I've had it up to here with Warhammer Space Hulk teases, and this new board game doesn't help

Warhammer just revealed a new board game set in its grimdark 40K universe, and it's another case of 'close, b♛ut no cigar' for Space Hulk fans.

If you're anything like me, you probably got very excited after seeing the title of "Team Up and Clear Out a Space Hulk." But this isn't a remake of the classic Warhammer 40K game. More specifically, 'Space Marine Adventures: Tyranid Attack!' is an entry-level experience that sees pﷺlayers become pest control on one of the enormous starships. And by "pest," I mean "giant gibbering xenomorphs."

According to the reveal, this is a "fast-paced game for one to four players" that sees a band of Space Marines tackling the vessel floor by floor. To be precise, it requires us to "triumph against all three levels in one marath🌜on game that will test your skills to the limit as you battle waves of enemies bef🐎ore facing off against the Tyranid Prime."

With its beginner focus, Tyranid Attack feels more like the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best board games than a wargame – rather than a box full of miniatures, it features five hero models and enemies represented by cardboard tokens. It also includes what looks to be a modular board. However, you are getting minis based on five of the best-known Space Marine chapters: Blood Angels, Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Iron Hands, and Salamanders. Am I a little salty that my beloved Dark Angels didn't make the cut? Sure. But this is 🅠still a decent rogue's gallery as it is.

Although it's onlꦗy availa💫ble at Target in the US for now, Space Marine Adventures: Tyranid Attack! will apparently arrive in other territories later this year.
