GMG Reviews - Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress - ESCALATION

[@trentathawat6714]

40K significance - Since Neyam Shai Murad has the keyword ASTRA CARTOGRAPHICA you now have access to 3 x HQ units (Janus Draik, Neyam Shai Murad and Elucia Vhane from KT Rogue Trader) with that faction keyword... meaning you can run them as a Supreme Command Detachment and actually generate CP! No more being forced to take them as a crummy 0 CP Patrol!

[@cosmos7819]

Maybe Rogue Trader codex in the future！ Multi voidsmen kit as tp and add some am vehicles.

[@trentathawat6714]

@@cosmos7819 - Separately available Voidsmen would be a dream come true! Rather than re-purposed existing vehicles it would be fitting to have their own unique transport. Since they're Imperial Navy related wouldn't it be amazing to have a plastic version of the Arvus Lighter shuttle? :D

[@misomiso8228]

Please finish it Ash! Blackstone are some of your best vids! Do it with Owen! Also there is some bonus missions in the June and July White Dwarf's you could do...

[@ellesar500]

I second this! Bought Blackstone just because of Ash's campaign

[@DieNische]

You really sold me on this game. I have played almost all big dungeon crawls out there but your fantastic videos caused me to check this one out as well. At first glance I thought that this game has nothing special to offer in comparison to Galaxy Defenders etc. We will see. ;)

[@Bassmunchkin1]

This is exciting Ash and many thanks for letting us have a sneak peek inside the box via your excellent talk through. I never realised there was so much to add to this already brilliant game. It feels like when I opened up and played the base game alonggggg time ago. But this time around, my nerves are taking a severe beating and playing The Dreaded Ambul and Traitor Command don't seem so frightening now after looking at this.

The greek letter is a lowercase zeta (in case anyone cares)

[@craigjones7343]

I really like the ‘escalation’ mechanic. The base game is pretty easy. I rarely have reinforcements show up. So far the only challenging mission was the Corridor of Death. Nearly had 3 explorers die in the first two turns. Thankfully we had UR025 and some fantastic upgrades. Once he was able to start shooting hostiles dropped like flies and offered no real threat.

[@kaibe5241]

If it's too easy, don't take the cookie-cutter chars. Ie. Leave UR-25 and Taddeus at home, and see how you go ;)

[@craigjones7343]

Kai Be you sitting at my table playing with me? Thaddeus is lame. He doesn’t touch my table.

[@kaibe5241]

@@craigjones7343 hahaha. But still using the tank eh? ;)

[@craigjones7343]

Kai Be nope. Got bored with him and swapped him out.

[@kaibe5241]

@@craigjones7343 well there you go then, you are a master of this game hehe

[@jacobthompson1682]

Yes promise of more WQBF playthrough. This game is so interesting

[@kaibe5241]

Easily the best WQ to date.

[@faolini]

Nice! Looks cool that they try to make the game slightly diferent. Hope to see mor Blackstone Fortress soon!

[@keanueraine]

It would be interesting if this standalone game somehow reached a head and winds up somehow affecting the Imperium as a whole ALA the Vigilus Ablaze/Defiant duology. Finding an intact Blackstone Fortress is kinda a big deal and I think/feel Abaddon and Bobby G would want to send out forces to capture it for either Chaos or the Imperium. Either way, I have bought everything for this game so far and all future content. It's cool to get in on the ground floor on something and not be so far behind. Edit: spelling.

[@Wildonion1]

Not hearing the familiar outro music was just eerie! Otherwise, nice rundown. Looking forward to more Blackstone Fortress in the future!

[@L0rd0fTh3N3rdz]

They could put out an expansion every month I would buy it

[@Haloister]

One minute in and all I can think is "So once your done with the Hidden Vault then?"

[@ecto6301]

I want this set solely to use the models in Necromunda. Dope Chaos Cult. And the Imperials will work great as Hangers-on/Bounty Hunters.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

I... actually never considered mercenaries for Necromunda before. Do you use them as-is from their 40k stats or do you have to jury-rig these things to match the rulesets?

[@ecto6301]

@@gratuitouslurking8610 Necromunda has chaos Cult and Mercenary rules already

[@vectorshaman338]

Sweet baby jesus.... someone in the BF community just paid $600 for this expansion by itself on ebay. So happy I got my complete game w/ all the expansions set 3 years ago.

[@MephilesRider]

Wait a minute, so you can play the cultists and the Firebrand multiple times in 40k? Because the Traitor Guard and the Psykers in the core box were limited to 2 squads only.

[@Siygess]

Negotiator pistol? What is she, Korben Dallas? :D

[@jmarcin]

Multipass.

Sweet! I'm hopefully buying this next week! Even though I haven't finished the main game... who cares!

[@kaibe5241]

How does the crusader play? I'm really looking for another tank-link character for our warband that isn't UR-25 :)

[@remikelek]

You forgot to remove the small cards. The white triangle will show you the way :P

[@michaelf.7339]

Is there any information yet on if and how these models will be playable in Kill Team?

[@pt_boat_265]

Glad I ordered this when I ordered the main game.

[@janttu]

Hello, been waiting for this

[@maltemenger5620]

I have the main game sitting on my shelf but i never bothered to build it because i heart it is too easy. Does this addon fix this issue? If so, how?

[@plazma2891]

can the new characters be used it the base campaign without spoilers??

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Yup!

[@callumbignall1877]

Aren't the Primaris Space Marines, how come she is a Primaris?

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Primaris Psyker. It’s an old name for Sanctioned Psyker, Imperial Psyker, etc

[@Venomunbound]

do i need the previous expansions to play escalation?\

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Nope just the core game!

[@ryanquinlan9718]

They need to get back to AOS Warhammer quest.

[@marky437]

sadly they won't as 40k is where the money is. Also they rather push WHQ 40k than fantasy WHQ

[@skywatcheradept]

@Thomas Elder I see Warcry as diverse supply of new Chaos cultists models for 40k.
