| I've bought quite a lot of stuff from fantasy flight and it is generally of a very high quality. I haven't seen this particular product, but definitely worth a closer look. They are doing what GW should have done with the IP. I keep meaning to buy the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay books they do. The Space Hulk in my Pocket link was interesting too! Laney

| HOLY COW!!! YOU FOUND IT!!!! I have been looking for this! I played it last Winter with my wife's cousins... VERY FUN! We played 4 games (until 4 am!). The premise is that all the Blood Angels are divided in small groups and every player takes some 'Teams'. So if you have 6 players, each player has a Team of 3 Termis (the teams are set in stone... you can't mix-and-match). If you play alone, you control ALL the Termies. Now, you set up a 'board' with cards (events) and try to get to the 'exit' based on the Scenario you decide to play. You could even use models (instead of cards) to mark where you are.  I found that there are some 'game mechanics' issues with the Genestealers... I put my designer hat and created some house rules that fixed the problems, but I forgot to write them down (I just finished releasing TLRB v0.6.0 so I was SUPER sick of writing rules down! ) It is a great game... I have been looking for it to buy it. _________________ . The Mordheimer - Death Squads' Chief Editor & Ninja Designer. Bursting with ARACHAS' Dev-Powah™!

| Looks indeed like an interesting game! Have been playing Arhham Horror from Fantasy Flight lately with a group of friends. Also a very sweet game! |

| I am MUCH anticipating this from Fantasy Flight...... They just did a large demo at GenCon recently
X-Wing Tactical Space Combat
I played the x-wing sim for PC when it was out in the early 90's (granted I was only 8 at the time of its release). I have always loved the Star Wars series, and even own many of its novels. This game combines the best of the Star Wars universe with table top gaming......all a geek could ever need.

X-Wing was a great game!
But I think I liked the Tie Fighter game even more, it was great to fly a Tie Bomber and bomb that rebel scum! |

| Or even better: X-Wing vs. TIE-Fighter! ;D But seriously, X-Wing Alliance was the best. As much as I loved the older games, XWA was... AMAZING. Who else used godmode to win the Death Star level?  _________________ Arachas - The one who changes Avatars more than Lady Gaga changes costumes - Bursting with Dev-Powah™!!Tau Squad Co-Lead Designer |

$5GBP for the Card box set, expansion pack, and some extra Space hulk tokens, for the price it would cost me to just buy the Starter box set here in New Zealand.
As for the Space Hulk board game i got it here in NZ the guy emailed me I should have it by Monday; Tuesday at the very latest. All miniatures glued and cleaned [not painted] doors set up and everything removed from the card sheets. So all I got to do it unpack it and I can have a quick game. I bought 5 Space Hulk Genestealers off Ebay some time ago as I really liked the look of them so can't wait to get the rest and paint them up.
Not sure if I'll keep the Marines. I am mainly after the tiles, blips and doors for me to play test FiCQ [Fighting in Close Quarters] but then again I may keep them [they are nice minis].
Cheers
LGW
