Hello my friends! After about a week, or maybe more, without a word from me, I'm back to business... During the entire week we have been flooded with more and more information about the new Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower. Today I bring you a summary of which was released during the week and some new stuff from Forge World!
Back from 1994... but now with a Sigmarine!
This weekend GW is introducing Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower! And the next WD will be a "bumper-sized issue" where you’ll find the complete lowdown on this splendid new boxed game, with Warscrolls for the heroes contained within. That’s right; not only are the heroes great miniatures to play the new game with, but you can field them in Warhammer Age of Sigmar!
There’s also a battle report taking you through the first of the game’s quests and part one of a Paint Splatter showing you how to paint up some of the striking miniatures from the game. But for now all we have are some images and this video of the unboxing!
Oh no, Mormons!
Just kidding... the true unboxing is next!
The miniatures will be compatible with regular games and the rules for this will be in WD 120 (The heroes) and WD 121 (The bad guys). There will also be a special in-store launch pack with deluxe and limited edition gaming accessories! See photo & details below!
Those enterprising Texans from FNP Wargamers have a copy of Silver Tower to unbox for us all! It looks like one set of Texans got into a car and drove over to Richmond TX to get the community an unboxing. Enjoy folks!
TADA – Behold the tantalising box in his hands!
Games Workshop is now releasing a brand new edition for this established and well known & recognised game, full with new miniatures and updated game play. This is a re-imaging of a classic game, where the heroes must battle their way through the Silver Tower to defeat the trials set by the Gaunt Summoner. It is a 2-4 player game, with a random game length depending on the table lay-out and the number of players.
The miniatures will be compatible with regular games and the rules for this will be in WD 120 (The heroes) and WD 121 (The bad guys). There will also be a special in-store launch pack with deluxe and limited edition gaming accessories! See photo & details below!
Shiny!
A brand new game in a box, telling the story of a group of mighty heroes battling their way through the Silver Tower. The box contains:
51x brand new highly detailed plastic miniatures, the quality of which there is nothing else like it on the market. Some miniatures are brand new concepts for the army, and will excite many customers! The miniatures have a dynamic single pose and will require glue and assembly (they are not push fit, however easy to put together). The miniatures can be divided into two camps:
The Warhammer Quest Heroes
6x individual Warhammer Quest heroes
Knight Questor – The Paladin (Stormcast Eternal)
Darkoeth Chieftan – The Barbarian (Free People)
Fyreslayer Doomseeker The Dwarf (Dwarf)
Excelsior War priest & Gryph Hound – The header and war priest companion (Free People)
Mistweaver Saith – Female wizard (Aelf)
Tenebrand Shard – The assassin (Aelf)
The Denizens
44x individual Warhammer Quest monsters that live in the Silver Tower. The below list of miniatures make for a great addition or a start of an original Grand Alliance Chaos army!
Gaunt Summoner
Ogroid Traumaturge
2x Skaven Deathrunners
8x Familiars
6x Tzaangors (Beastmen)
8x Kairic Acolytes
2x Pink Horrors
4x Blue Horrors
4x pairs of Brimstone Horrors
8x Grot Scuttlings
Gaming Accessories
A guide book
An adventure quest book
13x Reversible board tiles with different landscapes
6x Hero character cards
36x Skill and treasure cards
40x Exploration (event) cards, to offer even more variation to the game so that each game will be different.
A booklet with assembly instructions
Gaming accessories such as assorted gaming counters and dice sets
The game comes in a high quality rigid box (Dark Vengeance size). The box is full with miniatures and game components and therefore fairly heavy.
These new models look pretty great! I’m glad to see that Tzeentch is getting some love (finally). I’m also really pumped to get a better look at the hero models – we finally get some new Elves (or Aelfs) for Age of Sigmar. I wonder if this will start an Tzeentch Arcanites expansion...
Also today Forge World unveils the new Tau Barracuda AX-5-2 just in time for Warhammer Fest – Come check out this updated Tau Flyer!
Is it... slimmer?!

Right at the last minute, another fantastic model has swooped in! Making a perfect landing just in time for Warhammer Fest is the brand new Tau Barracua AX-5-2, check it out…Not only has the design of the Barracuda been updated, take a look at all of the new weapon options that come in the kit…
Pew pew!
The new Barracuda will be available first at Warhammer Fest. If want to get hold of this awesome new model before anyone else, then make sure you’re at the event this weekend! Tickets are available on the door, and you can find more information HERE.
And just for comparison sake here is the previous version of the Tau Barracuda:
Old Barracuda...
There isn’t a TON of differences but wings and drone placement are different. The engines also got some fin upgrades. The missile racks also got an overhaul. Couple those changes with all the new weapon options and I think we have a winner!
Speaking of flyers... here's a review of the latest Death From The Skies Supplement...
Apparently every marine chapter gets their version of the new flyers...
And that's all for now. Thank you for your time and hoping to write to you soon.
