I recently dug my Warhammer Quest box out of the back of the atic to give it a whirl and discovered that all I had was the tiles and pieces. The manuals are long gone, probably borrowed by a friend and never returned. What i'm looking for is a PDF or WORD document or scan of all the rules for warhammer quest. Warhammer Quest fanpage.

Game[edit]

Mainly written by Andy Jones, Warhammer Quest utilizes a set of simple game mechanics to simulate the Warriors' actions as they explore and fight through the dungeons of the Old World. The game puts a strong emphasis on co-operative and thoughtful play by the players in order to survive against the myriad monsters they inevitably face.

Primarily designed for four players, the original game continues the tradition of HeroQuest by supplying a Barbarian, Wizard, Dwarf, and Elf as its main Warriors.

The game components are[1]

Pdf
  • a 4-page introductory booklet
  • a 32-page rule book
  • 10 plastic dungeon doorways
  • a 192-page role-playing book
  • a 16-page adventure book
  • 56 plastic bases
  • 91 plastic miniatures
  • 108 playing cards
  • 32 game board sections
  • 58 counters and tokens
  • 4 character cards
  • 50-sheet adventure record pad
  • 18 six-sided dice;
  • game box

Treasure[edit]

The game focuses on the acquisition of vast amounts of treasure, which is divided into two types:

  • Dungeon Room treasure is collected after every group of Dungeon Monsters are killed.
  • Objective Room treasure is sometimes collected once the warriors have killed all monsters within the given objective room or as a reward at the end of the Adventure.

Treasure can be sold for gold, which can then be used to pay for training and advancement, as well as buying items essential to survival: healing, a weapon, extra armour, or magical talismans that evoke special abilities.

Monsters[edit]

All of the hostile creatures encountered by Warrior parties are known under the collective name of 'Monsters'. Almost all Warhammer creatures of the time were included in the Bestiary section of the Roleplay Book. Monsters are broadly divided into the following species:

  • Chaos (Warriors and Daemons)
  • Monsters (creatures with no specific affiliation e.g. Gorgons, Ogres, Dragons etc.)
  • Undead

Lizardmen are the only major race not to feature in the game. They were later released as an additional supplement in the Warhammer Quest magazine 'Deathblow'.

The challenge of encounters is related to the current Dungeon level and the strength of the party. At lower levels, a small group of Orcs will provide a reasonable challenge; at higher levels, tougher opponents such as Ogres and Dragons are encountered.

Warhammer Quest Roleplaying[edit]

The game was released with a Roleplay Book, which enables players to expand their games by introducing tabletop roleplaying game mechanics. When used, the Roleplay Book offers the players the chance to travel between Settlements, train to the next level, visit numerous shops and traders, as well as visit Special Locations. The Wizard, Elf, and Dwarf have a Special Location that was exclusive to each of them and, if their luck was good and if they had enough gold, they could buy specialty items to help them in their adventures.

Additionally, the Roleplay Book introduces the element of Psychology, which includes new rules for Fear, Terror, Hatred, Breaking (fleeing), and being Prone. There are also rules and descriptions for using two new Characteristics: Luck and Willpower.

The Roleplay Book also contains a bestiary of Monsters that the warriors might encounter. The Roleplay Book also offers a Hazards Table (for use when traveling to a village, town or city), a Settlement Events Table (for use when spending time in a settlement), extra Treasure and Objective Room Treasure tables as well as ‘Battle-level Monster Tables’ for use as the Warriors' careers progress.

The last section of the Roleplay Book contains guidelines for writing adventures and Warrior development. It also contains an entire pre-written campaign for the Gamemaster and the Warriors to play as well as introducing the first expansion Warrior of Warhammer Quest: the Dwarf Trollslayer.

Warrior progression[edit]

Every Warrior can be progressed up to 10 stages or ‘Battle Levels’. In many role-playing games, character advance by accumulating experience points. In Warhammer Quest a Warrior accumulates gold to advance battle-levels and can also use the gold to buy items. Every monster encountered and killed is worth a certain amount of Gold. In addition, the Warrior can sell any treasure at the end of the adventure. The leader carrying the lantern (typically the Barbarian) decides which warrior gained an item of treasure.

Expansions[edit]

A number of expansions were released for Warhammer Quest. These included two new adventure packs, several Warrior packs as well as additional Treasure Card packs and a set of blank Monster Cards & Event cards, where players could record their own monsters from the Warhammer world that were not written within the Roleplay book or else not produced as an official card by Games Workshop.

Adventure packs[edit]

There were two adventure packs released for the game. Lair of the Orc Lord contained six new adventures against Greenskins (Orcs & Goblins) while Catacombs of Terror featured six new adventures that pitted the Warriors against the evils of the Undead. Both expansions contained new, pewter models to represent their enemies as well as new Board tiles and cards.

Warrior packs[edit]

Games Workshop released packs for nine additional Warriors, all of which had some background within the Warhammer world. The packs consisted of a Warrior model, rulebook and a set of card tokens detailing the warrior's original statistics & equipment. The rulebooks offered a piece of background as to the warrior-type & a set of rules to use the warrior including details about any new special locations they might visit, skills or equipment they could obtain as well as details about their Battle Level progression. The Warrior Packs released were as follows:

  • Pit Fighter
  • Warrior Priest
  • Imperial Noble
  • Elf Ranger
  • Dwarf Trollslayer
  • Chaos Warrior
  • Wardancer
  • Witch Hunter
  • Bretonnian Knight

Deathblow introduced eight new Warriors: The Halfling Thief, Kislev Shaman, an Assassin, an Ogre, Druid of Albion, Dwarf Brewmaster, Salty Seadog & Lord of Aenarion.

Sequels[edit]

Eighteen years after the game ceased production, Games Workshop released Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower (2016)[2] and Warhammer Quest: Shadows Over Hammerhal (2017)[3]. These games follow the original in overall design as dungeon crawling board games, but with substantially different rulesets.

Other implementations[edit]

On 20 August 2012 GW announced Warhammer Quest for iOS devices.[4] The development company is Rodeo Games.[5] It was released on 30 May 2013.

It was later ported to PC, Mac and Linux by Twistplay and was released by Chilled Mouse on Steam on 7 January 2015,[6] Android on 25 June 2015,[7] and later to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Warhammer Quest 2 by Perchang was released on 20 October 2017 for iOS[8] and for Android on 11 April 2018.[9]

Reception[edit]

In the January 1996 edition of Dragon (Issue 225), Rick Swan liked the high quality of the game components, and the 'easy-on-the-brain explanations' of the rules. But Swan objected to actual object of the game, which he summed up as 'a string of random events, most of them combat encounters, with an occasional death trap thrown in to break the monotony.' Swan also noted the game's complete lack of realism, but said, 'Warhammer Quest doesn’t pretend to be realistic, and therefore doesn’t deserve to be criticized for its lack of logic. That’s like criticizing a candy bar for its lack of vitamins.' Swan concluded by giving the game an average rating of 4 out of 6, and only recommended the game as a means of training up new role-players: 'Warhammer Quest does a admirable job of incorporating role-playing fundamentals, and thus serves as a painless introduction to RPGs. And when Quest-ers get the hang of hit points and attribute scores, that’s where you step in with Call of Cthulhu or the AD&D game.'[1]

Review title of SaintRagnar0kFun, but odd controls

Warhammer Quest Pdf Download Free

This game was originally a phone app, and is obvious when you play. on Android, it costs $4.80, but additional 'DLC' is $3 a pop, with 10ish DLC. This game appears to already have most, if not all, DLC. just want to throw that out there, so people know that you get more with this $30 version. now to the actual game, its fun. its a hack and slash kind of game, with some spells thrown in. graphics are pretty old looking, and the controls for the game are weird. Example, to read a spells effect, you need to hold Y, move with D-Pad, and then hold down A... While holding Y the whole time. its just Wonky, but combat is easy and fun. going to towns show where controls are the worst, hard to navigate and read text boxes that pop up. this game would be 10X Better with realist changes to item/chat boxes. it just bogs the game down, and frustrates. the $30 price seems a bit much for a game that hasnt been optimized for consoles. Only get this if you are a Warhammer fan or have money to blow.
