WARHAMMER QUEST, RULEBOOK

THE BARBARIAN

The land of Norsca lies to the north of the Empire, across the Sea of Claws.

It is a bleak realm: a land of frozen fjords and towering snow-capped

mountains: of ice, blizzards and freezing winds. This inhospitable expanse

of rock and ice is inhabited by the Norse, some of the hardiest and most

fearsome men in the Known World.

The Horse are violent barbarians who are feared throughout the civilised

world. The harsh conditions of their homeland have made them

exceptionally tough and fierce, and they enjoy their drink almost as much

as a good fight! To prove their valour the Horse warriors hunt the wolves

and bears that prowl the icy wastes, and wear their pelts as protection

against the cold.

Horse Barbarians are big, muscular, hardy fighters. They make great

Warriors and sea-faring adventurers, and their exploits are famous the

world over. These barbarous crews, in their dragon-headed longships, have

plundered every shore from Araby to the Southlands.

Their love of battle makes the Horsemen excellent companions when

venturing into danger. They are stalwart allies, unwilling to flee in even the

most dangerous of situations. Their skill and courage in combat are

renowned, and their love of plunder often leads them into places not

frequented by saner men.

The Barbarian finds himself in the Worlds Edge Mountains, lured partly by

the stories of immense treasure hoards, and partly by the opportunity to kill

hundreds of Orcs, Goblins and other hideous creatures that he knows will

be found in the dungeons deep below the earth.

THE DWARF

The Dwarfs are an ancient race, and have lived in the Old World for

thousands of years. Their cities have always been built beneath the

ground. Tunnelled under the rocks and through the mountainsides they

formed a vast empire under the earth. Through the centuries the

Dwarfs' power grew, and as their tunnels delved ever deeper, the

mountains yielded up their most valuable treasures - gold, silver,

jewels and precious stones to swell the coffers of the Dwarf kings.

Hundreds of years ago, disaster struck when vast armies of Orcs and

Goblins assaulted the Dwarf homeland. City after city fell in desperate

battle, and today the Dwarfs retain only a tiny fraction of their great

kingdom and the power they held in ages past.

The Dwarfs are a long-lived people and immensely proud. They are

very honourable, and never forget a debt they owe to another. They do

tend to be bad-tempered, brusque, and intolerant of fools, but these bad

points are more than offset by their steadfastness, reliability and

loyalty to their companions. Though short, they are immensely strong

and resilient, and wield their massive axes with great power and skill.

Dwarfs have long memories, and never forget any wrong they or their

family have suffered. They cherish the glorious memories of their past

and yearn for the days when their greatest cities will ring again to the

sound of Dwarf voices, and the Orcs and Goblins have been driven

back to their squalid homes in the Darklands.

All Dwarfs love treasure, especially gold. The Dwarf has joined the

rest of the Warriors in the journey back to the lands of his ancestors in

search of glory, lost treasures and vengeance. Every Orc killed, and

every Goblin sent fleeing into the darkness, is a step towards the

deliverance of his ancient birthright.

WARHAMMER QUEST, RULEBOOK

-INTRODUCTION-

Warhammer Quest is the game of adventure in the Warhammer World. You take the part of a heroic Warrior as you set out on the road to

immeasurable power and riches. Your adventures will take you deep into the dark dungeons of the Worlds Edge Mountains, down tunnels filled with

terror and danger, hopefully to find lost treasure, hoards of gold and lasting fame.

I t is a time of battle and magic, where Wizards and Warriors must fight

for survival against implacable foes. It is also an age of adventure, where

fame and fabulous wealth lie waiting for those brave enough to seek

them.

In Warhammer Quest each player takes the role of a warrior, one of four

brave adventurers willing to test their courage in the search for wealth

and glory. Each hero comes from a different people. The Barbarian has

travelled far from the savage north, a land of bitter cold and ferocious

warriors. The Wizard hails from the cities of the Empire, the largest and

most important of the realms of men. The Dwarf is drawn by the gold-

lust for which his race is famous. Dwarfs are grim and rather abrupt, but

they are good fighters and loyal friends who remember debts of gratitude

as readily as debts of coin. The Elf comes from the green woods of Loren

where his kin spend their days hunting and making merry, protected from

evil by the strange magic of their land. Elves are incredibly quick and

agile, and they are also the best archers in the world.

the others, all the players must co-operate if they are to win. Also, there is

no single board. Instead, the different rooms and corridor sections are

clipped together to make a dungeon that is different every time you play.

The game rules may seem a little complex at first - but don't worry a lot

of the rules are designed to extend the game and are not vital to begin

with. The actual game rules you need to play are in this book or printed

on the various cards. The hugely thick Role-play Book is all extra and

alternative material that introduces you to a whole new hobby of

role-playing Warhammer Quest.

The four Warriors are ready to begin their adventures. Like all treasure

hunters they are inspired by tales of fabulous riches beneath the Worlds

Edge Mountains: dragon hoards, age-old temples crammed with

treasures, lost silver mines, and the gold of forgotten tombs.

The bleak mountains are riddled with passageways, stairs, caverns and

tunnels leading deep beneath the earth. All these underground

passageways are known as dungeons. Many were built by the Dwarfs

long ago, before the Goblins attacked and destroyed the oldest and most

famous Dwarf holds. The Dwarfs bitterly record the tale of their loss in a

weighty tome called the Great Book of Grudges, said to be written in the

blood of Dwarf kings.

Warhammer Quest is a game but it is also a hobby. The contents of this

box provide you with enough to play, including four different warriors

and a large selection of monsters. Whilst this will undoubtedly keep you

busy for a good while, you will be happy to know that there is an exciting

range of extra models, special adventures, and accessories. You can

obtain new types of Warrior models together with the rules needed to

play them. There are special adventure packs with new dungeon rooms,

new monsters and new cards. You can also purchase card packs of

treasure separately. In addition, there is the whole Citadel Miniatures

range of Warhammer models and Citadel Colour paints and hobby tools!

Not all the dungeons are old Dwarf works. Some are the squalid delvings

of Goblins, malicious creatures whose narrow and often unstable tunnels

extend throughout the mountains. Deeper still can be found the burrows

of the Skaven, vile mutant ratmen whose scratchings undermine the entire

world from coast to coast.

If you would like to know more about Games Workshop's range of games

and models why not drop into your local Games Workshop store or

stockist. Our shop staff will be pleased to demonstrate the various games,

explain how the different rules work, and chat about any aspect of

modelling and gaming. If you would like more information please send a

stamped self-addressed envelope to:

In the Warhammer Quest game the players enter a dark and forbidding

dungeon. Together they must face the horrific dangers that wait for them.

They will be attacked by monsters such as Orcs, Goblins, Skaven and

Minotaurs. Other perils lurk in the darkness: scurrying venomous things

like spiders, deadly pit traps, and decayed tunnels that cave in at the

slightest touch. If they complete their quest the players will be rewarded

with gold, treasure and artefacts of magical power. The more gold and

treasure you can discover the better.., and the player whose warrior

amasses the greatest fortune has done best of all!

-THE WARHAMMER QUEST BOX-

The Warhammer Quest box contains ail you need to play the game - lots of Citadel miniatures, full-colour card counters, board sections, card decks,

dice and books.

CITADEL MINIATURES

W arhammer Quest contains the following Citadel miniatures:

this, remove the model's tag with a pair of snips and glue its feet directly

to the slottabase.

If you are an inexperienced modeller please remember that craft knives

and other modelling tools must be handled with care. Before making any

cut always rest the model directly on a hard surface, and then cut

downward onto the table and away from yourself.

4 Warrior models: Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf and Wizard

6 Orc Warrior models

6 Orc Archer models

6 Goblin Spearmen models

6 Night Goblin Archer models

12 Skaven models

3 Minotaur models

12 Giant Spider models

12 Giant Bat models

12 Giant Rat models

12 Snotling models

10 Dungeon Doorways

Orcs

The Orcs are designed to fit into the larger, 25mm square slottabases.

They can be attached to their slottabases in the same way as Warriors,

Goblins and Skaven.

Minotaurs

Minotaur models have an integral base, and therefore do not need to be

mounted onto slottabases.

Dungeon Doorways

The ten dungeon doorways are used to clip together the board sections

and create the dungeon.

All of the Warhammer Quest miniatures are supplied on plastic sprues.

Before assembling them carefully remove each model from its sprue

using either a craft knife, snips, or an old pair of nail clippers. Do not

twist or pull the pieces to detach them, as they might break. Any scars or

marks left on the models may be gently cleaned off with a craft knife or

small file.

BOARD SECTIONS

Unlike conventional board games, where the board is the

same every time, the Warhammer Quest board is made up

of separate pieces that can be arranged in hundreds of different ways. In

other words, every dungeon that the Warriors explore will be new and

exciting.

Warriors, Goblins and Skaven

These models are designed to fit into the open diagonal slots in the 20mm

square slottabases. We recommend that they are glued into the slottabases

using a suitable adhesive such as polystyrene cement or superglue.

There are three different types of board sections: dungeon rooms,

objective rooms and corridors.

If you wish, a model may be positioned on its slottabase without using

the slots, facing forwards for example. To do

The differences between the three types of board sections, and how each

is used, are explained in more

detail in the rules.

WARHAMMER QUEST, RULEBOOK

-WARHAMMER QUEST MONSTERS-

Snotlings are the tiniest of the

green-skinned races. They have

only a rudimentary intelligence,

but can wield simple weapons

such as wooden clubs. Snotlings

are cowardly creatures, and

attack in large packs to try and

bring down their foes by sheer

force of numbers.

Orc Warrior

Orc Archer

Skaven are foul mutant ratmen,

who can walk on their hind legs

in the manner of men. They are

highly intelligent, but utterly

evil. Skaven continually plot to

bring about the destruction of

human civilisation. They live

underground, and their foul

tunnels traverse the length and

breadth of the Old World.

Orcs are brutal, green-skinned creatures that live in the wastelands and

mountains of the Warhammer World. They are slightly taller than men, as

well as being broad and very well-muscled. Their physical prowess is not

matched by their intellect however, as Orcs are not very intelligent,

though they do have a certain low cunning. They are warlike and

aggressive creatures, and their size and strength make them excellent

fighters.

Skaven Warrior

Giant rats, swollen with disease, prowl

the empty tunnels and abandoned

passageways in large packs.

Maddened by hunger, they throw

themselves at their prey in a frenzy of

snapping teeth and slashing claws.

Goblins are smaller

relatives of the Orcs, and

the two races often co-

operate with each other.

Though not as strong as

Orcs, Goblins are more

intelligent, and less

inclined to squabble

among themselves Goblins

dislike the sunlight, and

tend to live in squalid

tunnels and caves

burrowed under the hills

and mountains..

Flocks of giant bats huddle on the roofs of musty caves, waiting for a

chance to swoop down onto their prey. The sound of their high-pitched

chittering and flap of their heavy leathery wings strike terror into their

victims.

Goblin Spearman

Night Goblins live in the caves

and tunnels beneath the Worlds

Edge Mountains. They have

grown so accustomed to living

in the dark that when they

venture above ground they have

to shield themselves from the

sunlight by wearing hooded

cloaks.

Giant Bat

Minotaurs are

huge, bestial

creatures that

live in the

wildest places

of the

Warhammer

World. They are

immensely

strong, and can inflict terrible wounds with their massive axes. Minotaurs

are not very bright, but they are incredibly savage and attack ferociously

in combat. A single Minotaur is a dangerous opponent, but they

sometimes hunt in groups of two or three!

Night Goblin Archer

Giant spiders are a common danger in the lost

places under the ground. They leap out of the

shadows onto their prey, biting them with their

venomous fangs then immobilising them with

their sticky webs.

WARHAMMER QUEST, RULEBOOK

SPELL CARDS

The Wizard character in the Warhammer Quest game has the ability to

cast magic spells. These are represented by cards which are held by the

Wizard player. Full details of Spell cards and the Wizard character are

given in the Spellcasting section.

DICE

Warhammer Quest comes with a number of six-sided dice in two

different sizes. The larger dice are used extensively in the game to resolve

combat, and wherever a dice roll is required. The smaller coloured dice

are not rolled but are placed next to models or on record sheets to keep

track of various game details. For example, a small dice is placed by a

Monster to show how many Wounds it has left during combat. As the two

kinds of dice are a different size and colour there is no danger of

confusing them while you play.

River Troll

CARD DECKS

W arhammer Quest comes with three different packs of cards: Dungeon

cards, Event cards and Treasure cards. (Note however, that for

manufacturing reasons the cards are supplied in two packs in the box - the

Dungeon pack is split across the two packs and must be separated out

before you play.)

For convenience, especially on cards and tables where space is limited,

we refer to six-sided dice as D6.

If the text tells you to roll 2D6 it is instructing you to roll two dice and

add the scores together, to get a number from 2 to 12. In the same way,

3D6 is three dice added together, 4D6 is four dice added together, and so

on.

We'll explain how to use these cards later.

Similarly, if the text tells you to roll 2D6+3 roll two dice, add the scores

together, and then add 3 to the result. This gives you a number from 5 to

15. Other dice and modifier combinations are treated the same way.

If the text tells you to roll 1D3 it simply means that you should use a D6

to randomise a number from 1 to 3. If you roll a 1 or a 2 take the result as

a 1, a 3 or a 4 becomes a 2, and a 5 or a 6 becomes a 3. Effectively, you

are rolling 1D6. halving the result and rounding the number up.

ADVENTURE RECORD SHEETS

In the Warhammer

Quest box you will find

a pad of 50

Adventure Record

sheets. You can use

these while you play to

record details of your

character, such as how

much gold he has

collected.
