GW Announces 2 New Blackstone Fortress Pre-Orders

Not one, but TWO new pre-order items are on the way for Blackstone Fortress next week, as GW has another product to issue new releases for now!

If you love Blackstone Fortress, next week’s new releases from Games Workshop may be a must have for you. New for 40k’s Warhammer Quest is the Dreaded Ambull and a branded carry case as well!

First up: the Ambull courtesy of Warhammer Community:

Dreaded Ambul

Last seen in the bygone days of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, the Ambull is back, and it’s bigger, nastier and angrier than ever. In The Dreaded Ambull, you and your friends will have the opportunity to track, and eventually kill, this beast as you journey through the Blackstone Fortress.

The How:

The Dreaded Ambull is an expansion designed to plug into your existing Blackstone Fortress set, and the first of several new adventures you’ll be able to try. You’re free to tackle it as a stand-alone adventure or incorporate it into your larger campaigns. After all, if you’ve already unlocked the Hidden Vault, you’ll be dying to take your [REDACTED BY ORDER OF THE INQUISITION] for a spin…

Encounter, Discovery, Exploration and Hostile cards offer new challenges and twists for your adventures.

You’re also welcome to mix in the expansion with your core set, meaning the Ambull and Borewyrms have a chance to show up in your other expeditions. You’ve not played Blackstone Fortress until you’ve had an Ambull and Obsidius Mallex show up at the same time…

Rules for 40k

Looks like the Ambull will also have rules for Warhammer 40k as well now!

The return of the Ambull is a pretty big deal, and it’d be a shame to restrict how you could use such an awesome model. So, inside The Dreaded Ambull set you’ll find datasheets for using this massive beast – and the scurrying critters that accompany it – in battle, plus points if that’s how you like to balance your games.

Turns out, points is how we think most people like to balance their games GW.  Of course, as with any GW new release, there are accessories. Check out the carrying case!
