Space Hulk !

Hi folks !

I had the privilege to be invited at Nico's place. If you don't know him yet, he is an Oldhammer fanatic and the guy behind this great blog.
He collects good old lead minis and is an awesome painter. Later I also discovered he is a very talented cook !! Well to be honest, the week end was good indeed :D

We decided to play Space Hulk on Saturday and Warhammer on Sunday.

Why Space Hulk ? well I've never been a big fan but I never played so much to it. The occasion was to try Nico's fantastic Space Hulk table.

He literally built everything. It is better than the spaceship in Alien.
Amazing, isn't ?

Everything is detailed and perfectly painted.
As he doesn't leave any detail behind, he also painted all the miniatures needed and the combat cards...

So first mission, I played the marines and I need to close the entry of the genestealers. 

Sorry I meant xenos scum my Lord.

I did my best but it was very hard to advance while being in overwatch, maybe I needed to be more offensive, the mission was a terrible fail !!

By the Emperor, They are coming !!!

My reception committee, we are prepared !! But all jammed...

I finally succeeded to open the door...

My brave sergent, who succeeded to slain 5 stealers in close combat before to die... 

Mission Two : defend the command board.

The stealers want to destroy the gates command control board. The mission of the marines is to defend it and stop them.

On this mission I had two squads with a lot of terminator heavy weapons (cyclone missile launcher, assault cannon...)

I think I didn't use them well and only one sergeant and one heavy flamer survived, but the mission was completed !! 

Looks like we are screwed :D

Back to back Brother !!

Traitor spotted !

The chaos champion and its babies, they suddenly met the heavy flamer :D

None shall pass !!

Mission Three, Xeno scum and daemons must be eradicated 

As spotted in mission 2, the xenos were in fact hidding a cult of Slaanesh, the Dark Prince of Chaos. Hum, must be why walls were whining...

This time I had the reinforcement of the Ordo Malleus itself... 5 grey knights, 1 Inquisitor and a Brother Archivist.

Despite the force points and the reinforcements, they were too numerous. I even didn't see the Patriach...

Well it was a great time anyway !!!
