Great buys - you'd probably get your money back selling the marines separate on ebay if you didn't want them (beautiful minis though - some of GWs best)

Space Hulk was the best thing that GW have released in ages (why they made it a limited run I don't know). Maybe blood bowl and a few other specialist games will get the same treatment. Some nice shiny Necromunda minis would work great for death squads. I did hear a rumour (so heap salt on it) that GW were going to do something new along these lines, most likely 40k based. GW supporting specialist games? yeah right!

LGW please give us a review of the card game when you get the chance - cheers.

One of my first GW game was Blood Bowl - I'd be first in line to get a new Blood Bowl set (particularly if it came with some star players!).

Cheers Laney

I played 2nd Edition (the one with the polystyrene 'astrogranite' pitch) and the star players and blood bowl companion extensions - I had Skaven, Orcs, Humans, Chaos (I loved the chaos allstars), Elves. The undead (skeletons - the Champions of Death) absolutely sucked if I remember right. Main teams Skaven and Chaos (allstars) - loved the mutants you used to be able to have. I've got a copy of the latest edition - but no teams to play with!

My team was the Maugenheim Titans (Colours - Black (lots of) and Dark Red). Based entirely on the american football team I played in as a teenager (good times!) - the Tiptree Titans.

Cheers Laney

nice I forgot i had a mini undead team using Deadlings

they were fun but have a look at these Orcs from Impact Miniatures



I wonder if a squad could be made from them MMMWWWWHHHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Cheers

I had the same edition! I was in college Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG) and we played for the T.A. Championship ... the trophy was a real mug of beer (the T.A. Mug!) that the winner of the game had to chug. Talk about motivation to win! Hehehehe... wonder what happened to that thing. I played Chaos All-Stars. My team colors were maroon and white (the University's colors) and what I remember the most (all is a blur... I won lots of games) was my All-Star Ogryn. His name was "Senob N'Sluuks (Skulls-n-Bones, backwards... I was not good with names) and he had the League's record for 'Most Referee's Killed'! Great times...

I sold all my BB stuff 3 or 4 years ago in eBay. I have nobody to play and I needed some cash.

I just noticed we hijacked the thread! When Arachas sees this, he is going to have a coronary! Hhehehehe

Mord its my thread...... I started that hijack

Mord just edit the 1st thread name to have Space Hulk: Death Angel Card Game & Blood Bowl

I sold all my Blood Bowl stuff as well due to lack of players. But If they re-release it I am in with a grin.....

Nice price for that Space Hulk box!
I still regret that I didn't bought that set when it was released in 2009...

Those Orcs look like Gwar.

Well both of my packages arrived. The Space Hulk board game had one Jam counter missing, the artifact and one genestealer broken. [the genestealer wasn't an issue I had 5 spares in storage that I bought off ebay awhile ago cause I liked the look of them. just the chalice that bugs me as I need it for a couple of the missions. but good thing the guy who sold it to me is trying to source them for me....]

as for the card game well here is an over view:


The Core box and expansion pack


The Contents, tokens, cards, rule book, dice


Back of the tokens

Front of the Tokens. The storm bolters are your support tokens. the coloured tokens are there to help randomize which team you'll take.


Team cards. Each one gives the teams the ability to move+activate, attack and support.


examples of the Grey and Blue teams cards.


Grey and Yellow Teams.


Green and Purple Teams.


Red and Blue Teams.

One thing you should note each team has a specialist in it either that or a sergeant card. [eg Lightning claws, heavy flamer, assault cannon are all in separate teams so each one has pros and cons.]

Well that's the first part of the overview will post pics and more info about the remaining bitz and also what you get in the expansion pack.
once the general over view has been done I'll do a one step process through the turn sequence and basically how a single player game would work.
