The Secret History of Warhammer Quest | Part 1: 1995

#warhammer #boardgames #gamesworkshop #oldhammer

Since 1995 there have been 5 Warhammer Quest games and plenty of spin-offs and adaptations. In this series I trace the development history of the greatest dungeon diving board game of all time covering everything from the designers to the development choices and the products that were released.

In this video I start with the 1995 original - Warhammer Quest - and some of the spin-off tabletop and video games. This is part one of a three part series that will cover all of the Warhammer Quest goodness that Games Workshop has ever made!
