Lair of the Orc Lord

The Lair of the Orc Lord Adventure Pack includes a 48 page rule book which contains a roleplay adventure, new rules and 'Orcy' encounter, treasure and event tables. The pack also includes new floorplans (1 Objective Room, 1 Dungeon Room, 1 Corridor with corresponding dungeon cards), new counters (1 Fallen Block counter, 3 Netted counters, 2 Pit of Despair counters) and 8 new miniatures (Orc Lord, Orc Shaman, 3 Orc Big'Uns (two different figure types), Goblin Jester, Snotling, Squig Hound).

The Catacombs of Terror Adventure Pack includes a 48 page rule book which contains a roleplay adventure, new rules and Undead encounter and event tables. The pack also includes new floorplans (1 Objective Room, 1 Dungeon Room, 1 Corridor and 1 Flames of Khazla (See White Dwarf expansions - below)), new counters, 8 miniatures (seated Liche King, Throne, Hunchback, Necromancer, 3 Tomb Guardians (two different figure types), Grimoire). Like the Orc Lord adventure pack, the rule book contains the new rules for multi-level rooms. The rule book also includes rules for Zombie Dragons and Carrion.

Future Adventure Packs

There are no plans by Games Workshop to release anymore Adventure Packs in the near future.

Card Expansions

There are two types of card expansions available for Warhammer Quest, being Treasure Card Packs and Blank Event Card Packs.

Treasure Card Expansions

GW has released three packs of treasure cards, each containing a total of 54 cards. Note that these are new treasure cards not necessarily new treasure items. In the three packs released so far, all have contained mostly new items with a few of the cards representing items listed in the RPB, but not included in the original treasure card set.

Blank Event Cards

GW have also released a set of blank event cards, which can be used in conjunction with the RPB to create custom event decks suited to themed dungeons, higher battle level events, or a particular miniature collection.

White Dwarf Expansions/Articles

White Dwarf has published a fair number of articles about Warhammer Quest, including several new adventures and many board sections and cards. However, there are no plans to publish any more articles about Warhammer Quest in the near future.

A list of all the articles for Warhammer Quest that have appeared in White Dwarf is avaliable from the Library of Muggee in the Warhammer Quest section.

Special Quests

The Special Quest is a new kind of quest for WQ. Two Special Quests have been released to date, published in White Dwarf magazine. Special Quests include a new dungeon board section and a new Dungeon Card.

In play, the Special Quest card(s) are shuffled in with the Objective Room cards. If the Special Quest card is drawn, a roll on that particular Special Quest table determines the exact nature of the Special Quest in a similar manner as determining the objective for an Objective Room. An additional Objective Room card may be drawn to determine what quest the Warriors were on before they were on before circumstances changed.

Dark Secrets

Dark Secret cards are dealt out to a random warrior and explain an ulterior motive for their adventuring. They help develop the warrior's background and character, and are a lot of fun if used properly. Dark Secret cards include such things as a treasure map, a phobia, having to rescue a family member, and so on.

Citadel Journal Articles

The Citadel Journal has featured many articles about Warhammer Quest and will be continuing to do so in the future. Articles include three new warrior types, being the Ogre, the Halfling Thief, and the Ex-Blood Bowl Player. There has also been some new adventures and rules for town adventures.

An upto date list of all the articles for Warhammer Quest that have appeared in the Citadel Journal is avaliable from the Library of Muggee in the Warhammer Quest section.
