There’s nothing in it that BattleLore veterans won’t already know, but I wrote up An Introduction to BattleLore for the blog of the Australian games retailer Games Paradise. It’s a nice little primer for those who have yet to discover the joys of playing Battlelore. Check it out!
The Hill Giant and the Earth Elemental are gone, but you can still grab a full set of core game figures and a spare set of heroes. Selling in Australian dollars but I’ll ship worldwide—just contact me for a quote.
Sorry to use the site for a bit of advertising—but then again, it is my site after all! ;)
I’m selling some of my spare BattleLore figures on eBay, including some original, still-packaged promo figures—grab ‘em now to extend your armies or have all the spares you’ll ever need!

A very happy Xmas to all of you who visit BattleLoreMaster.com. 2009 could be a big year for BattleLore now that Fantasy Flight Games has taken over, and I think we can all finally rest assured that it won’t be too long before we get our hands on that long-awaited Heroes expansion!
Stick with us here during the quiet times because we’ll still be going strong when things pick up again…
Good health and happiness—and good gaming—to you all!
For you French BattleLore players, way back here we mentioned a very nicely designed French site detailing a BattleLore campaign world. The first part of this campaign is now available on the creator’s forum here.
Have a look at the new dice for colour blind users in the latest edition of BattleLore. Subtle helmet markings help to differentiate the helmet colours.
In between games of BattleLore you may want to check out Days of Wonder’s new game Colosseum, which is now on game store shelves.

It’s somewhat off-topic (though appropriate for C&C: Ancients players), but while waiting for BattleLore if you feel like a taste of historical mass combat and some pretty astounding visuals, check out the new trailer for 300, the new film based on the Frank Miller graphic novel about the Battle of Thermopylae. More information about the film here. Directed by Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead), the film stars Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, David Wenham, Vincent Regan, Rodrigo Santoro and Dominic West and will be released in March next year.
