Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower

It came to me, my own, my love, my precious..

I’ve finally received my copy of Silver Tower! 🙂

Intro
The original Hero Quest and Warhammer Quest games were my gateway into the hobby – I loved those games! Sadly my original games where lost but a couple of years ago I got hold of a complete Hero Quest for a decent sum and now I’m biding my time for the first WHQ.

Anyway the point is, Silver Tower triggered something in me that would not be refused (nostalgia in part I guess) so I dived in headfirst! Especially since tzeentch is the key antagonist here. I mean seriously, I stood no chance 😉

Unboxing

The well known box per now. Actually it's smaller than I thought.

I bought it with some WDs.

Bonus here is the character card for a nurgle lord and I know just the friend who'd like that!

The jam packed contents. I'd definitely need a suitcase to carry around the miniatures.

Bewildering amount of content here and I definitely need more time to orientate and plan what I want to do with it.

Heroes and Summoner. This is exactly like the clam packs.

These are leaflets not books but I won't judge anything until I've played it.

Cards and dice. Note the character card for a battle mage. I got it with my order and as he was my fav character from the original I'm very pleased.

Here's all sides of the rooms as well as tokens. I won't comment on each.

All in all very atmospheric and alien and I like that.

Verdict so far
This is all looking very promising so far and I’m trying to create interest in my group for some games – which looks positive BTW. In fact I think it’s no wonder that this release is so exciting because we can finally see the contours of AoS outside of Stormcast and Khorne 🙂

I’m also a big fan of the app and for the chance to expand it through that medium. Having such a large pool of characters to choose from so early is a massive bonus imo and it gives people the chance to bring their own favorite characters.

Finally I’d say that the low rules content isn’t really that worrying as I see AoS as almost limitless in how you can layer and expand it as we go. This is just the start I’d wager.

My plan
Well if you’re a regular of this blog you know I have no qualms with chopping up and using both oop and brand new kits as I see fit.

There’s nothing different now just as you know 😉

Though I’ll use my PtG warband for what it’s worth. I have simply put too many hours into those miniatures not to and I want to free up some of the Silver Tower miniatures for other..stuff..like projects..and yeah..probably an offering to the glorious bitz box 😉
