Blackstone Fortress: No Respite Expansion Unboxing & Review

[@fanglespangle110]

6 months later and this box is out of production. I had no idea this even existed. Luckily, it looks like there's nothing some coloured counters and cheap minis can't fix. Just need to sort some cards out. Cheers for the video!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Yeah, this one vanished very quickly. I think it was a very short production run. Thanks for watching.

[@TheDungeonDive]

Great video! With you covering BSF and me covering the original and Silver Tower in this much detail, we have Warhammer Quest under control on KZbin! ;) My group is playing through Shadows Over Hammerhal right now and we are loving it. I plan on doing a video on it as well. I’m not sure if I’ll cover BSF I’m detail since you’ve got that on lock!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Shadows Over Hammerhal is fantastic. I did some coverage of it back in the day, when I was new to KZbin and the game was getting a bit of support from GW. I do hope they bring out another version of it at some point, as I would happily jump back in if they did!

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring People keep claiming they want a modern day Heroquest, and SOH is it, and most people totally slept on it. It's dead simple, super fun, and super thematic - all of the things that people love about HQ.

[@tomburnett8091]

Finished my first expedition today and destroyed one of the nodes. I think the afflictions and plagues are a great addition to change things up a bit. Admittedly I didn't encounter the new enemies until the node itself but that will probably not be the case next time.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Glad to hear you're having fun. I haven't had a chance to play the expansion yet.

[@TinyDiodes]

Stage 6 of Chronopox seems really weird to me, it's almost less threatening at stage six being that it only causes damage if your character has no wounds when prior it doesn't matter if they have wounds. I would imagine that late in the game most of your characters would have wounds and if not it only effects them once as long as they dont heal.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

It's because if you were getting an auto-wound every single activation round you would almost certainly die. In the early stages it's a random chance. But yes, it does feel like it goes a bit easy on you at the end. This almost seems to fit thematically with the chronopox time dilation though - later in the gestation period it's actually less virulent than in the early stages.

[@fumarc4501]

I really like how they’ve expanded on the minor xenos in Blackstone fortress. The Jokaero architecture is the icing on the cake. Wish I could get my hands on a copy. Oh well.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

[@DustyLamp]

Solid non-biased review mate. You've convinced me to pick it up eventually, like in 7 months when its up with a discount or something.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thanks. I think it definitely has more content than Dreaded Ambull or Traitor Command. It's a shame about the choice of miniatures, because otherwise I think it would be the one I recommend the most out of those three, despite some areas where I think there was room for improvement.

[@mythrando]

Hey Dusty, sorry if you already know this, but I'd be careful with GW products and waiting for discounts. They tend not to go down in price (at least anywhere I've seen) very often. More often than not at some point, they just disappear from shelves without much warning.

[@DustyLamp]

@@mythrando The online outlet I use tend to list gw products for 15-20% off fairly often, so I'm not too worried. And if the product disappears with no warning well..Id chalk that up as gws loss more than mine. Plenty of other things to spend $70 on.

[@andrewmarconi5738]

Sawbone Station, it was talked about in Escalation and it's here in No Respite (it's kinda a Respite though). Ohh I love this, love this! Jokaero! Jokaero! Jokaero! Also love how Blackstone keeps using the Explorers as Antibodies/Medicine/Probiotics! Spoiler of the Darius Hinks book: Also just wanted to say, you have your wants. Though for some of us we'd rather not have choatic mututations on the explorers we are part of, especially beneficial. Though I do want to see more Narative too. Both in game and just storyline. Both for Blackstone, I'm stating it. I think this is The Will of Eternal, I call him Will or Wilhelm. As above Spoiler about the Darius Hinks book, the Daemon Fluxus got it wrong, it isn't Old Unfathomable, this Blackstone Fortress feels he is a he. At least that's what I'm seeing so far. Also going to put it out there, have you tried to do conversion on the hostile cards? I've been thinking about doing such, both for some conversions for the Blackstone Game, and also for the Hostiles. I want more Narrative!

[@Alittlefruitgoesalongway]

Hey, a couple of questions here. I know that Escalation is required to play this because of the tiles, but if I were to get this and Escalation at the same time, would playing this first mess with the story, or does this not rely too heavily on sequencing or following up the events of Escalation? I have similar questions for Traitor Command and Dreaded Ambull, as in if I decide to get them later after Escalation, would I be missing out on story sequencing or can they kind of be separate one off adventures? I currently have the base game and the two small card expansions Endless Peril and Advanced Arsenal. I really like the idea of painting the nurgle guys a darker theme like they are corrupted traitor guardsmen or chaos space marines, and I like the creepy zombie/diseased feel they could give the game, so I kind of want to jump into that but if you think it's worth waiting till after I eventually go through the earlier expansions then I may hold off on it. Any suggestions would be great, thanks! I loved the video by the way!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thanks for watching. Lots to unpack there! So... The game does follow a narrative and the intention seems to be to play the expansions in sequence. However, the main "arc" comprises the base game and then Escalation (which immediately follows on from the events of the base game). You shouldn't play Escalation until you've completed the base game. The other expansions sort of "fill out" the narrative and create more intrigue and help to combine the Blackstone Fortress into the main 40K timeline. Those expansions are really to show that there are lots of other forces all swarming toward the Fortress, and that there are also native inhabitants that have a part to play. However, it should be noted that the Dreaded Ambull almost forms a "two-part" story with the Ambull mission from White Dwarf / the 2019 Annual. In the Dreaded Ambull expansion you learn of the Ambull's existence, and then in the follow up mission you have to lure it out. But really, as long as you complete the base game, and don't play Escalation until you have done so, I think you can really tackle the rest in any order. (By the way, I have painted up some Death Guard in dark "Blackstone Fortress" colours.)

[@Alittlefruitgoesalongway]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Awesome, thank you so much for the quick rundown! I really appreciate it. I'll play through the base game and finish that, and then I will probably get Escalation next and play through that before getting the other smaller expansions. I'm still interested in all of them eventually, but I will have to pick and choose for now based on available time and money. So I'm glad that I can follow the main arc with just Escalation and go from there based on what I'm most interested in at the time. For my nurgle chaos marines and pox walkers I will probably try to give their armor or clothes something similar to what their traitor versions would wear, and then differentiate them by making their mutations and wounds look a bit blighted and gross. I think I would like that better than the standard pale green that GW gives plague marines. I think I like the idea that these marines were and are in the process of getting corrupted, so they still resemble normal chaos space marines. Plus a darker look would make them a bit spookier, as they shamble through the fortress. Anyway, thanks again!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

@@Alittlefruitgoesalongway No worries. Escalation is definitely the essential expansion if you want to continue expanding the game. Do be careful though. GW have a habit of letting expansion products go out of print, and often they never come back, so make sure you keep an eye on that!

[@nilsbosman4356]

I was wondering if you are aware of the 3d printed terrain tiles from Dragons Rest. If you are, what are your thoughts about it? I am on the brinck of buying them myself but am still in doubts. Cheers

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I haven't seen them in person, but have seen pictures. I think they look great, and a lot of people will really appreciate the added visual element, but they're not for me. They add extra set-up time, which is already a bit of a drag in this game, and they look like they are going to get in the way of placing models on the tiles. It's more stuff you need to worry about storing (when you have as many miniatures games as me, that's always a concern), and you're going to need to buy more every time a new expansion comes out that has new terrain elements, which is just more money for an already expensive game. Also, I have a lot of things I want and would rather put my hobby cash into that. I wouldn't want to dissuade anybody from buying them if they think they will enjoy them, but like I say, not something that interests me.

[@mythrando]

Thank you for the review. I've just picked up Blackstone Fortress. I have the annual and the Dreaded Ambull expansion. After watching this I definitely want to pick up Escalation and No Respite. I'm curious if you feel that Traitor Command is still worth picking up? You mentioned that Escalation is needed to make No Respite useful. Is Traitor Command necessary for any other expansion? What I'm wondering is how much I miss out on not getting Traitor Command. Thank you for any thoughts!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thanks for watching. Traitor Command is the odd duck in the set, really. Apart from GW mentioning the ogryn is a powerful enemy useful for throwing against the "army of one" characters they have published in White Dwarf (and the annual), they have never really made any other reference to that expansion since it launched. You don't need it for any other expansion, and it's a pretty self-contained adventure with just a few hints in the fluff as to how it all links into a larger narrative. It's also the simplest expansion, with a single mission that involves running around collecting data slates from enemies you kill and then using those data slates to access a single stronghold encounter. The miniatures are fantastic, and the new enemies are a welcome addition (it's nice to have a big enemy that occasionally pops up for a fight), but of all the boxed releases, it has the least value in my eyes. It is worth pointing out that it looks like the small card packs for Blackstone Fortress are already out of print, and Ambull and Traitor Command were the first boxed expansions, so they may vanish sooner than anything else. If you want a complete collection, keep that in mind! You may already know, but I've done reviews of all the expansions on my channel. You might want to check out my coverage of Traitor Command to see if you think it's something you might like to add.

[@mythrando]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Thank you much! I've watched the review! I'll just go ahead and order for it now. I did see the small card packs are out of print. Kinda sad about missing those, but that's the GW life :)

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

@@mythrando You're welcome. You aren't missing much with the cards. They are the weakest expansions, and the only one I feel really added to the game was the Advanced Arsenal deck with new resource items.

[@popburnsy3207]

If they do an annual for Blackstone Fortress @ year-end/next year, do you think we'll see all the stats etc for these in the next one?

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

The annuals are mainly to compile content from White Dwarf magazine (with a few bits of new content added as a purchase incentive for those people who already have the magazines). The first annual didn't include any content from expansions, and I wouldn't expect the next one (if they do one) to have that sort of content either.

[@popburnsy3207]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring I get that the annual was primarily previously shown White Dwarf material. But, I was wondering just due to the fact that these are otherwise easily attainable models that they might get the same sort of consideration as annual material. It just seems like an easy feature to add to the annual given 1) how common these models are and 2)how easily they could have done this expansion as a White Dwarf article as opposed to a somewhat pricey expansion

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I really don't see it happening, I'm afraid. I actually don't believe they could have done this as a White Dwarf article, and I think that's selling this expansion a bit short. There's a fair bit of content here, and there's no way they were going to include all the affliction cards, medical marvel cards, encounter cards, tokens and cards for tracking the spread of the diseases, new Precipice tiles, new enemies, four strongholds and a special reward envelope in a magazine. Not even as something to photocopy and print out. It's way too substantial for that, and they would want a decent return on the time they invested. But who knows? Maybe one day they will do an enemy card pack like they did for Shadows Over Hammerhal, making it easier for people to drop in miniatures from their collection without buying the expansions.

[@jonnixon249]

Just wondering where you are with this game? I. e. Completed base game mission or not, on the small expansions or escalation? Have you stuck with the same explorers all the way through? Etc. It might be an answer for your website tho!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I'm pretty much up to date. I haven't done the Annual content and the newer White Dwarf content. I play solo and like to mix up the explorers. I do like the crusader, but tend not to bother with Rein and Raus.

[@jamesmccardle2638]

Nice review, do you think there will be an add on for this expansion? If not I can't think that they missed an opportunity to include the Malignant Plague caster to this expansion, like you the models included are a disappointment but not a deal breaker, last but not least do you think 6 Poxwalkers are enough?

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

It appears to be a completely self-contained mission (with the usual Easter eggs and threads that link into a larger narrative), so I don't think they will expand it. However, an adversary card pack that allows people to add other enemies to their games isn't beyond the realm of possibilities as they have done that in the past. As for poxwalkers... I guess, yes and no. They have an ability that makes it much easier for them to respawn (it halves the reinforcement roll), so they do have a bit of a swarm mechanism baked in which makes them seem more numerous. However, one of the six poxwalkers blows up after each attack it makes, and if you draw two poxwalker encounter cards it's very likely that six models won't be enough to fill both hostile groups so I don't think you'll ever feel like there's a truly overwhelming horde approaching. Also, in one of the strongholds there's a special rule where guardsmen and cultists may rise from the dead as a poxwalker. You're supposed to use slain poxwalkers for this, but I think it's well worth having a few extra poxwalker models so it's more likely you have a model to use and you don't deplete the poxwalker hostile group. I can see people buying at least another frame for this purpose (fortunately, I have more poxwalkers than I can shake a rotting leg at).

[@masterslowpoke]

The Malignant Plaguecaster isn't on a single sprue, so they can't really add him in without cutting a new mold.

[@ABIGPLAN]

holy shit you already got it

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Sure did. And thanks to already having the miniatures in my collection, it's almost painted too!

[@adamryder8377]

Do all the extra inspiration tokens mean that these can be stored in the stasis chambers? It's a rule I've never been sure about, but if you can't keep them, then what's the point in these extra ones?

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

You don't normally get to keep inspiration points; however, a special rule in No Respite is that when you discard an affliction at Sawbone Station you get one inspiration point per affliction (maximum four). These are for use in the next expedition. If the character goes into stasis instead, the inspiration points go into stasis too. They are used the next time that character comes out of stasis. Because it's possible to have a lot of characters in stasis the expansion gives you a lot of inspiration tokens.

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring I see, thanks for clarifying. I've not started playing yet, but should have looked in the rules properly. Everything is painted and ready to go though.

Are there any "abominable intellect" encounter cards included in the box?

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

No. The only cards you get are the ones I show in the video. I feel like they have made a concerted effort to make this expansion more difficult without relying on encouraging people to buy more miniatures to flood the board.

[@Alittlefruitgoesalongway]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Yeah, and at least with this set if you do end up needing or wanting extras of these models for the game they are quite cheap and easy to get.

[@gjoenge]

yeah I hope so. normal Blackstone is way too easy. I play it with some competitive 40k min/max players and abominable intellect has been a must to up the game outside of house ruling. The keeper rules from GW was a nice idea but let's face it, it's too restrictive to play and a boring role for a player then. AI handles difficulty an annoying way with model swarming but I haven't seen any good fanmade rules for upping the stakes so far :/

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

@@Alittlefruitgoesalongway That is a plus point. You can get these miniatures for about £5 a sprue on eBay, so it's easy to get some more miniatures to make sure that you never have empty spawn points, which is certainly possible with the design of the current encounter cards and how many miniatures come in the box. There are also some special rules in some scenarios that you can make more threatening by using very simple house rules in conjunction with more poxwalker models. I didn't want to spoil too much about the scenarios, so I didn't really delve into it in the video, but anyone who knows anything about poxwalkers can probably figure it out!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

@@gjoenge Unfortunately, as I said in my Abominable Intellect review, I thought adding more models was a pretty lazy way to add difficulty and created more weird situations than it solved (although I've seen a few people now who really liked it, which is cool). Have you watched my video on house rules? The main rule is I nerf crits (from 3 wounds down to 2), which makes a massive difference to how long enemies stay on the board. It's particularly good for enemies with three wounds (such as sergeants). They normally don't feel much different to regular grunts but now they require more concentrated fire to take down as they shrug off the first crit. I also introduced armour saves for large and huge enemies. Just those two minor changes have made a big difference to my games.

[@TheFewzz]

I have a 5x3 do you think it's big enough for this game?

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

The combat maps aren't too big. It's all the other bits that take up space like the Precipice board, initiative tracker, and hero cards. It might be a bit of a squeeze, but should be okay, especially if you have a side table or something to store the enemy miniatures that aren't in use.

[@TheDungeonDive]

My table is smaller than that and I’ve never had an issue. I do however keep my character cards on a small TV tray / side table.

[@Slyfox1775]

I have the option to grab this 150$ way less then eBay . Do you think it’s worth it ? As someone who played it . I have the base game and two big box expansions

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

A game is worth what you're prepared to pay for it. Personally, I wouldn't spend that much on this expansion, and I love Blackstone Fortress. You have the main Blackstone experience with the core and the two big box expansions. No Respite is really good, it has some interesting ideas and some fun missions, but it's really only four extra strongholds that don't tie into the main narrative. The miniatures are the easy build ones that are readily available for about £10 for the lot, so you aren't really getting any value there either. Ultimately, it has to be your choice, but I would save that money. GW has a big announcement event this Saturday. You never know what they are going to announce there.

[@Slyfox1775]

Thanks for the really thoughtful reply. I had no idea they had a big announcement! I have a 50$ gift card plus the 150 I was going to waste, just might get me the new adventure board game if they announce one ! I will pass . On the expansion. My budget on it would only be 75$ I thought about getting the miniatures like you said . Could u post me a link to the ones I would need to buy ? I’m not familiar with Warhammer .

@@Slyfox1775 Well, Games Workshop being Games Workshop, I just went to their webstore to grab you the links for these miniatures and it looks like they've stopped making them. They really are a very frustrating company to deal with! What you need is the sprue of three "easy build Death Guard plague marines" and the sprue of six "easy build poxwalkers." These are the only easy build models of that type, and searching with those terms on eBay I can see several lots for sale. I am sure some independent stores may also still have some of these sets lying around at the moment.

I still think the problem with minis is a meta problem, for someone who plays only this game these are good new minis and you get more of them than in e.g. Ambul.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

It's not really a meta problem. Like I said in the video, I think people who don't have these miniatures will be happy enough, but there's no denying these are incredibly cheap, readily available miniatures. The £37.50 price tag doesn't sit easily with miniatures that you can pick up for £10. It makes it obvious this expansion has been significantly marked up and they are charging the best part of £30 for a few small decks of cards. Remember, the cost of this expansion doesn't have to cover the cost of designing, sculpting, or tooling the moulds for these miniatures. Those costs are long paid.

[@mikolajwitkowski8093]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring maybe it's because I come more from boardgames than miniature games but it seems that these expansions have always been too expensive.

Whenever you quote the price in pounds where you are, when I type it into google for conversion to US I get a wildly different number. What exactly is the currency where you are at? IE: I type 60 dollars to pounds and it says 46.33, I believe you said it cost 37.50 pounds. This is why in your unboxing for 40K 2nd edition, when you said it was 40 lbs I was comparing it to a SNES game, because according to the method I am using that equates to $51.80 US. Oh wait, that was Midwinter Minis Channel, but same issue.
