Space Hulk, it would seem.

So, GW has decided to remake Space Hulk, using the newer Broodlord character, and throwing some new rules in.

A Broodlord, and a Librarian; this should make things interesting.


And well, fuck.
Now I'll have to do a Team of Terminators to play it with :D

Boy am I looking forward to that. Although I must admit I only ever played some fan-made SH games online, and making tiles and stuff yourself, getting some terminators and 'stealers (or just use whatever minatures lying around) and looking up rules and missions online would be cheaper I suppose.
I'll still get the box though :P

The PC game was great fun, too. Oh, those were the days!

Interestingly, what I get from the Broodlord vs Libby is that the BL is a low-level Psyker.

Well, Kind, ALL Synapse creatures are innately Psychic.
They channel telepathic messages, telepathy being a psychic ability.

It's very possible though that they'll get some other, rather potentially dangerous ability though, which may well coincide with the new Nids codex :D


I too have never played the board game, and have never played any computer versions either (although I'm looking forward to Teardown (renamed I think).

They will of course have to now add more stuff to the game, or possibly do it as an expansion :)


Anyway, I was planning to start a Marines army at some point anyway (just need to get some Nids done, or I never will), so the Terminators would be a good start.
Some Tactical Marines would be better to get first though, to get the Scheme down pat.

My one beef is the $99 price tag. That's a bit hefty, even if the minis are freakin' sweet-looking.

Hey,

Now Tyranid Players will have something to do before the new codex come out. ;)

No tanks in space hulk right...? HAHA JK

Winterous said...

Well Raptor, you are paying for 2 books, probably with a fair bit of fluff, and about 34 models.

And Josh, of COURSE there's tanks, they just have legs :D

@ Winterous

Yeah and 2+ saves! O_o

Infact maybe it is just a preview of the nuff that genestealers will get... lol
