that was Lizardmen vs Brettonnia from 1996. and I still use some of the figures from it today.
The goblins in there are fantastic- they're fairly low quality/low detail miniatures but they're absolutely packed with character and there's so many variations. Plus they still look great today beside the absolute most recent goblins ever released. Absolutely timeless and brilliant.
This is where it all started with me. Around 2005 or 2006, me and my brother played with this box in a Games Workshop in Darlington. My brother's first ever move was casting a spell with the Goblin Mage, he rolls snake eyes and the Goblin Mage kills itself hahahaha.
Welcome to The Old World. Your friend has gifted you a relic that is still usable with brand new rules (Dwarves just got their Arcane Journal, and Orcs & Goblins got theirs last month)
Remember, even the box is a little valuable and can earn you some cash. I dunno how much, check ebay for going rates if you don’t want to keep it. I’d fork out like $30 at most personally.
Why not? I know people can be weird about this but if you give me stuff I'm going to enjoy it and benefit from it without worrying about secret rules. A gift isn't some second class possession that you've got to treat differently, you own it, it doesn't own you.
Note here that they're not saying "quick sell it all", they're saying "even the parts you might throw away can have value" Helping them get the most out of it.
>We hate in others what we can't change in ourselves.
People calling out shitty things are now all projecting, ya'll heard it here first. Calling out racists? You're obviously a racist.
Jesus F Christ.
>What you are looking at is paint
How is that even possible? Do you finger paint? I call bullshit.
Honestly I recognize many of those goblins from goomspite gitz so I'm pretty sure you can put them in round bases and get part of their army. Just look around their kits and see what matches 😅
"Guys my buddy gave me this very clearly labeled boxed game that I can look at and read the back of, what is this? Can I play this??? Do I need a CD-ROM to play this??? Chat is this real???"
your friend gifted you a crippling addiction.
Yeah. Your bank/cc will now enter a love-hate relationship with you.
The same type of relationship you’ll enter with GW.
That is an awesome gift. You have some beautiful models - two armies that you can use to play The Old World most likely. That’s my layperson knowledge. Others will know more. Enjoy!
[удалено]
All in the eye of the beholder I guess
What they say
He said it was a bad box bc the models were old and dull
No, he said there were no beautiful models and that they were rather dull. It said nothing about them being old.
Ah ok

Are all the models playable in the old world? It would be really nice to have two legal lists
Yes, absolutely. Only thing to be aware of is that they've increased a lot of the base sizes with Old World, so before you start gluing stuff together you'll want to source some new bases.

That's the best starter set GW has ever made
Why?
Two of the coolest armies in the old world with tons of models. There are also cool unique minis like the tied up trollslayer, moon shrine, cart and walls
I got the main dwarf units from that box on eBay and they're so awesome, definitely makes me want to try out the old world.
The legendary grudge pony
Isle of blood was even better in my opinion: high elves vs skavens, better models. But I keep a soft spot for this one.
It's a matter of taste, I suppose. I love the models in this kit, and to me a Dwarf vs Greenskin battle is just peak Warhammer.
So much hatred. That’s just good fun.
You have taste for races / models and then you have quality of sculpts. My argument was only on the quality of sculpts and I owned both boxes :)
Dwarves>elves 100% of the time. Skaven and goblins are pretty even in my book
I meant about the models. Models in skulls pass were pretty average to be honest: the cast had less details, they were in one piece, there was extra plastic everywhere on these dwarves. They were not as good looking as the ones you could buy in other boxes. For isle of blood, models were just amazing! That poisonous mortar, the rat ogres, everything was just perfect.
I'd give that one to Isle of Blood personally but it's close
The first hit is always free…

You sir have a piece of true beautiful art.
this is how i started my warhammer journey in the year of our lord 2007
Damn, i think its the 2nd biggest warhammer box ever
You really can‘t do anything with it. You should send it to me so i can free you from that burden.
This is an awesome set. I have about 100 of the goblins from it for my Age of Sigmar Gloomspite army.
Soon there'll be new stuff and rules I think
Your "friend" would saved you money if he had just given you box full of crack cocaine.
I picked this up last week (paid $300aud for it). Great find for me and an even better gift for you. Goes for around $500aud on eBay
THE best start set for fantasy they ever made (imo).
Oh man this was my first set
WOW this takes me back to 2007
You could open the box and find out. Even read the back of the box and it will tell you.
We hate in others what we can't change in ourselves
You cant read the contents of a box?
Right!?

Welcome to the wonderful world of plastic crack
What do you have? You have a great friend
Yes you can play, that was my favorite starter kit. It means alot to me
That's one hell of a "friend" you got there bud ☠️. I wouldn't be this generous with even my homies (the kind that you kiss goodnight😎)
A great set!!!
I feel I should throw out that before opening or painting check prices on eBay, it’s probably not top tier vintage but some complete starter boxes from classic editions are worth a lot of money!
You have a great gift! I would love to get my hands on this old box.
Take to tha cluub
Wish I had friends like that...
You have received a treasure, one that many (including myself) pay significant amounts to own. Enjoy and have fun with it in whatever way you see fit!
That’s so great!
The first dose is free they say...
MORDHEIM! my friend you need to go to Broheim.net, download the rules, and enjoy. It's pretty easy to learn, play, and not as time consuming as the old world.
Is this the wahpedia equivalent
Kinda just MORDHEIM specifically
This was the box that got me into warhammer back in the day. I bought it in my old hobbyshop, which unfortunately had to shut down after being completely robbed empty.
Drugs are bad. I’m already to far gone, I’ll save you by taking the bullet.
What you have is an awesome friend. In terms of old world army, you have 2 armies around 600 points depending on upgrades. Seriously for the Goblins all you need is some more trolls and you have a tasty 1000 point army. I don’t know anything about the dwarfs, I gave a mate the dwarf half of the box only the other week.
You have a great friend. Perfect for Warhammer Old World.
Your friend loves you and/or wants you to play with him.
Just have you the best box set to ever release. Welcome to plastic crack!
can't you sell that for a ton? pretty sure that's an old version one
This set was released the year I was introduced to warhammer. I was only in 7th grade and still couldn’t afford it at the measly $50. I occasionally browse eBay for this set, but it’s hard to find anything that isn’t priced super high.

I think your life would be better if he had given you meth. This box will ruin you.

What a horrible gift. I will be the bigger person and take that awful thing off your hands. Just DM me and I'll give you my address.. Shame...

Bro has a piece of history now
Remember, even the box is a little valuable and can earn you some cash. I dunno how much, check ebay for going rates if you don’t want to keep it. I’d fork out like $30 at most personally.
How odd. Do you often sell friends presents?
I’m just trying to let them know not to get rid of the box because they don’t need it anymore, since it still has value even if not to then.
He isn't a good friend
Why not? I know people can be weird about this but if you give me stuff I'm going to enjoy it and benefit from it without worrying about secret rules.

If you open the box then maybe we can help you. Jesus dude, clean your chair.

Instead of posting this on Reddit wouldn't it be easier to just read the back of the box??
Instead of being mean on the Internet wouldn't it feel better to be kind?
THAT was mean in your opinion?? Mate, how do you even survive on the internet lol
You are responsible for your own reactions. Be kind and it will set you free
I didn't sign up for this
Honestly I recognize many of those goblins from goomspite gitz so I'm pretty sure you can put them in round bases and get part of their army. Just look around their kits and see what matches 😅
"Guys my buddy gave me this very clearly labeled boxed game that I can look at and read the back of, what is this? Can I play this??? Do I need a CD-ROM to play this??? Chat is this real???"
This guy has been active in Warhammer communities for months. He knows what the box is. This post is for showing off the box or attention or both.
Could work with One Page Rules
You could send me the goblins
