Shadows Over Hammerhal Expansions
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 Expansions
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.

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.…
White Dwarf (Grombrindal) Collection Update
I’ve been a fan of the epitomous “White Dwarf” for a long time. My first White Dwarf magazine was issue 138, back in June 1991. Which is right around when I received Heroquest for Christmas. And that wonderful game came with a fellow that bears a striking resemblance to Grombrindal, the White Dwarf on the cover of the magazine. I was hooked. Stuff of Legends has a great page that is nearly up to date. Since then, my collection has grown a bit. This is where it stands so far: The White Dwarf at 90 (Second Iteration) White Dwarf XXX (with Gotrek & Bugmann) The Vampire Hunter Grombrindal The White Dwarf (an oddly simple version) Grombrindal 40 (Space Marine) Grombrindal (the newest iteration) Heroquest Dwarf (honorable mention since he’s not really a WD)
