Warhammer Quest 1995: still the champ
I started writing this post back in 2024 when I found this article on BoLS:
But then, GW remembered the 30th anniversary and landed WHQ on Warhammer TV.
They made a pretty solid post on Warhammer Community: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/hjx3bwqb/celebrate-the-30th-anniversary-of-warhammer-quest-on-warhammer-tv/
It’s great to see WHQ getting some attention all these years later.
What I think is great about WHQ95 (besides EVERYTHING) is that it’s just complex enough. It’s just crunchy enough. It’s roleplay-y enough. It’s a fun game that doesn’t go too overboard in any one direction. You’re not drowning in deck-building with dozens of cards. You’re not forgetting overly-complex multi-phase gameplay mechanics. There’s pretty much one way to win; you have to go through those rooms and I hope you roll well!
I think some other classic games have more active communities, but WHQ is still thriving. Mordheim, Necromunda, and Man O’ War (just kidding, nobody plays Man O’ War) have bigger followings and actual in-person tournaments. But WHQ is still kicking! Just look at those ebay prices!
Sure, I’d be thrilled to see new material from classic WHQ, but that seems unlikely. Still! I love seeing this game in the spotlight again!
