I really don't care for expansions so long as I put Sly into the game. Also, would it kill them to add anyone from Age of Sigmar? Or do they not remember Talisman Timescape?
If you’ve been playing Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress and you’re already hungry for more, you won’t have to wait long – 2019 will see new models for this game of dark quests, and new expansions to boot. If you thought a Man of Iron was cool, you haven’t seen anything yet
My moneys on a Hrud infestation.

Cooler than a Man of Iron? A Zoat would probably do it for me, either as a explorer or an adversary.
Or an expansion of the Spindle drones.
Or an actual Squat.
Or a new type of Ynnari Eldar.
Or...…..
This is going to be the longest three day week ever
I was actually thinking of an expansion with spindle drone or original Blackstone Fortress inhabitants/protectors. Would be an awesome addition to the actual feeling of the place.

Some absolutely lovely looking miniatures and set but would be keen to read some comments from Dakkanaughts.
I've been through two missions, it has a steep learning curve. As usual, the GW rules team was drunk at the ship, there are many things you have to either house rule, or dig through the internet to find a good interpenetration for. I still recommend it though, once you work out the kinks, it's fun and the models are great!

I'm curious what needed interpretation? I've played for one evening so far, and didn't run across anything I thought needed explanation. Everything made sense to me.
Wasn't there a Squat miniature floating around in the rumor section somewhere? Looked like a perfect fit for Blackstone Fortress, since it's one of the neglected factions and it looked sort of like an explorer/mercenary type.

Same for me. I thought the rules were pretty clear and solid. They are, however, fragmented across multiple books and not always in the clearest of locations. I like the Legacy style modifications to the decks as you go further in. I think I've been quite lucky with the draws so far, in that I've done a few trips into the Fortress now and still havn't drawn any harder enemies to fight.
Aeldari from craftworld Altansar would be a cool treat, and would probably bring something exiting to the fluff.
But then again, their fluff might be better left in mystery.

I've only played a few one-offs and I am more than happy. The only thing that could be keeping me from playing the story is the legacy deck. I'd wish they let you draw it only after you leave the expedition....

Another Avenger but 40K ified.
Sigmarinewith thunderhammer
Sigmarine with indestructible shield
Ebony Panther Eldar from a lost shrineworld (or from a world that we thought had no shrines)
A human scientist that changes into a giant orange jokero when he doesn’t want to
A female spindle drone that’s hot
A necron who remembers who he is and can phase through stuff
Really the cast can go on and on. Just no mutants , they were sold to chaos in a stupid money grab years ago.

Though Slaan behind the drones and fortress itself would be interesting.
What I'd really want is crossover material with 40k. Either more chaos cults stuff, or feeler forces for new Xenos armies.
Yes, fishmen. Because a fresh take on the concept with modern sculpting and mold precision would give you that “feeler force” for a new xenos army, one that wouldnt have a direct cognate in fantasy. (though if it ever became an army Im sure idoneth deepkin stuff would end up appropriated for conversions)
Thanks for comments guys - key word I was looking there for was 'fun'.
Some rules idiosyncrasies I can live with, as I love the concept of this one and the element of continuity. Also the fact that it seems like the most imaginative concept GW has put forward in some years!
Though Slaan behind the drones and fortress itself would be interesting.
Weren't Slaan ret-conned into the 'old ones' or similar?
I have to be honest, although it's going back some years I don't think I ever saw or heard of anyone playing with a Slaan force. A couple of miniatures in a display cabinet and I think that was it!
They would certainly be an odd choice to re-introduce.

Imperial beastmen are back in the lore, so I wouldn't be against a datasheet for Gor Half-horn to be added
I can’t tell whether you missed the joke or not..

It doesn’t have to?
I don’t think they are saying there will only be one more character who will be an unexpected one.
Just that one of the characters coming probably will be

They didn't even said it will be a character, it could be unexpected enemies
No one else thinks Hrud? I feel like this is a great way to introduce Space Skaven without having to make a whole army of them (since 40k Orks already fill all the same niches)

If it is hrud I hope they go with the much more sci-fi version rather than ratmen in space....
Space Slann are the only exception to that rule (no more fantasy races in spaaaaaace) for me, but even then I'd prefer a more unique reptile/amphibian xenos species.

Curious what you have to house-rule. With several explorations and one Stronghold finished, my group has not encountered anything that isn't covered by the rules. Admittedly the rules aren't in a clearly laid out order, but they're all there.
