Da Space Hulk calling Da Boyz
Update 2.
Been a bit since I updated this project, but we had numerous play tests on the original layout.
We have amended the spawn table for Genestealers and cultists based on combat experience, having found the former tough and the latter more of an annoyance you can’t ignore.
We have added medic stations for healing wounded orcs( a soldering iron and a staple gun) with permanent bays by the hulk entrances and more mobile ones as you go into the complex.
In addition Keith our resident Viking has been terrain building using whatever packaging he has in kitchen and odd other bits .
The central area of our 7 by 6 table has been left empty , partly because it had to reach but mainly a convenient place for player sheets, spare figures and terrain.
A.I
For Genestealers and Cultists a very simple die role is done for decisions , but if we expand it for Choas and Imperial forces we will be using a card system AI. similar to that used in Gears of War in attempt to give them are more themed basis.
Nice use of cooky trays! It’s what Space Hulks are made of on the inside.
But you didn’t cut apart the Space Crusade boards! That is not ok.
(Says the man who saws apart OOP Space Marine minis.)
I actually balked at the idea of cutting the boards apart, but then remembered my work with the minis and wonderes why I found cutting the boards so disturbing. And I somehow still do. That seems strange. I seem to attach a lot of nostalgia to those boards.
Boards not as bad as you think, Keith picked up a lot them in Charity shops,generally not full games with figures and bits missing, and he brought them to do projects as above.Plus he actually made his own boards for a lot of the bits, took him longer to make them look like the originals thane do the 3d bits.
Trust me my copy of S.H. the boards have not been touched,
Sooooo…. will you do some more on this? please? pretty please with cherry on top.
@sundancer Gerry mention this to me Yesterday when I asked him a hobby question. My group had wanted to restart this at the start of March and Keith who made all the terrain had dropped it over when we were finishing another game to lay out the next week. Then Covid hit and we probably have only met about 7 times since then and one of our group is still in longterm lockdown. We are planning restart it and our mad viking Keith has been building more terrain for it, but he lives in Wolverhampton which is in lockdown now……… Read more »
