Warhammer Quest – Catacombs of Terror

· INTRODUCTION ·

Catacombs of Terror is a supplement for Warhammer Quest, the game of dungeon adventures in the Warhammer World. This Adventure

pack includes seven brand new metal Citadel miniatures. four new board sections. 36 playing cards, several counters and a comprehensive

48 page rulebook. The pack is designed to work with all the rules in Warhammer Quest, so you can now take the Elf, Dwarf, Barbarian and

Wizard deep into a Necromancer's lair in search of treasure and glory. Apart from any special rules in this book, all the normal set-up and

game rules for Warhammer Quest also apply to Catacombs of Terror.

In Catacombs of Terror, the Warriors will be plunged into the dark halls of the

Undead in their quest to destroy the Dread King. His servants and followers

will thwart the Warriors at every turn, as they descend further into the bleak

catacombs of his malignant domain. For the powers of this Dread King of the

underworld are vast, and soon his Undead legions will march forth to lay

waste to the world. Only the Warriors stand in his way, four brave heroes

determined to stop at nothing to bring his foul plans to an end. Until then,

dark forces are at work, the dead stir in their graves, and terrifying apparitions

stalk the graveyards at night.

The omens tell of a coming time of madness, terror and death, followed by the

never ending reign of undeath. Rumours abound of Necromancers at work,

skeletal Tomb Guardians wielding their rusted blades, and ghoulish creatures

plucking the innocents from their beds. Worst of all, word has reached

civilisation that the dread Grimoire Necris, a malevolent and evil tome, has

once more been discovered in the ancient depths of the Catacombs of Terror.

The risks will be great, the challenges perhaps unassailable, yet still the

Warriors must try. For without them, a time of darkness will surely blight the

world.

BOARD SECTIONS

There are four new board sections in this

Adventure pack that can be added to your games

of Warhammer Quest. First, there is the Chasm

of Despair, a slender and perilous bridge which

the Warriors must cross if they wish to succeed

in their quest. Secondly, there is the Hall of

Death, a bleak and fearful place stacked with the

bones of hapless Warriors. The Flames of Khazla

is another new corridor. This corner section

passes through an ancient shrine, where the

Warriors will be able to heal their wounds.

The Flames of Khazla

(Corridor/Corner)

Finally, the Dread King's Throne Room is the

new objective room, a place where the chilling

hand of terror will reach out and grasp at the

heart of even the bravest Warrior. This is the

resting place of the Dread King himself, and his

baleful presence has been roused from his

slumber of centuries.

· SECTION 1 ·

All the components from Catacombs of Terror slot straight into the

Warhammer Quest rules system. Just as in Warhammer Quest, you must

generate your Warriors and decide what adventure they are embarking upon.

The dungeon is generated by a pack of cards, and as the Warriors overcome

the hazardous events along the way, they gain much treasure and gold.

Eventually, they will arrive at their ultimate destination, the objective room.

Here they must overcome the final challenge before leaving the Monsters' lair

for the outside world once more, hopefully laden down with priceless gems

and treasure.

cards for one adventure, but if you run out you can use the Treasure cards

from Warhammer Quest.

If you wish, you could expand the Undead Treasure pack by shuffling in the

Treasure cards from Warhammer Quest and/or any other Treasure cards you

have.

Alternatively, you could use the following special rule. Whenever the

Warriors are due to take a Treasure card, they must roll a dice. If they score a

1, 2 or 3, they take one of the Warhammer Quest Treasure cards. If they score

a 4, 5 or 6 they take one of the special Catacombs of Terror Treasure cards

instead.

· SETTING UP ·

The procedure for setting up a game of Warhammer Quest is almost the same

when you are using the Catacombs of Terror Adventure pack. In addition to

the contents of Catacombs of Terror, you will need the following components

from the original Warhammer Quest game: The dungeon room and corridor

board sections The Dungeon cards Note that you won't need the objective

room board sections or the Objective Room cards because you'll be playing

with the new Dread King's Throne Room objective room.

THE OBJECTIVE ROOM

You will find six new adventures for the Dread King's Throne Room later in

this rulebook. Work out which adventure you will be playing as usual, by

rolling a dice.

SPECIAL MINIATURES

DUNGEON CARDS

You will need to sort out the Dungeon deck slightly differently from normal,

to make sure you come across the new board sections.

You will find seven exciting new Undead miniatures in this box. These

models have been specially designed for Catacombs of Terror, and are not

available separately.

Put the four new Dungeon cards (the Dread King's Throne Room, the Flames

of Khazla, the Hall of Death and the Chasm of Despair) to one side for the

moment. Shuffle all the other Dungeon cards, deal out nine, and put the rest

back in the box. Now take the Hall of Death, the Flames of Khazla and the

Chasm of Despair and shuffle them in with these nine cards to give you a

deck of twelve Dungeon cards.

Brief rules for these new Monsters can be found on their Event cards, and a

more detailed explanation of any special rules which relate to them is given

over the next few pages. These models will need to be clipped onto their

slotta-bases ready for painting. The photographs on the covers of this book

show the superb results that can be achieved with Citadel paints, a steady

hand and a keen eye!

Now proceed as normal: deal out six Dungeon cards, and shuffle the

Objective Room card (The Dread King's Throne Room) in with them. Place

these seven cards face down on the table, and put the other six cards on top of

them to form the Dungeon pack for your adventure.

DUNGEON BASH!

If you don't want to play

a specifically Undead

adventure, or just fancy a

bit of a change, you can

use the cards in this set, and any others you might have, for a massive

dungeon bash adventure.

New Dungeon Cards

The three new Dungeon cards - the Hall of Death, the Chasm of Despair and

the Flames of Khazla - all have special rules. These are summarised on the

cards, and also explained in this rulebook.

EVENT CARDS

There are enough Event cards in Catacombs of Terror to create a whole new

Undead Event deck if you wish. Just shuffle the Undead Event cards and use

these instead of the Event cards from Warhammer Quest.

Shuffle all your Objective Room cards together and pick one at

random to find out which adventure you will be playing. Then

shuffle all your Dungeon cards together, all your Event cards

together, all your Treasure cards together and have a great time!

If you wish, you can shuffle the Event cards from this pack in with the Event

cards from Warhammer Quest to give you one huge mixed Event deck!

With all the exciting Adventure packs and Treasure card packs

Games Workshop produce, you'll have some amazing (if rather

unpredictable) games!

If you don't have enough miniatures to represent all the Undead creatures in

this pack, you can replace some of the Event cards you can't use with some

from Warhammer Quest. The giant bats are particularly appropriate!

TREASURE CARDS

Catacombs of Terror includes a selection of new Treasure cards, specially

designed for playing Undead adventures. You should find there are enough

Warhammer Quest – Catacombs of Terror

· THE UNDEAD ·

Throughout the Old World and beyond there are many outposts and hiding

places of the Undead. Working in secret, evil Necromancers make their lairs

in ruined cities and abandoned fortresses, away from the prying eyes of those

who might seek to stop their foul practices. Through fell, dark ceremonies,

these practitioners of death raise armies from the ancient dead of battles long

since fought. When the time is ripe, the Necromancer leads his shambling

horde back to civilisation to raid the lands of the Empire, Bretonnia and the

other countries of the Old World.

The motives that drive such evil masters to perform these acts of destruction

against their fellow men are varied and often unreasonable. Many

Necromancers were once great wizards of the Colleges of Magic, driven out

by their associates for dabbling with dark arts and reading forbidden texts of

resurrection and summoning. Some Necromancers long for revenge against

those who despised them. They see only through hate-filled eyes the

achievements of their comrades of distant years.

Such is this anger and hatred that many Necromancers continue to exist in this

world long after their appointed time of death, living on as immortal Liches.

Perhaps living is the wrong word for such creatures, as they no longer require

sustenance nor draw breath. They continue to exist in our world, brooding

across the millennia, gathering their strength and malice until they are ready

to wreak their revenge.

When a Liche has reached the pinnacle of his power he sends forth his

minions to prepare the way for his Undead horde. Wraith messengers on old

and terrible winged beasts spread fear and dread throughout the land. Strange

omens and portents cloud the oracles and fortune tellings of those who

possess such powers. The moon of M6rrslieb blazes full throughout the

months, abandoning its natural cycle of waxing and waning. The men of the

Empire and the Old World jump fearfully at shadows as starless nights echo

with the sound of rusting metal on bone and the rustle of decayed muscle on

rotted leather.

NAGASHIZZAR

Thousands of years ago there was a powerful and extensive empire in the

lands now known as the Land of the Dead. The inhabitants of that realm

became obsessed with death, and built huge pyramids and tombs for their

dead kings and nobles. Out of their ranks rose the legendary Necromancer

Nagash, who discovered secret elixirs and spells that prolonged life, allowing

him ever to evade the clutches of death.

The story of Nagash's rise to power and his discovery of the arts of

necromancy is a long one. He battled long and hard against the Tomb Kings

of the Land of the Dead, and during this time he built the fortress realm of

Nagashizzar in the Worlds Edge Mountains.

When night is at its darkest the legions of the damned issue forth to slay the

enemies of their master. The victims of the Undead army are not allowed to

keep their new found rest. The Liche or Necromancer raises the dead from

where they fall, so that with each victor/ the ranks of the Undead are swollen

by the slain.

The fortress-city of Nagashizzar is built over a huge warpstone mine, which

provided Nagash with much of the power and raw material he needed to raise

his vast armies. Nagash used the warpstone to forge many evil items, some of

which have been lost, while others have fallen into the hands of evil creatures

such as Chaos followers and Skaven.

Nagash is dormant now, but his armies of Undead followers patrol the area

around the Sour Sea and Nagashizzar, kept alive by the power of their

master's subconscious will. No one dares venture within Nagashizzar itself,

but there are many outposts connected by underground tunnels and roadways,

and it is into these towers and castles that most Warriors descend into when

they seek the ancient treasures of the dead.
