Still waiting on the Freeguilds hero...

He was in a White Dwarf issue. I have his rules. Christmas issue, I believe; when they gave us stuff for bloodbowl, necromunda and space hulk too. Pretty sure it was a freeguild captain and the mage.
Or it was in the Morathi issue. I don’t remember which. I can look later. But there were two freeguild model rule sets in WD.

Ah, cool, wasn't aware of that, I'll have to pay more attention to this then

The necromancer was a pretty cool addition to silver tower.

Want an Eldar Farseer/warlock/spiritseer (and Wraithguard for the latter). A White Dwarf add-in for a Datapriest and a Castellan Robot would be cool - or some sort of Admech and a battle servitor of some kind.

I think you mean a Kastelan robot, otherwise we're straying dangerously close to the Castellan knight. Those damn GW names, eh?

A Kastellan would be way, waaaaaaay too hard for a dungeon crawler.

In old Quest, when a Bloodthirster showed up, you panicked. Big time. Add in a big old fearless hunk of Dakka junk to pour it on, and in a pinch give it a good fisting, and all the fun goes!

Rules for having mostly Imperial(or Eldar) adversaries, while the "heroes" are Chaos or other "bad guy" factions could be a fun twist.

If they follow the same model as Silver Tower, you could have heroes from every faction trying to kill the baddies.

It was the General and the Ironweld Gunmaster. They also added rules for hiring the General, Gunmaster, Battlemage, Assassin, or Unforged as mercenaries.

In Old Quest you panicked when a Minotaur showed up.

I am quite sure that there will be a load of additional characters presented in WD.

The fact that you're implying White Dwarf is going to be anything more than GW ads and spanking over their new toys makes me know your Crystal Ball has been dropped too many times.

I had a subscription to WD for the last 2 years and I can count on one hand how many issues had rules for their games. And I can still eat with chopsticks on that same hand.

I am quite sure that there were a couple of extra characters introduced to Silver Tower via WD. The most likely candidates for such a treatment for 40K Quest would be relative new minis with a big price tag like Sly Marbo and Inquisitor Greyfax.

Which other characters would be appropriate?
- Orks (Snikrot)
- Dark Eldar (Lelith Hesperax)
- CSM (Cypher)
- Eldar (Barefoot Woman with cat)

From what was reported from the Nova Q&A, it's supposed to be limited to Imperial stuff at the launch.

It makes me think that they might intend to use WH40k Quest as a way to introduce new kits early on and bring out new hero/character models all in one go for a known to be popular faction and new stuff for older factions that needed stuff updated en masse before the "full" kit comes out.

Anyone seen a sum up of what was revealed in the Q&A - lots of snippets coming out, but I've not seen a proper summary like we have with the UK Games Expo.

It doesn't have to be Characters, especially if they're trying to make it a bunch of Rogue Traders... the power level will probably be lower by a long shot. Primaris Marines might be as 'powerful' as it gets.

Combining it with the Rogue Trader boxed set, and obligatory expansions.. The lean tword smaller skirmish level looks like a good one.

And there's certainly an obvious and easy place for additional synergy between games with the cast of Rogue Trader available to be easily re purposed for WQ:BSF via a WD article...

PFFTTT...if I recall one of the first minotaur encounters was "D3" minotaurs to boot...yeah, that was pucker factor time.

FIRE OF WRATH! That was all you needed wasn't it? Oh and a Broadsword!

Not that I've ever been swayed by advertising or anything

You're thinking of Heroquest.

Nice catch, I wonder if that means they will reveal it at Spiel this next weekend or what. I kind of have feeling we'll be seeing it, Delaque , and the next Blood Bowl team, and the next AoS army and the new Slaanesh stuff the following weekend at Blood and Glory.

This is what I’m waiting for....Come on geedubs! Let’s get the info trickle on!

I just did a sex wee.

So looking forward to this!

Pass the bleach. It's brain scrubbing time

On the other bandits a reasonable response. The game does sound rather good fun.

Yeah, I hope so too! The Spiel 2017 reveal was Necromunda, IIRC.

Did WarCom announced something about their activities at the 2018 edition ?

I'm rrally falling behind on even *thinking* of getting into new releases. GW is relentless. And I take way too long with all my converting and stuff.

But 40k Quest! But Speed Freeks just before! And probably SC Idoneth and DoK around Xmas. Yikes. So muuuuch stuff.

Is this the thing that is supposedly giving Abaddon and the Obliterators new models?

Hoping we get unique sculpts for the heroes in the box.

Also very interested to see what the baddies are.
