Cursed City Expanded – Painting Journey (2021-25)

Warhammer Quest Cursed City has official and unofficial expansions, and offers itself up to expanding content from the official model range via White Dwarf articles. There are many undead packs from which to extract new material, so here is my ongoing expansion journey and thoughts since i completed the core set painting.

Nemesis Expansion – this expansion comes with rules for a number of new units. The Vargheists are amazing models and painting these were great fun, and they came out so well.

The Wight King and Grave Guardians are covered in my set by The Sons of Velmorn warband from Gnarlwwod, an excellent group of models that i wanted to utilise with the Nemesis expansion rules, and much better sculpts than the official grave guardian box models.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Sepulchral Guards from Warhammer Underworlds have been added as extra Grave Guardians and also there are custom rules available for Deathrattle Skeletons encounters too > Variants

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Necromancer is a perfect addition for the Cursed City theme.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The final group to add from Nemesis is the excellent looking Dire Wolves

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nightwars Expansion – this box was more focused on adding new enemy characters, but did include the rules for giant Fell Bats. The three vampire leaders may be added in eventually.

White Dwarf added Flesh Eater Courts scenarios, and to play these i am using my Vargheists as Crypt Slayers or other similar winged creatures, and added these Crypt Horrors

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New addition in December 2025. the Marrowscroll Herald, a very neat miniature. Coming soon is the Royal Decapitator, and i would like to add Cryptguard ghouls.

A unique character card added a battle mage called Morrvahl Olbrecht. I re-painted and re-based a model from the original Warhammer Quest (1995) line, which i will use as my mage for now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Custom Variant Additions – these are models that fit the theme well and variants have been written by fans > Variants

The excellent warband set of the Briar Queen and Nighthaunts which have custom rules available and specific scenarios too, plus i added the Knight of Shrouds as it is such a great model. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hexbane Hunters are a perfect thematic hero group to add to Cursed City game, starting with Haskel, one of my favourite models and his two hounds. Custom rules here > Haskel Hexbane
