Well, I haven’t played this in years and when Jason suggested a game I jumped at it.
I had two squads of Space marine terminators, Squad Caristo and Squad Ticino , each consisting of a sergeant, one Space Marine armed with a flamer and three Space Marines armed with storm bolters. I am amazed at how quickly the “jargon” returns.
The floor of the Space Hulk
To win I needed to cleanse two rooms being used as “Gene Banks” in order to protect the Chapters gene-seed. Failing to cleanse the rooms was a win the the Genestealers.
As soon as the Terminators board they are set upon by Genestealers.
A slow and steady advance has seen a couple of Terminators and loads of “stealers meet their maker.
Gradually whittling the “stealers down, and at last some of the captured Marines “purged” (top center)
All captured Marines purged with own two terminators left. A near run thing for the Emperor’s finest!
Can’t beat the original Space Hulk, for the gaming.
Space Crusade goes close!
Excellent stuff! 🙂
Thanks John
I also haven’t played Space Hulk in years, good memories
Agreed must get more of these old relics out. Oh wait I am one!
And painted figures too!
Nice
Yep Jason did a great job on the figures.
A good game however I will need to review my tactics having lost twice in a row… Or maybe I just need more Genestealers!
Bow to the conquering heroes.
Although you did whip our backsides last night playing Bryan Ansell’s “Street Violence”. Despite my grumbling I enjoyed the rules especially when I realised they were a revamp of his early Old West rule set, The Rules With No Name which I enjoyed back in the day. You know the one…………………when everything was bright and rosy!
Brilliant, I played this so much with my brother about 35 years ago.
About twenty years since I last played. With Space Wolf termies!
This makes me yearn to get my buddy Kev to break out his Space Hulk game and get a play in. Good fun. I saw a guy at the Fall In convention in the flea market selling 3rd edition Space Hulk (in shrink) for $350. Wow — grail game!
I was surprised at how well they stood up to the passage of time. A good fun, yet one in which tactical decisions had to be mad all of the time.
