Space Hulk -- It's Not Easy Being Blue

Posted by Ranillon on 18. August 2009 20:07

As I am sure most everyone has already heard Games-Workshop is coming out with a new addition of Space Hulk in September. The models are all plastic, yet are still of amazing quality. Here are two examples I grabbed off the GW website.

For a 40K player like me who has a 55-man terminator army and a ~200 model Tyranid army the arrival of this new Space Hulk game is like mana from the gaming gods! It's also a basic requirement for running 40K Space Hulk next year at Origins. I may or may not incorporate the new rules (40K Space Hulk is ultimately more about the flavor of hunting big bugs in small narrow places than per se obeying any particular rules set), but I certainly need to see them. Besides, the new models really are great...

...except that is for one thing -- they all have Blood Angel symbols and regalia! Great if you play BA, but bad if you play any other space marine chapter. My blue colored Star Guard terminators (who are meant to be a successor chapter to the Dark Angels) are going to look weird with Blood Angel symbolism. If I want to add them to my terminator force -- and, I do -- it'll mean a lot of sanding and filing in order for them to fit my army theme.

Of course, the fact that I would go through such extra effort demonstrates just how good these new models are. Can't wait for September.

Speaking as someone who has a vast space marine force with absolutely ZERO terminator models (in fact I traded you all mine so you could make your deathwing army...), I have ABSOLUTELY no problem adding these new minis to my force. I can find a reason to have jewels/tears/blooddrops on them.

The models really are fantastic plastic. =)

LOL. I can't think of a reason to order the box.....let alone follow the sycophant pretenders of the corpse-god! LOL

If I can change the termies into Star Guard I'm sure you could turn them into traitor marines (who would quickly fall to the might of the God Emperor, of course).
