Expand Your Blackstone Fortress: Escalation Unboxing & Build

Don’t miss our unbox and build of the new Blackstone Fortress minis as we compare them other Imperials out there and give you our thoughts on the design!

Games Workshop has ushered in the third expansion for Blackstone Fortress. Today we are going to crack open this new set and put together some of the new miniatures.  Let’s get started.

Blackstone Fortress: Escalation:$110

Get Yours For Less From Miniature Market!

Blackstone Fortress Escalation

Obsidius Mallex lives! The Chaos Lord has risen from his defeat, and has created a corrupted citadel inside the Blackstone Fortress. Through heretical rituals, his followers have activated ever more of the fortress’ apocalyptic weapon systems, and now Precipice itself is faced with annihilation. In order to survive, the explorers must venture back inside the Blackstone Fortress and destroy the Citadel of Mallex.

Escalation

This new expansion for Blackstone Fortress is by far the most expensive yet to hit the market. The Escalation expansion comes with some great new content that propels the narrative forward along with a 13 brand new highly detailed Citadel Miniatures.

Let’s take a look at all that this box has to offer.

  • 24-page Escalation booklet
  • 40-page Exploration booklet
  • 8-page Datasheet booklet
  • 11 board tiles
  • 68 cards
  • Counters and markers
  • 4 stasis chambers
  • 1 Throne of Mallex envelope
  • 13 Citadel Miniatures: 4 Explorers, 1 Retinue character, 7 Chaos Cultists, 1 Chaos Cultist Firebrand

Here he is folks. The dopest Chaos Cultist on the block, Mr. Firebrand! Thes new miniatures are Easy to build and go together relatively fast but have a tone of detail.  Did we mention he is Primaris sized?

Here we see the new Rogue Trader miniature next to a Death Korps Guardsmen. Overall it looks like this may be the last expansion for BSF, or perhaps a new cycle will release to pick up where this narrative leaves off?

As always, keep those hobby muscles strong, stay in the trenches, and check out our unboxing video below!
