Space Hulk Arrives: To Deathwing or not to Deathwing… That is the question!

Space Hulk arrived a couple days ago. I have to say I’m very impressed. The miniatures are top notch (for Blood Angels 😛 ) The boards pieces and counters are spectacular. They used really nice thick board pieces so you know these are going to last and I was surprised to find that they actually added some texture to the board pieces themselves. I do have one complaint and that is I was hoping the squares on the board would fit 40mm bases however they are the same size as the previous versions of Space Hulk. Also It would have been great to have the rule and mission books either hardcover or perfect bound like a codex. However that’s just me nit-picking I’m a bit anal retentive when it comes to my rule books heh.

But over all this is a fantastic box set and if you were on the fence I’d say take the plunge they really did Space Hulk justice.

Now the real question becomes, do I convert all these Blood Angel Terminators to Deathwing? Part of me wants too because they are just such nice miniatures with a ton of detail and would look great painted bone. The other side of me doesn’t want to convert these miniatures at all BECAUSE they looks so good as they are. Maybe I should just paint them up as Blood Angels and hope for a Deathwing Expansion? hehe.

What do you all think?
