Warhammer Quest – The Imperial Vault

Rodeo Games and Games Workshop have announced a computer game version of Warhammer Quest. Due for release Spring 2013, at the moment, much like their e-book offerings, it looks like this will be exclusively sold through the Apple App Store for their popular iPad and iPhone devises, rather than as a console or PC game, and there is no mention of expanding this for Android devices at a later date.

Rodeo are due to attend Games Day 2012 in the UK so hopefully more information about this game will be forthcoming then.

Hopefully this means we can look forward to some lovely new artwork and ideas for the venerable tabletop version of the game, and hopefully a legion of people interested in picking up the game. Who knows, if the game is massively popular, perhaps Games Workshop will even consider reviving or freeing Warhammer Quest for the fans!

The screenshots of the game from the announcement on the Games Workshop “What’s New Today” blog look amazing, and make sure you check out the official trailer from Rodeo on YouTube. This is particularly exciting off the back of the ‘Free Warhammer Quest‘ campaign and impassioned letters and emails penned over the years by this author and many others.

The official announcement from Games Workshop can be found here, and the announcement from Rodeo Games here.

A new Warhammer Quest play sheet has been added to the Warhammer Quest Downloads section. This single sheet reference is a PDF guide to playing Warhammer Quest, and was kindly donated by Universal Head. There are lots of reference guides over on the Headless Hollow site, so go check it out if you like any kind of board game.
This reference guide has a very quick overview of how to play the game, including the order in which things are done, when to turn over new cards and so on, and is therefore mostly useful to new or more casual players, although experienced players may still find it handy to have around.

Thanks Universal Head!

Jonathan Uziak of usiakart.com has kindly contributed no fewer than eleven Custom Board sections for Warhammer Quest. These Board Sections are original work by Jonathan, and the set includes some varied Board Sections for your games of Warhammer Quest, from passageways to Dungeon Rooms and Objective Rooms. You can check out Jonathan’s Board Sections in the Downloads section and his other work over on usiakart.com. Thanks Jonathan!

The first board section has been added to the Downloads section. To kick things off we have a custom Warhammer Quest board section submitted by Sebastian Stuart of sebastian-stuart.com & eastern-empire.com. This board section is brand new tile created by Seb, and features a sunken chamber for the Warriors to wade through. Seb has promised more sections are on the way and we’ll be posting his board sections as we get them, so watch this space!
