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.

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…

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…

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!

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…

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

Shadows Over Hammerhal came out in 2017 and is the least well documented of any of the WHQ games. This is probably the most under-the-radar game in the WHQ family.  Board Game Geek has only a few hundred game-plays logged. The 1 vs Many version of RPG is somewhat less popular among the WHQ crowd that gravitates towards GM-less games. Internet chatter about these games really seemed to have dropped off in 2017, I was surprised to learn about the additional adversaries available in White Dwarf, that weren’t included in the card sets, and don’t seem to really exist online either.  I’ll try to track them down if I can. The expansions are largely compatible with Silver Tower, though the scenarios are Hammerhal specific.  There are no Hammerhal specific expansion boxes, books, or minis. Only White Dwarf content. I’ve included all the White Dwarf magazines because the heroes and monsters…

Silver Tower came out in 2016 and offers several interesting expansions. The rebirth of Warhammer Quest in the Age of Sigmar universe. We’ve played some Silver Tower and have really enjoyed it. There’s a large variety of heroes and monsters to add into the game and shares basic mechanics with all of its successors. I’ve included all the White Dwarf magazines that were released for Silver Tower and Shadows Over Hammerhal since the heroes and monsters overlap.

The Warhammer Quest Adventure Card Game came out in 2015. Ending a 20 year drought in WHQ games, and a 15 year stretch with no WHQ content at all. A fun, but perplexing game with not one, but two scattershot rulebooks. It was a hairball for us to learn. We finished the in-box campaign, and only slightly bent the rules – allocating mandatory wounds (nemesis effects, etc) to characters strategically rather than evenly. We didn’t shirk any wounds, we just gave them to heroes that could survive it. There are only two small “official” expansions. Which is a shame because this is the most easily expanded WHQ game of the lot. All you need is a handful of cards and you’re rolling. Rolling in an unending spiral of undefendable and ever accelerating accumulation of wounds. But in a mostly fun way. There are plenty of fan expansions though, just search…

Not a ton of hobbying going on this summer, but I put a couple of models together:
