After hacking through thickets overgrown with Nurgle’s rot, and following an adventurer’s guide covering the setting and its history, the characters and how they play, the rules of the game, and how encounters and campaigns work, we’ve finally arrived at the Jade Abbey and are ready to set out on our journey. Warhammer Quest: Darkwater is available to pre-order next week, and Nurgle’s war on Ghyran is coming to Warhammer Age of Sigmar, too, in a new narrative supplement. You can also look forward to a new Black Library novel, and a tease of what’s to come on Warhammer TV and Warhammer Community next week.

Warhammer Quest: Darkwater
The Jade Abbey, home of the life-giving Everspring, is under threat from Gelgus Pust and his followers. A ragtag band of heroes and sellswords are committed to preventing this tragedy from occurring in Warhammer Quest: Darkwater. This brand new Warhammer Quest game can be played solo or with up to three friends, and is designed to support one-off skirmishes or longer campaigns that are eminently replayable.
This box includes 49 highly detailed, push fit miniatures – the band of seven heroes (and the spirit Wisper), plus villains Gelgus Pust, Belga the Cystwitch, Mulgoth the Cleaver, and Shaman Foulhoof. There is also a horde of enemies that comprises two Cankerborn, three Blight Templars, eight Pestigors, 14 Pox-Wretches, six Mire Kelpies, and four tokens.
A lay-flat map book provides the maps for your adventure, with missions decided by encounter cards and boss encounter cards split across three different acts, and supplemented by event cards. The box also contains the other paraphernalia you need to play the game, including hero and enemy cards, all the reward cards you can earn, two boards of tokens, dice, and boxes for collecting your cards and tokens if you want to pause your campaign between sessions.
A quick start guide sheet gets you to the table in minutes so you can easily show the game to friends and family, and a 36-page rulebook teaches you how to play and introduces both skirmish and campaign modes. Warhammer Quest: Darkwater is a range item, and if it sells out you can expect it to return to shelves.
Path to Glory: Blighted Wilds
The Plague God Nurgle has long sought to steal Ghyran from Alarielle the Everqueen, bringing the verdant Realm of Life into his vile and bounteous garden. In Path to Glory: Blighted Wilds you can join this seemingly never-ending battle for Ghyran to either help rescue Thyria from the clutches of the Grandfather, or bring it to ruin for your own nefarious reasons.
This 90-page narrative expansion for Warhammer Age of Sigmar contains a new battlepack, Blighted Wilds, with rules for playing a campaign with unique abilities, rewards, battle scars, battleplans, two Paths for heroes, two Paths for units, universal enhancements, plus spell and prayer lores.
There are also rules for building your own Landmark of Ghyran, a powerful faction terrain piece with abilities of your choosing, and creating your own Regiment of Ghyran, a personalised, custom Regiment of Renown that you can give a variety of upgrades and idiosyncrasies. Finally, there are 12 narrative battleplans in the book, and a battleplan map so you can link them together as you play through a campaign to befoul or purify Thyria.
Demolisher
Following on from Steel Tread, Andy Clark’s Demolisher continues the story of Hadeya Etsul on the war-torn and Warp-cursed world of Croatoas. The Leman Russ Demolisher Steel Tread and its crew are flung back into battle as they are assigned to a convoy tasked with escorting a lord commissar through contested territory. A new crew member disturbing the hard-fought harmony Etsul commands over and a nemesis stalking them are set to prove a challenge – what will Etsul be willing to risk in the name of duty?
Demolisher is available to pre-order next Saturday in a gorgeous special edition, which features the short story ‘Worry What Is’ and an introduction by the author, screen-printed art on a cloth cover that matches the cover design of the special edition of Steel Tread, a brown ribbon page marker, and foil page edges. This edition is only available while stocks last.
You’ll also be able to read the continuing adventures of the Steel Tread’s crew by pre-ordering the novel in either hardback format next Saturday, or digital eBook or audiobook formats on Friday.
The Rise of Nagash
Supreme Lord of Undeath and the first Necromancer, Nagash wrested the secrets of dark magic from the elves, broke the armies of the priest-kings of Nehekhara, raised the largest army of the dead in history, and became an immortal god. Not bad going. You can read all about his legend in The Rise of Nagash, an omnibus collecting three novels and a short story by Mike Lee together in one edition. You can pre-order the paperback next Saturday, and the eBook on Friday.
We’re reaching the end of another great season of shows on Warhammer TV, and to celebrate we’ve got three end of season specials. The main event is a new episode of Open Play, which follows Alex, Josh, and Si’s exploits as they took part in the Warhammer 40,000: Shifting Fronts event at Warhammer World, which used the Asymmetric War mission cards from the latest Chapter Approved deck.
The Black Library Book Club also returns, with Dan Abnett’s Horus Rising, the first novel of the Horus Heresy series, as the subject of attention. The gang talk about the shape of the Great Crusade, and some of their favourite scenes and characters. Finally, Brainboyz returns to pit two teams against each other in six rounds of Warhammer questions, from simple true-or-false statements to in-depth questions about the guest’s favourite factions.
Next week on Warhammer Community we’ve got continuing coverage of Warhammer Quest: Darkwater, information on this year’s Grotmas Calendar, and a reveal for the Middle-earth™ Strategy Battle Game.
