Don’t miss the hottest new game from Games Workshop as Blackstone Fortress is now available for pre-order, just in time for the holiday season.
Blackstone Fortress is ready for pre-order along with the Tyranid and Gennestealer Cult Commanders for 40k Kill Team as well. Let’s dive into this weeks pre-orders from Games Workshop.
Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress: $150
As vast and dark as a sunless void, the Blackstone Fortress is a creation far beyond the ken of any race in the galaxy. In this age of darkness, in a galaxy riven with strife and horror, the desperate and intrepid alike search this Fortress for long-lost technologies that may be used to turn the tide of war.
In Warhammer Quest Blackstone Fortress, you and your friends take on the role of a group of disparate explorers delving into the labyrinthine halls of a vast and ancient space station. Only by working together and balancing your strength and skills can you hope to survive. With each expedition, you will discover powerful archeotech and learn more of the Blackstone Fortress’ closely guarded secrets, including, perhaps, the location of its greatest treasure. The game can be played solo, or with up to 4 friends, with the fifth player controlling the hostiles. At the end of each expedition, the players return to the nearby port city of Precipice to rest, recuperate, and trade their loot for resources that will aid in their next adventure.
