Grimdark Questing: Blackstone Fortress LATEST
If you missed the latest previews from Games Workshop, you can check it out now.
Rumors Leading up to the Preview
Just before Warhammer Community previewed the game, it looked like some people caught wind of it and posted about it on Social Media.
The rumor mill says there is going to be some sort of “Heroquest” like 40K game being announced this year at The Nova Open. Any thoughts or input wargamers? I honestly, if this is in fact true wish they would space out these skirmish game releases a lot more…. Basically like Warhammer Quest, but in the 40K universe
Could this “rumor” be the 40k version of the Silver Tower board game centered around AoS?
Both of the games are under the “Warhammer Quest” title after all.
What we Know so Far
This is what was said in the Q&A’s at the GW Fall Preview revolving around Blackstone Fortress:
Warhammer quest: Blackstone fortress
First 40k Warhammer quest gameBlackstone fortress has 3 chaos marines in it
A Rogue Trader was talking in the Blackstone fortress video
3 new CSM models in Black Stone fortress box. “Probably 7 more new models to make a new CSM boxed kit”.
Blackstone fortress loosely connected to a world as speed freeks and tooth and claw
Speed Freeks and Forgebane and Tooth and Claw all take place on the same planet. Loosely connected to the story for Blackstone Fortress.
Our Thoughts on What’s to Come
Of course, all of the keywords in the pic are <REDACTED>, but it sounds like there’s a Rogue Trader out in the universe that’s going to check the truthfulness behind some rumors. Now, looking at the architecture of the “Fortress?” from the previews, it looks like a Pyramid, just like the bottom of that teaser image above.
