Space Hulk games from May 1st

Oops, little behind on posting this. Played two games of Space Hulk vs Rob on Saturday, May 1st, at the Family Game Store.

We were determined to try some other missions, having only played Mission 1 (several times).

We started with Mission 2. I took the Space Marines, Rob took the Genestealers.

In this mission, the Space Marines get scattered across the board, and their objective is to kill all the Genestealers, or stop them from entering the map.

Going to use a Slideshow for this one, since my normal play-by-play will be a little too dull. All pictures are taken at the end of the Genestealer turn (for both playthroughs).



Did alright for a while, but when the top of the board fell, the Genestealers were able to rush done to the only guy I had left... my Assault Cannon Terminator. He killed valiantly, but when he ran out of ammo, he was down to using just his fists. 3 Genestealers left to go, he fell. Nearly a victory!

The second game, we ran Mission 3. Rob played the Space Marines (his first attempt).

In this mission, there are two Terminator Squads. The ones on the top of the board are to bring an object to the bottom of the board. The bottom squad is there to provide cover, support, and a clear path.



Rob ends up losing, as you see. The Terminators are tougher to use, but since they are far more rewarding to play, in my opinion.

Overall, two great games, and what a fantastic time! Hopefully we'll break this out again soon and get through the rest of the missions!

Space Hulk

So, got my Space Hulk Battlefoam today. Fits pretty well into the box (although had to watch the video to get the corridors fitting moderately. Doesn't close quite as well, and one Genestealer doesn't fit (and for the life of me couldn't figure it out), but otherwise plenty happy. This also means I've succeeded in assembling all of my Space Hulk miniatures. Now I just need some games!

Either later this week or next week, I'm going to start with some terrain or painting stuff. I'm going to try my hand at building some random terrain (probably out of a No Quarter or White Dwarf magazine), as well as begin doing the work for converting/painting/finishing my Dark Elf lord (from my army list). Also, maybe a game of Monsterpocalypse with Rob tomorrow (and maybe our new figures will come in??). And finally, will start working on some of my 40K stuff! Busy busy! Will keep ya posted!
