Beam Me Up, Scotty!

The 20th anniversary edition of Space Hulk is out and it’s fantastic. To mark the occasion, we decided to have a massive eight-player game across three boards!

The scenario involved Terminators from both the Blood Angels and Space Wolves chapters. Their mission was to contact a unit of Space Marines trapped deep within the bowels of the space hulk and teleport them out to safety. Did they manage it? Read on…

The game was played across three boards - two new sets and one of the origianls.
