Warhammer Quest: Darkwater
Back in March my local Warhammer store associate (there’s only one. Just one guy) told me not to expect any more Cursed City content, but to keep an eye out for perhaps a new game some time. Looks like he’s pretty much right. We did get Grombrindal in May of 2025, but that’s it. And now we have the announcement for Warhammer Quest: Darkwater! It appears to be in the same vein as Cursed City. Set in the Age of Sigmar. Though I’m holding out judgment until I see the back of the box. Ohh, I’m looking forward to that! No details yet, other than what’s here. Cursed City was available roughly two months after it was announced. I’ve been banging the “there hasn’t been any WHQ this year!” drum for a while now. We’ll see what the timeline and additional details emerge. I’m excited!
Series: Modern Warhammer Quest Expansions
I’m starting a series of posts about all the expansion content for modern Warhammer Quest games. They will appear weekly, in chronological order, starting with the 2015 launch of Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game. Some games are well documented online, others… not so much… I’m looking at you Silver Tower and Shadows Over Hammerhal. But in fairness, those two games came out with an overlapping timeline and when White Dwarf magazine abandoned issue numbers and was only identified by month/year. And, for added confusion, for a time there were weekly editions! A retrospective will conclude the series. Onward!
Happy Warhammer Quest Day!
On this day, 30 years ago, Warhammer Quest held its launch party. Merry Quest day! May you keep the spirit of Warhammer Quest all year long. And here’s to hoping Games Workshop does something fun and interesting with WHQ, we’re overdue!
Follow-up on mini painting priorities
Back in November I revamped my hobby priorities. No more hoarding unassembled models… So now, six months later, I have a bunch of assembled, unpainted models. Which, I actually feel better about that a bunch of stuff still in the box. I can touch and see them, even throw them into a game if I want (sure, that doesn’t happen much, unpainted minis! Eww!). Since I just finished painting everything (except for a few expansion stragglers) for Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower, I don’t have any really pressing hobby demands. So here’s my updated, current priority list: Games workshop display pieces I have a number of nice GW minis that aren’t necessarily ones I’d use in a game. They are however, very cool, in my opinion. These are the minis I’d be sad if I never painted, even if they’re not particularly “useful”. Gotrek, Felix, Grombrindal, and Jakkob Bugmansson XI. Double…
One year of weekly hobby writing
This week marks one year of weekly hobby writing! The well of queued articles waxes and wanes, but I’ve had at least one come out every week for a whole year! The biggest surprise was that if I wasn’t writing about a specific game system or topic, I didn’t know what to do with the post. I’m doing the blog for my own personal enjoyment, but it’s fun having people check it out. So I didn’t know what to do with general hobby musings. I felt bad posting links on Facebook or Reddit because, well, nobody cares. Not in a bad way, but literally nobody cares what I think about where miniature painting fits in the cosmos. So I write those articles, and don’t promote them. No one gets spammed with my continuous posts, and no one reads them. But I said my piece and that’s enough for me. I…
Rogue Trader (My Brother is Awesome)
How awesome is this! I recently turned moderately old, and my world-class brother gave me the hardcover reprint of Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader. This book is so cool. It was absolutely formative in our early adolescence. Love the models from back then. Not only that, he got me a subscription to White Dwarf! Something old and something new!
Which Way? Kickstarter!
I made my own game system! It’s a tiny zine game that can fit in your pocket. All you need is the game booklet, a D12 and a pen/pencil. On this site I’ll provide support and potentially updates depending on demand. I hope everyone enjoys playing the game as much as I enjoyed making it! The game is available here, in the store: https://cutandassemble.com/product/which-way
2023 Hobby Update
So if you can’t tell, the One Page Rules review is on hold. Turns out my FEP was totally shot in the middle and I was getting lots of failed prints. At first I though it was an issue with the minis/supports/etc. because I hadn’t really been having issues. But yup, the FEP was scratched up so badly right in the center that it stopped anything from sticking to the build plate. So after getting that changed out I was back in business! Though that’s when I shifted to Warhammer Quest minis almost entirely. Oh yeah, and we also moved practically everything in our house. We shifted the use of half the rooms in the house. Swapped, moved, disassembled, reassembled and we’re pretty much almost done with that. It felt like moving, but moving into the same house again. Did I mention that I have my very own game-space in…
Hello world!
I’m launching this webstore as a hobby, we’ll see where it goes!
A long time in the making
My page about DIY Warhammer Quest is now live. It’s not so much about the set I made, but a consolidation of resources to Print and Play WHQ at home. I have to admit, I’m a bit conflicted about posting this stuff. I don’t own the rights to any of it and almost none of it I actually created myself. But I put a TON of hours into the files making all the print layouts work. I’m especially proud of all the hounding I put into the character expansion booklets. But at the same time, GW doesn’t even make games like this any more, much less this actual one. It’s nearly 30 years old! The only people making money off this game are eBay sellers. Oh, to have more than a handful of original pieces! So check it out, it’s right here:
