Hi everyone! This post comes with an exciting announcement for you all. Here in Minisodes HQ I have been quietly plotting to dedicate more time and energy into the channel, giving you more Minisodes and finding more ways to share with you my love of the golden age of Warhammer. As of today, for the cost of a White Dwarf magazine circa 1997, you can access my new Patreon. I already have a podcast up for your listening pleasure, in which I (amongst other things) give you the inside scoop on the channel, future plans and a commentary on one of my favourite bits of 40k short fiction. This Patreon is very much inspired by this wonderful community and I can't wait to start engaging with patrons and hearing all about what you'd love to see from the channel (as well as having a good chinwag about all things 2nd Edition). Hope to see you over there. www.patreon.com/Minisodes

I really thought that last rush of stealers would be too much for Ezekiel, and he was about to go out like a lion dragged down by hyenas. His victory was a great reminder of how satisfying the uphill battle for the Terminators could be in first edition Space Hulk - outnumbered and out-clawed, but he kept his cool and played his wargear smartly to snatch the win.

Lovely game and great editing! I've only ever really played second edition Space Hulk, so it was interesting to see the slight differences in how it plays. Certainly an interesting and well-tuned mission - I was certain towards the end that it was all up for the marines, but somehow they managed to push through to victory!

@edpaintsminis 6 ай бұрын

Thank you so much. What I appreciate about 1st edition is that it applies cool RPGesque elements to an asymmetrical puzzle foundation. It's a super cool mission. The Captain, TWO heavy weapons and forcefield generator give the marines all the tools they need to get the job done. This would be insane with a regular squad i think!

@cjb53 6 ай бұрын

Loved this game, thanks for doing the vid. I thought Deathwing rules were peak 1st ed Space Hulk - I felt like Genestealer added complexity without making the game more fun. Couple of quibbles - I think you should have given yourself 2 more CP as long as the Captain was alive? And I think the movement rules in 1st ed allow the marines to move diagonally, and let them fire at a wider front arc. I kept wishing the terminators would fire at more doors! Anyway, minor stuff - I hope you do more Space Hulk, of any edition. Love the miniatures as well!
