Games Workshop - Space Marine Adventures (Boxed Game)

Product Information

Fans of Space Marine Adventures and new players alike can look forward to a fresh entry in the co-operative board game series, as three embattled Space Marines face off against a hive city swarming with Chaos Cultists to deactivate a cataclysmic weapon and perhaps even escape with their lives. A short burst of shots ring out and the music stops as the elevator continues its descent into the Hive] Choose one of the multiple classes and take part in brutal combat encounters: embark on a huge variety of missions with your fellow agents and fight through the single-player story campaign set on a haunted fortress-monastery which hides a terrible secret from the past of the Inquisition. The first Action-RPG set in the grim future of the 41st Millennium takes the genre to its next level: an open-world sandbox game with a persistent universe with a huge variety of missions, tactical, brutal combat encounters in destructible environments and a storyline influenced by the community of players. Interacting can be sealing a tunnel which has you placing a Space Marine branded sewer cover token on the open shaft, collecting the deactivation codes (you get a token as if the Marine jotted the code down on a scratchpad), or deactivating the Doomsday device, which is sort of why you’re there. Take control of a squad of brave Space Marine Terminators and work as a team to defend Shield Generator Gamma-9 against wave after wave of brutish Orks. Can you hold the line in the face of overwhelming odds? [2]

Space Marine Adventures: Doomsday Countdown - Lexicanum Space Marine Adventures: Doomsday Countdown - Lexicanum

There are a huge variety of outcomes available, ranging from one extreme to the other. In fact, you can even directly replicate the Chapter Tactic of a First Founding Chapter according to its genetic heritage in the lore, or one on which you’ve chosen to base a successor Chapter of your own creation. The box shows a suggested age of 12+. So I figured it would be a bit of a challenge if Lila lead the squad with my wizened tactical brain offering just light support. She’s seven, not 12, and this is exactly the type of subject matter a father shouldn’t be foisting on their child. But she’s seen Jaws and sort of played Mansions of Madness with me. She will be alright. Hopefully. Space Marine Adventures is a fantastic way to get younger players started on their own forays into the 41st Millennium. The game contains 10 push-fit Citadel miniatures and easy-to-learn rules to ensure that even novice players will be up and running within minutes. With games taking only 30-45 minutes to play, you can squeeze one in while you’re waiting for that Nuln Oil to dry.

And the miniatures, as you’d expect from Games Workshop, are top-notch. These snap off the sprue and are gluelessly assembled by snapping together. The details are crisp, and you can almost hear them whisper “paint me” as you examine them. It’s subtle, but you can hear it. It’s also the sound of starting another hobby but one that gives your miniatures so much more table presence. Take control of three embattled Ultramarines Intercessors, as they face off against a Hive city swarming with Chaos Cultists to deactivate a cataclysmic weapon and perhaps even escape with their lives. [1] Contents [1] So first I ask her if she even wants to play. She looks at the game set-up: awesome minis, neat labyrinthine corridors, and of course dice. She hesitates. Crypt Hunters is based on the Lost Patrol game engine, but the game balance is improved in every way. It’s still a challenge to beat the game, but the Stormcasts don’t die as fast as the Scouts in Lost Patrol, and have three power cards to spice things up. The game has a really satisfying combination of tile placement, which can get very strategic once you get the hang of it and dice-driven combat. As games play fast, about 30 minutes (or a bit longer for the “campaign” two-part game), it doesn’t feel grindy, and is a great filler or warm-up game. Like Space Hulk or similar games, being the Nighthaunt player feels a bit like acting as the game master for the Stormcast player, so I recommend to switch sides after each game to keep things fresh for both players.
