Warhammer Quest Shadows Over Hammerhal

Don’t miss our first look at the latest stand alone Warhammer Quest: Shadows Over Hammerhal and it is very different than Silver Tower!

This is a fantastic new game with some of the old mechanics that we saw with Silver Tower but is very much different.

There are a ton of miniatures in the game but none are new models. We have already seen all of these in the past believe it or not…

There are 10 wanna be bird people and 10 Blood Reavers that are the nice multi-part minis as well as all the heroes.

All of the game tiles, tokens, and counters are all beautifully printed on high quality cardboard.

One of the biggest changes we notice in this game is that there is an actual Gamemaster that controls the adversaries.

Hammerhal. Built in the glorious image of Azyrheim, the seat of the God-King Sigmar’s power. Within its walls can be found danger and beauty, faith and intrigue, poverty and fortune. From the gleaming crystal spires of Goldenpath to the mist-shrouded vineways of Ghyra-un-Tyr, there is seemingly no end to its marvels. Yet most who witness this splendour know little of the danger and menace that fill the outer districts of the city, and that which lurks below…

A band of heroes has been brought together by circumstance, and are bound to hunt down and nullify a sinister Chaos plot in the dungeons and catacombs below Hammerhal. Lord-Castellant Arvios Sunhelm, his Gryph-hound Archimaine and Cogsmith Golnir Coalbeard are joined by Loremaster Alnaryn and Fleetmaster Vizrin Kyre, as they quest to uncover the Chaos Sorcerer Lord Redomir and put a halt to the vile corruption of the First City of Order.

Warhammer Quest Shadows Over Hammerhal is a boxed game for 2-5 players, set in – and below – the splendid city of Order, Hammerhal. Up to 4 players can quest in the catacombs and dungeons below the city, while another acts as gamemaster, setting fiendish obstacles, controlling the antagonists and setting the story – it’s up to this player to take charge of revealing the secrets each dungeon has to offer.

After each adventure, the heroes can spend time in the Cinderfall district of the city, visiting shops, resting and taking part in the various shadowy delights Hammerhal has to offer! Your characters level up and increase their skills as you play, and Warhammer Quest Shadows Over Hammerhal is completely compatible with the Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower Hero Cards – any miniatures or rules you already own for that game can be used here.

Speaking of miniatures, Warhammer Quest Shadows Over Hammerhal includes an impressive 31:

– a Lord-Castellant;
– a Gryph-hound;
– a Cogsmith;
– a Black Ark Fleetmaster;
– a Loremaster;
– a Chaos Sorcerer Lord;
– 5 Putrid Blightkings;
– 10 Kairic Acolytes;
– 10 Bloodreavers.

As well as this, the box includes a 72-page guidebook, a 32-page adventure book for the gamemaster to use, 18 double-sided board sections, 55 cards, 12 dice and a variety of counters and markers for tracking your heroes as they gain experience and skills under the city of Hammerhal.
