Warhammer Quest - Blackstone Fortress: ESCALATION - Part 1

[@jacobthompson1682]

I like how learning new characters in the game comes off as the expedition crew getting friendly and starting to work together in story. These videos are awesome and thank you Ash.

Blackstone Fortress is back! WOOOOOOOOO!

[@uprightsquire]

at ~15:30 you cut through the side wall of the corridor. The pink edges are impassable, you can only enter from one hex.

[@Haloister]

Literally 5 minutes into the fortress the 4 people who are all on the same team, who are going to stop everything from going pear shaped start threatening to murder eachother. Yeah that's a good analogy for the Imperium as a whole.

[@Bassmunchkin1]

Absolutely brilliant and thanks Ash for helping me understand how this expansion works. I never knew that when the heros return to precipice, they all get uninspired.

[@JBenderP]

Fantastic! I will be looking forward to seeing how the rest of this turns out! I have just ordered the Core Set, after painting the Ambull. Speaking of which - you (really, really) ought to consider give the Ambull a run in one of your Kill Team games, now that it was featured in the KT Annual 2019 :-)

[@jesseheard6686]

Was really hoping you'd do this, Ash. Thanks a ton!

[@misomiso8228]

I am also SO looking forward to you map making skills... I got it COMPLETELY wrong and had no understanding of what was going on when I tried it.

[@Bassmunchkin1]

Me as well @misomiso, I started by seeing where all the different corridors connected to but that didn't even connect up properly. So glad Ash is playing this expansion, super excited just to see what I've been doing wrong.

[@oliverbutterfield9844]

Been waiting for this.... that’s my afternoon sorted :)

[@woad23]

Awesome, new Blackstone Fortress content! Tyty!

[@jacobthompson1682]

Yes back to Blackstone Fortress

[@Moseth7606]

Yeeeeesss god bless you sir!! 🙂 this has made my lockdown 😁👍

[@Bassmunchkin1]

I notice that when Gotfret is inspired, you only move him 2 but he can move 3

[@misomiso8228]

YEAAHHH!! Here we go!!

[@skotbean5690]

1 thing I noticed, Aradia can't give people activation dice, she swaps 1 of hers with another explorers lowest dice

[@andyritchie6401]

You seem to be changing the leader a lot more than you need to. The order from the rules is: 1- exploration round, 2 - recovery step, 3 leader step. The exploration round is either a combat/challenge card or a chamber. Not a big deal here but there is at least one retinue character who, if he does not start his activations next to the leader, will move until he is and then his activations ends. So changing leader every round of a combat would just see him running around between leaders. Also in the recovery step you can thrown a vitality roll to get rid of some wounds. Great to see this back, Escalation is my favourite expansion so far.

[@c3rber3s00]

Actually you change the leader at the leader phase and and also in the event phase of each round of combat. Page 15 combat rule-book.

[@andyritchie6401]

Never noticed that before. That makes Knuckles almost useless as a retinue.

[@c3rber3s00]

@@andyritchie6401 Ya I thought the same thing, first never noticed I had to do it at end of every event, then after seeing that, thought that using Knuckles will be hard.

[@c3rber3s00]

at 18:39, when your move takes you adjacent to a hostile, your move ends. So you would have had to spend one more die to move past the ur ghul

[@harrymanback3475]

I love the warhammer quest batreps! Your editing is great. Silver tower batrep was how i discovered your channel. Have you ever tried any of the army of one missions Ash? (I think they just released a new Deathwatch hero) I'd be interested to watch. Thanks for the new content, keep on rolling! 👍

[@harrymanback3475]

Any chance you could pop a link for your card sleeves down? Many thanks.

[@BRqRyEEh5Q]

@@harrymanback3475 NSKN Paladin make some sleeves which fit the odd sizes of GW games, specifically the 41x63mm initiative cards and the 75x110mm exploration ones (Galahad and Genevieve, respectively, I think), but not the artefact/resource ones

[@harrymanback3475]

@@BRqRyEEh5Q thank you dude 👍

[@jcjc4314]

if you have the the "reroll a failed attack-ability", do you get to reroll one of the dice on a 2-dice attach when you get a normal hit with the other dice? I mean, its no a failed attack, just not as hard as you wanted it.

[@horhevamp8890]

Ash, you lost weight.

[@wlfhi]

Nice! Any interest/plans to play Gloomhaven or Frosthaven once it's out?

[@118bone]

Loving the videos! also, where did you get the plastic thingies for the initiative cards?

[@cadiastands8]

I see you dropping those pounds, Ash!

[@cadiastands8]

My guess is keto!

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Lol nope not at all. Just going outside, some yoga and watching what I eat.

[@TakedaYuuki-8SFL]

@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames Always a good idea. Be safe out there Sir Ash. 👍
