9:36 IIRC there's one other piece of evidence for the unreleased and unfinished Chaos Dwarf expansion. Have a look at one of the early White Dwarf articles about original WHQ--either the first introductory article upon release, or the article about Lair of the Orc Lord. At the end of the article, there's a mention of future planned expansions. I don't have the original quote handy, but it goes something like: "Designer #1 is investigating the Land of the Dead [for Catacombs of Terror], designer #2 is exploring the sewers of blah-blah-blah [for the Skaven expansion], and designer #3 has ventured into the tunnels of Zharr-Naggrund [the Chaos Dwarf capital]."

@@jordansorcery besides the White Dwarf article mentioning it, I met Andy Jones in person several years ago, when he was a guest of honor at my local gaming convention (Kublacon) here in the US. I brought a copy of the WHQ 95 rule book for him to sign. As it turned out, I think I was the *only* person who asked him to sign anything that weekend, so we talked Warhammer Quest for 5 minutes or so and he told me that he had indeed created an entire Chaos Dwarf expansion for the game, similar to Lair of the Orc Lord, but that it never got published. So that’s first-hand confirmation for me, at least. Fortunately with Littlemonk’s extensive efforts, we have more than enough quality expansions to work with, including his Chaos Dwarf expansion, Mountains of Mayhem. It would be nice to get an hold of those original works, but at least we have alternatives. :-)

Even though the core set only held minis for a few monster types, they still included the massive lists of monsters and extra game options. A rarity when it comes to such big box board games where the tendency is to drip them out, bit by bit, in expansions. I expect it was done to convince people to buy more of their minis, but I appreciated it all the same.

I didn’t mind Death Angel, but I didn’t play a lot of it really. The Adventure Card Game on the other hand has been a regular - it’s just so much fun!

@@jordansorcery shda was an ocean of text on cards all over the table plus a manual, very painful experience. A long standing life goal is to showcase the fan based content in wqacg, not sure if I ever will get to it, but there is that. I do have a problem with FFG, underlined after lotr (sold it) and AH:LCG (have it) that they are just not able to downscale their games properly, it's 4 players or too bad you die. For 2p wq I play with -1 to every spawn.

Oi! Dat’s my leg! The Troll Games are the best GW games ever. Period. I will flick gobbo snot in the eye of anyone who says otherwise.

That said, I think I would have loved Warhammer Quest, because I adored Advanced Heroquest and made loads of my own rules, tiles and stuff, but 1995 was when I went to university and discovered more worldly pleasures…. so I wasn’t aware of this game.

Wizard is a job description, barbarian is a lifestyle, dwarf is a derogatory term, and elf is a sexual orientation. There you go!

In the mid 80s, I started playing AD&D. Then I played Heroquest which I considered mediocre at best. It tried to be AD&D without the annoying upkeep and roleplaying concentrating on the tactical combat. I failed spectacularly. It had so few options that you play it once and you're done with it and it did not even eliminate the need for a DM. Warhammer Quest was a spectacular tactical combat game that succeeded where HQ failed. A coop tactical combat game with many many options, a fully realized world, and no DM. It still rivals some of the ones released today.

Totally agree about WHQ! The genius of the dungeon and event cards allowing any combination/number of players just makes it so flexible. And the quality of the game really has ensured it’s still a great time even today!
