The new Warhammer Quest game Blackstone Fortress is up for Pre-order along with Two new Xeno Commanders for Kill Team!

via Games Workshop

Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress $150

As vast and dark as a sunless void, the Blackstone Fortress is a creation far beyond the ken of any race in the galaxy. In this age of darkness, in a galaxy riven with strife and horror, the desperate and intrepid alike search this Fortress for long-lost technologies that may be used to turn the tide of war.

In Warhammer Quest Blackstone Fortress, you and your friends take on the role of a group of disparate explorers delving into the labyrinthine halls of a vast and ancient space station. Only by working together and balancing your strength and skills can you hope to survive. With each expedition, you will discover powerful archeotech and learn more of the Blackstone Fortress’ closely guarded secrets, including, perhaps, the location of its greatest treasure. The game can be played solo, or with up to 4 friends, with the fifth player controlling the hostiles. At the end of each expedition, the players return to the nearby port city of Precipice to rest, recuperate, and trade their loot for resources that will aid in their next adventure.

READ IT BECAUSE
The full story behind the Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress game is revealed! Join Janus Draik and his crew as they venture into the depths of the fortress and encounter all manner of deadly foes.

THE STORY
There are those in the great expanse of the galaxy that seek profit wherever it is to be found: the deal makers, the opportunists and explorers – the Rogue Traders. Granted power by an ancient charter, sanctioned by the Emperor Himself, these scoundrels, entrepeneurs and adventurers roam the galaxy in search of fortune and glory. None perhaps are as hungry for these twin-vices as Janus Draik. All but disowned by his wealthy family, regarded as a wayward son of ill repute and little potential, Draik knows he must restore his fortunes soon or his misadventures will see him destitute and discarded.

So it is then that when he finds a truly exceptional prize, one that will return him to his deserved station, Draik recruits a crew of fellow treasure seekers and sets them to the task. Draik’s obsession is all-consuming, and he will risk everything to obtain his prize and its many secrets, including his life or even that of his crew…

Kill Team: Nemesis 9 Tyrantis Tyranid Commander Set $35

The bioform codified by the Inquisition as Nemesis 9 Tyrantis is a true horror. It prizes terror so highly it likes to leave one prey-creature from each group of victims alive so they might spread their fear to the common herd of Vigilus like a virus. Nemesis 9 Tyrantis has on more than one occasion been mistaken for the leader of the planet’s Genestealer Cult infestation – however, so long as the Broodlord gets to feed on the minds and bodies of the populace, it cares little for the chatterings of ambulatory biomass.

Add a Commander – a powerful hero character with unique abilities and rules – to your Tyranid kill team with this set. It contains a multipart plastic Broodlord miniature, a set of cards packed with exclusive rules and a sheet of tokens for use in-game:

– A Broodlord: this multipart plastic kit is used to represent Nemesis 9 Tyrantis – or the Commander of any Tyranid kill team you wish – standing atop a chitinous structure, poised ready to strike with his truly horrifying monstrous rending claws, his maw open and showing off rows of sharp fangs
– A datacard for Nemesis 9 Tyrantis, featuring its characteristics, weapons, abilities and specialisms, along with a card featuring his background
– A card featuring Nemesis 9 Tyrantis’ skill tree – Broodlord specialisms which can only be used by that character
– 3 Hive Mind Discipline psychic power cards
– 3 Tyranid Commander Tactics Cards, including 2 Tactics exclusive to this set
– A sheet of tokens for use in games of Kill Team – this includes 1 Move/Charge token, 1 Fall Back/Advance token, 1 Ready/Shoot token, 6 Tactic/psychic power tokens, 3 wound tokens, and 3 objective tokens.

Kill Team: Crasker Matterzhek Genestealer Cults Commander Set $35

Crasker Matterzhek of the Elevated Siblings bears the standard of his kindred, a sacred duty given to him by Primus Desh. The icon of Grandsire Wurm must be seen from the highest vantage point, to boost the rebellion’s morale in this vital hour – with the cult’s most experienced kill team alongside him, Crasker feels sure he will make it to the very tip of the sprawl’s tallest spire. Perhaps he will raise it so high that the Star Children will see him, and grant him the desire he so fervently desires…

Add a Commander – a powerful hero character with unique abilities and rules – to your Genestealer Cults kill team with this set. It contains a multipart plastic Acolyte Iconward miniature, a set of cards packed with exclusive rules and a sheet of tokens for use in-game:

– An Acolyte Iconward: this multipart plastic kit is used to represent Crasker Matterzhek – or the Commander of any Genestealer Cults kill team you wish – armed with an autopistol, blasting charges and rending claws the Iconward clutches his cult’s sacred banner hoisting it aloft to inspire his broodkin to surge forward in a wave of indiscriminate violence
– A datacard for Crasker Matterzhek, featuring his characteristics, weapons, abilities and specialisms, along with a card featuring his background
– A card featuring Crasker Matterzhek’s skill tree – Acolyte Iconward specialisms which can only be used by that character
