About this expansion

Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress – Annual 2019 is a 72-page softback book for 1–5 players, with a listed play time of 120 minutes and a 2019 release year. It introduces new content for explorers and collects Blackstone Fortress material published in White Dwarf from December 2018 through December 2019.

The Blackstone Fortress is constantly changing, with new chambers opening and fresh challenges awaiting the explorers. This annual expands the ways players can approach their games, whether they want tougher opposition, different group sizes, or new adventures to undertake.

  • Expanded Hostile Player Rules: optional tools for increasing the difficulty of challenges and combats.
  • Abominable Intellect: rules for using Abominable Intellect cards and adjusting quest difficulty.
  • Precipice Awaits: explore one of four areas of the port city of Precipice in search of treasure and facing peril.
  • Strike Force: play with fewer than four explorers.
  • An Army of One: undertake the Blackstone Fortress alone, including additional rules for a Harlequin Solitaire.
  • Retinue Characters: unlock, recruit, and use new characters, with Expeditions Sidequests included.

The book also includes a miniatures showcase featuring Explorers, Retinue Characters, Servants of the Abyss, and the Xenos Threat. Its new adventures include Light in the Dark, following Taddeus the Purifier for games with 1–3 players; A Deadly Lure, an extended quest involving an Ambull; and Wrath of the Daemonkin, in which explorers face Astroth Mythrak, a malevolent Master of Possession.

With its combination of optional rules, expanded character options, collected material, and new quests, Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress – Annual 2019 gives explorers additional ways to challenge the fortress and uncover what its changing chambers reveal.
