Games Workshop - Warhammer Quest - Cursed City: Nemesis (Expansion)

Product Information

The rules come in two separate booklets: the Rules Book and the Quest Book. The former gives you the turn system, key mechanics, and fundamental nuts and bolts of the game, and does so quite neatly and readably, making learning less painful than I guessed. The latteris pretty much a compendium of rolling tables(and the correspondingprocedural permutations) for the events in each of the Journeysyou’ll make in Ulfenkarn in Peril, themain story questlinethat’s covered by the Cursed City boxed game. Of course being Games Workshop the minis for these are absolutely brilliant. You will need to snip them from the sprues and glue them together though so make sure you have clippers and plastic glue. You can find rules for using Escher Cutters in The Aranthian Succession – Cinderak Burning . Escher Tactics Cards and Ash Wastes Dice Stormcast Eternals • Orruk Warclans • Maggotkin of Nurgle • Fyreslayers • Idoneth Deepkin • Nighthaunt • Daughters of Khaine • Skaven • Sylvaneth • Disciples of Tzeentch • Sons of Behemat • Lumineth Realm-lords • Ogor Mawtribes • Slaves to Darkness • Beasts of Chaos • Gloomspite Gitz • Kharadron Overlords • Blades of Khorne • Hedonites of Slaanesh • Ossiarch Bonereapers • Soulblight Gravelords • Seraphon • Cities of Sigmar • Flesh-Eater Courts This week on Warhammer+ Loremasters will consult the auguries to pin down some empirical evidence on the nature of Tzeentch, and how his plans within plans might look to a normal mind in the Mortal Realms.

So the main difference is in the outcome of the civilian population. Saving thousands of lives is never a bad thing, but the game’s logic starts to break down here. Age of Sigmar’s setting is so huge that the loss of thousands of lives is minuscule in the context of the wider story. Maybe I have been playing too much 40k, but I doubt the Imperium would risk 8 space marines for several thousand lives. We have no indication that these people are particularly useful, valuable or possess any other trait that the loss of 8 demi-god level heroes would justify. Thousands of lives are lost every day in the AoS world and so it seems weird that: A these losses would be a particular tragedy, B: they would be sufficient fodder to elevate a vampire to mortarch status. I know this sounds cold, but it makes it hard to see even the game’s best outcome as nothing more than the team taking a solid “L”. There are going to be minimal spoilers for this expansion and some spoilers for the core game and Nightwars, so stop here if you want to go in fresh. All is Lost Anyone who had nuns in big metal jumpsuits on their Christmas bingo card is going to be rubbing their hands with glee at the Sanctorum Guard battleforce, which contains 23 saintly miniatures. Morven Vahl spearheads a cohort of six Paragon Warsuits, while a complement of Celestian Sacresants and a Battle Sister squad give you more zealots than you can shake a brazier at. Battleforce: Adeptus Custodes – Watchers of The GateShe’s stern. She’s mean. She’s got full plate armour, neat hair, a big bastard sword and a big bastard eagle on her shoulder. She means business. Join up to three other players and take on the undead horrors that stalk the streets and dwellings of Ulfenkarn to rid the city from its terrible curse. Each player takes command of a hero as part of an unlikely band of adventurers, and they must work together to triumph over the terrible dangers they face, lest they be condemned to be forever bound to the Cursed City in undeath. game cards including encounters, Paragon Class traits, Hostile References, and a Nemesis quest card

The models in Cursed City remain one of the big draws for the game:the collection would make excellent DnDminiatures, and plenty of skilled fans have converted them for Mordheim, a retro skirmish game set in Warhammer: The Old World. Taking into account the broad sweep of its gameplay, the variability in the campaign’s missions (called Journeys), the time required to reach its set-piece boss battles, and the many assorted ancillary jollies your characters can and will find themselves on – this one is going to take a bit of time to have proper conclusions on.The first Chaos box has a good assort of Thousand Sons models, and it’s even led by Magnus! That means it’s fantastic for new players but maybe a little harder to justify for someone who already owns Magnus. Battleforce: Death Guard – Council of The Death Lord Different mission types will see your characters running through a randomly generated city to escape from a roiling mass of death sorcery, or looting the ruins for supplies, evacuating civilians, or hunting down Radukar’s elite court. Spend too long on a mission and night will fall over the Cursed City, making your enemies deadlier.

This clutch of Knights is a perfectly sized army project – it’s just a handful of miniatures, after all… The Chainbreaker Lance contains four Armiger-class knights led by Canis Rex , a legendary steed piloted by the equally epic Sir Hekhtur. For those of a less Freeblade persuasion, Canis Rex can also be constructed as any Questoris-class Knight. Battleforce: Thousand Sons – Court of The Crimson King Followers of the Cursed City will know this isn’t the first time the game has lived up to its ill-fated name. GW surprised fans in 2021 by giving the core game a very limited release – one that hinted at production problems as the Cursed City miniatures released separately not long after. The game had been hyped up and a long line of expansions seemed certain, but the sudden pivot had many questioning Warhammer’s communications strategy. Haven is rife with rumours that Radukar himself is among these creatures, having adopted a hideous new form … The system lends weight to the already strongly-flavoured ‘creatures of the night’ themethat pervades thegame, root and stem. It also bodes well for making the action feel driven, andensuring thatthe scariest fights cancontinue to be scary, evenonce the heroeshave levelled up. I like it rather a lot. In this second expansion for Warhammer Quest: Cursed City, use your collection of Soulblight Gravelords models to represent the undead hordes looking to reclaim Ulfenkarn for its exiled former dictator. You’ll find new missions, game mechanics, and even more challenging enemies. Plus, you might even bump into some old ‘friends’ along the way... [3] Contents

Not only are the skeleton and zombie models’ equipment highly unlikely to beconducive toyour early lists, but all the other baddie models from Cursed City must be taken as a whole group, for a whopping 680 points. Three classic Warhammer novels are released as MP3 audiobooks next week. In Gods of Mars , Archmagos Kotov’s great voyage is over, and his fleet marvels at the wonders that they have found – but reality itself is threatened by nefarious elements who plan to misuse these impossible technologies. This is the final part of Graham McNeill’s Forge of Mars series.
