Warhammer Quest enters the city

Games Workshop previewed a lot of things this past week-end, but the one which caught my eye was the new Warhammer Quest game, the Cursed City.

Details are scant so far, but the game has its own website now, where further details will be added as the release draws closer. What we were treated to is an image of one of the 8 heroes (Agents of Defiance, in game speak), and one of the overlords:

The change of setting from dungeon (or tower) to a city is a good one in my opinion. The Cursed City website has details of several city districts, which leads me to wonder whether the game will have a flat board, or more 3D terrain, and also whether we’ll see a base game with several expansions to flesh out the districts in more detail, kind of like Talisman.

It will be several more months before all is revealed but I’m looking forward to this one. My current Warhammer Quest collection (the original box, the two expansions, plus Silver Tower) is almost fully painted now. This set looks like it would make a nice addition. For some reason Warhammer Quest never really covered fighting the undead in great depth, the single expansion from the original game notwithstanding. If Cursed City changes that, all to the good.
