A photo of our dining table with a Warhammer Quest game set up on it. There's lots of cards and dice everywhere, and in middle are a bunch of variously-shaped tiles connected together that look like the inside of a set of buildings. There's four hero miniatures at the right (one heavily-armoured warrior woman with a sword, a vampire hunter with a long leather coat and a big hat, a steampunk dwarf, and a priest with a rich red robe and a big staff) plus two groups of hostile miniatures: a swarm of bats, and Radukar the Wolf who is a vampire and has two big wolf pelts including the heads draped over his shoulders

Our Warhammer Quest adventure continued with @[email protected] tonight, and it was an abject failure, and my brave dwarven warrior Dagnai is now permanently dead and can't be played anymore. 😭

We chose to do a Deliverance journey which in hindsight was a bad idea, but we wanted to try to reduce the fear level. From our previous roll at the end of the last game, Radukar the big bad was going to show up as the second hostile group, and right from the very outset he fucked us up. We've seen him a couple of times before but have managed to kill him before he could do too much damage, but the rolling in this game was absolutely atrocious. Dagnai was attacking some corpse rats and hits on a 3+, and out of four rolls he missed with three of them. @[email protected]'s character was taken out of action twice, and we were unable to stay sufficiently ahead of the gravetide and multiple times where we took two damage from it. We then had two of the huge Kosargi Nightguard show up, and at that point we gave up, there was no possible way we could survive. We rolled on the table at the end of the game as if everyone had been taken out of action, it's on a D12 and on a roll of one anyone out of action permanently dies, and I managed to roll a one for Dagnai. 😭😭

It means I'll need to start from Level 0 with his replacement, Brutogg Corpse-Eater though he'll level up faster assuming we're actually successful in the next mission. 😬 We should probably do a Scavenge journey next instead even though it'll increase fear, so we can get some more gear.

A photo of five fully-painted miniatures from Warhammer Quest: Cursed City. Four of them are fairly standard-looking skeleton warriors with battered and worn-looking armour and spears and swords, and red cloaks flying around in the breeze. The one in the middle is a Kosargi Night Guard, a hulking zombie-looking brute that's a good 50% taller than the skeleton warriors, with rotting skin and wearing a torn-up knee-length cloak and a Mongolian-style fur hat. He's got a big long beard and is holding an absolutely massive axe.

We are nearing the very end! Another five miniatures down, only five to go!

A photo of three fully-painted miniatures. In the middle is Radukar the Wolf, he's a pale vampire wearing red pants and a big gold waist buckle thing, with his chest bear and two HUGE wolf pelts complete with heads and legs draped over his shoulders. One of the wolves is white and the other is dark brown, and Radukar has two deep gashes in his chest that match the three gashes in the head one one of the wolves. At the left and right of Radukar are the two Vyrkos Bloodborn vampires that aren't quite fully (or formerly) human because they've got clawed feet and one has fur on his thighs. The left one is crouched low mid-sprint with one hand held out in front of her like she's about to grab someone's throat and her other hand is out behind her holding a long thin sword. The right one is holding onto the top of a ruined stone column with one hand and dangling off the side with his feet holding onto the column and he's also holding a long thin sword. Both the Bloodborn have their swords bloodied, as well as their hands and their swords.

It might be over six months since I last touched them, but that's three more Warhammer Quest miniatures down: the remaining two Vyrkos Bloodborn plus the big bad of the whole Cursed City box, Radukar the Wolf! It turns out I'd actually already done all the base colouring for Radukar over a year ago and had completely forgotten about him, so pretty much all that required was detailing and basing. Similarly the Bloodborn only needed their skin base colour done, then it was on to the detailing for them too.

With them down, I'm very much nearing the end... I've got another boss to go (Torgillius the Chamberlain), one more Kosargi Nightguard, then the last four of the skeleton warriors. Plus two tiny little gargoyle things and another two what look like zombie cats that I haven't actually seen mentioned anywhere in the rules or anything yet, so I don't know where they come into it. There's a sealed envelope that you only open once you're at the very end of the campaign so I'm assuming they show up there.

A photo of our dining table with a Warhammer Quest game set up on it. There are lots of cards and dice everywhere, and in middle are a bunch of variously-shaped tiles connected together that look like cobblestone alleys at night. There are four hero miniatures at the right (one heavily-armoured warrior woman with a sword, a vampire hunter with a long leather coat and a big hat, a steampunk dwarf, and a priest with a rich red robe and a big staff), and scattered across the map are TEN shambling zombies, three swarms of bats, three masses of rats, and Gorslav himself who is a thin and pale undead-looking fellow holding a spade.

A close-up photo of my dwarven hero Dagnai standing in a doorway facing six zombies and one of the bat swarms, while Gorslav lurks in the background. Behind Dagnai are the armoured warrior Emelda and the witch hunter Jelsen, and where my cleric Cleona should have been there is instead a "buried" token in her place indicating that she's been pulled underground.

After almost seven months (oops) we had @[email protected] over again for more Warhammer Quest!

This was the second part of the quest to kill Gorslav the Gravekeeper and hoo boy was it a nailbiter. There are three phylacteries scattered about the map, and when you kill Gorslav if there are any still remaining rather than actually killing Gorslav and removing the miniature from the battlefield, you instead remove the closest phylactery and remove all the wound counters from Gorslav himself and he remains where he is.

Our original plan was to sweep around and try to knock out the phylacteries and avoid fighting Gorslav but that quickly went by the wayside because we were absolutely swarmed with enemies almost immediately. And because this is a continuation of the previous game, the "nightfall" token started on position 9 out of a maximum of 10, where 10 is nightfall and all the enemies flip over to their empowered side that makes them stronger and nastier, so we spent every single turn past the first one fighting souped-up monsters. My dwarven hero Dagnai bravely held the line against a franky ridiculous number of zombies and went toe to toe against Gorslav himself and ended up quite badly wounded, but was given some breathing room by my cleric Cleona's ability to stun enemies which causes them to skip being able to do anything on their next activation. Cleona was also buried by one of Gorslav's abilities on two separate occasions and had to spend one of her activation dice to get out.

On top of all this, each turn there were enemy reinforcements coming in to replace the ones that have been killed, and Gorslav has an ability where if you roll poorly enough on his action table he brings back all ten zombies, which happened on more than one occasion. We ended up splitting the party up, where @[email protected]'s warrior Emelda and @[email protected]'s witch hunter Jelsen risked running off by themselves to destroy the final phylactery so we could kill Gorslav for good, while Cleona attemped to keep things stunned while Dagnai tried not to get killed. Thankfully it worked but man it with just one or two poor rolls it could have gone extremely badly!

A photo of three undercoated but otherwise mostly unpainted miniatures, on the left is a positively huge Kosargi Night Guard, he's a hulking zombie-looking brute with rotting skin and wearing a torn-up knee-length cloak and a Mongolian-style fur hat. He's got a big long beard and is holding an absolutely massive axe. Next to him are the two Vyrkos Bloodborn vampires that aren't quite fully (or formerly) human because they've got clawed feet and one has fur on his thighs. The left one is holding onto the top of an (actually painted) ruined stone column with one hand and dangling off the side with his feet holding onto the column and he's holding a long thin sword. The other one is crouched low mid-sprint with one hand held out in front of her like she's about to grab someone's throat and her other hand is out behind her also holding a long thin sword.

I have started painting more of my Warhammer Quest miniatures (for the first time since January last year, oops)! 🎉

One of the friends I play Kill Team with on Sunday nights suggested we could do a "hobby and hang" over video call, and it was such a good idea, we had a good hour and a half chatting and painting, and I've made some progress on the two remaining Vyrkos Bloodborn (plus a tiny amount on the Kosargi Nightguard).

A photo of our four hero miniatures standing next to and being positively LOOMED over by the Vargskyr, which is a massive hunched over demon/bat hybrid thing twice the height of the heroes, with red skin and brown fur down its arms. It has blood around its mouth and dripping from its claws and there's a pile of skulls on its base. In the distance across several board sections there are a group of rat swarms and another group of bat swarms ready to overwhelm us.

We had @[email protected] over today to finally continue our Warhammer Quest adventure! This time it was the first half of the next Kill The Big Bad journey, it was pretty smooth sailing compared to some of our previous efforts and we managed to stay ahead of the suffocating gravetide without too much issue. Plus we even took down the mighty Vargskyr before got a chance to attack us when it showed up!

All four heroes are inspired and ready for the second half next time, which I expect is going to be quite nasty: the target is Gorslav the Gravekeeper and he'll be accompanied by all ten of the zombie miniatures that come in the Cursed City box, plus a batch of corpse rats and a batch of bat swarms. Gorslav has a number of nasty abilities and can bring zombies back after you've killed them, so it's going to be hectic.

This afternoon with @wobin we finished off the next Big Bad in our Warhammer Quest adventures, the skeleton warrior Watch Captain Halgrim!

We were all inspired from the first half we did last time, but even so we absolutely destroyed everything, only to realise right at the end after we'd finished that there is a whole separate event table you're meant to roll on at the end of each turn and the bottom half of that is filled with things like "All the skeletons come back". 😬 So uh... oops! For the next game, it's the same sort of journey as this one (destroy another big bad) and we need to have done both before we get to level up to Level 3. I've made a note to remember the new event table, and it's going to be quite the fight because it's against Gorslav the Gravekeeper who not only hits like a truck but also makes zombies a lot nastier as well, and we'll be facing all ten of the zombie miniatures that come in the Cursed City box.

A photo of Emelda Braskov, one of the hero miniatures of Warhammer Quest, who is wearing heavy plate armour and holding a massive sword, facing off against four skeleton warriors in rusty armour and tattered red cloaks who are wielding spears and shields. Next to them is one of the "mysterious object" markers, which is a gallows pole with a skeleton hanging on it. The skeleton is clutching at its through where the noose is, and is pointing off to the left with its other hand.

We had @wobin over again for a continuation of our Warhammer Quest adventures, and it went a lot better than last time. This game was a "Decapitation" journey where we're off to kill one of the big bads, it's split into two stages where the first one involves fighting through to find their lair, and the second is actually killing the boss itself. We did just the first stage tonight, and ended up getting almost everyone inspired within the first two turns, which meant we were steamrollering through the hostiles for a while, though our momentum ended up grinding to a halt when @yayKM's warrior was extremely badly wounded taking on a room full of skeletons and had to hang back until we could heal her up. Next time it's going to be taking out Watch Captain Halgrim, the skeleton warrior boss, and nothing except his skeletal Ulfenwatch minions.

A photo of three of the heroes standing in a group with a horde of monsters coming into the room from two of the doors: six zombies and Gorslav the Gravekeeper who is this freaky emaciated undead thing from one door, and three of the skeleton warriors followed by the Vargskyr (a massive demon/bat thing that is over twice the height of anything else) from the other door.

Another Warhammer Quest journey with @wobin today, and oh my GOD was it a shocker. 😫

We played a Scavenge journey where you go around searching for loot and fighting off hostiles, but Radukar the Wolf (the MAIN big bad of the whole game) made his first appearance, my character Cleona was so badly wounded she ended up out of action (thankfully she didn't end up dying), everyone was constantly failing attacks they should have easily made, and we rolled so poorly on the end of turn event table that we ended up at the "Nightfall" point (where all the monsters are much more powerful) FOUR turns earlier than we should have otherwise. 😬

It was an absolute rollercoaster, even outside of Cleona being taken out of action everyone else had multiple times where they'd taken so much damage they were only two short of being taken completely out of action, only to claw their way back and then get wounded all over again, then right at the end it was a mad scramble to get everyone to the exit point. As is frequently the case, hero of the match went to my dwarf Dagnai Holdenstock who was able to be inspired early and just slaughtered his way through everything. He got an upgrade in the post-game phase where damage from his weapons can't be ignored, which is going to be REALLY good because there are three or four types of hostiles that have some sort of "Roll the D12 and on a (certain number) or higher, damage is reduced by X amount" and it bit us so many times.

It has blood around its mouth and dripping from its claws and there's a pile of skulls on its base.

A photo of Dagnai my dwarven hero, he's a steampunk-looking dwarf with an axe and a harpoon gun thing, facing off through a doorway against three shambling zombies and four skeleton warriors in rusty armour and wearing rotted red cloaks.

A full two months after the last game (oops), we had @wobin over for another Warhammer Quest game! We did another Deliverance journey, where you need to stay ahead of the Suffocating Gravetide curse and warn the citizens of its approach, and we absolutely smashed it despite the Vargskyr making an appearance. We found from the last one of these we did that as long as you can get sufficiently ahead at the beginning it's not too much trouble to keep clear of the Gravetide, it's when you get stuck fighting hostiles and can't make any forward progress that you really end up in trouble.

To be fair, @yayKM's character was VERY heavily wounded in that fight, but thankfully I had a very convenient healing potion equipment I was able to give her and she rolled very well and was able to recover all the wounds she'd lost. We did a lot better this game, everyone ended up inspired, and my dwarf Dagnai singlehandedly faced down an entire room of zombies and skeletons and took most of them out, barely taking a scratch in return!

The next game is going to be a rough start though, I rolled EXTREMELY poorly on the event table at the end of the game, and THE big bad, Radukar the Wolf, is going to make an appearance at the beginning of next game despite him ordinarily not showing up until we're Level 3 (we're Level 2 right now). 😬
