In the land of Muldar, o'er the River Quell,
the Battle Masters fought and many fell.
Great armies marched against an evil power,
to win back the land and the ancient tower.
Battle Masters: the game of Orcs and Ogres, Wolf Riders and more,
versus knights, archers, and the cannon's roar!
Command your armies, you must not fail,
it's good versus evil on an epic scale!
Battle Masters: from the makers of Hero Quest.

So I purchased an almost complete BM set on ebay recently (the missing figures and tile are set to arrive sometime next week), and started in on the repairs.
I plan to print out a sticker sheet (a previous owner had taken some of the stickers and adhered them to the box itself, while a few others are lost completely), while a few just need a little glue to adhere them back to their places.
A few of the figures are actually painted (one imperial knight and two mounts for the Lord Knights, it appears with some enamel type paint (they didn't do a bad job at all, I'll have pictures of that eventually).
I also plan to re-print one of the terrain tiles to repair a torn patch.
Using skills learned from past projects dealing with beat up HeroQuest sets...
First repairs include gluing the ripped sides and corners of the box halves.
Next I'm repairing the broken off (and missing) Goblin Wolf-Rider spears (3).
Repairing a broken Imperial Knight lance, and replacing a missing one.
Repairing a Lord of Chaos lance.
Still to do:
Replace missing Imperial Archer bow half (clone the part?).
Replace missing Imperial Man-At-Arms halberd head (clone the part?).
Future Dream:
Get some EU style Dice.
Actually play the dang game with some friends/family.
PS: There's nothing wrong with the Tower, I just wanted to show it assembled. If you follow the assembly instructions it goes together quite nicely.
