About this expansion

Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress – Escalation is a 2019 expansion for 1–5 players, with games lasting around 180 minutes. It introduces a new quest in the Blackstone Fortress setting, where the struggle has escalated from treasure hunting to a fight for survival.

Obsidius Mallex has seized control of part of the alien space station’s apocalyptic power and threatens to turn it against his enemies. In the sinister Black Shrines, seasoned adventurers face new twists on the core gameplay of Warhammer Quest and a challenge designed to test even experienced parties.

Escalation expands the options available to your adventuring group with four new Explorers and one very loyal Servitor. The expansion also gives players the chance to own iconic characters in plastic, including an Adeptus Ministorum Crusader and a Primaris Psyker.

  • Four new Explorers and one loyal Servitor
  • A new quest centered on the Black Shrines
  • New cultists for the Servants of the Abyss
  • A literal Firebrand leading the enemy reinforcements

The opposition receives reinforcements as well. A brand-new set of cultists joins the Servants of the Abyss, bringing a more occult and barbarous aesthetic than the Traitor Guard from the core set and highlighting the diversity of the Slaves to Darkness.

With its expanded cast, new enemies, and demanding quest, Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress – Escalation continues the story of the fortress while raising the stakes for every expedition into its dangerous depths.
