 These
are dark times in the land of Bretonnia. Our kingdom is without
a King while many enemies assault our noble realm from within and
without. The Orcs are massing in the Grey Mountains, hideous monsters
stalk the land, and our kingdom seems set to tear itself apart from
the inside. Duke Maldred claims to possess the Grail and the Fay
Enchantress is lost to us. Only faith in the Lady can help us now.
Quest for the Grail is a small-scale skirmish
game for Bretonnian generals (and other Warhammer generals) to enjoy
while they are working on building their larger armies. Based upon
the popular Path to Glory - Rules for Fighting with Chaos Warbands,
this game allows players to create a Paladin and a small band
of followers, send them on adventures, and watch the retinue grow
with experience.
 Although
the Quest for the Grail game is set during the infamous period
of Bretonnian history known as the Affair of the False Grail (see
Introduction),
players should feel free to set their campaign in any period of
Bretonnian history they wish. The given setting is simply a great
time to have Bretonnians fighting Bretonnians!
Are these rules official? First of all, what does
that mean? If you are asking if you will see these rules used in
an upcoming Grand Tournament, then the answer is "no."
Will an inspired Rogue Trader store run an event based upon them?
Probably, someone will. The purpose of this rule set (like the General's
Compendium), is to get Warhammer fans playing games and having
a good time. The best part is that you only need a handful of toy
soldiers to play, and it might inspire someone in your gaming group
to building an entire Bretonnian army.
Below are pages and pages of rules that you can view
on this very web site. Alternately, you could download the rules,
roster sheet, and first batch of scenarios by clicking on the links

Once you've got a good grasp of the rules and you're
ready to start a campaign, expand
upon this material with guidelines
on running your own Quest for the Grail campaign, rules
clarifications, retinue
galleries, and rules
for adding a Jousting Tournament to your campaign.
