This weekend, the first expansion for Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress is up for pre-order – The Dreaded Ambull. But what is this strange creature, and what will the expansion add to the game? Allow us to explain…





What Is It?

A monstrous beast lurks in a previously undiscovered region of the Blackstone Fortress, a creature that is feared throughout the Imperium and beyond. It is an apex predator, a being utterly incapable of reason or mercy – a dreaded Ambull.

































Wherever they are encountered, Ambulls sow rampant destruction. They tear their way through rock, metal and intervening bodies with equal ease, leaving vast tunnel networks and long trails of corpses in their wake. The twisting confines of the Blackstone Fortress provide the perfect hunting ground for such a creature. Within the perpetual gloom, the Ambull senses all, burrowing its way through the shifting chambers as it closes in on its next victim…

A Long-awaited Return…

The origins of the Ambull can be traced back to the earliest history of Warhammer 40,000, first making an appearance in the classic Rogue Trader game. The new expansion sees the welcome return of this elusive creature in a stunning reimagining of a classic miniature from the early 1980s.


































The Dreaded Ambull expansion pack not only provides you with the awesome new miniature (and two clusters of its Borewyrm offspring) but adds a new quest for your explorers. In it, they are tasked by a rogue Adeptus Mechanicus Genetor to locate and secure several priceless Ambull eggs for his research. It sounds simple enough in principle, but the Ambull is quite unlike anything that your explorers will have faced thus far – and more dangerous. In fact, with its Eviscerating Blows and Hulking Creature special rules, it can happily tear its way through your entire exploration party by itself!


































Although you may encounter the Ambull during the course of your expeditions, the beast will be at its most deadly when cornered in its lair. That’s right, it will get even stronger! However, should your explorers manage to track down the Ambull’s nest, steal the eggs and escape with their lives, they will be handsomely rewarded.
If you’re a fan of Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress, The Dreaded Ambull expansion is up for pre-order this weekend. But if you’re looking to pick up a copy of the Blackstone Fortress game in advance, it’s available to order right now!
