Warhammer Quest Compendium

- INTRODUCTION -

E xtremely unofficial Compendium containing all the Warhammer Quest articles which have appeared in Games Workshop’s

White Dwarf magazine. The issues that contained the articles are not available from Games Workshop any longer, so this

document is designed to act as an archive for those of you who would like to keep your original issues as pristine as possible.

- INTRODUCTION -

The format and look of the original articles has been preserved as much as possible, but compromises have been taken in order to

keep the size of this document manageable, for instance photographs have been reduced to 256 colours etc.

The Compendium has been split into two volumes Volume 1 (this one) has all the articles and text, while Volume two has the

extra board sections and event cards etc. This was done to reduce the file size.

There is a lot of good articles here and they’re bound to offer something to even the most jaded Warrior.

Enjoy.

- MISSION IMPOSSIBLE -

(Originally in White Dwarf number 185)

By Gavin Thorpe

Occasionally, among their perilous adventures and heroic deeds, a party of Warriors will be caught up in a really unusual

series of events. They may get lost or imprisoned - anything could happen. To represent these possibilities, Gavin has

written the following rules to allow your brave Warriors to venture forth on a Special Quest.

SPECIAL QUESTS

S ometimes a straightforward adventure gets a hit more

complex than it first seemed. Warriors may get lost or- be

ambushed and captured before they reach the dungeon.

The Warriors may even decide to go on a quest which they

know will be more perilous than normal. The rewards for

such bravery are great. and because of this some Warriors

make a special effort to seek out impossible odds to face

(these parties often include a large number of Dwarf Troll

Slayers!).

used to introduce an unexpected twist to your games. In

future issues we will feature more Special Quests,

Objective rooms and other expansions for your

Warhammer Quest adventures.

DUNGEON CARDS

T o use the Special Quest card simply shuffle it in with

your objective room cards when you are starting your

adventure. If you draw the Special Quest card, roll to see

which mishap or special circumstance has affected your

heroic Warriors. This is just like finding out which

adventure you are playing with a normal Objective room.

Alternatively, you can choose to set out on a Special

Quest, eager for the greater rewards to be gained. If you

decide to do this. simply roll a dice and consult the

following pages to find out what the Warriors have found

themselves embroiled in.

The Special Quest card and floorplan al the end of this

article. together with the three new Special Quests, can be

L eaning on his gnarled oak staff Fizantan the Marvellous waited

patiently: for the young Warriors to recover from the shock of

meeting such a fabled enchanter. Once their gasps of astonishment

had subsided, he reached into the recesses of his voluminous robe and

drew our the legendary Amulet of' Vanhels.

His last words were cut off by a massive explosion and a brilliant

flash of white light.

Rubbing their eyes, the Warriors blinked at their new surroundings.

Everything had changed They weren't in the woods any more and

Fizantan was nowhere to be seen. As their eyesight returned to

normal they noticed the strange runes and carvings on the walls.

“This talisman” he said “contains the power of one of the mightiest

sorcerers ever to walk the world. If it were to fall into evil hands

there 's no telling what would happen! You must ensure that it is

safely returned to its resting place before others find out that if is

loose once more.”

They had obviously been magically transported to the temple of

Dagnatz, deep inside the Worlds Edge Mountains! All they had to do

to complete their quest was to place the Amulet of

Vanhels on the Shrine of Sigmar and return to collect their well

earned payment.

Handing the blood-red pendant to the leader of the Warriors,

Fizantan the Marvellous stepped backwards.

Of course, it would he easier if Fizantan the Marvellous had

transported them into the Shrine itself instead of this dank, dark,

small prison cell...

“This won't hurt” began Fizantan, as smoke started to seep., from the

ground around the Warriors. “At least it's not supposed to...”

Warhammer Quest Compendium

If you are performing a Special Quest you must also find

out which adventure you were on when circumstances

changed. This is done as normal by drawing an Objective

room card, rolling a dice, and looking up the result in the

Warhammer Quest Adventure Book. For example, you

may be playing the Firechasm adventure number 4 -

Destroy the bridge , when you become mixed up in Special

Quest 5-6 - The Slavers .

THE GAOL

The Gaol is a very small and

dark dungeon cell. A noxious

smell rises from the open drain

and the straw is infested with all

kinds of unpleasant life. It is

used by the Monsters for imprisoning people they want to

forget about...

COMPLETING A SPECIAL QUEST

A t some point during each of the Gaol Special Quests, the

Warriors will probably want to get into or out of the Gaol.

Unfortunately, the thick iron gates of the Gaol are locked

and cannot be passed until they have been opened. Hand-

to-hand attacks may not be made through the gates but

missile attacks will pass through the bars without

hindrance. The Warriors may either try to smash the gates

with brute force and ignorance, or attempt to pick the lock

with stealth and cunning. Whichever method they choose,

a Warrior must be standing adjacent to the gates to try to

open them. Only one Warrior may attempt to open the

gates each turn, and he may not move or attack while he

does so.

U nless otherwise noted in the Special Quest description,

the Warriors play out their adventure exactly as written in

the Adventure Book. The main difference is the bonus

rewards that you get for completing the Special Quest.

This may be extra gold or additional Treasure cards - the

details are noted in each Special Quest description.

HIDDEN PASSAGES

To see if the Warrior is successful roll a D6. On a roll of 1

the unfortunate Warrior has set off a hidden trap which

springs a poisoned spike into his arm or causes a guillotine

blade to drop from the ceiling. As a result of this wound,

the Warrior will remain at -1 Strength for the rest of the

adventure. Otherwise add either the Warrior's Strength (for

brute force) or Initiative (for picking the lock) to your dice

roll. On a total of 7 or more the Warrior has overcome the

locks and the gates have swung open. Any other result

means that the gates stay firmly shut.

S ometimes the dungeon may contain a secret door or

concealed corridor. If the Warriors finish their adventure

(either by completing it, or by being cut off in a dead end)

they may look for a Hidden Passage. Only if the adventure

description says that the Warriors have to escape

immediately, can they not search for a Hidden Passage.

Searching for Hidden Passages is simple. First, decide

which board section(s) you want to search. Searching is the

Warrior's action for that turn, and each Warrior may only

search a particular board section once per adventure. At the

end of the Warriors' phase roll a dice for each Warrior

searching and consult the table below.

HIDDEN PASSAGE TABLE

D6 Roll Result

1 Collapse! The Warrior's searching causes a

part of the dungeon ceiling to fall down. The

dungeon isn't blocked, but each Warrior on the

same board section suffers 1D6 Wounds (with

no deductions) from the falling rocks.

2, 3, 4 Solid Rock! The Warrior cannot find any

secret doors on this board section.

5,6

Found it! Attach a Doorway to the board

section and place the remaining Dungeon deck

behind it to be explored as normal. Each

dungeon will only ever have one Hidden

Passage so there is no point searching again

once one has been found.

Warhammer Quest Compendium

Minotaur Event card is turned over, then the beast lets out

a tremendous bellow and smashes the gates aside! From

that point on, the Minotaur will move towards and attack

the Warriors just like any other Monster. Also, like other

Monsters, the Minotaur is removed from play if he is cut

off from the Warriors by a Cave-in, Portcullis or similar

obstruction.

Wherever he is met, the Minotaur is so crazed that he can

ignore wounds which would normally kill other creatures.

To represent this, roll a dice each time the Minotaur is hit.

On a roll of 1, 2 or 3 resolve the damage as normal, but on

a roll of 4, 5 or 6 the Minotaur simply shrugs off the blow

and takes no damage at all! If the Warriors manage to kill

the crazed Minotaur it is worth 750 gold instead of the

normal 440.

CHOOSING A QUEST

R oll a dice to see which of the Gaol Special Quests the

warriors find themselves involved in. Because there are

three entries instead of the normal six, a roll of 1 or 2

indicates The Mad Beast Special Quest, a roll of 3 or 4 is

The Guards and a 5 or 6 is The Slavers .

3-4 THE GUARDS

T he Warriors were caught in a trap last night, and have I

found themselves the prisoners of the Night Goblins! The

Warriors have been locked in the Gaol until the Night

Goblin Warlord returns from his raid. Standing guard

outside the Gaol are six cruel Night Goblin Archers.

1-2 THE MAD BEAST

T he Goblins in this dungeon have trapped a mad

Minotaur. The Chaos Gods have tainted the beast's mind

and it is now totally insane. When the Warriors first enter

the dungeon the Minotaur is safely under lock and key

inside the Gaol, but the Minotaur is trying very hard to

escape...

Special Rules

T o Start the adventure, set up the board sections as shown

above. The Warriors start the adventure in the Gaol and

you should place six Night Goblin Archers as shown on

the diagram. The Night Goblin Archers will start shooting

in the first Monsters' phase after one of the Warriors tries

to open the gates, cast a spell or make any type of attack!

However, until the Warriors have opened the gates of the

Gaol, a roll of I in the Power Phase does not trigger an

Unexpected Event.

Special Rules

C reate the dungeon as normal, but as well as the

Objective room shuffle the Gaol Dungeon card into the

bottom portion of the Dungeon deck. The mad beast itself

is represented by the single Minotaur Event card (not the

1D3 Minotaurs Event card). You should ignore

instructions on the card to draw another Event card, the

insane Minotaur is always alone when the Warriors

encounter it.

There are two different circumstances in which the

Warriors will the Minotaur. If the Minotaur card is turned

over before the Gaol has been discovered the mad beast

has already escaped the Warriors hear a fearsome roar and

the crash of twisted metal echoes down the corridors.

Suddenly a massive shape hurtles out of the darkness! The

Minotaur is placed on the board as normal and fights like

any other Monster.

Instead of gaining a single Treasure card for killing all the

Night Goblin Archers, the Warriors find the guards' stash

of loot and each one of them gets a Treasure card.

The second way that the Warriors can meet the Minotaur is

if they discover the Gaol before the Event card is turned

over. In this case you should placed the Minotaur inside

the Gaol. The Warriors will be able to attack him with

spells and missile fire (Or hand-to-hand attacks if they're

foolhardy enough to try and open the gates to let him out!).

If the Minotaur is on the board and in the Gaol when the
