Warhammer Quest Goblins With Spears

I have finished painting the spear armed goblins from the Warhammer Quest boxed game. As with the other groups of monsters, I tried to add some variety by giving them different colored cloth, belts, and furs. They also all had different shields, and painting unique shields added a lot to the painting time for these guys. However, with these goblins completed, I now have all of the miniatures (monsters and heroes) from my Warhammer Quest boxed game painted! All I have left is the doorway sections, and the boxed game will be completely done. I will put up a post soon with some pictures of all the painted miniatures from the game, but for now have a look at the goblins with spears below.

Warhammer Quest: Destroy the Warpstone Icon

Rumours abound of a powerful long-lost Skaven artefact that has been rediscovered in the Worlds Edge Mountains. The artefact is a skull-shaped icon made from raw warpstone, and its mutating powers are said to be beyond imagination. The icon must be destroyed at all costs to stop the Skaven reclaiming it. Unfortunately, the only way to destroy the icon is to hurl it into the cleansing flames of the firechasm.

I did something a little different this time, and put the captions directly on the images for more of a comic book styled report. You can click on the images to see larger versions so the text is easier to read. Let me know what you think of the new format.

Warhammer Quest: Extinguish the Flames

Below the lost Dwarf stronghold of Karak Vlag, the ancient forge fires still burn. Now occupied by evil creatures, the flames’ magical energies are being used to create chaotic and cursed weapons. The forges must be extinguished before their new masters learn how to manufacture weapons of even more awesome power.

The Dwarf Lord of Zhufbar is host to the descendants of the lords of Karak Vlag, and shares their fears. Although the quenching of the ancient flames seems an act of unthinkable wrong, it is the only option available to prevent the creation of a greater evil.

The exiled lords of Karak Vlag know that only the first item forged in the magical fires - a ring - can extinguish the flames. As the ring is an ancient Dwarf treasure, it must be hurled into the chasm by a Dwarf. If the Dwarf is killed, then the Warriors have, by default, failed.

The Warriors must first defeat the guardians of the firechasm, as only then can the Dwarf hurl the ring into its depths. The ring in question is located on one of the claws of a dragon statue that decorates the firechasm.

Warhammer Quest Goblins With Bows

I am continuing to paint the miniatures from the Warhammer Quest boxed game. I have now finished the six Goblins with bows. As with my other groups of Warhammer Quest miniatures, since they are all identical, I tried to add some variety with the paint jobs. This actually has an added gameplay benefit, I've discovered. Players can easily indicate which monster they intend to attack by the color the monster is wearing, instead of having to point to the model. Below are some pictures of the finished Goblins with bows.

Warhammer Quest: Banish the Daemon

The great Wizards of the Empire have scried out a powerful, brooding power that is growing below the ancient Dwarf hold of Karak Azgal. As yet, they believe the presence to be relatively weak, and therefore probably bound to some material artefact such as a statue while it gathers strength.

Although they do not know its purpose, they suspect that it may be a lesser daemon of the Chaos Powers, trapped in the rocks below the earth in ages past, and freed by the incessant digging of the Goblins and Orcs as they search for the lost treasure of the Dwarfs who once inhabited the city. The truth is that the daemon has escaped the prison of rock that held it for so long, and is now resident in a statue of a great fire dragon in an ancient temple (the firechasm). Soon it will fully awaken, and walk the world once more. The Wizards have employed the Warriors to destroy the daemon and ensure that this never happens.

Warhammer Quest Orcs With Bows

I am continuing to paint the miniatures from the Warhammer Quest boxed game. I have now finished the six Orcs with Bows. As with my other groups of Warhammer Quest miniatures, since they are all identical, I tried to add some variety with the paint jobs. With these Orcs, I gave them some different colored outfits, belts, pouches, and boots.

Warhammer Quest Snotlings and Giant Spiders

I am continuing to paint the miniatures from the Warhammer Quest boxed game. I've just recently finished painting the 12 Snotlings and 12 Giant Spiders from the boxed game. Below are some pictures of the results. As always, you can click on a picture for a larger version.
