There is a good chance you’ll be seeing Warhammer Quest outside your local game store! Checkout what’s coming to shopping malls and retail chains across the world.
BoLS is reporting that it looks like Warhammer Quest will not only have expansions, but it’s going into big box retail as well!
Industry sources tell BoLS the following:
-
Warhammer Quest will released into major retail chains as an introductory GW product.
-
It will follow in the footsteps of the Battle for Vedros line, and is aimed at the same segment of the market, to attract new customers to GW.
-
Warhammer Quest Silver Tower is only the initial product for this line, and a series of expansions are already in development which will also be pushed into the large retail channel.
This seems to line up with what other folks across the web are saying about the release as well:

Just got off the phone with GW. They are pushing this hard and calling it Warhammer Quest.
Supposedly….(sales rep info here, grain of salt) WQ will be a new line alongside 40k and AOS. More hero boxes, rules for using models from AOS, etc.
Of course, i’m being told this while they try to sell me a ton of copies 🙂
via StreetSamurai (Dakka)
in the WD, it is written that a new WQ app is coming, and this app will enable you to BUY the WQ rules of pretty much every AOS plastic heroes.
GW is coming to big box already with the Battle for Vedros, will this be the follow-along to that play? Only time will tell, but it seems like Games Workshop is finding a new groove when it comes to retail….
