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?

P.S. Bell of Lost Souls has some great support products for Space Hulk listed here.

Hey all,

Space Hulk was the game that got me started playing GW games oh so long ago, so I thought I’d post here after my long absence, that Games Workshop is releasing a new “limited edition” of this much loved game.

You can read more about it here on Games Workshops website here.

From the photos it looks really nice although the Terminators are of the Blood Angels chapter… lets keep our fingers crossed for a Deathwing Expansion hehe.

On a side note, my apologies to anyone that has been “anxiously” awaiting me to update this website. I have to admit that after I left Games Workshop I haven’t painted or touched anything GW related in the last year or so. Just a bit burned out I guess. And the way things ended just made it all the more easy to just stop wanting to have anything to do with GW anymore.

Since then I’ve moved from Texas to Michigan and I’m getting my life settled again so we’ll see what happens. Perhaps this new Space Hulk release will prompt me to pick up the paint brush again.

Take care everyone,

Sorry for the lack of substantial updates this week, it’s been a bit hectic as we go into the holiday season. But expect some of the galleries to be updated tonight or early tomorrow.

So if you haven’t picked up or read this months US edition of White Dwarf, #335, I suggest if you can find a copy check out pages, 109, 110, and 111. Those pages have all the staff Golden Demon winners from Gamesday Los Angeles 2007. If you don’t already know, lets just say my entries did very well… two golds, a silver, and the staff Slayer Sword well!
