Space Hulk

I don't game anymore...

...because you don't have the new Space Hulk

actually, it's not that pricey. I mean, 70 pounds (UK price) is a lot of money, of course. But, 5-men termies squad costs 25 pounds.
you get 12 termies in this game (including a boss). one would have to pay like 60 pounds for them. this almost equals the SH price, and in game box you get over 20 nids models, scenery bits and some other stuff.
70 pounds is too much for me to spend on a board game, but if I was a player needing 10 termies - I'd probably go for these guys.

Also i have been informed by some people who have played a couple games already (an extract from Heresy forums):

There are 12 termies:

Librarian
Sergeant with power sword, which gives bonusses in cc.
Lightning claw guy
Thunder hammer and storm shield
storm bolter and chainfist
Assault cannon and power fist
Heavy flamer and power fist
5 guys with storm bolter and power fist

The termies aren't on bases as such. To use in 40k you would have to give them 40mm bases, but then they wouldn't fit well onto the board for space hulk as the squares are (about) 25mm.

The stealers are nice too and lots of them are doing interesting stuff. There's one nice model that's bursting through the floor, but which would look even better if you made it a base so it was coming through the wall. Not all stealers are unique though. I think you get something like 2 or 3 identical sprues. To be honest though, if all 22 are on the board at once, something is wrong.

We didn't use the librarian or lightning claw guy. Unsure how librarian works, but he had some kind of "ammo" track thing rather like the assault cannon. This being a game in gw that the guys had only had for a day or two, we were probably getting about half the rules wrong.

I liked the floor tiles. They are card but have details embossed into them, so they are slightly textured. I didn't take along any of my old ones but it looks to me like they would be compatible. Everything was on the same scale.

PS: oh nameless the price for the boxed set is just under £60

The librarian is really nice a bit static tho, but i would hack him up a bit and repose him ^^

here is the dead terminator on throne painted by one of the staff members at GW (non-eavy metal, i believe).

You could make a nice mini if you would replace the head with a normal one and green stuff some beer bottles around him
