I hope its a new faction. Maybe something from the past that opposed the necrons?

From the Warhammer Community post about this: "The Blackstone Fortress is more than just a backdrop to your adventures in Warhammer Quest, but a participant in them – and it will not hesitate to try and stop you. Here’s a look at one of its mechanical minions, a Spindle Drone". 

So unlikely to be a new faction in the sense of a new army, but could be a new faction in the same way that Gellerpox is. But who knows? Your guess is as good as mine!

I like Silver Tower and recently they turned me into 40K ( Necromunda that is, with Kill Team and Speed Freeks soon to follow ) so yes, this is a no-brainer over here. Seems I'm rapidly turning into a fanboy of theirs

Blackstone Fortress appeared as a model in Battlefleet Gothic.

Yeah, a bit disapointed about the fluff for the Spindle Drone, makes the Black Fortress sound like the ring in Halo and the floaty thing that I forget the name of.

Anyway, another day and another mini:

Negavolt Cultists express their heretical devotion by despoiling machinery and corrupting the function of sacred technologies through daemonic invocations and abstruse rituals. Such cults can often be found on planets controlled by the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Ew. And not in a good kind of nurgle way.

I like him. But his weapons are meh.. He will be great base! This head is wonderful. His body armor is great too..

Agreed. He’s got the rectifier probes in hand that little gray aliens like.

Kind of an awful mini.

I love the cultist, though as I acknowledged above JB's aesthetic isn't everyone's taste so ymmv. I heard somewhere that the Ironsleet blog has had some influence on the design studio, and this mini certainly could be an example of the influence - it's the most Blanche thing GW have released in a while.

Like the look of the cartoon cultists in the video. Hoping they're not Chaos - be nice just to have some unaligned human renegades for a change.

Agreed, the techo gorgon head is pretty cool!

Breaking the current trend Blackstone Fortress will cost 95 ł

Unfortunately leaked pic show only price and hexes

[Dr. Zombie]

I am always really tempted by all these new preview pictures. But then I see the prices and snap back to reality.

They are simply to expensive for me. Because I would only get to play this game once or twice. As a sideshow to my other hobby doings.

But them minis sure do look nice.

[AWu]

To be honest. My fun with them is more of playing with miniatures, converting and painting than gaming with them
So Ive bought Rogue Trader with absolutely no intention to use it as a game.

Here will be the same, but there is a chance I will play he game

Doesn't look like a lot of bang for your buck does it?

No it doesn’t. GW.
