Games Workshop - Warhammer Quest - Cursed City: Nemesis (Expansion)

Product Information

The system lends weight to the already strongly-flavoured ‘creatures of the night’ themethat pervades thegame, root and stem. It also bodes well for making the action feel driven, andensuring thatthe scariest fights cancontinue to be scary, evenonce the heroeshave levelled up. I like it rather a lot. According to an official Warhammer Community post, Warhammer Quest: Cursed City - Nemesis will contain one last questline. Players will be tasked with defending the doomed townsfolk from Radukar the Wolf, Ulfenkarn's undead tyrannical ruler. The Nemesis expansion will include the following:

Games Workshop have announced Warhammer Quest: Cursed City - Nemesis. This is the second expansion to Games Workshop's best-selling board game, one where players enter the city of Ulfenkarn and defend its inhabitants from legions of the undead. It will also be the final expansion for the board game, containing one last major boss battle to tie things up. Warhammer Quest: Cursed City - Nemesis Still, his functional immortality – provided by the mysterious grave-sand technologydiscoveredby his loyal Chamberlain, Torgillius – and the sheer weight of undead minionry at this fanged freak’s command, make Radukar a weighty enough villain. The Cursed City expansions sold out much faster than expected, and we didn’t want to deprive our heroes of the chance to purge Ulfenkarn of the Soulblight menace once and for all. For just a morsel of Gotrek action from the World-that-Was, Orcslayer by Nathan Long provides just that. After 20 years of exploring strange new lands, Gotrek and Felix return to the Old World, and an ancient path leads the pair to a dwarf prince who wants to reclaim his kingdom from hordes of Greenskins. Taking into account the broad sweep of its gameplay, the variability in the campaign’s missions (called Journeys), the time required to reach its set-piece boss battles, and the many assorted ancillary jollies your characters can and will find themselves on – this one is going to take a bit of time to have proper conclusions on.

WARHAMMER QUEST: CURSED CITY CONTENTS

In summary, if you liked the first game and Nightwars and could go for more, you might as well finish up the storyline. Just don’t go in buying this alongside the core game. And in Rynn’s World by Steve Parker, Warlord Snagrod’s ork hordes are preparing to descend on the Crimson Fists’ home planet. After tragedy befalls the defenders, will the handful of Space Marines left under Chapter Master Kantor’s command be able to avert Orkish annihilation? Mortarion: Der Fahle König

The rules come in two separate booklets: the Rules Book and the Quest Book. The former gives you the turn system, key mechanics, and fundamental nuts and bolts of the game, and does so quite neatly and readably, making learning less painful than I guessed. The latteris pretty much a compendium of rolling tables(and the correspondingprocedural permutations) for the events in each of the Journeysyou’ll make in Ulfenkarn in Peril, themain story questlinethat’s covered by the Cursed City boxed game. Customers in Japan will get their own opportunity to get their hands on both expansions a little later than the rest of the world, because Nemesis is launching there next year. Gotrek Gurnisson is so tough he survived the death of an entire world. Does that make him the best Slayer, or the worst? Regardless of your position on this, The Gotrek Gurnisson Collection rounds up all of Darius Hinks’ stories of Gotrek in the Mortal Realms in one lavish release, presented in a very fancy slipcase. There’s even a bonus, never-before-seen story included – The Crown of Karak-Khazar – making it a must for every Gotrek superfan. 12 Tales of Christmas eShorts Subscription game cards, including encounters, Elite Class traits, empowerments, discovery cards, vampiric power cards, and a Nightwars quest cardHaven is rife with rumours that Radukar himself is among these creatures, having adopted a hideous new form …

Citadel Colour Masterclass have prepared a tutorial for green armour – the iconic shade associated with the Dark Angels, though this rich green is applicable to many other miniatures.He’s got a witch-finder’s pointy hat and high collar, a rifle with an underslung stake launcher, a bandolier of extra stakes, and a hammer, anda big sword.

If you want to play you need to buy a fair number of models. Radukar the Beast, Lady Annika the Thirsting Blade, Kritza the Rat Prince and the Vampire Lord. The Vampire Lord represents a named character here, Carmilla DuSang, it’s hard to tell if this was the intended use of the Vampire Lord from the start and she got rebranded as a generic Vampire Lord for Age of Sigmar or not. You also need to grab some Fell Bats as they are utilized in the new random encounters table. Surprisingly, Belladamma Volga does not make an appearance. Maybe a future expansion? A few more upgrades exist for the heroes as well, as to be expected. Paragon Classes now exist, another specialization to delve into once you cap your Elite class. These work exactly like Elite classes did, 2 options for each base class that further specialize their role. Again, no new characters but not surprising with the end of the story being nigh. This wasn’t the intended ending. Cursed City was unfortunately cancelled and this is what the writers came up with in the time allotted to them. Magnus the Red is the 41st Millenium’s premiere big scarlet-skinned chap, at least until his very angry brother turns up. Joining him are 23 of his sons – 20 dusty Rubric Marines and three Exalted Sorcerers living their best arcane life. Battleforce: Death Guard – Council of The Death Lord Ulfenkarn’s very ownCassandra of Greek myth, she spentyears – before Radukar’s rise to power – desperately trying to convince the city’s common folk of the truth to her visions that an undead takeoverwas coming.So the main difference is in the outcome of the civilian population. Saving thousands of lives is never a bad thing, but the game’s logic starts to break down here. Age of Sigmar’s setting is so huge that the loss of thousands of lives is minuscule in the context of the wider story. Maybe I have been playing too much 40k, but I doubt the Imperium would risk 8 space marines for several thousand lives. We have no indication that these people are particularly useful, valuable or possess any other trait that the loss of 8 demi-god level heroes would justify. Thousands of lives are lost every day in the AoS world and so it seems weird that: A these losses would be a particular tragedy, B: they would be sufficient fodder to elevate a vampire to mortarch status. I know this sounds cold, but it makes it hard to see even the game’s best outcome as nothing more than the team taking a solid “L”. Not only are the skeleton and zombie models’ equipment highly unlikely to beconducive toyour early lists, but all the other baddie models from Cursed City must be taken as a whole group, for a whopping 680 points. It’s hard enough to be stealthy when you’re a nine-foot tall super soldier, but how about the challenge of going covert with not one but two Invictor Tactical Warsuits? If anyone would know how to pull that off, it’s Raven Guard Chapter Master Kayvaan Shrike, who also leads a squad of Reivers, a trio of Eliminators, and a Phobos-armoured Librarian for a total of 17 miniatures ready for an ambush. Players will choose from 8 heroes, Witch Hunter, Vampire Hunter, General, Kharadron entrepreneur, Duelist, Missionary, Necromancy and Ogor Mercenary. Which sounds like my ‘looks for’ list on tinder… This is a big selection of characters that will bring variety to your adventures.
