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.
There's a long road ahead for the Blood Angels.
The Space Wolves entered from the opposite side of the space hulk.
"Anyone home?"
Genestealers attack from the rear.
... and from the side.
Time for some overwatch.
Jon looks concerned as his Terminators start to be picked off.
The Blood Angels press on.
"Hmmm... I wonder what's behind this door?"
"If I can't see them, they don't exist."
"Uh-oh."
"MEDIC!!!!!"
Thankfully the other squad of Blood Angels were working as a team.
Terminators - well versed in the art of Conga.
Overwatch - a very useful skill.
Meanwhile, the Terminators being rescued were holding their own.
The Space Wolves finally cleared a path to the lower deck.
... and so did the Blood Angels.
"Errr... I wouldn't look behind, if I was you."
"I think we're lost, boss."
The two Space Marine chapters finally meet up and start beaming out survivors.
The Blood Angels perform a desperate rear-guard action.
Another two Terminators beam out.
"Game over, man, game over!"
Surprisingly, this eight-player game was finished in three hours. Good work, everyone!
