New Heroic 40K Space Marine Adventures Missions Await
November 6, 2019 by brennon
Games Workshop is also adding to their Space Marine Adventures game which is also available through Barnes & Noble. Two new expansions are popping up in North America for this game where you and your Space Marine allies are trying to escape from a Necron Tomb.
Expand Into A Warhammer 40,000 Army @ Store.OnTableTop
The two new missions here are the Recon Mission and the Rescue Mission (seen below). You get a set of Space Marines which can be pushed together and played with immediately, each of them in coloured plastic so you don't have to paint them if you don't want to.
Inside these boxes, you get new missions to play plus even some special releases from the Space Marine Heroes: Series 1 line-up including the Captain with Power Sword & Plasma Pistol that you can see in Recon Mission.
The game itself is akin to Warhammer Quest of old, Blackstone Fortress and Space Hulk with you traversing these labyrinthine halls battling against the Necron threat and avoiding terrible traps.
- Find everything you need to battle through a Necron tomb in one box, with models, rules, game boards, accessories and more.
- Just pop your Space Marines off the frame and push-fit their pieces – no clippers or glue required!
- Learn to play with a 16-page rulebook plus a quick-reference sheet.
- Explore the labyrinth with three double-sided tiles.
- Cards with stats for four sinister Necron opponents.
This, again, seems like a nice quick way to get people invested in the world of Warhammer 40,000 with some cool miniatures and a fun setting. The push-fit nature of the models and the fact that it has a board game feel means it should be something to keep an eye out for if your young'uns have expressed an interest in the grimdark future.
Plus, with the fight being between big hulking Space Marines and killer robots in the Necrons means that it is a bit more family-friendly.
Could you be tempted to snap this up? If you're over in the US and you have a chance to pick this up it would be fun to find out how this game actually plays!

Sounds like a new version of space crusade with necrons instead of chaos figures?
Any pictures of the model’s?
The Necrons in the game are represented by tokens.
Ooh shame.
Also exactly what i was thinking.
Exactly what i was thinking. BTW, you might remember there were ‘androids’ in the original Space Crusade game.
I saw a copy of this game at my local Barnes and Noble not too long ago, and while I’m not happy that you don’t get any push-fit ‘crons in the box, it’s a nice and simple game for getting into 40K, and the fact you get some decent-quality push-fit Space Marines to play with either in the game or in 40K proper is also good. Though I confess, it’s tempting to pick these up just to get the rest of the Space Marine Heroes range that I couldn’t find.
People going to be buying Recon mission just for the Captain! lol
