White Dwarf
Just because this is short, doesn’t mean that it’s low effort! I went through all of my White Dwarf magazines (old and new!) and took note of everything I found interesting. There’s so much content published, I’m going to start losing track of which issue is what. It’s now available above, in the “Blog” menu. I’ll to my best to keep it updated, but, sometimes it’s tough to keep up on everything. So no promises.
What’s on the Table?!
Warhammer Quest 1995 We played an abbreviated Little Monk adventure, available here: https://bwarhammerquestcustomized.runboard.com/t393 Castle of Darkness! I talked about this last year, but didn’t quite make it on the table. Here’s the minis that we used. It was a lot of fun. I messed some stuff up, but we all liked it.
More Darkwater News
I’m late with updates because I can only do hobby stuff on nights and weekends, but here’s the latest leaks! What happened in the last couple days? A blurry pre-release photo leaked out: So GW tried to get ahead of the story with a post on Warhammer-Community. They put a good spin on it and offered to reveal more into about a single character based on a poll. These are the choices: I voted for the dwarf, but the knight won. I don’t mind, he’s pretty cool. But I think the biggest news (division) is the board pictured above. It looks like a map-book. My knee jerk reaction was that I didn’t like it. It looks very unimpressive. There’s hardly any components pictured. What precisely are we getting for what I can only guess will be $250 US. With a map-book, that means that there’s no more exploration aspect to…
What’s on the Table?!
Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress We beat The Hidden Vault! Some Guardsmen were vaporized several times and we didn’t take too much damage. BSF was a lot of fun, I think it took us years to actually beat the whole box… I just checked, August 2023 is the first photo I have of Blackstone Fortress on the table. I finished painting the set in November of that year. So a little over two years of playing. We’ve now finished the core boxes to Cursed City and Blackstone Fortress. We’ve probably played all the adventures out of the ’95 Questbook, though Warhammer Quest ’95 never truly ends! So what’s next? Not sure. Maybe Darkwater? I’d like to play more Cursed City. There’s some ’95 Quest adventures I’d like to get to as well. Also Silver Tower. Too many good options!!
Warhammer Quest Expansions: The Retrospective
Wow, there’s really a lot out there for all these games. The most common thing I read online about this stuff is that there isn’t enough. But wow, there’s really a ton. Even Cursed City, that seemed to get the short-straw of support really has a lot of content. Here’s every White Dwarf with Cursed City content: It’s 2025 and we’re not quite half way through Nightwars. People also complain that they want but can’t get the expansions. That is disappointing. They go quick and aren’t produced in surplus. If I have an issue, having only participated in the Cursed City support cycle, it’s that expansions come too closely together. It’s 2025 and we’re not quite half way through Nightwars. We didn’t have time to digest anything before more material hit the streets. Also, with Cursed City, Games Workshop broke an unwritten covenant with Warhammer Quest fans: Expansions shall come…
Warhammer Quest: Darkwater – Early Thoughts and Observations
A few interesting things about Darkwater in these early, early days. Descriptive text from GW We’ve really only see the cover art and a couple blurbs. A couple blurbs you say? Indeed. There are two pages up with (minimal) info about WHQ:DW. The most widely circulated link is the Warhammer Community post: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/b7qzhmxz/announcing-warhammer-quest-darkwater/ Evil lurks in the dark, there’s something in the water, and the whole of Ghyran is under threat.It’s probably time to gather together a band of heroes, renegades, and misfits, and go on a Quest…That’s right! An all-new Warhammer Quest game, set in the Mortal Realms of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.What perils await our group of intrepid adventurers within the ruins of the Jade Abbey? However, there is also a Start Warhammer page up: https://start-warhammer.com/darkwater Warhammer Quest: Darkwater is a thrilling cooperative dungeon-crawling board game set in the world of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. You and up…
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!
Cursed City Expansions
The Cursed City core box came out in 2021, and I’m not going to say any more about that. Welcome back to October! My favorite month! Cooler temperatures, spooky movies, Halloween, autumn ales, and of course… Cursed City! It was followed by a number of expansions and additions. It can be tough to keep up with everything that is released after a game hits the market, especially when a list is started while content is still coming out. The internet is littered with incomplete contemporary Warhammer Quest lists. The good news is that nothing new will ever come out for Cursed City. That’s sarcasm. It’s horrible. This is the first year since 2015 that there hasn’t been new Warhammer Quest content. Sad! This is the first edition of WHQ that I’ve acquired at the initial release. I didn’t buy 1995 because it was expensive, I was still feeling the disappointment…
What’s on the Table?!
Dungeon! This is in the family’s stable of games, but oddly, I’d never played it. Until today! Fun and kinda silly.
Blackstone Fortress Expansions
Blackstone Fortress came out in November of 2018 and is the best documented modern WHQ game. Fans were ready and waiting for this game, rightfully so, it’s awesome. A big thanks goes out to the guys over at reddit that put 99% of this together. Big Box Expansions Small Box Expansions Card Expansions Miscellany White Dwarf Magazine Blackstone Fortress Fiction
