Space Hulk: 360˚ Miniature Gallery
Introduction
Space Hulk is the game of man verses alien in desperate battle, a classic board game pitting the might of the Space Marine Terminators against the lethal menace of the Genestealers that infest the cramped corridors of the space hulk, Sin of Damnation.
In Space Hulk one player takes on the role of the Blood Angels Space Marines while the other acts as the Genestealers. The Blood Angels are tasked with boarding the monstrous Space Hulk Sin of Damnation, retrieving priceless relics from within its labyrinthine bulk and eradicating the Genestealer threat. The Genestealer player must do everything in his power to hamper the Blood Angels, staging daring ambushes and butchering the Blood Angels in brutal melee. Of course, with Space Hulk, half the fun is seeing if you can do better than your opponent, so players reverse roles after each scenario to see who is truly the best.
The new edition of Space Hulk features twelve all-action scenarios pitting the Space Marines in deadly missions. Veterans from previous editions of the game will recognise these as the 6 classic Space Hulk scenarios, and six others chosen from amongst original Space Hulk supplements such as Genestealer and Deathwing. This new edition of Space Hulk is a complete, stand alone boxed game - there will be no supplements or expansions, so when games designer Jervis Johnson commenced work upon it, he cherry-picked the very best of the missions and rules from previous editions to make this the ultimate Space Hulk experience.
In fact, calling this the ultimate edition of Space Hulk isn't just blowing hot air - every element of the boxed game, from the evocative artwork adorning the box cover, to the full-colour card tiles and the sumptuous Rulebook and Mission Book to the masterfully produced plastic Citadel Miniatures that serve as the playing pieces for the game - the Studio design team responsible for Space Hulk have raised the bar with this new boxed game.
Here in the Studio, we're so excited about the phenomenal plastic miniatures contained within the Space Hulk boxed game that we simply had to include a showcase that displays them in all their glory: The techniques used by master-sculptor Alex Hedstrom and our elite team of plastics tooling engineers have broken new ground, pushing the limits of Games Workshop's cutting edge mould making facilities. The result are push-fit plastic miniatures with an unprecedented level of detail: each of the Space Marine Terminators is a stunning centrepiece in his own right, and the Genestealers ooze dynamism and alien menace.
Over the following pages we'll introduce the Space Marines of Blood Angels Squads Lorenzo and Gideon, as well as the survivors of Squads Callistarius and Leodinus in a lavishly detailed 360˚ rotating gallery. It would be wrong to leave the villains of the game without their moment in the spotlight too, so we've included the mighty Broodlord and one of the 22 individual Genestealers.
