The blip idea was a really cool way to simulate unknown opponent's. Not sure if any other game system has tried anything similar?<br /><br />Just out of curiosity, I noticed the crane there in the first photo. Did you end up using anything from the tutorial I did for you & Just John last year? I remember you said you wanted to rust up a crane, is that the one?<br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading the batrep's.<br /><br />Cheers Axiom :)Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-13793831032666334902015-07-04T02:21:20.562+01:002015-07-04T02:21:20.562+01:00Looking forward to seeing the battler report. :)Looking forward to seeing the battler report. :)airbornegrove26https://www.blogger.com/profile/16167504949340980657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-23894738441915719792015-07-03T15:02:52.736+01:002015-07-03T15:02:52.736+01:00Absolutely - we just need you and the other fellas...Absolutely - we just need you and the other fellas round the table and we're onto a winner I think ;)axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-67004223781505966712015-07-03T15:02:21.632+01:002015-07-03T15:02:21.632+01:00Agreed.

All we've done is simplify further to make sure the pace doesn't slow with all the extra players. Really looking forward to it myself :)axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-72396015166005228362015-07-03T14:57:38.081+01:002015-07-03T14:57:38.081+01:00Looks like a great game ahead from where I stand !...Looks like a great game ahead from where I stand ! <br />A well tested game on a gorgeous table with excellent players... with the bar a couple of feet away, I can't see anything missing for a great time !Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-55752110427274709172015-07-03T14:54:56.752+01:002015-07-03T14:54:56.752+01:00Space Hulk is one of if not the slickest ruleset t...Space Hulk is one of if not the slickest ruleset that GW ever came out with in my opinion. It's strengths are based on its simplicity, as your play testing seems to have confirmed. It is absolutely the best choice of mechanics for the game that you have planned. <br /><br />The new theme, backed up by that fantastic terrain is the cherry on top. This game is sure to be a BOYL 2015 highlight.<br /><br />Great work.<br />cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-51815727217109354692015-07-03T14:54:38.682+01:002015-07-03T14:54:38.682+01:00Space Hulk is one of if not the slickest ruleset t...Space Hulk is one of if not the slickest ruleset that GW ever came out with in my opinion.
