A deep space freighter has been overtaken by Xenos, the Colonial Marines have to blow the reactor to destroy it before it docks.
Space Hulk, you know it has to be done...
Stay Frosty Marines
Lower level of the ship, storage to the LHS, reactor access to the RHS
Reactor control station (P marker as I couldn't find my computer marker)
Splat, smart gun greases one
Braaap! watch the splatter
False alarm (entry site secured)
Heads on a swivel Marines
Still no closer to the objective
we got more bogeys inbound
Bolt racked, meet a personal friend of mine, this is my very own M41A... ...Braaap!
Its still just right there
Oh man, they are all over me
They are on me like a cheap suit
Oh man, game over, game over man!
Chomp!
Lets just stay where we are for a while?
Its right there, lets go!
Braaap!
And Exhale.
But wait, there's only one of them
Click, click, not a good sound
Oh please, oh please unjam
Watch that acid back splash
Yup, let's grab a coffee?
Ammo up Marines, its go time
Ping, Ping, Ping, Ping...
Missed, one more CP of firing...
Hit! Reactor controls destroyed.
"Danger, core meltdown in 3 minutes, please proceed to the escape pods immediately"
(no more bug reinforcements from here on)
The ladder down to the escape pods
You first, no you first...
Someone has to do it Marines or we are all dead
Not me! Now how does the escape pod work?
and once more with feeling, Braaap!
Fast forwards a couple of moves, Braaap! no door
Hssss
M56 says, NO
Escape pod hatch located
The three survivors of the squad that went in, but they prevented the infected ship from docking, saving many lives.
I've played many games of Space Hulk they are always tense and swing both ways, its a great sytem and a fun game. Beats me why GW doesn't still sell this game
But I don't use thier figs so I don't care. My favourites are the Aliens/Colonial Marines. This is my box of Reverisco Revenants, up until recently, the best stand in for 20mm Xenos I could find
Why recently? Because the same guy that made the Marines makes these beauties
3-up of 6mm Xenos, ideal for 20mm. And the dynamism and variety of poses is super. So I got a lot (120 of them...)
But wht about eggs? Well Estsy to the rescue again, a seller had these markers in FDM. Of course I had to have a set. They are supposed to be for 28mm, but they are a bit small, so ideal for the 20mm figs.
P.S. The eggs are listed as Tyranid objective markers, this seller has them: 3DSupplyDropper
I love this post. I'm off to Etsy now!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking setup and game!
