Space Hulk: Sergeant Gideon and Brother Leon

Finally playable!

I finished the last of the two Space Marines- giving me two squads of 5 Terminators.

I finished them in time for my friends and I to give Space Hulk a go.  Unfortunately things didn't go well for the Blood Angels and they lost twice in a row!  Space Hulk reminds me very much of a tower defence game- using storm bolters to cover long corridors and keeping the heavy weapons to clean out the rooms.

The Blood Angels will never stop though.  Onwards!

Space Hulk: Brother Omnio, Brother Goriel and Brother Scipio

Tearing it up.
Another week done and another 3 Terminators completed.

I'll hopefully have the last squad of 5 completed soon- and then it'll be time to play Space Hulk!

Space Hulk: Brother Noctis, Brother Deino, Brother Valencio

In the Grim Darkness of the 41st Millennium...

They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me. 
Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war forge them. 
They will be of iron will and steely muscle. 
In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. 
They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. 
They will have tactics, strategies and machines such that no foe can best them in battle. 
They are my bulwark against the Terror. 
They are the Defenders of Humanity. 
They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear.
--The Emperor of Mankind.

I've always loved Space Hulk- one of my favourite board games of all time.

However, with Infinity taking up a lot of my time I just haven't been able to get the Space Hulk figures painted (a personal requirement I have before playing with them).

I don't normally paint board game figures but these were so nice I just had to do it.  Thus it had sat in its shrink wrap for over 5 months!!!

There will never be a good time to do this.  The Combined Army will have to wait- for a few weeks anyway.
