Games Workshop Expansion Blackstone Fortress: Escalation (English)

Product Information

None know how the Despoiler came by the fell lore required to bring the Blackstone Fortresses' systems to life, but as the Gothic War ground on, it became clear that Abaddon's primary objective was to seize as many of these titanic weapons platforms from the Imperium as he could. For as long as the Imperium was aware of their existence, the Blackstone Fortresses lay in a dormant state, with all but passive power systems shut down despite the best efforts to revive them. Along with new rules, new discovery cards and new exploration cards, this box also contains three Citadel miniatures.

His older brother Dorg broke him out of his cell and they made their way to the Blackstone Fortress where they have both been in high demand as bodyguards. Indeed they are obliquely mentioned in Aeldari Mythology as the "Talismans of Vaul," objects of great fear and revulsion. Others maintain it is stone mined from within cosmic singularities, and that it originates from another dimension all together.Instead of summoning the maglev transport as you would in other quests, your explorers must make their way to one of the other entrances.

With stories by Darius Hinks, Josh Reynolds, Nick Kyme, and Guy Haley, it’s the perfect way to explore the Blackstone Fortress from the comfort of your own home. The fortress is fraught with a wide array of dangers, from savage Ur-Ghuls to Spindle Drones to the twisted creations of Chaos which seek to claim the fortress for their own. Destroy the three Nodes, take on the Shrine, save Blackstone Fortress and then head back to your ship for a glass of amasec. On top of all of that, there are new hostiles for your explorers to defeat in the form of Plague Marines and Poxwalkers. Rules for using the Ambull and Borewyrm infestations in games of Warhammer 40,000 are also included.The Blackstone Fortress gifted by Abaddon the Despoiler to earn the support of the Red Corsairs of Huron Blackheart after the Gothic War was later used to imprison the resurrected Primarch Roboute Guilliman and his followers when they were captured by the forces of Kairos Fateweaver during the Terran Crusade. If these incredible miniatures look familiar to you, it may be because they were first seen in the tie-in game Warhammer 40,000: Combat Arena.

However, unlike the other six known Blackstone Fortresses, this variant reshapes its own interior regularly and thus makes consistent mapping of the labyrinth near-impossible. Amongst the roving squads of heretical warriors, the prowling packs of snarling predators and the eldritch defence systems of the fortress itself, a new threat has been sighted. Despite exhaustive attempts at analysis, none could determine the nature of the super-hardened, onyx-like metals from which they were constructed. They also have a special rule that makes any Spindle Drones even more dangerous for the duration of the combat.The explorers must stop them before Mallex threatens the stability and balance of the entire region – and perhaps even the Imperium itself. Can your explorers overcome the three Nodes of Corruption, conquer the Thrice-cursed Shrine and end the outbreak?

This power can be linked with that of the other fortresses to create an even more powerful beam, as became clear when Abaddon the Despoiler used two of the fortresses to destroy the planet Fularis II, and three to cause the Tarantis star to go supernova during the Gothic War.

Other Imperial scholars disagree, estimating them to be far older, dating back to the early years of sentient life in the galaxy many millions of Terran years ago.
