The Core Worlds

Since I had a little spare time last night, I started work on putting my new army together. I’m really impressed by the quality of the plastics that are available these days.

I only ever managed to play Space Hulk a few times, at least the proper version. The computer game just wasn’t the same (I think it might also have been one of the few games that required me to disable turbo on my old 486 to slow it from 66Mhz to a meagre 7).

Copies are selling on eBay for quite insane prices, so I’m probably not going to be able to relive that particular part of my childhood through that channel.

Happily, Games Workshop have produced some rules that are supposed to recreate the feel of the original game. So, despite my intentions to aid the Green Tide in conquering the galaxy, I might just have to invest in a couple of squads of Terminators and some of those nasty Genestealers in order to build myself a pseudo-Space Hulk set.

Hopefully, it will prove to be a good system for quick games that don’t require much in the way of set up, and keep the measuring down to a minimum. I have quite a few friends who like board games, and this might turn out to be something that will appeal to them.
