Man Versus Alien In Desperate Battle! The tagline says it all. What a fantastic game. This particular edition is the 4th version from 2014.

Space Hulk has been out of print for almost a decade, and needless to say, we’d love to see a rerelease! No, not a Kill Team or a Boarding Actions “reimagining”, just… Space Hulk.

THE PLAYERS

Space Marines: Mikey from @HellstormWargaming

Genestealers: Steve from Little Plastic People

    Hope you enjoyed this one-off "let's play" video! Let us know if you want to see more like this. By the way, here are some rules that the dudes didn't get quite right, just in case you were wondering: - The Terminators can't jam during their action phase, only in overwatch. They ended up wasting an action point clearing a jam that would have never happened. - Sustained Fire only comes into effect if you remain stationary. A couple of times, Mikey used the rule while moving and shooting. - Mikey forgot the +1 to the Librarian gets to his close combat attacks, so wasted a couple of Psi-points boosting his beyond what was required. - Both players accidentally played a double turn 5, so the Genestealers would have started receiving 3 blips in the reinforcement phase 1 turn before they did. Even given those small mistakes, I don't think it would have changed the outcome much. What a brutal game!

    Space Hulk being GW's best board game is less of an opinion and more of an observable and commonly accepted scientific law. Can't wait to see the whole vid!
  • Doubles only jam if the Marine is firing on overwatch in the Genestealers' turn. Those two Marine turn "jams" shouldn't have been jams. That totally would have turned the game, honest... Steve never would have stood a chance! 🤣

    Are you sure this is just a fun one-off? Because this being a series would be very cool

    In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only doors
  • BEHZINGHA THIS DOOR. I got things wrong but i blame Steve and his insitence to use a timer on me 👀 I love this game, I wish we could play more! (Go on Guy, how many likes on the video for a follow up 😘)

    One of my biggest regrets is selling my copy of 1st edition Space Hulk without actually playing it!!
  • Man those one hit kills make for a tense game. Playing gene stealers looks like a pretty stress free experience while every roll as the terminators felt so dire. Very fun to see a GW game that doesn’t require making a million choices before you can even play the game.

    Space Hulk got me into 40k ages ago. Needless to say, I was all for the 10th edition box.
  • @soupalex
    "stuff you'd like to see improved" yeah, mikey's dice rolls!
  • @DkJ40K
    As if my day couldn’t get better! The best warhammer game being played by the best warhammer youtuber!
  • @mrpizzacat8273
    I’d love to see a tutorial for that Terminator scheme. It seems more advanced than your regular output but I’d still love to see how it’s done even if I can’t do it.
  • GW really needs to make this an evergreen game That or someone needs to make a spiritual sequel
  • Wonderful players, a delightfully painted set, and the lighting really enhanced the atmosphere of this game! Great all around! RIP Barry Bigclaws, taken too soon!

    Ooof.... the Emperor did not protect! Great game, gang! That took me back on a nostalgia trip.
  • @LPP_YT
    Bloody love this game (the edit isn't bad either 😉). It was so much fun to play Mikey in a game I could actually compete in (if only because its almost impossible for the marine player to win).
  • @alexgant6794
    I don’t have a huge experience of playing GW games but I have always loved Space Hulk and this video shows most of the reasons why. It has a simple rules set which allows players to focus on strategy as opposed to thumbing through pages and pages of rule books and codices. It’s incredibly tactical - although the general perception is that the odds are always stacked against the marines, in my experience, there is always a way for them to win if they deploy their squad(s) correctly and a few dice rolls go their way. The board looks amazing and, most importantly, it’s great fun to play. Thanks so much for the video Guy and co. I really enjoyed it.

    Thanks to everyone involved for a very entertaining game! I'm not sure if it's a contender for GW's best board game, but I've always been a bit fascinated by Warhammer Quest ... one of my first issues of White Dwarf had a big article celebrating its second birthday, and to a young lad whose only RPG experience at that point was the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, it seemed magnificent. If anyone happens to know of any good YouTubers (or other varieties of Interneteers) who actually still play Quest, please let me know!
