The aim of this challenge is simple: let's celebrate Space Hulk!
Space Hulk has been a firm favourite among gamers, both on the table and on the screen, for a long time. The release of Space Hulk: Tactics, bringing players even closer to Space Hulk's visceral experience, provides us with the perfect chance to show off the impact the game has had for so many of us.
All you have to do to enter is follow these steps for creating a project:
First, go to the Projects section of OnTableTop and select Add a Project.
When creating your Project, scroll down the page and add Space Hulk to the Related Game option.
Finally, go down to Related Contest and select Space Hulk Tactics Hobby Challenge.
And you're in! Time to put on your Terminator armour and delve into some Space Hulk.
What We Are Looking For
Your Project can be focused on anything you want, as long as it is Space Hulk related.
Got a set of Terminators you've been meaning to paint up? Go for it! Working on a story about a group of Terminators fighting off hordes of Genestealers? We want to read it! Got an idea for a diorama? Show us how you're going to make it. Have come up with a Genestealer cosplay for yourself and your dog that you plan to trot out for Halloween? Definitely share your plans.
Entries will all be judged for a number of different categories:
- Best Idea - For the most imaginative Project, the one that really makes us jealous we didn't think of that first.
- Most Skillful - For those whose painting, writing or any other hobby skills leave us in wonder.
- Best Tutorial - We want to learn from this too! Take us through the steps for making your Space Hulk Project.
- Judges' Favourite - The overall prize for the Project that truly caught our discerning judges' eye.
Each category will have one prize winner, as well as a runner-up, so there are plenty of opportunities to show off your hobby skills.

First, the overall winner of the coveted Judges' Favourite will receive:
- One copy of Space Hulk: Tactics (for PC, PS4, or Xbox One)

The winners of the other three categories are getting plenty of cool stuff too, including:

About Space Hulk: Tactics
Space Hulk: Tactics is the new video game adaptation of the popular, turn-based strategy board game, first released by Games Workshop in 1989.
Players can take on the role of either the Genestealers, foul Xenos creatures that infest the derelict wrecks known as Space Hulks, or a unit of mighty Space Marine Terminators tasked with carrying out a variety of missions in the face of the alien menace.
The game features two solo narrative campaigns, written by Black Library author James Swallow. One tells the story of the Blood Angels, venturing into the confines of the Space Hulk "The Forsaken Doom" in order to prevent it wiping out the forge world Gorgonum.
Meanwhile, the Genestealers campaign tells you the history of the Space Hulk, letting you command the Genestealers as the swarm across the wreckage of the ship, fighting off endless attempts by the Imperium to clear them out.
Once you have finished with solo-gameplay, head online to take part in the game's multiplayer mode. Faceoff as Genestealers, or Space Marines from one of four different iconic chapters.
The game offers plenty of opportunity for customization, with plenty of options for kitting out your squad and modifying their appearance to make them your own.
Most excitingly, Space Hulk: Tactics brings in a new card system to help in your games. The cards you have depends on the classes in your squad and what they are equipped with. they can give you useful abilities, providing an edge in combat, or can be burned to either summon new Genestealer units or grant the Space Marines more vital action points.
There is also a map builder option, letting you create your own Spcae Hulk scenarios through the environments of Imperial, Eldar, and Ork environments.
The game is due for release on October 9th.

This is a seriously cool competition, good luck to everyone who enters.
Those beer steins would make the perfect tea mug
Hmmmmm I do have that still wrapped 4th edition (actually have all editions, but 4th is the only unpainted one) set my shelfs… And the boarding torpedo is begging for the 2.5d treatment
How long will this contest run? I probably won’t take part because of very little painting time but just out of interest, I got a box of Thousands Son Terminator lying around I want to paint, could I enter with those or are only loyal Terminators accepted?
What We Are Looking For
Your Project can be focused on anything you want, as long as it is Space Hulk related.
Got a set of Terminators you’ve been meaning to paint up? Go for it! Working on a story about a group of Terminators fighting off hordes of Genestealers? We want to read it! Got an idea for a diorama? Show us how you’re going to make it. Have come up with a Genestealer cosplay for yourself and your dog that you plan to trot out for Halloween? Definitely share your plans.
Thx, I read that but Space Hulk alwys featured non Chaos Terminators so I thought they may not be allowed.
As Chaos and Gene Stealers hate each other for pinching the others prey, dont see why you couldnt!
Based on above, new rule ideas?
As Incursion was really basically SH in WW2 wonder what can be modified and brought accross.
How long is the competition open for
8 Weeks
I’ll have @dracs update the post with the closing date etc
A great prize to win.
Going to have to have a thunk on this one, had it been this time last year, was painting up my ebay acquired copy. Did notice the multiple versions on the rack at back during Boot Camp.
I’m building a Space Hulk game experience only using Dwarven Forge tiles and sub’ing Space Marine Terminators for Stormcast Eternals. The mechanics will be the same as the regular game, just a terrain swap and mini substitution. All for aesthetics 😉
Who ever thought you could win something for doing something you love!! cool – I’m in.
All the best to all the entrants – some really thought provoking ideas here!!
