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!!
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

Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress We successfully navigated the approach to the final vault! We’ll see if we can handle the nastyiness inside!
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!
It’s been too long!
Depending on your perspective, we’re either spoiled, or deprived. I know I’ve written about this before, but here we are again. This is more of a comparison to the release of other GW dungeon crawls. We’ve been spoiled for past ten years. GW released five major dungeon crawls in that time. Though… we had all those games in the first seven years, and none since. The Timeline Note: I’m starting with Heroquest and I’m not counting Space Hulk since there isn’t a roleplay aspect to it. Nor am I counting video games or Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, since I don’t play either. So there! I’m also not counting Warhammer Quest: Lost Relics because it’s not a big box release. I’m counting the card game since it effectively relaunched the WHQ franchise. We’re approaching the time gap between Advanced Heroquest and Warhammer Quest. We’ve already blown past Blackstone Fortress to Cursed City.…

Combat Arena: Lair of the Beast Our first try with this iteration. We usually play Gorechosen. We made a bunch of mistakes but still had fun. Next time we’ll fight each other as well as the Ambull.
