GW just released new previews for Warhammer Quest Cursed City and now we’ve got 3 new skeletons models to check out.
Warhammer Community released an article detailing some brand new models that were designed for Cursed City, maybe the box set release is closer than we thought?
Let’s go over all we know so far from all the previews, and then check out those sweet new models.
Warhammer Quest: Cursed City
Looks like Battlefleet Gothic isn’t happening… yet, but a new Warhammer Quest is!
Speaking of vampires, an epic new Warhammer Quest game brings even more bloodsuckers to the Mortal Realms. If you and your friends have already defeated the Silver Tower and the Blackstone Fortress, you’ll find an exciting challenge ahead as you embark on the most dangerous quest yet, into the cursed city of Ulfenkarn.
Some of the art style used in this video is near identical to the old AoS Everchosen Battletome, which is fine because it fits perfectly with the blood theme.
Here we see the heroes gather, there seems to be 4 of them. We can assume they are a dwarf, a human witch hunter, an elven archer, and a larger brute, warrior-like character.
This Witch Hunter character offers a return to good old fashioned Witch Huntin’. Except now this character brings a custom rifle with an underslung stake launcher. Why get close to beasties when you can stake ’em from far away? Not to mention the giant executioner’s blade on his back and hammer in hand for anything that wanders too close.
The final model is a villain the heroes must face, which we can presume is one of the lackeys of the main villain referred to as the “Wolf”, who is likely a vampire lord. Judging by the iconography and such, this quest looks like something right out of Vlad the Impalers playbook, that is if he had access to necromancers to raise all the people they kill for food.
3 New Cursed City Models Previewed By GW
Hoping to receive the ‘gift’ of the Soulblight curse, Oleksander Halgrim joined the traitorous purge of Ulfenkarn’s nobility. This did not go down well with his fellow officers, who bound him hand and foot and threw him in a sewer pit to be eaten by Corpse Rats. His skeleton was then raised as a Deathrattle officer to lead the Ulfenwatch, although he is now little more than a rotting automaton.
Death by rats, must not have been fun, but it’s okay, he’s just an animated skeleton now, he doesn’t worry about such foolish things like living.
To control a city the size of Ulfenkarn, an army is required. With no time to place ads in the local newspaper, Gorslav the Gravekeeper emptied the corpse-gardens and crypt-tunnels. Soon an army of fleshless soldiers were dispensing brutal justice on the streets from their stronghold, the Vharngate.
While an individual skeleton warrior shouldn’t cause your party much trouble, they will be inspired to fight even harder by their banner bearer, so make sure that you try to take him out first.
Not only do we get a little lore to peek at what is assumed to be the first section of the Cursed City quest, but we also get a sense of some rules. The banner will somehow buff these new Warhammer cursed city skeletons, but how? We’ll just have to wait and see!
How do you feel about these new Skeletons for Warhammer Cursed City? Do you like this style of PVE games? Are you excited for the return of Vampires in AoS?
